  1. I don't want to sound like I'm piddling in your pockets - you blokes - but how's about - "The Neil Hill Memorial Lounge" - as an answer??. 👍
  2. We have thought for a while that Orbx have been playing around in DCS - this proves it - and could be very logical with Orbx's experience in scenery production. However - Orbx marketing department have not won any marks from this announcement - judging by the remarks on the subject below the video -or lack of substance When will they learn that we don't like teasers - esp 16 second ones
  3. "sports, work, military, hobbies, and so forth Phew! - what a choice - bin thur- dunn that ! - so many memories and difficult choice - 18 years from apprentice to manager at my Alma Mata employer for 18 years - 2 years national service with a most diverse bunch of blokes in Cyprus - however as an apprentice - I went 1 day a week to my local tech. who were forming a new Rugby Union Team and my tenure with that team lasted until I cracked my ankle at 34 - and took up sailing racing dinghies. We took that club from a small college team to a full blown club in the North of England - with our own 3 pitch grounds and a modern clubhouse and training facilities. I think I am the last surviving original member - and feel sad when I look at the old photos - and know all my mates are dead.
  4. "Maybe you should have looked a little further" - consider your self - "Chastised" chastised In English, many past and present participles of verbs can be used as adjectives. Some of these examples may show the adjective use. In both cases, modernist music is chastised for the bias of its critical representations. From the Cambridge English Corpus Her "vanity" in wanting independence is chastised through a marriage based on her dependency. From the Cambridge English Corpus The father was chastised by the court for taking his daughter as a 'commodity to be owned' rather than as a person and as an individual. From the Cambridge English Corpus Other demographic considerations aside, we felt ourselves minorities, I deliberately misspelt the word - and wha"da know - spell check corrected it
  5. Born and bred in the North of England - the County Palatine of Lancashire - and still retain the accent of my birth - despite living in Australia for the past 54 years but Aussies have no problems with it. Just for a larf - recently - on the other main forum - I was chastised by an American bloke -for miss use of English grammar when I write in that forum
  6. Boetie - or Boatie - whatever - have a Happy one mate - the weather 's not too bad for a sail up the Tweed
  7. I hope you all have the updated Milford sound before you try Graeme's video
  8. I suppose if I was to stock take my Hangars - I would find 90% pay ware inc. default -and a few vintage FW aircraft but when it comes to using them - I only use pay ware - and only about 25% of what I have bought over the years of MSFS. When I use P3D or XP11 - which is very rare - I only use pay ware- because that's the reason I would use those sims i.e. aircraft I can't get in MSFS. but would repurchase them if someone would offer them for sale e.g mainly Piper singles and twins and an F50 Dassault.
  9. Whoops - got the wrong spot in cfg. - above was VR
  10. How strange - when I got round to opening the cfg file - the recommended deletions were already at 0
  11. There are many times I miss Renault on here with his tips on picture quality - combining colour with clarity. As a colourblind person - what I see in colour is probably different to most of you especially with the Ground browns and green of the scenery as we fly in VFR - but it tends to blur the quality of the textures and makes me play around with all the tweaks available to us with the PC / Video cards - especially - SHARPENING - tone - B+C etc - to the point of frustration. Today I came across this bloke - https://youtu.be/_GnbudEoqpM - who I have been following- to try to improve what I see on my screen - and this is what he came up with today - Eyes or Camera ?? - and I cannot ignore the logic of what he says. I.E. - The only tweaking one can do with the focus of one's eyes - is to wear glasses - with photography/camera manipulation - we call it sharpening.
  12. John - for once I have "No Comment" - I'm laffin 2much to type👌
  13. With deference to Rodger's preliminary statement - after I do my usual mis-controlled crash landing - I usually console myself with --- TGIOS---- When I flew all those years ago - in real life - landing was always my dreaded moment - until I cleared the dotted report line - that's when my Sphincter Muscles returned to normal.🤞
