^^^^ It depends on the view of the role of Global Moderator. Either the maintenance of standards of discipline and facilitating open discussion - or the absolute power to impose ones own personal views as the only right ones. There are both types - but I haven't seen the second type on here - yet

.... and you never will see the second type on here, we do our best to take everything with a sense of humour

I only have to look in the mirror each morning and think how the rest of the human family must suffer!

Me, I'm perfect!

In the words of the song:- "Oh Lord it's hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way"!

Yikes! I've just hijacked my own thread! Wee Wah! Wee Wah!  Peter.

This was shot with a "cheapy" camera, about $10 I seem to remember. The camera was just blue tacked to a flat car and pushed by a loco (yes I kknow its fast). Not brilliant but ok for the purpose.

'A plugin is needed to display this content.'

It doesn't say what plug-in, and it doesn't offer a link to get the plug-in, so I seem to be un-plugged!

Sorry, Pete.
It plays just fine for me using Internet Explorer on Windows 7

Ditto.

Fine with IE but asks for the install with Gargle Chrome

I am using Chrome but cannot view video neither does it ask for codecs etc?

My mind says that a cheap camera to use for your own use and memories is fine but if your reckoning on flaunting the results on U tube etc maybe something better might be an option.
For me its for my own fun....rule1 ish

The video played fine for me and I did not think blue tack was as strong as that, the G forces going round the corners must have put NASA to shame     

I think the quality is fine going along the straights, even for posting to you tube, the corners are a blur and do have the tendency to make you fall off your chair 

For something that was not available a few years ago and now to be able to readily buy it for a few pounds, I think these video cameras are allowing us to shoot video we could only have dreamt of not so long ago

I think the on-board camera is a brilliant idea and looks great fun, esp on the larger layouts.

I concur, though it might show up shoddy workmanship etc ! I fancy getting one and putting
it on the dog's collar to get a dog's view of the world.

Not such a bad idea, although some things ya might not want to see..... 

By the way, Pete33, I'm getting the same message. I'm running Firefox on Vista as well, so it is probably a Vista thing.

Or possibly a Firefox thing, George. And Chrome. I think they share similarities in their core programming, although I may have misremembered that.

It's all computrickery (as NPN would say) to me, Peter!
