After a crash I now have different Hard Disk positions. All the FSX stuff is intact. I have managed to reinstate all except PDMG which on trying to reinstall the following occurs. It is unable to locate fsx.exe and the readme says: This installer will search for your flight simulator installation as itis reported by the registry on your machine. If you have moved your flight simulator installation, or if you deleted it and re-installedin a new location without updating the registry on your computer, youmay be told by this installer that it cannot find your MSFS installation.If this message is displayed, you must manually navigate the installerso that it points to your default MSFS installation directory, or thisairplane will not install correctly.How do I effect the navigation, the installer closes.RegardsKen Ellis

Hi VictorI think the only UK credit card which doesn't charge a fee is the "Nationwide" Visa. The rest make a small charge, I think they call it a Forex fee.RegardsKen

HiThanks guys, reinstalled and all back ok, careless use of system restore I think.

Hi allI just noticed that Andre Folkers handsome Level D 767 3D panel bmp's no longer work (or have I some other fault causing this?).A great shame, he must feel gutted.ken ellis

Hi y'allMaybe for some of us the sparcity of uploads can be beneficial, I remember my almost frenzied download/install/chase up updates/test routine when FS9 was at its peak of popularity and I had so little time for flying or even running tutorials for the likes of Level D and PMDG.Now I am catching up a little since downloading etc. takes up less time. This is slightly tongue in cheek since my enjoyment of the hobby is still as high.

HiI wonder has anyone tried to install the excellent Albatros DIII in FSX, I find that it works very well EXCEPT that the window is cut off about a tenth of the height from the bottom on all views except the 2D panel. The desktop is visible in the gap.This is the only imported aircraft displaying this fault in the ones I have tried.ken ellis

Hi BertYes, I have experimented with this before but the problem is that many panels DO extend to the top of window so without major surgery (via FS Panel Studio) for instance, to every individual panel, I have not yet found a universal panacea.Living with the loss of say 24 mm vertically with a window must be set against the angst of the above so until a better solution comes along that is what I must do.Another associated problem I notice concerns the use of widescreen (16 x 9) monitors for fs use.In a recent review of a 707 by Mike T he shows several screenshots of the panel with such a monitor. I wonder if I am hypersensitive to the aspect ratio distortion since it spoils the whole image for me.When I visit houses which have a widescreen TV I notice that many still keep the 16 x 9 aspect to view 4 x 3 images and are unperturbed at the effect so I guess I am a minority in being sensitive to it.regardsken

Hi AndreasUnfortunately 17" & 19" LCDs have a native resolution of 1280 x 1024 which gives an aspect ratio of 1.25/1 instead of 1.33/1 (4x3).This res. MUST be used in order to preserve quality of image.This gives unnaceptable distortion of circles and squares from a 4 x 3 image full screen so the only solution is using windowed mode which more or less corrects this.regards

Place it in the Radio panel works fine.See email.ken ellis

HiI notice your squares are rectangles and your circles are elipses ! May have something to do with your problem. Suggest you try using a ratio which gives a correct Horizontal/Vertical ratio. On reflection I don't see how this can be affecting fonts but you will get a non distorted image.ken ellis
