No. I had a mobile until about 10 years ago. First got one in 1987. I had a great rate of about $8 a month. When my provider decided it need to charge $20 I cancelled service as I had only used the phone about 3 times in the previous year. I currently have one of my wife's old smart phones which I use as a camera and Wi-Fi terminal (Navigraph Charts) but am happy not to be tethered to the thing like so many others. My wife has a smart phone so we can use it when travelling. Larry

I should have remembered the paved runway at Courcheval. Slope looks similar though. Larry

I think Courcheval France. Larry

Maybe Auckland -Definitely in New Zealand. Larry

Pacific Coast from Washington up to Alaska. Great scenery and can be challenging with real world weather. Larry

Instant Scenery files were placed using FSX but will work fine in P3Dv4 and 5 as the BGL files work the same. You need to have scenery objects with the same GUID in libraries for both simulators or the objects will not display. Most of the default and Orbx objects are the same in both. Larry

We used it to do True Earth Florida and seemed to work fine. Larry

If it works that's great. It depends what Orbx sceneries you are using. Vector usually causes problems with UTX and Open Land Class does the same as UTX for terrain files. I have had both installed for different areas but got duplicate roads when they were in the same place. If you have problems you can always move the files up or down and see what happens. Larry

Because they both do the same thing, I would have one or the other but not both. You could try UTX below Orbx but may still get some conflicts. Larry

Have to agree with Ken. The Mooney is great. I have one with ferry tanks so can do longer flights. As for B, too bad you said nonstop or I would have gone with the Mooney too. If nonstop I would have to go with the Concorde. Larry

Grant McConachie: Built a small bush pilot operation in the Yukon into a major international airline. Larry

I've always had trouble with turbo-props. Seem overly complicated compared to straight jets. I've flown the Cessna Caravan some but have avoided King Airs for this reason. Don't have too much trouble with 737's which are the most common larger planes I fly. Larry

Always fun to read and I comment when I have something to say. Often makes me think about what is important in life. Larry

Very difficult. I fly the Mooney Bravo a lot as it is good for sight-seeing but if I could only have one it would have to be a 737 - currently I fly the I-Fly version but have also used PMDG's previously. Larry

Occasionally comment but often have nothing to add. Larry

I don't even have a mobile phone. Had one for years (since 1987) but hardly used it so cancelled. This is as close as I get to social media - seems like a big time waster. I do use Wikipedia and Google Maps a lot. Larry

I mostly use P3Dv4. My computer probably can't handle anything newer and it runs much better than FSX. Have considered newer versions or MSFS but haven't got there yet. If it ain't broke . . . Larry

We have purchased a couple of cat beds over the years but a couple of 9 by 13 inch envelope boxes on a table by the window are still their favorite sleeping spots. Larry

Hi Ken: We have two operating steam locomotives and actually operate them double headed during Railway Days in the summer. As operator agents we also hoop orders up to the trains when we are in the stations. Fortunately we have a couple of members of the telegraph club who worked for the local telephone company at one time so they keep the equipment operating. A lot of obscure technical details that we need to know to make it operate between stations. Larry

I also spend a couple of days a week during the summer at Calgary's Heritage Park doing telegraphy. We have a circuit set up between 2 stations with a third available if we get enough people. Just learned the telegraph in the last 2 years but most of us are able to send and receive messages now. We also have one member and a couple of other mentors who worked on the railways as telegraph operators. We are in costume and explain the importance of the "Victorian Internet". Larry

Model trains as well. A large layout that covers most of the basement. I get inspiration a couple of times a year and will work on it for a few weeks but eventually end up back upstairs flying. Probably spend most of the time rearranging track; Maybe I will get some scenery done one day. Larry

Aircraft park directly in line with the apron link from the last taxi point to the parking spot. You can adjust the apron links in ADE to get the aircraft to park the way you want. Larry

High River Alberta. A number of years ago we bought a scenic flight around Calgary at a silent auction. After taking off from Springbank Airport we did touch and goes at Okotoks and High River. We did the touch and go on the North-South gravel runway at High River and it very interesting when the pilot realized how short it was. He turned the controls over to me and I flew most of the way back to Calgary International where he landed the plane. When developing the Global Freeware Airports, I asked the developer Vlad Maly for permission to use his models for this and his other 2 Calgary area airports (Claresholm and Airdrie). He had no problem and we often talked by e-mail about airport design. I always think of him when flying over these airports and occasionally recreate the flight of many years ago. Larry

I like Brussels Sprouts too but I don't think I ever saw them until I was about 16. My Mother was of Scottish descent and we always had turnips which I can eat in small quantities but I hated them for years. Larry

I remember most of this. I still have a stereo with a record player and an 8 track tape. Our car does have a stick shift and I remember when nearly everyone at school carried a pocket knife. We used them mostly to play mumbly peg. Larry
