Hope springs eternal that A2A will reprise theirs again.

Something that needs to be clarified… in a Qwoensland accent it’s not Mackay. It’s M’corwe.

Imperial measurements clearly explained, Jason… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GDUt-Kbxqsg

Mountains, in passing... They're a bit more daunting when FL3NN isn't an option...

Pleased to hear it. The first time that happened to me I was worried... the second and third: ‘oh yeah... don’t forget..’

Hi Stew Take a look at this thread: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/491556-installing-tongass-fjords-x-prepar3d-v3-v4/ Hopefully that helps. Mike

Not much different to the dolphins in NT or North Queensland. Further south, in my neck of the woods, it’s either a dolphin or erm... white pointer.

Very pleased to read this. As with others, I’m sticking with P3D until the first of three or four plane makers make the leap. So they will be first day buys.

And how this hobby has been for years... the base sim is just that - a base for others to build on. It appears that the sim developers are more than happy to continue this arrangement is what seems to be a pretty constructive manner, base on the number of third party devs (including the usual suspects) already on board. I was gunna wait to pick up the base sim, with plenty still to do in V4. Kinda thinking I won't now... Mike

Wasn’t the original (way back in the midst of time) plan to have Russia as a stand alone anyway? I’d be inclined to carve China and Japan off, along with SE Asia and Indonesia/PNG/Borneo, have Western Asia/India/Middle East/Persia as one, and Russia still stand alone.

89 is a bit short of 2,000... Not that forum polls tend to influence much in any case. I would be a day one buyer though.

Red Baron was spectacular. Aces of the Pacific was probably technically better, but didn't feel quite the same. Sorry Iain. Your thread has rather been hijacked by a bunch of reminiscing.

Solo Flight is the one, I think. Great VOR practice. I remember getting well lost in IMC more than once, with fuel running down, desperately trying to find any airport...

I was trying to remember what my first FSX machine was last week, for some reason. I think it ran at a whole 1.8GHz on XP, which was pretty quick at the time (but not really quick enough). I didn't discover add ons until the next machine, running 32b Vista at 2.4GHz. No idea what the graphics card is. Like you, it has remained my 'other' machine since being demoted. It's ~12 years old now. Still, 'my' first FS machine was a Commodore 64. For those too young to know, that had 64k (yes, sixty four kilobytes) of RAM. I think the 5 1/2in floppies held 640kb. Some started with a Vic 20, which I think had 4k, or a lofty C16. Seconds per frame was the order of the day. But there was some good stuff on a C64 - anything by Microprose/Sid Meier. Software was horrendously expensive where I grew up. P3D Pro, inflation and capability adjusted, is a steal by comparison.
