Well said Joe. Exactly what's needed.

I use the support forums when I feel I have something to contribute. If I can't help I don't post. But don't just look at me. Look at all the other knowledge and experience that is lost. I've been simming since FS2 and if it weren't for the support of my fellow simmers I would have given up long ago. Relying on the developer to solve all your problems just won't work. IMNSHO..........Doug

But they will soon become outdated Nick. I understand the "reasoning" behind the change but I still think it's a really bad decision. Just a thought from someone who's been here from the beginning. I think this a great disservice to the many thousands of simmers who may benefit from those of us who have been around for a while. But time moves on. And so do I.........Doug

So why are they called "support" forums? There are other places to preview products and talk about all things flight sim. I agree with Brad. I've been around here longer than most and if this is what the support forums have become I'll seldom come back. IMNSHO it's a really bad move.......Doug

I don't get it. Why have the forums at all? What relevance do they have now? I guess I'm just getting old..........

This just made my day. Thanks so much for sharing it.....Doug

And my wife tells me since that guy's there alone there's a happy woman somewhere too.

Monterey - KMRY. Not only is it just a little bit north of one of the most scenic coastlines in the world, it's where I did my first flight and a PPL back in 1959.

Slow pitch softball. The Over-The-Hill-Gang (I loved that team). We beat guys half our age. Favorite brand of beer? Anything that's cold with a removeable top.

There were these two elderly people living in a Florida mobile home park. He was a widower and she a widow. They had known each other for a number of years. Now, one evening there was a community supper in the big activity center. These two were at the same table, across from one another. As the meal went on, he made a few admiring glances at her and finally gathered up his courage to ask her, "Will you marry me?" After a dramatic pause and precisely six seconds of 'careful consideration,' she answered. "Yes. Yes, I will." The meal ended and with a few more pleasant exchanges and they went to their respective places. Next morning, he was troubled. "Did she say 'yes' or did she say 'no'?" He couldn't remember. Try as he would, he just could not recall. Not even a faint memory. With trepidation, he went to the telephone and called her. First, he explained to her that he didn't remember as well as he used to. Then he reviewed the lovely evening past. As he gained a little more courage, he then inquired of her, "When I asked if you would marry me, did you say 'Yes' or did you say 'No'?" He was delighted to hear her say, "Why, I said, 'Yes, yes I will' and I meant it with all my heart." Then she continued, "And I am so glad that you called, because I couldn't remember who had asked me."

My old 442.19's are working just fine. But all mileage is variable and besides which, who really cares........ The Other Doug

If you don't have any problems with the drivers you have now I wouldn't change them. In all my years of simming I have NEVER seen a driver update that gave any significant increase in FPS for any flightsim program. All mileage is, of course, variable. But my rule of thumb has always been... if it ain't broke, don't fix it. - Doug

You can uninstall them from the old computer and reinstall them on the new one. No re-purchase is necessary.

You can read the entire EULA here: https://orbxdirect.com/eula . But, that said, we probably need to wait for a staff member to comment......Doug

I'm not trying to define anybody John. And I'm going to leave this for now because if I post the way I really feel it would just get the thread locked. Peace.....Doug

Just goes to show that most folks are gamers, not simmers. Ask how many of the MSFS crowd can fly a VOR or RNAV approach. Enough said.

Hottest-- With Donna Jean Coldest-- With Patti Ann Wettest-- With Annette Louise Highest (and most tiring)-- With Dale What's His Name

And the original is still around...

And rings are what you see in a circus tent.........

1952 Mickey Mantle baseball cards. I had a stack of those once and have no idea what happened to them. But If I still had just a few of those now very rare cards I'd be flying my own King Air.

Got it. I've done three flights around the world but never with real weather. You've just given me a challenge for number four. I'm going to do that one in a C182. I hope.....

Why not just change the season and keep going?
