Jack Sawyer Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Thanks to @renault for telling me how to get to this beautiful place. I loved it but XP crashed! I have the latest X-Plane, all Orbx TE stuff, UWXP, xVision, and ASXP. Look at the last couple of shots, the sky suddenly turned black. Then XP froze so I had to force close it but no Event Viewer entry. Such is life I guess, this sim has been very unstable and unpredictable for me. For example, I haven't used it for a week or so, so today I run it and I have to enter my X-Aviation TBM email and password to "update" my license. What is this nonsense? Thank goodness Orbx is so well designed and behind the scenes, it would be good if other vendors emulated Orbx, just my opinion. What?!? HUH!?!

VH-KDK Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 This appears to be a beautiful place to fly Jack looking at the views you have put up here. Yes the sim is forever frustrating. I had a very rare crash on P3D yesterday when replaying a landing at Walter Suttons. Very unusual these days and I wasn't too worried when the screen froze, but then the desktop appeared and that was that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Look in your Log.txt file (at the bottom) - a bit more than halfway down the list of files in your XP11 root folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca22au Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 The trouble, even with the nicest of Americans like you, is that you are unaware of the home region of the best whiskies known to man. Also you must fail to know the historical details of the MacDonald, Lord of the Isles and their just wars against the British and the Campbells. To have to learn from someone with a French handle about the Road to the Isles is a worry. But great shots for which I am grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read it many years ago, it might be time for a re-read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca22au Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Jack the history of Scotland is a story of tribal warfare and sustained hatreds, lightened only by conflict with the Brits and the foolish Jacobite rebellion, though the Highland clearances were great for the southern colonies of the US where so many industrious Scots settled. They also imported the fiery cross a traditional method of calling a clan together for battle which now has its continuation in the KKK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
