Did y'all miss me? Don't answer that.:wavey: Anyway, after a couple weeks of PC withdrawal, I'm back. My 1 year old hard drive blew up a couple weeks ago and it has been a hassle dealing with life in general, let alone not simming. Being retired, I had to do some clever $$ juggling to round up the funds for a new drive. Then what happened but a shortage of drives due to the massive flooding in Thailand. Not only are they rationing the buggers around here, the prices have jumped up over 50% -- requiring yet more $$ juggling.

Once that mess was fixed, I was faced with recovering all the data (planes, scenery, effects, sounds, etc.) amassed over the past year. Fortunately, over 99% was recovered with only a few small irritating bits following the new fs9 install. Now I'm back in the cockpit and reving up the engines -- so to speak.

Enough of the "woe is me" stuff. Here's the Shockwave bits for the awesome c-11.

I must say this is a great little beast to get up to speed with. Love all the slick liveries hitting the tarmac.

I do have one question: I don't have a visible prop blur. Did anyone address this while I was in the isolation ward?
 
Welcome back racartron! Sorry to hear about your HD woes....been there many times before myself. After reading your post, I took a look at HD prices on Newegg....and boy have they gone up! The same 500gig Western Digital Caviar Black that my brother-in-law ordered 6 months ago for $56 is now over $120. I was planning on purchasing a new 1T HD to replace my old 120gig external drive as my archiving/back up drive...but I think I will wait a while until prices come back down.

OBIO
 
Did I miss you? No, I hardly noticed that you were gone! Welcome back!
Awesome, thanks for the lights for the C-11!
 
Welcome back Racartron. That sounds a bit of a nightmare, but glad you are sorted & back in the asylum with the rest of us.
