Watching the news today, the LSM (lame stream media), still is running with the Military Green Light lasers since retail mainly sells Red ones not green.Come on folks, these are kids with Christmas Presents trying out their new toys, IMHO.If you have ever attended an Astronomy Outing, all I see is Green Lasers up in the sky.And none of them are Military, all retail bought through telescope stores.Now, what do you think these kids might have received with their new telescopes, a spotting laser perhaps. I think so.They work great, and make it easy to tell people where a scope is aimed without looking into the scope itself.Dumb Media.... And dumb Parents or kids for aiming these things at aircraft.Regards,Joe****************Grab My FREEWARE Cessna 172 Voice recognition Profile here:[a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004misc&DLID=58334]Cessna 172 Voice Profile[/a].You will need the main FREEWARE Flight Assistant program to use it, get it here:[a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=genutils&DLID=39661]Flight Assistant 2.2[/a]

>Gosh, Boeing releases a new blue colour scheme with the 7E7>announcement and a few months later Airbus announces a new>blue colour scheme with the announcement of the 7E7>competitor.>>Not very original but understandable.As if they were designed to compete with each other with these two Aircraft.7e7 3,8, & 9 Series about 289, 217, 257, people...A380 555 People...Ummmm, Not very comparable to me. I disagree with your analogy.And I don't think Blue is only allowed on certain aircraft... And Airbus has been using Blue for years....Maybe the A380 really Competes with the 777, which seats up to 550. But hey, that's only 5 seats less than the A380.

Hi,My Brother In Law got a black and decker laser level for Christmas, we ran outside but it does not work very well in the sky.I do have one I use for Astronomy, but where I live, I don't get a whole lot of Air Traffic, so it's not a problem. Plus I mostly use it in the desert on Campouts when I bring the scope.As far as people tracking one, the Astronomy Lasers would work very well, but I think this is just people checking out their Christmas gifts. Especially if it was done on approaches where people could easily see them.Although they said it was Green Lights, whereas most retail ones are red, but some are green as well, so if you here on the news that ONLY The Military uses green, you will know they are full of beans, and simply Ignorant of the facts. Many are green.I hope they catch them though, but I think all that is needed is an education awareness by the Manufacturers that sell these things.Mine came with a nice little disclaimer.Here it is:http://www.telescope.com/shopping/product/...1&keyword=laserRegards,Joe :-outta****************Grab My FREEWARE Cessna 172 Voice recognition Profile here:[a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004misc&DLID=58334]Cessna 172 Voice Profile[/a].You will need the main FREEWARE Flight Assistant program to use it, get it here:[a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=genutils&DLID=39661]Flight Assistant 2.2[/a]

Hi Tom,I didn't download it, I installed it directly from the site.http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/installThen you hit the little Firefox logo, (Install Spellbound For Firefox)It then opens up menu boxes where I chose Windows, English (US), and clicked install.I also did this while in my regular Profile, and not in Admin Mode for XPsp2.Once I restarted, it all worked.They do have Dictionary Files Here.http://dictionaries.mozdev.org/installation.htmlSee if that works. Did you download and do a manual install?Regards,Joe

How one person Grieves is certainly their choice.If you read the first post again, the author does say he was touched by this and encourages others to give thought to the disaster.If this is how one particular person chooses to grieve, I certainly have no problem with it.One of those to each his own scenarios.I suggest you all read his post again, and find the Good Things in it and perhaps focus on those.I found it very solemn.You may consider it entertainment, but maybe his thoughts and prayers were made during that flight.As for it being morally worrying, well that is your opinion, but I disagree and I think it was done in good taste.

Hi Rob,Thank You, that is what I was looking for. Did you make that by hand? It's exactly what I needed to implement. Thanks,Joe

Thanks Johan,Not so simple though. I am not talking about the kneeboard_keys.htm file. That one I am aware of, and have made use of it.I am talking about commands available in MSFS2004 but NOT ENABLED.These commands exist in:settingsassignmentsall commandsAnd currently have no keyboard or joystick commands linked to them.

Hi all,Did you Know Firefox has a Spell Checker? I sure didn't.

John,I shot him off an email to ask him about performance without USA Waters.I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt here, mayeb he didn't mean to use the word required.I have a feeling it will work just fine, but it may look a bit odd considering MSFS lack of detailed water areas in many spots.I also gave him a link to the thread here.That is also why I grabbed it and opened the readme after I downloaded the 212mb. I couldn't find it searching here in the library, so I went looking for it.Regards,JoePS - For those of you looking for the files, here they are:#1 (Read this first)- http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID...04sd&DLID=58771#2 - http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID...scen&DLID=58784#3 - http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID...scen&DLID=58785

Ok, this is definately misleading, IMHO.Before you DOWNLOAD this, make sure you understand the following sentence he put in the View me here:http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID...04sd&DLID=58771"Therefore to achieve the best precision and the best performance with this Usa Roads Pacakge you are required to have also the Usa Waters Packages - "Ok, he says required for best performance and precision, but does not mention it is Payware. The three files total 212mb, so those in dial up should know this upfront.Regards,Joe

Not sure what water package he is talking about though.Since I'm downloading all three right now, maybe it is in the readme. I checked the library and could not find anything by him in FS2004 with regards to water./UPDATEOk, I read the readme, and it says you should get the waters program, BUT THE USA WATERS IS PAYWARE for $34.95...Then went to fsfreeware site he advises in his readme, (NOT FREEWARE), and linked to waters which took me to the order site for USA waters....Kind of misleading, I think they should say the USA waters is Payware before people start downloading, as it is a bit misleading, especially when he says we should have it.Doesn't say waters is payware in the readme or the viewme section of the library.Readme does say for Maximum results you should have it, so maybe it works pretty good without the waters payware product. Guess I'll try it and find out.Regards,JoePS - for those that do want to pay for the USA Waters, it's here:http://www.fsaviation.com/terrashop/Me, I'll pass on the waters but I will try the roads...

Hi Peter,I would recommend you set up a seperate Gaming Hardware Profile.This is different than a User profile, and is discussed over at Black Viper.I've gained quite a few FPS by implementing this strategy.Info on how to do it here:http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/xpprofiles.htmThe obvious advantage is having different configurations for different tasks.Ie:DefaultGamingSafeInternetThen each time you restart your Computer, you will be given a menu with a choice of hardware profiles to choose one. If you don't choose one, the default one loads up. This is my everyday profile.This has reclaimed for me quite a bit of CPU resources, as well as Ram.And My system is nothing to brag about, I still run the following, and it runs very well, IMHO.Athlon 1.2 ghz512 MB RamFX5600 Over Clocked Vid CardVoice Recognition through Flight AssistantRun MSFS in 1600 x 1200 32.These Harware Profiles are different than Ken's FSAutoStart.I've done tests, and my ram was not returned to me completely when I shut down services through a secondary program or through task manager, etc.... By using my own gaming Profile, I have been able to keep the most ram. This solution works best for me, and YMMV. :-)I'll be happy to help you out if you get stuck, but it is pretty straight forward if you follow the instructions.Keeps me from buying a new computer anyway. :-)The easiest method for those that don't like to tinker, and want a quick solution would be Ken's FS Autostart.Hope This helps,Joe

I agree with Bob,Try out the FREEWARE RealAir 172.Especially before buying anything. :-)You will appreciate the sounds and the airfile is Top Notch, IMHO.And it's right here in the Avsim Library, no need to go browsing somewhere else.Here you go:http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=...hor=&CatID=RootRegards,JoePP-ASEL
