teecee Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Nah mate, it's not you..it's the forum itself..boring... particularly if you don't have one of the new, fancy sims.. I am on prepar3d 4.5 and it's no longer worth developing it seems..Takes me about thirty seconds to skim the forum, and usually nothing that interest me so I shut it down.

olderndirt Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 A word from Washington State, currently leader in the US 'Corona Virus' sweepstakes. Not a joke by any means but at my age you know something IS going to get you so the current excitement is a little lower key. Hopefully all our esteemed leaders are on the same page on this since it shows how really ineffective all political posturing is when an event like this occurrs. As we emerge at the other end a new day should be dawning but, as my old Scottish Gran used to say "Ah hae ma doots". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Heaton Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I don't know how I missed this section of the forum but at 85 - I think I qualify and I have been given my Seniors discount card for Orbx Reading back through the threads - I came across a few contributions from "Macca" Just in case some of you old coots missed it - the question was raised and the answer He probably reads this old coots page as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsy Pilot Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 I went to the VA Clinic yesterday and they had a welcoming committee taking temperatures and giving us a quick look see before we were allowed to enter the building. I was told by my Doctor that my neck is beyond repair and sorry but I have no choice but to learn to live with the pain or become a junkie. After reading the previous post I am doing better than a lot of you Old Coots. I just turned 83 and now that I have my blood sugar under control (it was 575) I feel well enough to fly again. Sore finger tips is a small price to pay for wellness. Dropping over 40 lbs off of my belly didn't hurt either. Anyway the Doctor told me to stay home and away from people. My Son took his advice and has me confined to the house by blocking in my car. Y'all stay healthy and enjoy your confinement. Have you tried landing on a mountain top like Trent Palmer and the Cowboys do? It can get your blood pumping. Dale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teecee Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I have not opened my mail in a few days, so I missed these post. Sorry about that and thanks to all for caring. No change much over the past few days, still unable to move about much, and of course with the pandemic Caroline and I are both housebound.. Still, we are both alive and kicking..so I am thankful for that. Again, thanks for your kind thoughts and prayers..Terry.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Tough times indeed. Couple of cancer stricken friends taken off preventative measures so it appears to be age and survivability are two of our most negative assets in the selection process. A month to go 'til 82 and, since I've been socially distancing for about ten years now, think I'll make it. In a few months we can look back on this as yet another chapter in our piece of history.

Gypsy Pilot Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 I was told by my doctor when I turned 80 that those were the two main factors in deciding weather or not I would be treated if I came down with a serious illness.

I have been beta-testing it for the last 2 months. It's really good. However the main problem is the full stop, or period, button. If one were to hit it during flight, the aircraft just halts immediately and falls out of the sky with no way of a restart. At the moment it's not a viable alternative to the established aims but, as I say, it is in beta. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Terry Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I spent a whole morning cleaning out my bookcase of old business files, old tax returns, books about nothing and carted it all to the garage waste bin. I told my wife she had a look and said "I can't see any difference' At least it kept me busy and on my feet. Now to Capetown for a heli ride around the city.
