A mere child.

IN SPITE OF, OR BECAUSE OF MYSELF I have gone to MSFS. NEARLY 82 AND THE BEGINNINGS OF THE SHAKES, IT HAS SUDDENLY BECOME EASIER to use the simpler version. I admit as an old professional Geographer I love the photogrammetry, old and coarse that it is in MSFS. But remember Glencoe, never trust a Campbell or a man with his hair parted in the middle.

All complaints change; someone tells us how to fix it, or it fixes itself. I am a happy little Vegimite, Orbx Central cured itself, and all scenery is happily reloaded in v5. However I am hesitant to go the MSFS way until Orbx redoes the Gold Coast.

Hi John, I am on a powered wheelchair now, but still getting around. I have had my computer done up, and it is a total flop. Foolishly uninstalled 4.5 in the hope that v5 would be better, but no joy. I suspect it is worse. Didn't know the Library had reopened, even limited, things are looking up.

Dexthorn: all our political leaders in Aus are in favor of a tough approach so your list is my .list. big-time.

I have found LMv5 a pain in the arse. Can't install Orbx. I'm in a race to still be here when Microsoft comes out.

I am happy and I look forward to release. I agree, facsimiles are the only possibility given the rapidly changing world of airports and landscapes.

Fizzelle: to be deservedly corrected by a Yorkshireman is a saddening experience. However, as it is now an ambiguous statement, and I think I will leave the reader to insert or not a comma. It means I can't be wrong.

Doc Z: I am a full-bodied Scots descendant on both sides....but by the 18th Century Mc and Mac became interchangeable, though mac meaning 'get of" with the word get having a special meaning in this context. We are McPhails or MacP, McVailes, McVaille, McFail, McPhain, septs of Cameron of Lochiel, as a result of the vagaries of spelling, indenture forms (that was a tough way to come, Rodger), clerks, and a general British disdain for anything Scots. No Mc is acceptable in Scotland as well, the change from a non-literate Gaelic speaking community to one of the best educated in Europe because of the Presbyterian concern for personal interpretation of the scriptures led to these variants becoming common-place.

Doc_Z I can fully understand the father's problems. The Duke of Argyll, chief of the Campbells fought on the side of the English. He was wise and did well, but of course McDonald, Lord of the Isles on the other side lost everything except continuous dislike of the Campbells. My mother was a McDonald, and my grandfather remained a gimlet eyed hater of the Campbells...never walk in front of a Campbell we were told X generations later.

Thanks Triplane, I was going to post a correction to my poor Scots. Yes clishmaclaver, a hullabaloo ending with no-one remembering what set it off.... Just a 'wee' typo...Triplane are you recently from Scotland or did you grow up in one of the areas of the US heavily settled by the Scots after Culloden and the Highland Clearances?

For what it is worth I still don't know what started this, but what a satisfying mishmaclaver.

Oh dear, and some of my best friends are POMS, and I also like a couple of Campbells.

Nick: your political antenae must be sensitive, I've hunted for such an implication. The only one I happened to note is "Oh and as I've said before, the English are best too." That is not political, just stupidly wrong.(LOL)

Worry not, Dale and Roger. There are no pockets in shrouds. Hence while I can sim I will keep spending money on go-fast bits, and unnecessary gadgets like my new Samsung S10+
