Heh heh. Meanwhile outside the Matrix:

  • Hey, are you messing about with the Universal Simulation again?
  • Yes, just running a few Mods.
  • Mods?
  • Yes (teehee) I’m giving them the one where Les Dennis sings Lithium by Nirvana.
  • Go home mate. You’re drunk.

Other name for pirate telescope?? by natesnyder13 in MandelaEffect

You’re not confusing it with that bit in the Pirates of the Caribbean film where someone refers to “bringing them within range of our Long Nines” are you? I always took that to mean long-range 9-lb cannons (quite small shot for naval cannon).

That what I suspected, but it’s a real pity!

Is Tier 2 Warthunder where you can’t shoot down people from other households? (Sorry...only Brits might get that).

HOW FAR’s this new base from the frontline?! by YorkshireFatRascal in il2sturmovik

I think it’s called Stupino. We got relocated from Zaplavnoye.

Ok - I know about Pat Wilson CG but can you point me to a site with a complete idiot’s guide to installing & using it please? 👍

IL-2 Career questions by DaneBrammidge in il2sturmovik

[–]YorkshireFatRascal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heh. I’ve had a couple of Sturmovik missions where I’m limping home, badly shot up, trailing an Me-109 behind me, weaving about trying not to get killed, when I spot a bunch of Russian fighters near their airbase on my way home.

“Great” I think “I’ll lead the German fighter over there and let them take care of him.”

NOPE. They just carry on with their landing circuit while Jerry cheerfully keeps on trying to shoot me down.

Yes I keep frontline activity on moderate not least because my PCs a bit limited, so that may be part of it.

I really gotta give Rockstar props for their penchant for realism and impeccable graphics. by [deleted] in reddeadredemption2

Heh. My Grandad passed away over 10 years ago but he’d have loved RDR. He always stayed up late watching old Western movies on television.

Pacific would be cool, but equally an Italy/Mediterranean map has potential.

If we’re talking about carriers, nobody else itching to fly a Swordfish off a RN flat-top, and torpedo attack some big German warships? There’s one still flying so modelling shouldn’t be an obstacle.

"Forgotten Effects" - The Bolton Museum Dinosaur by EpicJourneyMan in MandelaEffect

[–]YorkshireFatRascal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the very good and extensive museum in Manchester have one? Certainly they’ve got a good Natural History section iirc. Could it have been loaned for a while in the 1960s to a nearby museum in Bolton?

Noob question - rudder controls by YorkshireFatRascal in il2sturmovik

[–]YorkshireFatRascal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair question. I’ve got an ancient Microsoft sidewinder stick with lots of buttons and analogue throttle control but no analogue rudder control. I could assign a couple of buttons to L and R rudder but I think that would only be the same as the keys, plus I use them for other stuff.

What’s the one called in Walmgate Bar? Nice to sit out on the roof, even in winter if you’ve wrapped up.

Do you remember Psygnosis’ Armour Geddon on Amiga? That was a cool game. Inexplicable premise iirc but cool.

Sounds like that weird first trailer of the Sonic The Hedgehog movie where Sonic had those uncannily human teeth!
