    This Week's Meaningless Topic (#189)(April 17)

    my only 'team' was probably when I was in the Army....I had a very traumatic experience at 14 and fell out with everyone, became a pain in everyone's backside, I found the military, only did nearly 7 years but they were the best ever...met some really fantastic people, loved the life and really felt wanted and part of a team, met the wife to...when I left I felt really guilty, I now see a few about the City and one in particular that lives a few hours away, we meet occasionally, but I found it difficult to mix in civvy street, still much the same now.....I'm envious of all you with longtime relationships, I wonder if it's because I have no siblings....

    English is such a strange and inconsistent language...

    I think the problem we have is for such a small group of Countries we have so many different accents and lots of local words and sayings, also I find some English people when abroad are very lazy, they start to get louder thinking they will be understood, I find that very rude.....when I lived in Berlin in the 80's I got by with very basic German, but the locals appreciated my trying's and usual failings and usually were very helpful...

     

    I have a relation who's from Newcastle and if she starts talking with her sister or family I struggle, we visit family in Cork area and I'm okay but the wife is completely lost...so it's not just visitors to the UK...

     

    do you have regional accents down under?  I know you have some varied one's in the US, also in parts of EU like Spain, France & Germany do they have local words not used in other parts of the country?....

     

    I think anyone learning English has done well when you consider things like - weather - whether - there - their- .....mind you I could never understand which of these to use - Der , Die or Das....

    some good stuff there even though some I have not heard off.... saw a band recently, they were local not anything big but the all played and instrument, it's so good to see that as opposed to a group or individual singing to a backing track, a bit like

    PG woes.....

    in Microsoft Flight Simulator

    Posted

    I had a nice flight today, just a short hop from Brussels into Heathrow, anyway all was going well until I flew fairly close to central London, meted buildings everywhere I looked...

     

    now just a couple of questions as I couldn't find the answers....

     

    do Orbx City packs or Landmarks have a requirement for PG to be on? do these packs that I have just add things like POI's and therefore PG off would be fine?

     

    do airports that are done by Orbx or their 3rd parties on Orbx direct have a PG requirement? I did look at a few but couldn't see an answer. 

     

    if PG is needed for any of the both what am I likely to see if PG is off?

     

    my flight was really good, dull and rainy at EBBR, cloudy across Europe but then blue skies as I hit the English coast, but then all meltville and the immersion was gone.... I didn't want to turn PG off in flight in case the sim then crashed....
