There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

If you have a good solid core 2 duo or core 2 quad system with a decent DX10 video card your frame rate drop is minimal. The benefits of accusim are extremely high when it comes to "real world" operation and it can be turned on or off.

I imagine this would be a great tool for RL warbird pilots wishing to get time in the B-17.

Crew of the 'Smooth Slammer' (My Bird) stood to, "hey PRB not forgetting your flak jackets are ya? Jerry don't exactly like our lot flying about" *Stares at the sky* weathers clearing...
shame theres no 'Spook' Fortress... RAF used 3 (I Think) B-17's (Fortress III's) as radio and radar jammers for their night time raids over germany, night fighters can't get ya if they can't talk to the ground radar
B-17 Fortresses with No. 214 Squadron. These aircraft were crammed with newly developed, and secret, electronic devices. Murray recalled that, "We went to war without bombs but with Tinsel, ABC, Mandrel, Jostle and all the other countermeasures invented by the Telecommunications Research Establishment at Malvern. The crew included a "Special Wireless Operator," a fluent German-speaking airman whose primary function was to tune his powerful jammer -- code-named 'Jostle' -- to the frequencies being used by the German night-fighter controllers and blot out their transmissions to their own questing night-fighters."
^Note the Telescopic 'Cigar' antenna...
Anyways... Stood to and waiting (im)patiently (At times) :salute:
