    Photo Memory Cards

    Get a "Class 10" card if you plan on making any videos. The upper limit on how many megs you buy is dictated by what the camera can handle. ;)

    Spork's Journey

    There's a list of things Amber can already say and you can string them together. For example when I switch to Acro she'll first say "Acro Mode", followed by "Things are about to get real" which is a script I created. It's a convoluted process to make up your own scripts, but you can actually...

    Need to upgrade my PC... on the cheap

    When I built my first computer (Altair 8080 clone) Windows didn't even exist yet ! There was a program called "Quick Menu" (or something like that) where you could make little green (EVERYTHING was green, no color screens yet) buttons on the screen that were embedded scripts of extensive...

    Need to upgrade my PC... on the cheap

    o_O ... WTH ... Those are both the same cards, just one has active cooling and the other with passive cooling for $10 bucks less !? Frikkin Amazon ... lol ... looked like the one with just the heat sink was a better card at first. I'd get the one with the built in fan then. Those things run...

    o_O ... Ummm .... It didn't work. It just says "ERROR". .... But welcome to the forum ! :) You'll probably have to make more posts before you're allowed to "link" stuff, so just explore and chat with folks until your "vetted" (for lack of a better term). :D

    Need to upgrade my PC... on the cheap

    :rolleyes: ... 8GB is fine, especially since you're not using the integrated graphics. For only $3 more from "BuyVPC" you can get a GT1030 with a bigger pipe AND double the clock speed than from Amazon ?! That's a no-brainer imho (never been that big a fan of Amazon anyway). You are going to...

    College Majors

    Excellent advise .... I'd also add, consider that sometimes it's not the class (subject matter) but the teachers. English Lit (of all things, which I'd naturally despise) was one of my favorite classes because the teacher was so cool, conversely, Calculus (something I'm naturally interested in)...

    Quad Arrived Next Day

    o_O ... Then there's the (literally) "Slow Boat from China" ... that can take an entire MONTH, and oh yeah, no tracking either ! :eek:

    Spork's Journey

    Yep ! .... I'm also using Amber, she sounds much more sultry than the stock voice ... lol ... also, after I've ignored her for too long and monitors are approaching a critical state, she shuts up, the haptic feedback kicks on, and Yoda chimes in instead. When Yoda tells you "Land now you should...

    :rolleyes: ... Great "splash screen"! ... lol ... Mine's just a pic of a QAV 250, but I love the greetings "she" gives me depending on my switch's settings when I turn it on ... Out of curiosity, does that version of the Taranis also speak ?

    SkyRC imax B6AC v2 and a Battery Question

    o_O ... One balance line per cell can regulate that cell's charging to achieve a balanced pack. One balance line looking at multiple cells has no control over whatever any single cell wants to do. Yes in a single pack ! .... But when that balance line is looking at cell number three in four...

    SkyRC imax B6AC v2 and a Battery Question

    Moz, my hobby experience goes back even further, I was referring to my professional experience :p I know full well what the term "balance" means, thank you very much ! :mad: That is EXACTLY what I mentioned in the third paragraph from the end of that dissertation. o_O That is correct. WRONG...

    SkyRC imax B6AC v2 and a Battery Question

    Unless the laws of physics have changed since I began professionally messing with this stuff back in 1974 I am absolutely correct. Ohm's law states that in a parallel circuit the voltage applied to each node (battery in this case) is equal, and current varies (in other words it's NOT...

    You may need to add some drivers to the computer in order for it to properly handle using the radio as a "game controller". ;) When using my Taranis X9D+ once the sim has "seen" it I can actually turn off the radio entirely and it basically becomes just like a joystick that runs off the USB...

    Spork's Journey

    I like Freerider to warm up with, especially if I haven't flown for a while, (plus the computer load is a lot less) but Liftoff feels much more real to me. My computer can't handle the high graphic settings either without affecting everything else (especially in Liftoff) so I just lower it to...

    SkyRC imax B6AC v2 and a Battery Question

    The following is the copied transcript of the conversation between myself and online "Help" with respect to the parallel "charging and balancing" board linked to previously in this thread. It was my hope that some one had developed a device that actually does what it's name eludes to, because if...
