July 7, 20241 yr Author Many thanks gents for your kind comments!! 18 hours ago, SP2472 said: Btw, how is the Radeon card working out, any problem with drivers? I had problems some three years ago, and I was almost giving up on AMD. Then I sent them an e-mail showing them the problem I and some others here on avsim have with their card, when using a flight simulator. A couple of weeks later they issued a new driver and from then on it was smooth sailing. 12 hours ago, P_7878 said: I know the UA 747 is dear to you...🙂. Hahaha, your memory is flawless, P_7878 !
