Top 3 Air Combat Games

1. Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 2

WWII in the Pacific challenged pilots and machines as never before. Combat Flight Simulator 2 takes you back to this historic time and place with exquisitely detailed aircraft, cockpits, and scenery. The flight dynamics of each accurately engineered aircraft capture the true experience of flying magnificent machines, from nimble Zeros to lethal workhorses like the Corsair and Hellcat. Details like moving canopies, folding wings, battle-scarred paint, spectacular damage, and last-second bailouts immerse you in a new level of realism.

2. Crimson Skies

Nathan Zachary is a suave air pirate -- a little Indiana Jones and a little Don Karnage from Disney's Tailspin. His bravado is Crimson Skies' bravado. Excellent voice acting, a superb soundtrack, brilliant control, marvelous graphics, and the most exhilarating, fulfilling and downright satis-freaking-fying dogfights around delivered a game that proved once and for all that flight combat didn't necessarily have to mean flight simulation. It was done and it was done right. Believe us, if highflying adventure has a name in Webster's, it's definitely Crimson Skies.

3. Pacific Storms

On December 7th 1941, the U.S. Pacific Navy stationed at Pearl Harbor came under attack from Japanese fighter planes. The enemy fighters were destroying the American aircraft on land and in the air with deadly force. The battle of Pearl Harbor became the first of many to be fought over hostile waters. Now you can participate in all the major Pacific battles of the World War II in Pacific Storm – a game that seamlessly incorporates RTS into a major flight simulation title. Fight on either side, controlling US or Japanese forces and change the outcome of each historical battle!

First 1/2 month in business

Good day once again...

Well, looks like today is pretty much the first 1/2 month of THTGadgets.com being in business... Initially, I thought the bulk of my sales will pop out from stuff like the Garmin GPS or even the popular iPods but boy, was i ever so wrong!

Looks like the bulk (you can say, almost 95%!) of sales have come from the humble USB flash drive and external hard drives instead... In a way, I hope that awareness of the brand I'm carrying, the Malaysia-made PenDrive, is on the rise with all these queries and successful purchases of that company's products... I also deal with Western Digital and Kingston products, although those are (somewhat surprisingly) not as popular as PenDrive!

Anyway, I'll keep you posted with deals and pricing for the USB products very soon... Keep in touch with THTGadgets.com!

Basic information on GPS!

Source: Garmin's website (www.garmin.com)

What is GPS?
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military applications, but in the 1980s, the government made the system available for civilian use. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. There are no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS.
How does GPS work?
GPS satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to earth. GPS receivers take this information and use triangulation to calculate the user's exact location. Essentially, the GPS receiver compares the time a signal was transmitted by a satellite with the time it was received. The time difference tells the GPS receiver how far away the satellite is. Now, with distance measurements from a few more satellites, the receiver can determine the user's position and display it on the unit's electronic map.

A GPS receiver must be locked on to the signal of at least three satellites to calculate a 2D position (latitude and longitude) and track movement. With four or more satellites in view, the receiver can determine the user's 3D position (latitude, longitude and altitude). Once the user's position has been determined, the GPS unit can calculate other information, such as speed, bearing, track, trip distance, distance to destination, sunrise and sunset time and more.
How accurate is GPS?
Today's GPS receivers are extremely accurate, thanks to their parallel multi-channel design. Garmin's 12 parallel channel receivers are quick to lock onto satellites when first turned on and they maintain strong locks, even in dense foliage or urban settings with tall buildings. Certain atmospheric factors and other sources of error can affect the accuracy of GPS receivers. Garmin® GPS receivers are accurate to within 15 meters on average.

Newer Garmin GPS receivers with WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) capability can improve accuracy to less than three meters on average. No additional equipment or fees are required to take advantage of WAAS. Users can also get better accuracy with Differential GPS (DGPS), which corrects GPS signals to within an average of three to five meters. The U.S. Coast Guard operates the most common DGPS correction service. This system consists of a network of towers that receive GPS signals and transmit a corrected signal by beacon transmitters. In order to get the corrected signal, users must have a differential beacon receiver and beacon antenna in addition to their GPS.
