I would beg to differ that we'll be forced to use FSX. I have all that I need at this point to fly FS9 for however long I want. I have the few add-ons I like and use. To use an analogy. Say you have a nice 72 Porsche Carrera that you drive. It runs great ! it's in good shape and everything works. Who or how would I be forced to get the new model. I don't upgrade it with all the latest gear. It is fine the way it is it does everything I need.Oh and yes I still use DOS command lines all the time. Some simple things are just easier faster and better suited for specific purposes.

I am in the market for 3 Short Throw projectors and wondered what others suggest. I have seen the BenQ MX613ST for around $640 USD and wondered if anyone has a opinion or experience with it and if that would be a decent choice for low end projector.Thanks in advance Henry

I have X-Plane 9.31 and downloaded x-squawkbox and have connected to Vatsim fine with no problems with Voice Etc. The issue I have is that the traffic at whatever airport I am at is frozen and doesn't move. For example if I connect and there is an aircraft landing and it is flaring then it just sits and floats at the same altitude and position for ever and doesn't move. If I disconnect and reconnect then it is at another location after re-connecting but it statys at the location and is frozen. It appears that I am getting the initial position when connecting but then I don't get any updated possitions for it so it never moves. During the whole time I am connected I am able to communicate with whatever controllers are online at the time fine. I have flown for years on Vatsim in variuos version of MSFS and never have seen this issue.Any thoughts idea's or solutions ?Thanks in advance !Hank Adam

Get the IR4 as it works fine in FS9 and FSX save the money and get something that works without the aggravation. Had it for two years and no problems and use it everytime I fly and couldn't fly without it.

I use FSINN with FSX and FS9 I used to use just SB with FS9 and then with FSX I used FSINN and actually like it better and find it more stable ( for me anyways)

I use widefs and simconnect as well as FSinn to run various flightsim addons from other PC's. Has anybody played with Tileproxy and any flavor of conduits on a seperate PC.I figured I'd ask as I have googled and not found anything and don't like going down dead end roads. Not that you don't find a lot of interestng and eye opening idea's but right now I don't have the excess time to devote and then find out it's not curretly possible.Thanks in advanceHank Adam

I dropped my resolution also and improved things. However... I use trackir and also and any FPS lower then 10 gets jerky. I don't really see any FPS improvement unless I am at Unlimited. I was wondering if it's at all possible to run Tileproxy on another PC through WideFS

Per Cristian ........ Google Inc. kindly (but authoritatively) asked to block access to any server in the domain *.google.com from the Tileproxy application. In return for my cooperation I was offered a free T-Shirt which I considered to be the better deal - as opposed to a lawsuit. Let me stress that Google was very forthcoming in this matter and contact with me was established by their engineering department - not the legal department.

Took me a couple of months........... might try getting another email address like a hotmail one or gmail etc. You have to go through the vendor and their support or lack of it is terrible,

How in the heck are you able to grab the exact same location for the second shot as for the first? And I do mean exact down to the every detail and alignment cept for the sky variation. And the refelction of the sun on the water in the same location except there is no sun in the second shot.

Maybe you guys should look more seriuosly at X-plane. I would love to see more in the way of serious commercial add-ons for it. I have recently delved into it after a big dissappointment with FSX. I too get much better graphics with FS9 than I can ever hope to with FSX. It be great to see some serious development using X-plane in the area of weather, Vatsim etc etc.Hank Adam

I have always used FSBuild for route planning. Gives you the option to save the plan in a wide variety of formats. Just tell it where your ASX is installed and then in ASX just import the plan and your done.

I definitely would be willing to donate to help. I definitely value the updates and think others do too.Hank

I purchased mine through Naturalpoint. At the time they had and I believe they still have a 30 day money back tryout. But......... after 5 minutes you'll forget about returning it. I use the clips on the hat and never have a problem. I use my headset alot and having something clipped to it I would worry about it breaking, especially when it is not in use. I wouldn't want to unmount it constantly either to keep it safe. The hat clip is durable and works great. Try it first as the clip is way overpriced I think and is not any more accurate.And yes it will fit fine on a laptop. You'll be surprised at how small it actually is.... and oh yea... like everyone says you won't ever fly a 2D cockpit again and will wonder why you waited so long!

For you LD767 VC addicts ( me included) try setting your ( or really deselecting) the high resolution VC setting. I did this and gained a couple of FPS. Really helps at the busy airports. Until DX10 is out and I go to Vista and a new system with the lates Video cards. I don't try and push the limits with FSX or the LD763. I did not fly FSX after first trying it when it came out until the LD767 was ready. I flew the FS9 version online almost 95% of the time. The FSX version is as good as the FS9 version with the high res off I think and the new FMS and VNAV is truely realistic.
