Does a new Computer case count? :D

Hope I can get a new joystick sometime this holiday, it seems to be slowly dieing.  Rudder pedals still work fine though, luckily (cost dang near 150$). :)

Sorry TM but I predict that Santa will be shot down again this year. You may have to search around for your headset. It'll probably be next to one of Dans failed P38G flights. :aok

I have almost stopped at the local circuit city (which is closing... and I love to shop a closing store) on more than several occassions.  The few times I did go in, I got stuff for the sons, and skipped the headset for myself.  The closer it gets to christmas, though, the more I wish I'd just gotten it for myself & not wait for Santa.. since I'll probaby end up going & buying it for myself after I don't get it for Christmas... at which time I'll be battling the after-christmas crowds (which I hate). :)

Yeah, I'm unemployed as well. Fortunately, I have kept my bills quite low and live in a very modest home. Frankly, I'm making it quite well so far. So I have no gripes. Thank goodness I followed Dave Ramsey's advice.

I'm going to get Guppy a successful , undamaged landing in a P-38G. It'll probably get damaged during shipping though.

[ On  a side note Guppy, I'd be interested in what your adjusted straight ahead view looks like in that G and what, if any, view you have set to <KP>8? ]

Nice move Stampf, SirVilkas is certainly a nice guy!!

I'm hoping that Santa will bring Brewster to AH while visiting the arenas at Xmas night. Since Santa is from Finland (from a place called "Korvatunturi") and has been saved from the iivil commie russians by our Air Forces, he might think we deserve one ;)

Please Mr. Santa :pray

Ahemmmm I might have to have a word with Santa for you TM.  I talked to him the other night and he said you had been a good girl.

As for me, new CH stick, buying myself pedals and throttle.  Hopefully a new comp somewhere within 6 mos. after fixing the motorcycle.

*smile*

I've been a little bit disappointed; now that he's gotten time to log on a little bit more, I am the one who has run out of time to play.  Having a chance to play at the same time as him is the only reason I ever started playing ~ and when I see him logged on, it's always my favorite times (killing a camper falls into a close 2nd *smile*).

But it's okay ~ you don't have to put a bug in his ear about the headset :) I appreciate it though!

Heres something I found in the everyday screenshot  thread.

I'm not sure who made it and can not seem to find it again to give credit where credit is due but here it is for your own personal use.

You can copy and paste it right into your Ah folder where the other Jpegs are from here i think. If not just save it and make sure it's named AHlogo. You will then see it on log in. Of course you can do it with any picture on your computer if you don't like this one...but give it a shot anyway especially if you like the F6. IT LOOKS GREAT!
