Very good! You have to add "What is the best AI traffic add-on?" This gets asked on every FS forum at least twice a week.It makes me insane when someone posts this question and there's another one just two threads down.Jim

Very good. Best post I have read in a long time :( keith

Great stuff, now you know everyone in here thinks of #7 all the time :(

LMAO, toooo funny, especially number 4! :( :( :(

Best, Michael

I reckon Number 7 (could I land a real 747 etc....) deserves to be number 1. I'm waiting for the day a moderator just replies 'no you couldn't. Thread locked' LOL.Al

12. How can I load and edit a .mdl file in GMax (or Max or FSDS).13. Can I edit a gauge file (.gau)?Someone else can think up a humorous answer to the above. I seem to have misplaced my humor somewhere about ten projects ago... :(
