May 23, 20179 yr But isn't it more realistic that you would have to fly with the weather you get and therefore be more aware at flight planning time what type of weather you might get into? If you just need a flight there are always the themes and Im sure eventually more and better available options. | Dave | I've been around for most of my life.

That might be one person's preference, yes. However, I do almost all my flying in the FSEconomy game. The idea is to complete each flight assignment from takeoff to landing, or else I've wasted those hours. I also like flying with real weather injection, up to a point. But if the winds and visibility aren't cooperating enough to make the landing in the light GA and helicopters I like to fly, I'll go into the weather panel and tweak it, without feeling too guilty about it. Adjusting weather and time of day mid-flight is also nice for making creative screen shots. Anyway, it's probably safe to assume that things like real weather injection and manual control of the weather mid-flight are in the pipeline.

May 23, 20179 yr Hi Dave, 1 hour ago, sightseer said: Bert - not sure why no one has answered you yet but... after typing in your departure airport just left click and hold on the map to move it around and use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom out. Find your destination and left click and then right click. You can just right click on the chosen departure if you want and click OK on the 'you must land at an airport' message. It still gives me credit so long as I land where I tell it Im landing. Im not crazy about not getting credit for landing elsewhere but it is what it is and I also tend to think its good to not be able to change aircraft or weather in mid flight. One can also just cancel the flight and start over. I could be wrong but I think Bert's "cringe" was in regards to the "game-iness" the credit/point system infers... Regards, Scott

That is until developers produce more complex scenery of course and everyone ends up complaining that 64bit is not enough and demands 128bit! Actually, it mean only hardware induced OOMs are possible. What can happen is that all your RAM gets used up, and the program starts using swap space. At that point, your sim is becomes a stutterfest, but no OOMs. But wait, what if you then run out of swap space...but by that time, you've had enough with the stutter fest, have shut down the sim, and ordered another 32 GB of RAM (provided you have the slots available). Theoretically, a 64 bit program can address 9223372036854GB of RAM (vs 4GB with 32 bits).

May 23, 20179 yr Personally, I'm hugely fed up and disappointed that DTG didn't decide to make Flight Sim World 65 Bit. That would have made it one better than X-Plane, AeroFly 2 and P3D and it would have only been a tiny Bit harder to accomplish. Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

Same here i was waiting for a 65 bit myself 😃😀 after what i had seen yestaerday and today from P3D v4 videos im still waiting for someone to do the 65 or 72 bit conversion 😂.... good old fun ...

May 24, 20179 yr Would you pay for those upgrades? In the US a 25 cent coin is also referred to as "two bits". Yeah, yeah, I know that it means something else in GB.
