So this is just an ad for your website?

I got no problem with that. I have a website, too.  :D

Thanks,

no, its not a brag page, though I have put so much work into it.  Between putting in new gardens, I also have a disabled wife, so being a carer, I am trying to find things to do.  No I seem to have so much to do and surprisingly, leaning how to do a modern website has been a lot of fun.  I make my own graphics, recolor photos, research data and just when I think I have it nailed, I learn something new and start another upgrade sequence.  As such, I have something I want to put in my next upgrade since I found out about css.  I used to design websites back in the 90's, so my first attempt in 2013 was dismal.  Now I am learning all over again.  I have put a forum up, so you can brag about how this game is better than the other 2 flight sims.  I would love to hear from you in the forum.  I am also planning new changes for my site again, to include something I thing is great.  I figure a bit of a brag between the flight sims could be fun.  Also, it is a place where new pilots might be able to join in.
I  do hope to find some spare time to get back into the game, it looks so promising.  I would love to get some screenshots so I can put up next months calendar.  I have many from one other sim, but I would like to vary them.

Anyway, any feedback would be really helpful.

Thanks
Basil

then we can stop guessing what your problem is.

we assume you need to invert your axis but as the great saying goes assumption is the mother of all Fups lol  :salute

Hey guys,
well, I have done it again.  I went and upgraded my website again.  I found out how to do some really nice stuff and I thought I would incorporate it. Also, I have got into designing world war 2 memorabilia and can then put the images onto T shirts, plates, even clocks.  Check it out.  I would love some feedback.  Also, I do have a forum, but so far, nobody has joined it.  Just would be nice to have something there besides my stuff.

Added a new review:-      http://www.warintheskies.com/aircraft/H6K.html  The H6K 'Mavis'.  I had hoped that there would have been a little more feedback, comments or anything, however, nobody has joined my forum, nobody has commented on even this site, nothing.  I will just focus now on my new business and just leave my site as some sort of reference hobby site.  I will add the occasional plane and post here.

Thanks

OK, I have now got the new calendar wallpaper for November, thanks to Japko(War Thunder).  I have also added the Dornier Do217 to Luftwaffe aircraft.  If anyone wants to enter an image, they can go to the website and go to the forum and upload an image there.

Thanks

I am actually using a Microsoft Sidewinder, dated 1999!  It still works, though it is supposed to be connected to a gameport at the back of the PC, it is connected to a jumper cable the plugs into a USB port.  Windows 7 recognises it, but there are problems with the hat as it just doesnt do a 360 anymore.  Also, my 14yo Pixma iP1000 printer, same time period also died this week, so maybe I had better buy some replacments.

Hi,
I have now made the USA link to its own subsite as there are so many planes of the USA.  I have just added the B-17 and will be doing the B24, B25, B29, and probably a few more.  I want to also do the Navy bombers, like the Dauntless SBD, Devestator, Hedlldiver and Avenger.  I also am looking at the Ju88 for the Germans, the Nell, Ki63 Tony and Nate for the Japanese, the Pe-2 for the Russians and finishing off with the Lancaster, Beaufort, Beaufighter and the Boomerang to finish off the website.

I may then look at AFV's.  Also, instead of calendars of screenshots of someone, I am going to do some nostalgic posters of US bomber nose art each month.  Perhaps a sexy woman might peak some interest?

thanks
