    Hey Jon, Good to see you're still alive and well! The old FU3 certainly was ahead of it's time on lots of fronts. Imagine where it would be now if it didn't get the chop. I've moved to the tablelands for a while and had to pack everything up. Simming on a laptop just ain't the same. Bruce H

    Good to see there is still a spark left in the old FU3, I rattle it out occasionally and am still amazed at how good this sim is, especially on today's hardware. Long live FU3! Cheers, Bruce H

    Hi, try running the updater from within your Xplane folder, when it finishes it gives you the option of running Xplane immediately. That seems to reset something somehow. Worked for me. On Win 8 it would always hang on startup. After this "tweak" no more problems (so far). Cheers

    In Inspector try setting Common-Vertical Sync to 1/2 refresh rate. Worked for me. :rolleyes:

    Looks like it's right up there with "Airplane!" AKA "Flying High" down under. :mellow:

    I would like to see better control over dual screens in XP. I'm sure a lot of folks would be driving two screens from the one card. It would be great to have bezel management to get rid of the nasty split screen effect. Not sure if this is possible but there you go. As Matthew from "Anne of Green Gables" observed rather dryly, "It don't hurt none to have an opinion" Cheers all, Bruce H (Oz)

    I usually tidy my desk and take the trash out ..... :lol:

    I tried it, sounded like it might be useful.... but too many issues. Maybe down the track it may be a little more refined (and useful) It would be great if a voice recognition app could drive the ATC to make it more immersive and user friendly. Maybe 10.30? Cheers Bruce H

    Hi, You can also check to make sure your joystick hardware isn't generating the problem by looking at the raw data... Settings - Data Input and Output - Check RH box under joystickail/elv/rud Go back to the cockpit view and you should see the data in top LH corner With joystick centered these values should be pretty close to zero.

    I've just discovered that Google's cache link point to a much more informative discussion on WED than the one posted in the OP's quote. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:tDym0b1xZ1AJ:www.x-plane.com/support/manuals/wed/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=au Strange.... :unsure:

    Does anyone know the whereabouts of a proper manual for the new version of WED? The link on the help tab points to the old version...

    Hi John, 64 bit is included in the demo. Just run X-Plane.exe. Bruce H (Oz)

    Flight Unlimited is pretty good.... nice flight dynamics, stable (only one patch since release), got ATC and AI that work. Shame it got shelved back in 2000 (or thereabouts). Imagine where it would be by now if development continued.. Oh well. Bruce H (Downunder)
  16. Roger Over
    Not good for me, just CTD. Preferences blown away, still NBG. :wacko: Oh well......
  17. Roger Over
    No developer notes from Ben yet, so not sure what changes to expect. Maybe 32 bit won't crash as much? Cheers Bruce H (Oz)

    Thanks Andre, All the best from down under. Bruce H

    Wow! Looks good. Now all I need is an iPhone :( Cheers and happy Christmas and New Year to all FU'ers. Bruce H (Oz)

    Hi, This probably isn't the right forum for this post, but I felt folks may be interested to hear of the loss of six friends in the crash of a rebuilt vintage De Havilland Dragon DH-84 (1934) in Queensland, Australia. The plane was returning from a air show when the pilot ran into difficulties in bad weather. The DH-84 was one of a remaining four in the world. http://www.abc.net.a...m?site=sunshine Bruce H (Oz)

    Hi Andre, Good to see things still happening for the old FU3. It still has a lot of charm which even the new ones can't match in some respects. I must get on with getting you a copy of the night lighting so you can set Switerland ablaze at night. Been busy and distracted with other things unfortunately. Regards Bruce H

    Just imagine where FU3 would have been by now.........CheersBruce H (Oz)

    Anyone else see FPS increases or is it just me?CheersBruce H (Oz)
  24. Roger Over
    Hi,Nvidia have released an updated driver... on my old Geforce card it seems to deliver a reasonable boost to FPS in XPX. Shudder problem seems to have disappeared as well..CheersBruce H (Oz)

    I would have thought that until XP offers a method of locking down models to protect IP rights, then not too many of the big boys will look seriously at making money out of XP.Just a thought....CheersBruce H (Oz)
