Re: Not your typical RC plane sound

I prefer the sound of the earlier three cylinder 200cc engine which was installed in the video posted by Joe.

When I flew control line aircraft as a kid my largest engine was 2.5cc and 10cc engines were huge. This has a 310cc four cylinder engine. :-O

Re: Do You Have A Motorbike?

I agree with Mike, and yes I am a motorbike rider. Right at the start of the video is a description of the accident that the developer had which describes him hitting the car in front of him because he was distracted and didn't see it braking in time. I don't see that having a camera on the back of ...

Re: Flight Attendant Over the Limit.

Oops. I stand corrected. :$ However the first time the article states the result it says 71 micrograms but further on it quotes a lawyer as saying the result was 71mg. mg being the abreviation for milligrams not micrograms which are mcg. Still my mistake. I should have realised that they were decrib...

Re: Flight Attendant Over the Limit.

Not wanting to defend the attendant who was over the limit for flight crew and has rightly been disciplined, but the article is a bit hysterical in tone. 71mg is 71 milligrams not 71 micrograms as stated in the article. 71 micrograms (mcg) is 0.071 milligrams which is a tiny amount of alcohol in 100...

Re: Hamilton wins at Abu Dhabi but......

I watched the end of the race and agreed with the Italian commentator who said that Hamilton is a good winner but needs to learn to be a good loser.

Re: Scan Guard offered free until 4 November

Hi Nigel, I'm glad that you got the reinstall done and that your computer is running better. I'm also still working FSX. Like the operating system over the years it had many aircraft and scenery changes mostly freeware, this time I'm going for a cleaner more organised but more expensive install. I'v...

Re: Third Moan of The Month!

I think it depends where you are. If you're in an area with street lights and pavements then I agree with you. However if you're on a road without street lights and pavements I think that it's more important that they can see you and your dog. In such a situation you would no doubt be carrying a tor...

Re: Scan Guard offered free until 4 November

Well it was things like the update problem on my work laptop and a list of glitches on my home desktop (it crashed frequently) that caused me to reinstall Windows 7 from scratch on both computers. As both computers are running well now I'm happy I did it, even though it was a couple of weeks of work...

Re: Scan Guard offered free until 4 November

Sorry to read this.

It does seem to be worse than just the update client. I hope you get it sorted out soon, and apologise if I've made things worse.
