Nearly full squadron at Frankfurt. (A few others joined in and out.)http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/143304.jpgThis was a great week for all of us. One of the really wonderful things was getting so many new (and talented) people involved this year. The planning and flying are really terrific. But getting so deeply involved with such a great bunch of fellows make this specialAs Chris says, the best thing in flight simulation.Mike

Sometimes, we get a little surprise whilst traveling abroad.

Mike,Now that the race has ended, it's only an academic question: how did you get that small Duenna window in FS2004? Just curious.Jozef K. http://homepages.onsnet.nu/~jkusters/signature.jpg

I know lots of people like this bird, and I understand its performance is excellent. But it just doesn't look "right" to me. Too plump. But I'm sure it's a nice plane.Thomas[a href=http://www.flyingscool.com/FC_StartJava.html] http://www.flyingscool.com/images/Signature.jpg [/a]I like using VC's :-)

I was wondering about that myself actualy...

Hi Jozef (and Vince),When you have the Duenna running, click on the "Settings" button. You then have a couple of boxes you can check. "Keep main window on top""Reduce window when not focussed"If you are in windows mode and click these two boxes, you'll get the Duenna on the top (so you can see it) and in a reduced size when you don't have your mouse over it. I've also resized the window to make it even smaller. (If you are flying full screen, this system may not work.)Hope this helps.Great to have you in the race!Best,Mike
