Peter, what sort of stick is that you have there?

Ben, it is an "F-16 Combat Stick" by CH that I have been enjoying for some years. Naturally it is USB and has superior control to any previous stick that I've used (none of those were USB and some were very expensive) :flying:

Dave...I kept the field of view very narrow

Nigel...I have to admit that she does insist on a periodic blitz and is there with large plastic bags and saying "What about this?" and "What about that?"...To which I fight manfully to preserve the status quo It is amazing how heavy those plastic bags are after these sessions and not so amazing that I can never find anything I'm looking for later. She looks at my filing system in my computer with its thousands of folders and multiple drives with horror...BUT she is definitely not allowed in there

I have that clock as my screensaver....

its awesomely good!!! :dance: :dance:

good to have on when im sat at my desk studying!!

Cheers

neil

and it does tick!!

Too much Friday :drinkers:

I thought Dave said 'Tiny' - not 'tidy'....... :roll:

Peter, we turned our third bedroom into an office as my wife had taken many courses and is presently half way through another to become an accountant. Subsequently there are many files and folders sitting in the shelving units which means that there is very little, if any, space for me to put my bits and bobs.

Many times I am being asked to find somewhere to put my things so the desk is not cluttered so now all the drawers are stacked full of my bits and bobs but I can't ever seem to find out where I put each bit and bob!!

Nigel.

Yep, Tell me about it Nigel! ...I call my little room "My Flight Deck" and it's crammed with all I can get in. The overflow goes up into the loft, which I floored ten years ago when we bought this house. My dear Wife has the loft totally organised with an "Access Aisle" down the middle so that one can get at everything without having to clamber over anything else! She is fantastic really but I some times wonder where it will all eventually finish up! :doho:

My computer now has close to a million files in it and next month I will be three quarters of the way to a Queen's Telegram...I suppose that would probably be a "King's Telegram"

I guess that is why I spend a lot of time scheming about what sort of flights to make next in my Flight Simulator (a sort of "Time Machine" that I can use every day to journey back into the past)... :flying:

Sounds like you have a very organised wife Peter, mine is and wo-betide me if I misplace anything and that does not just mean in the study!!

Reading from yor post Peter, it appears you must spend many happy hours flying the aircraft that you used to do and also recreating the exact flights?

Regards Nigel.

Not quite Nigel...Yes I do fly aircraft in FS that I flew in real life and I do have plans to recreate things I've done...But not necessarily in the same aircraft type. My ambition is to create a formation aerobatics flight similar to ones I have flown many times in real life, but perhaps going a little further. I have a fair list of things to do in the future and they include a reconstruction of a full 208 Squadron flight from Stradishall to Nairobi with Hunter FGA9s. My plan is to create it with AI Traffic, but with a single empty slot for me flying the real user aircraft...A complex project. My planned MagPole rendezvous between 9 two seater Hunters and 9 F16s has got the end stage working OK with the Hunters arriving at Yakutat and finally popping over to McLeland Field...This is all AI Traffic and has been flown many times but it got interupted with the arrival of Glacier Bay v2 and there were many failures with Hunters flying off into the sunset to oblivion...That is all fixed now so the project is ready to take further. The Bandit Enterprises Formation Aerobatic Team air display is a newly dreamed up project and is well under way. The team is built but not painted and I'm trying to decide whether to attempt the painting myself (it involves Colour rather than livery design changes and the application of some text on the fuselages). I have a couple of dramatic scenery changes planned just for the display and the end target is Video as well as Screenshots...In fact Video and DVDs feature prominently in all future projects and my new 3rd external HD with 500 GBs is working fine as the VideoStudio 11 Store. Planned Solo Aerobatics for the air display include a display in "Little Bandit" and another in "Echo"...Heaven knows how long it will take to get all this working and displaying on DVD but I've made a start :flying:
