I've just installed Chrome, The sim site is perfect there as well, no issues at all.

I've been using Edge since day one, even the Canary version. It has better privacy settings & uses less recourses. For me, looks better as well, & uses Chrome extensions.

I often use both the Canary Edge & the normal one at the same time.

Dobie51,

I thought a clever guy like yourself would have worked out that these hippos are under the muddy waters of the African continent. (probaby mating .... horrible thought) and I, personally, thought that Asobo/Microsoft were particularly clever hiding them there so you could not see them.  Bit like watching an aircraft above thick cloud.  Fascinating LOL

Bl......dy H..l I am getting excited though.

Regards to all

Tony

I confess I had an ulterior motive for asking about hippos. As you know, hippos can swim and dive under water for prolonged periods, so if there are hippos, there might be submarines too.

Dobie 51,

The penny drops of course.  Like the hippos under water, I can not really see (pun intended) the point in having submarines underwater, unless of course you are a Poseidon P8 or other Maritime Recon aircraft pilot (sub hunters) and I do not know if MSFS is going to, ever, provide those capabilities.

You have, however, piqued my curiousity with this. What exactly are you looking for?  

Regards

Tony

I believe that P3D is the one for underwater craft training, not a flightsim available on an XBOX...

There are subs in FS2004.. Great fun having races.

I used to enjoy exploring wrecks in a personal minisub in Vehicle Simulator.  Lots of aircraft and ships resting on the bottom.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Larry,

As a young pup (in my late teens) I worked for a company called the "Deep Sea Diving and Salvage Corporation"  owned and operated by a marine scientist Theo Brown (Google him) and used to do shark and sea snake research in the waters off Port Moresby as well as shipwreck locating etc.  So I do have a fair idea of where you are at, although we free dived as opposed to using minisubs etc. 

Incidently, we were working on a sonic approach to repel shark attacks, for use particularly after shipwrecks etc.  We found that a lot of the frequencies and combinations of frequencies actually repelled sharks and some actually attracted them (among other species of fish)  This aspect of attracting fish (which could well be misused by professional Fishermen) resulted in our research having to be put throught the United Nations for ultimate regulation.  This however, occurred long after I left the company and I have no idea what actually happened in that August body.  I never heard anything further about it nor about any successful sonic repellant so there must have been some considerable problems.  My younger brother Robert also worked with Theo after I left Port Moresby to go jackerooing in Tasmania (talk about a sea change LOL) and was featured in several books written by Theo.

All very interesting but completely off topic for which I apologise.

Regards

Tony
