Dang Bill, I lived in Abilene for 5.5 years!I've been simming since FS5, been in the USAF since 1990. I've been a crew chief on KC-135Rs and Ts at KIAB for 13 years, then cross-trained and became an FE on C-130Es and Hs out at KDYS. I just moved over to the MC-130H and am currently located at KHRT. I love to fly and I love to sim! I have a few hours as a student, was working on my PPL, but then I cross-trained and haven't really gotten back into it. I thoroughly believe that because of FS, I was able to solo and do as well as I did in such a short time. I believe this will be my last assignment before I retire from the Air Force, so it's more than high time I finished my PPL! It's good to read a little bit about all of you, nice idea this thread!

Thanks Norman and Dan.I went and reinstalled the 737NG, and tried out the 747 and MD-11. Neither of them would work, so I went in and reinstalled both of them, 747 first, then MD-11 and everything is fine again. I appreciate the assistance both of you provided. It is nice to have a forum where you can go and get a straight answer without a bunch of attitude from those that are "obviously superior" to anyone else that posts.Thanks Again & Blue Skies!

Hey all, I was trying earlier today to do a quick flight with my 737-800 and the sim crashed twice on me sighting my main guage file as the culprit. I think that somewhere along the line, the file got corrupted, no big deal. My quick-thinking mind told me to just go ahead and reinstall the -600/-700 then the -800/-900 and all necessary updates, but then I paused and wondered... If I do such a thing, will that ruin my installations of my 747-400 and MD-11? I thought I remembered reading something along those lines back after the MD-11 came out. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance.

Thanks Dan, much appreciated as always...

Thanks Dan!

Well, I bit the bullet, and went and put together a new system. I have the XFX Nvidia 9800-GX2 BE, and was wondering what the best drivers are for FS9? I am not interested in FSX at this time, just good drivers for FS9. Thanks a lot!FSX for me?

Hey Jack, just go to flightaware every once in a while and check for flights out of LAX to NZAA.
