Mea culpa Robert and the rest of you guys.There was I grumbling to myself under my breath thinking that my "Queen" was becoming more crotchety every day. Your fault, I thought.Nonsense. It was the proliferation of my add-ons. As simple as that.I uninstalled FSX then installed it again(with the patch)and Q.E.D.It's now as smooth as silk and a faultless pleasure to fly.With my regards..............Cliff
