  1. Do you mean like that.... Check now, see if it works.. I just made a "General multirotors" for now.. If you would like any specific forums in that new category then fire away Will take the forum and website down on Thursday night to move it.
  2. Hi all Just a quick heads up, to let you all know that the website will be undergoing some upgrades. First thing will be the forum as I shall be upgrading it to the latest version of its software and hopefully, may the god of good upgrades be with me, it wont all go pear shaped. Dont worry if it does, I have it all backed up, so can restore it all. So if you see anything go a bit weird, its very likely that its due to something I am either doing or have done and havent yet noticed, but will soon Any queries or telling off's, please do shout or ask
  3. Good news... Rang up Horizon on Wed at 4pm, and for £7, they sent me a brand new power supply which arrived Thursday morning, and all is now working great. Very impressed with Horizon.. They told me if it doesn't sort it, I can send the PSU back for a refund with the radio and they would most likely fix it for either nothing, or £10 to £15 if it came to it.. Happy days
  4. Thanks anyway guys.. I don't have a suitable lead. I'll bring it with me to Club-night, incase any of you guys are coming and might have a DX8 charger you can bring to try it..
  5. Hi Guys Do any of you DX8 owners live near West Wickham and have a BX8 charger I could text on my radio for a few minutes? With mine, when I plugin the charger, it doesnt always start charging, I seem to have to wiggle the charge lead in the socket for it to light up and start charging, but dont know if its that charger or the radio thats causing it. I just took the radio apart to see if there was anything obvious wrong inside, but everything inside seems rock solid, so am hoping its just a bit of corrosion inside the charge lead thats causing the problem.. I ca

    Phoenix 5.0v

    All seems to work ok on Windows 10 too
  8. HOLE - E - CRAPOLA! That's freaking awesome... My strings of LED's suddenly feel seriously inadequate, like having a major porn star turn-up to a 3 minute fumble and laugh at you!
  9. Hi Dave How big is the hall mate? In relation to that other school we were using not so long ago...
  10. haaaaa, I wish... Sadly not mate.. If I had my own stewardess, I certainly wouldnt have time for a flight sim I'd love a real 737 Sim, but those are £40k to buy, almost ready to go, and are about 3 times the size of my dinky little setup.. I had tried FSX previously, but was totally unaware of the entire world of addons and hardware that was available for it, and it wasnt until you pointed out GEX/UTX that I looked them up and discovered an alladins cave of goodies... Thus for me, FSX was reborn Its pretty awesome to fly it too..

    FPV Anybody?

    Serves him right too, hes a feckin idiot.. Typical Americans stupid comments on his youtube video too.. Flying like that is only going to cause problems for everybody the world over.... To put the video online is just beyond moronic. The problem now is, its not just him who will suffer the consequences, but the entire RC hobby and FPV in general.
  12. Hey Arun So, haven't been up the field for ages, after getting the NGX and making a few tweaks to my flight sim setup, here is why I haven't been at the club in ages.. [attachment=1]1262919_10151913643942170_639326004_o.jpg[/attachment] [attachment=0]1277792_10151913645232170_34940458_o.jpg[/attachment] Got rid of the office desks, replaced them with an Obutto R3Volution and all flight sim hardware from GoFlight and have been learning the Boeing 737 NGX for about a year so far, in my spare time. Incredibly addictive... Got the performance nailed down now with 2 PC's running

    FPV Anybody?

    ha haaa, cheers Dave... I'm only half done building my ground station... Life keeps getting in the way
  14. Bummer... I think Leon is the only person I have ever seen who can actually answer his phone and keep flying at the same time. I religiously leave my phone in the car when flying, I don't even want to hear it ringing... Shame about your planes mate
  15. Ah haaa... I ditched the Dell XPS 8100 I was trying to run it on and built a monster, using 2 SSD drives in RAID0, with an ATI 6990, and it now fly's along (Excuse the pun) Can make you feel a bit dizzy though flying a jet out of london city airport doing aerobatics @ 500ft when you use 3 screens, as the feeling of actual movement is uncanny... I was thinking of getting the PMDG 737NGX for mine next... I've added almost the entire Saitek pro-flight range, and it really really changes things dramatically, makes it soooo much more enjoyable to use, but I did have to add 14 USB po

    Ooh - Pi!

    I think the first project should be to come up with an anti-drowning device to wake peter up, if he dozes off in his bathchair Or not.. ha ha ha Seriously though, this thing WILL have huge potential in the RC world.. I could easily see these replacing the KK boards, and having super simple USB HD camera hookups, even POE charging and flight data downloading, programmed flight patterns and more..
  17. Welcome to try it out if ya like...
  18. Hiya matey.... Long time no see... This setup is even more awesome when I plugin the Saitek flight yoke and all its "fluff", its bloomin mental
  19. lol, I didnt want to brag, but as you asked... Corsair 600T case Corsair AX850w modular PSU Corsair H100 twin fan Radiator cooler for CPU Intel i7 CPU quad core HT @ 3.6gHz (New socket 2011 type) Asus P9X79 pro systemboard 16GB Corsair DDR3 1866 Memory ATI Radeon 6990 4GB Dual GPU graphics card (Supports 6 screens if needed) 2 x 450GB SSD hard drives in RAID0 (Always cold to the touch and silent) The systemboard is totally awesome, and its onboard monitoring software is excellent.. So far, when running normal day to day stuff, web, emails, photo/video editing, it runs at abo
  20. Problem is, most existing PC's cant fit the graphics card in that I bought, so I had to start from scratch and build my own PC. Not sure I would really want people on my back about their PC though.. People are lazy, and bug you for absolutely everything because they cant be bothered to read the manual.. The problem in just using a bigger single screen is everything the n gets bigger, so you gain nothing other than everything on-screen is bigger, which is great, as you can sit further back, but you still dont get that peripheral vision that any single screen setup restricts you to.
  21. Hiya Arun Have finally sorted out my flight sim x, and ended up building a new pc to run it all in the end... My old graphics card struggled to cope, despite the pc having loads of grunt. Bought a new graphics card, it is so big it wouldn't fit in my dell, so just wound up building a new pc instead, with triple screen gaming... Oh, have you seen the saitek pro flight kit? Pretty good stuff, and totally changes the sim
  22. Those are 3 x Dell 24" ultra bright screens, all on the same graphics card, all settings to maximum Very happy with it, after messing about for a week building a new custom pc to run it all
  23. Finally got to test out ATI's eyefinity setup this morning with Phoenix and its bloody awesome!!! So much more peripheral vision makes a massive difference [attachment=0]ImageUploadedByTapatalk1341396758.662223.jpg[/attachment]
  24. You know I fix computers Pete... Dont you?
  25. Nope... Nothing changed here... Is your screen in the way out? Fonts the same, colours the same...
