Just catching up after being in hospital and rehab. for a bit and wanted to say that flying the Link Trainer was the norm for awhile after WWII and as a Naval Cadet pursuing my Wings of Gold I sat it the spinning tilting blue box a few hours. I prefered the actual aircraft personally.

Being an informal old Coot, says I: Hell Ya!!!!

Hospital visiting hours are from 1700 - 1930

Probably a joystick junkie!

'Hand Over' true but they are 'built' at Paine Field in Everett, WA

One bad thing about putting on the years is that those around you age as well. My best and only friend for 15 years Simon my dog is nearing the end of life and I'll certainly miss his companionship, trust and affection after all these years.

I'll second the thanks to JV and ORBX for the new Old Farts forum.

Not bothered by SWMBO but health issues are sure cutting into my simtime lately. Went to the ER in Jan with a belly ache and suddenly I'm enmeshed in medical appointments. For Feb. and Mar. I have 32 different appointments to attend to. "Gettin' old ain't fer sissies!"

Only 78 til Oct. but ATM I am falling apart but the good Lord willing and the 'crick' don't rise I'll muddle through.

UT68 looks fine in my FSX. Screenshot attached.

Sounds good to me Neil. The two RTMM has done have water starting location already.

FWIW Taku Lodge is already done in the RTMM Scenery and prior to releasing Taku Lodge in real life was contacted to seek approval and RTMM was threatened with a law suit if it was released. After a long drawn out series of e-mails they finally realized this was for a freeware computer simulation and not for commercial use. Although the Global Airports are freeware they are connected to a commercial enterprise (ORBX). It may be prudent to check with Taku Lodge prior to doing the scenery. (PS: IRL there is no land airport at the location only float plane operations) RTMM also has done Juneau 5Z1 already. Although it is just a water runway the scenery is at PAKT so if you use ORBX PAKT that scenery will apply.

Pat, The download via FTX Central v2 also includes the full PDF list of all airport in the NA Pack. The new airports are listed in BOLD to distinguish them. I could not find any PDF link Central either but after posting the problem here the solution is to Click SETTINGS / TROUBLE SHOOTING / RESYNC ORBX PRODUCTS. The PDF link should then appear to the right of "North American Freeware Pack".

Nick, I have to disagree with you on the 'spoiler' function allowing as much info as you want. I checked and it will generate the error message if you exceed two lines when I tried do so by simply adding lines titled "three" and "four" to text already in the 'spoiler'.
