December 17, 200817 yr This is Windryder - My new nic here on Avsim Forums is : MrZetaI use that on youtube for my music, horse, flightsim, and other misc videos...Just wanted to say hi again to all the regulars and a WELCOME to the new recruits - get ready for long hours !Thanks for info on the Hawker - I tried that model in FS2002, and found it to be slower than the P-51 and P-47; even the P-47 isnt the greatest plane but as for alternate aircraft to fill in, it's kool we have some warbird fliers here.I been tweaking my settings abit to understand aircraft handling in FS9; they seem more realistic than FS2002, but some models are not very good. We can post info on the Freeware thread - I expect to be there alot !So far here is what I am looking at for me (all freeware)P-51HawkerP-47P-38AvantiF4U7 - Just playin around with itDefaults: (Note that these will be a requirement !) Beech 350 Ford Tri Motor - The FS9 version seems to actually work for me !I will keep you all informed as to my progress !BG Keep The Shiny Side Up And The Greasy Side Down ! http://www.freewebs.com/virtualaviator
January 1, 200917 yr Howdi Flight Simmmers...!First Happy Holidays !Second, I am finally getting all my new operating systems setup - will have Vista/FSX to play with later (!), and just got back in on my Xp system that is a fresh install. Eventually I will have a second computer for all my surfing needs, and my gaming computer, the one I am on now will not be a surfer for the most part (!); good-bye to viruses off websites, the way gaming should be !My new system BTW will be 2.6 quad, just a tad faster then Svenks; also has 4 gigs ram, and vid card is PNY9500; with the small amount of players I too could provide a VPN backup, however I would rather not, as it is my only system; but it is an option; my connection is 768K DSL, a slight downgrade but could handle 5+ or so players.Finally, I need private forum and Teamspeak info if someone would PM that info to me; thanks !I will be ready to fly again soon!Just as a sidenote my realname is Blake and will be signing my first and last initials in posts.Glad to be back and see the crew !BG Keep The Shiny Side Up And The Greasy Side Down ! http://www.freewebs.com/virtualaviator
