Panther Senior Member Registered: 07/10/05 Posts: 4182 Loc: Nellis AFB, NV	Browsing the USS Midway yesterday, saw a lot of interesting things but one thing caught my attention the most. I really wanted to see what skills the guy had, but I wasn't wanting to wait in line. _________________________ Virtual Thunderbirds, LLC \| Sponsored by Thrustmaster i7 950 \| GA-X58A-UD3R \| 8GB Corsair DDR3 \| EVGA GTX 460 SLI 1GB \| SanDisk 120GB \| VelociRaptor 600GB \| Win 7 64bit \| TIR5 \| TM HOTAS Warthog #01629 \| TM MFD Cougar Pack \| CH Pro Pedals \| Fanatec CSW w/ Formula Rim & CSPv2 \| Obutto R3Volution \| The Black Max \| 40" Sharp LCD

Or at least the guy with the X52 was picking off the poor souls in the simulators. _________________________ Virtual Thunderbirds, LLC \| Sponsored by Thrustmaster i7 950 \| GA-X58A-UD3R \| 8GB Corsair DDR3 \| EVGA GTX 460 SLI 1GB \| SanDisk 120GB \| VelociRaptor 600GB \| Win 7 64bit \| TIR5 \| TM HOTAS Warthog #01629 \| TM MFD Cougar Pack \| CH Pro Pedals \| Fanatec CSW w/ Formula Rim & CSPv2 \| Obutto R3Volution \| The Black Max \| 40" Sharp LCD

Make it to the San Diego Aviation Museum in Balboa Park to see Duke Cunningham's F-4?

HogDriver XBL: Matador McNasty Member Registered: 10/09/10 Posts: 1645	I think i might have been a bigger Star Wars fan if your "Wookie Hunter" there was actually like that in the movies. Oh and thanks Panther for the interesting pic. _________________________ I blame pilot error.

NavyNuke99 One Man Wolfpack Senior Member Registered: 01/04/09 Posts: 4004 Loc: Raleigh, NC	I used to live in downtown, and the Midway Museum and the park around there were on my regular running route. Did you get a chance to check out the Maritime Museum too? I know the just added the Dolphin there a couple of years ago. _________________________ " And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: 'I served in the United States Navy.'"- John F.

I really wanted to see what skills the guy had, but I wasn't wanting to wait in line. My wife and I tried that combat simulator when we were there a few years ago. It was OK. Horrible graphics (something like MS CFS II). I smoked everyone else in there (4 or 5 other people). I didn't see the guy running it do too much when I was in line. There wasn't anything he needed a HOTAS for. He could have gotten away with a 2 axis, 2 button joystick from 1990. The only cool think about it was sitting in a mock F-8 cockpit. _________________________ HP Pavillion Dv6t Quad Edition, Win7 (64), i7 2.0ghz, 1GB Radeon HD6770M, 6GB RAM, 640GB HD, TrackIR 4, Saitek AV8R Currently Installed: Rise of Flight IL-2 DBW 3.0 FSX Acceleration DCS / Flaming Cliffs 3 Mechwarrior Online
