The new base bar! - Page 10

OK, the machine runs fine again. It really was the power pack.

I went straight to the shop where I bought it (25km away from here, the local shops suck) and gave it back. The guy told me that it was no problem since I still had a warranty on that thing and then he said it will take about 3 - 5 WEEKS (!!!) to get my a new one! (they are sending the damaged one back to the manufacturer in China, then those guys check it and then they ship one back to Germany...or what's taking so long?)

Well I told him that I'll gladly take the new one when it has arrived and went for another shop to buy me a cheap new one right on the spot.
5-8 weeks without power? Hey I've heard there are even people who need their PC for work. Is that some sort of "better buy a new one than insist on the warranty"?
I can't believe it.

I'll replace the cheap one with the other one when it arrives and keep the cheap one in reserve.

Good to hear that, mate! Hoping to see you online tonight.

Oberon · 07-05-08, 02:53 PM

Hopefully be around soon. Just waiting for the machine to become available.

Oberon · 07-06-08, 07:20 AM

Fun flight last night, even if the German AI decided to put half of our bomber fleet in a pile just before the runway...that was a bit bizarre...

Schroeder · 07-09-08, 04:43 AM

Where were you guys yesterday? I was ther all alone in the dark spaces of the ts....

Kratos · 07-09-08, 05:17 AM

I was around for a while, but decided to get my @ss in gear and fix a little problem since installing new G/card. Seems ATI catalyst control centre likes to disable the function for playing back avi. files. Took quite a while to figure out.

HunterICX · 07-09-08, 05:22 AM

Dowly · 07-11-08, 09:35 AM

Will try to be there... :hmm:

Fincuan · 07-13-08, 11:44 AM

Sorry guys, I wasn't able to make it afterall on friday. Rock climbing trip went a bit long. I'll be on tonight at the normal time.

Stealth Hunter · 07-13-08, 03:25 PM

What is your server IP? I'll try to make it on...

We all need to get together and do a mission entirely revolving around bombers... although I want to make the suggestion that Hunter sticks to being a tail gunner.

HunterICX · 07-15-08, 06:26 AM

another great couple of sorties yesterday evening,
we really did some serious damage on those Ki-21 groups.
Schröder, remember to keep your distance from those bombers:rotfl:
and it was good to fly with you Fincuan

another Subsim member in our Online sorties, great stuff

Well, almost after 2 months, I FINALLY got arsed to get my old joystick from my mom's place (I got new table, and it's done by some darn twat. So, now my tower has to be on the other end of it, making my joysticks & headset's cords too short to reach all the way there. ) and installed B17 II: The mighty eight. Went with the NikiMcbee's method of making a SubSim crew for the plane "SubSim Showdown", the first mission was blast. I was quickly shown why I love this game so much, and the hearing Kratos yell from the navigator's seat "I cant get a fix of our location!" every five minutes made me grin the whole flight (Tho, during the massive flak over Brest uboat base I was silently hoping he'd get hit so I could get someone competent to fill the navigator's seat). Thanks to Kratos' poor navigation skills, we were slightly off the course when the bombing run started and because of the flak, I was busy nursing the men & putting out the fires to notice it; whole wing bombed "the red light district", oh well, atleast the morale of the uboatwaffe nosedived.

We had "only" one casualty on our flight, B17 flying on my 6o'clock low got peppered by the flak over Brest and I saw 2 of her engines smoking all the way to england. Later on I learned the plane had crashed sometime during when I had landed and all crew was KIA.

As for our B17, it was miraculously intact. Oberon, XabbaRus & Schroeder were wounded, the first two listed as "medium injury" and Schroeder as critically injured. I'm surprised NikiMcbee, who was sitting on the bomber's seat during the flak managed to dodge all the schrapnels, the nose of my B17 was black with holes after the flak. Oh well, tonight again, with new crew and maybe a better first sortie.
