Thanks for the Pictures GeofA- Amazing that items so small can effect flight azimuth and altitude trim- but then I think of ice on wing(s) and how small amounts in the right place will completely screw up lift, so not so surprising, I guess.William

Thanks for Input, I am going to try lower settings on the helos included with FSX and Acceleration. I have found them so annoying to fly with full realism settings that I seldom fly them and never fly them more than 20 miles or so.As an aside, the FSD Saratoga addon I purchased a while back flies really nice even with the full realism settings.William

I mostly know what I'm looking for, and keep the sliders on the high end (for winged aircraft). But I do use auto-pilot too. Trying to keep a simulated plane within +/- 100' altitude, using small monitors, is just a nuisance I don't care for. I'd rather look over the side at the scenery! :D L.Adamson

Larry-Get a cheap pair of 3d glasses (about $10) per the thread below and you will have a 3d view on the 2d monitor!http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/1b5baf...b9f427f694g.jpgMy blog:http://geofageofa.spaces.live.com/
