[Hercules - MSFS2020]

Could not find it on the Captain Sim website and searched online as well. Derek.

[Hercules - MSFS2020]

Thanks for that bernd1151, so Captain Sim Herc it is and great shots Richard. Thanks Derek.

[Hercules - MSFS2020]

I take it that it is MSFS so who’s Herc is that please. As it does look good. Thank you Derek.

Hi renault. Great find and glad it has been pinned. Thanks Derek.

[GB South - Needles and lighthouse missing?]

Hi. Think this was brought up a while ago about the Needles being missing. Not on my computer at the moment so can not check to see if it’s a sorted or not. Thanks Derek.

[Explore the National Parks: Introducing Bryce Canyon for MSFS!]

Orbx builds them and I buy them. Fantastic. Derek.

[Microsoft related MSFS questions - ask here]

Hi Richard thanks for that, yea I have Virgin broadband so no trouble there. That only thing I’m having trouble with at the moment is setting up my X56 but I suppose I will get there eventually. Thanks Derek. 

[Microsoft related MSFS questions - ask here]

Hi Guys. Can someone tell me the advantages and disadvantages of streaming the scenery to your sim and what’s the other, cacheing the scenery. Not got there yet as my son beat me this morning, but nearly there 88gig at the moment. Ment to say especially  with the two of us online. Thanks Derek.

[Microsoft related MSFS questions - ask here]

Just found out that for the UK it will be midnight tonight but if you have bought it on Steam then that’s 04-00 tomorrow morning. Derek

Anybody know when MSFS 2020 will actually release here in the UK, as have looked at the timer but that’s Eastern Standard time. Plus have looked online but some seem different. Thanks Derek.

[MSFS and your C drive Tip]

Hi John sorry for not replying to you earlier. One thing how big will the app be, small I guess and seeing as I already have a Windows app on the drive where I hope to install MSFS, will be ok to put it in that app folder or ok to leave it out of the folder so there will be two Windows apps folders. Thanks Derek.

[MSFS and your C drive Tip]

Okay thanks Nick but I thought John was saying that you could not have the App folder on the same drive as the Fltsim drive. Derek.

[MSFS and your C drive Tip]

Right I’m confused here. So just checked my drives and there’s no Windows Apps on my C drive but there are Windows apps folder on my D drive and my G drive and that’s the place I was going to install MSFS the G drive that is as it is an Ssd with 201 gigabyte free. Are you saying I will have to move Windows App folder off that drive. Think this because I probably use them for Steam games. Thanks Derek.

[Advice on RAM please]

Hi wolfko. I don’t think there’s any difference between 4 sticks of ram or two sticks of ram, that is if you buy them from the same supplier. They are both 32 gig of ram. But one thing is I have heard especially using just the two sticks it’s easier to fit the cooler to your Cpu as some coolers fit real low on the M/Board . I take it your thinking about the new sim as I have been. At the moment I’m just hoping my system will be able to cope, maybe not at full resolution but to be ok until I have the chance to update my computer. Thanks Derek.

[TrueEarth Southern California for XP11 on finals!]

This is looking absolutely fantastic. Definite buy for me. Come on Orbx cover the world. Derek.

[The Old Coots Club]

Hi. You lot are the best there is . Had a good laugh this morning reading the comments posted here. Stay safe everyone. Derek.

[Welcome to the Conch Republic - Announcing Key West Airport XP11]

Looking good and I must say that we didn’t see that coming. I thought that after Northern California the next one would be Southern California. Well done Orbx. Derek.

[The Old Coots Club]

You guys crack me up. Derek.

[The Old Coots Club]

What holidays, we are permanently on holiday according to our kids. Plus our Granny Smith apple tree has got a disease or something so no more apple pie or crumble as it will probably have to come down. Plus we have some decking in our garden with a bit of decorative Grey stones  and our little grandson who’s four fell over on it as he runs every where like a four year old does. So that has to go and we started this morning to remove it but after an hour or so we were knackered. So stopped that, probably carry on tomorrow as it will have to go, and it’s only five months till Christmas. Bah humbug  . Derek.

[Maintenance for XPlane 11 when things go sideways]

Thanks Nick.

[Maintenance for XPlane 11 when things go sideways]

Can some one make this a sticky or what ever you call it or can I book mark it some how. Derek.

[P3D long loading times and "Acronis Active Protection"]

Hi John do you have your sim on a Ssd or an ordinary hard drive. Mine is on an ordinary hard drive and before the update it took about 10 mins, but now after the update it now takes 15 minutes. Would I benefit in using simstarter. Derek.

[Getting Rid of the Rain ....]

Hi renault, really nice looking shots and so sharp, as for the weather well I think I’m going to have to try that out. Brilliant. Derek.

[ESSV Triple Pack Coming Soon to FSX/P3D]

Darn, so many airports to buy now and just when our 55” tv has packed up, great pictures but no sound. Life is some times a bummer. Derek.

[Freeware airport requests]

Not sure if I’ve already requested this but so this is my request seeing as it’s my local Aerodrome. Lee on the Solent as it was in the 70’s and 80’s. But sadly soon to be closed as an airport forever if it hasn’t already. The gliding club has gone as is the small flying club. Derek.
