Makes sense, Simmer. And my comment wasn't meant to be offensive. Just a reminder, one which Jamaljé voiced way better than I ever could. Please keep on completing that list.

not forgetting of course the good folks in AVSIM who made this sharing of knowledge, forum and database available in the first place.

Now thats the spirit, Free F35, gona check that out.

If it used to be on sale , cant be that bad.

It's great, actually. Easy on frames, and it has a good handling. The displays are well done and I think that the STOVL capabilities of that plane are excellently modelled. I just didn't have the time and the nerves to completely learn how to control the F35 at low speeds for carrier ops.

The only thing that makes me a bit unhappy is that it was re-released as freeware that shortly after its initial payware release, but on the other hand, I supported another great developer!

Sorry my explanation too brief.

 

Basicly you need 2 things autohotkey and a script developed by avsim member

check this thread on avsim for explanation script download etc.

 

http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/68280-fullscreen-script-for-fsx-with-no-borders/page__st__15

 

this is link to the script

http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/68280-fullscreen-script-for-fsx-with-no-borders/page__st__15

 

install autohotkey, it creates default script, open defult scrpt cut paste the fullscreen script.

 

Read the links above for more details.

 

This works best when you add the icon to task bar, makeyour task bar autohide

I personally would like to thank all the livery repainters. They bring back nostalgia, make the world closer to what we want it to be, make it closer to reailty....whatever we want. THere are sooooo many airlines in my world that use the NGX.

Piriform for CCleaner(free) & Macecraft for JV16(payware).

Arnie....if it ain't broke, don't fix it...

SunSkyJet (Shez & Ian) for their awesome KPHL scenery, and all aircraft repainters for their amazing contributions to the community.
