Experimenting with my new system, FS settings, and a new version of PSP. And for the first time, I find myself wanting to find a place to upload hires versions.








Thanks for looking.

Thanks. 

Neither. It is a combination of several peoples water addons collected and put together by ShaneG. It's on our server and I think the file name is newfswater.zip but I'm not sure where it is on the server and our downloads don't support filename search. Try looking in FS2004 Scenery or Misc for New FS water.

Thanks FF, that's a real compliment. 

Uh, might take some talent also.  Hope I can find enough to keep up with the capabilities of the box.

Thanks Doug. 

It's due sometime between the 7th and 22nd. Actual tracking is not available. Guess the GPS is not working for whatever slow boat it's on. 

However, you're 'on hold again' statement is spot on for Dell and the replacement monitor. Just like before, it shows 'in production', though I was promised 'ship in 24 hours, delivery in 48'. Well, I've learned not to hold my breath when dealing with Dell. They are becoming more like Microsoft daily. Yes, they build good products, especially the Alienware division, but their quality control is slipping and tech support leaves quite a lot to be desired. But on the Dell side, not Alienware. Alienware tech support has gone above and beyond. As to the monitor screen, I have nothing but praise, it's simply the mechanics of the stand and base and/or the assembly prior to shipping. The Alienware, is, well, bloody perfect. The only problem with it, is the software, i.e. Microsoft. The Alienware software is as good as the hardware. The inside of the case is amazing. I have never seen such high quality construction and neatness to the layout in any computer. It is so good, I would not hesitate to add a second graphics card myself. And I have always been fearful of doing any hardware mods myself. But this one, is a dragon of another shade. (anybody get the movie reference there?) Adding a third or fourth hard drive or a second video card is simply a matter of pushing a metal box (card or drive) into a cubicle and plugging in a couple of connectors. I suspect the software side would be more difficult, but not bad. If anyone is curious. there are plenty of videos on the Alienware site and youtube that show the inside of the case. It is larger than I or my son expected, and this is the small one. I highly recommend an Alienware purchase for anyone wanting a high performance graphics machine. As computers go these days, I think it is worth the price. And no, I am not on retainer to Dell or Alienware. If I was, this would be an Area 51 ALX instead of a non ALX Aurora. 

Just as soon as I type this, I am going to sit on my hands so I don't get on my soapbox.  You hit the proverbial metal fastener square on the capitulum. I'm going now......

Thanks Shane. 
If I ever get the gremlins corraled and get everything loaded back, maybe I can post some decent shots. Right now this thing with the rudder has me scratching my hair out, not to mention the holes I've created in my skull.
