My guess would be a DHC-2 Beaver. Check the spa.bin files in the Games For Windows Live - Addons folder. There are several planes mentioned: - Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero (released April 4) - P-40 (released April 26) - F4U Corsair (released May 31) - DHC-2 Beaver - Carbon Cub (released July 25) I think, that means that a Beaver has been on the DLC list.

I already updated my controls during the program update, so I cant test my idea ... Change something in your control configuration, save it, then change it back. That should rewrite the controls configuration. Maybe then Flight stops to ask, since the configuration is newer. You might want to backup your control configuration file. Its called standard.xml. On Win XP its found in: c:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Flight\Players\SomeHexadecimalNumbers\Career\Controls\ If you know how to edit XML files (its not rocket science, especially with an editor that understands XML), it might be smarter to backup your old file, then accept the update, then copy your custom settings using an XML editor.

Just an idea I havent tried so far ... Is it possible to fly clandestine missions in multiplayer mode ? Can another player crash into to the cops plane ?

Well, here it works .. Windows XP Professional SP3 NVidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti (Asus) NVidia driver v296.10 Main monitor: 1920 x 1080 Second monitor: 1280 x 1024 The position of the second monitor on the common virtual desktop is to the left of the first main monitor. Because of that, the horizontal coordinates of the second monitor on the desktop are negative. I have noticed, that a few other applications got confused, when the second monitor was on the right side. These applications seem to ignore the second monitor, when its on the left (because of negative coordinates).

Check this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc707102 It explains how the scenery system works for FSX. The scenery system for MS Flight is newer, but similar.

You can collect the AC without flying THROUGH the keyhole .. Nice pics, btw.

I just collected 4 of them. Red/White tower and Waimea bridge did not show up for me, but i know i collected them earlier. None of them is listed on the aerocache website, so they all might be previous daily caches. Either its a bug, or all yet uncollected previous daily caches are still collectable, just without the circle range hint thingy via ac hunt ? Would be great to have a list of all previous daily caches ...

It would be nice, if the already expired Aerocaches Of The Day (already found or not yet found) were available in the normal Aerocache list, maybe under their own category "Previous Aerocaches Of The Day". So those of us, who cant fly every day, could collect them later.

The second form is the standard form of an empty xml element:- the tag opens the commandline element- the tag closes the commandline elementIf the element were not empty, its content would have to appear between these two tags, e.g.- C:foo -barHowever, if the element has no content between its two corresponding tags, it can be abbreviated by "tag blank slash", e.g.-

My only flying experience consists of real aircraft in real air plus every GA flight sim since the ancient days of Sublogic. However, some government dude signed my pilot license anyway. >This is a video of the spitfire in Crysis. As you can see the>graphics are amazing and embarrass Microsoft developers. > Thanks for the video. However the spitfire feels a bit slow or was crytek running at half speed ? I also watched a bunch of those other crytek videos at youtube. However, none of them showed what I was looking for:- a plane at an altitude higher than the sourrounding mountains, so that i can look beyond them- a line of horizon over non-flat landmass further away than 8-9 km- any other proof that crytek goes beyond their own specificationWould you please give me some links to screenshots or videos of that kind, e.g. at altitudes of 1.000/10.000/30.000 ft ?>They know what Microsoft do not: How to write cutting edge>scaleable software. Crytek has an excellent engine for their genre of games. And they know what limitations their engine has. And they are honest about it in their specification. Even if MS buys Crytek, 1 + 1 would still be 2, not 3. Every combination of CPU/GPU has its uppper limit of X million triangles per second. Crytek knows that, and thats why they put that limit in their engine.I am still waiting for your ideas and suggestions for improvement of the MSFS engine. Kind regards, Martin

>Why would I want to fly a plane through a bunch of trees?>>Jim>Sshhh, dont tell anyone, but thats the magic dx10 screenie of cryteks upcoming bird simulator ..SCNR ;-P

Dear dazza,> .. They should outsource this to Crytek .. Here's just one little nasty fact to burst that dream bubble:Quote from http://www.crytek.com/technology/cryengine-2/specifications/ :"This feature allows optimal usage of CPU and memory to display closer objects and terrain at a fine level of detail while enabling long view distances of over 8 kilometers."So how much is 'over 8 kilometers' ? Well it's not over 9 kilometers, otherwise they would say so. Maybe it is 8192 (= 2^13) meters.So what should a CryEngine2 based FS 11 should draw beyond 9 km ? 100 % opaque haze ? A brickwall ? Nothing (black emptyness) ? Or a huge banner "stay tuned for CryEngine v3 in 201x" ?I you have some elaborated brilliant ideas how to improve the FS engine, lets hear and discuss them.Or, to get filthy rich and famous, grab the sources of FlightGear ( http://www.flightgear.org/ ), implement them yourself and show MS Aces how it should be done ..However, remember that Phil Taylor spent several years at ATI and in the DirectX team. It might get pretty hard to show him a trick he doesnt already know.Kind regards, Martin

> .. installing XP on the same drive as Vista .. First, a disclaimer: Using more than one OS is dangerous. Just forget one critical step and you might mess up your system, so that you have to install everything from scratch !Backup your whole system before messing around like that ..If something goes wrong, my answer will be to start from scratch and use your backups ..Be prepared to start from scratch several times until everything works !Still here ? OK, my PC has two drives. Disk 1 boots XP, Vista and Win2K. Disk 2 boots XP64, Linux, and i could still add two other Windows OS, e.g. Win2008 Server or whatever. Disk 1 is partitioned like this:- BootUS boot manager in the MBR (Master Boot Record) of disk 1- XP in first primary partition- Vista in second primary partition- Win 2K in third primary partition- an extended partition containing just one shared logical partitionDisk 2 is partitioned like this- XP64 in first primary partition- empty second and third primary partition for two other OS- an extended partition containing several logical partitionsThat extended partition on disk 2 contains:- a shared logocal partition- three logical linux partions (swap, boot, root).Using the BootUs boot manager, i can select XP, XP64, Vista, Win2K or Linux.The easiest way to install an additional OS is using a VM (virtual machine) by using MS Virtual PC, VmWare Workstation or something similar. Problem: You cant run FSX or any other DirectX 3D accelerated stuff inside the VM, cause the VM emulates some really ancient GPU from last millenium ..As Reggie already said, the next best option is to install XP first, then Vista. Each OS needs its own partition, so you have to partition the disk using PartitionMagic or something similar. When you install the second OS (Vista), it will be added to the boot menu of the first OS (XP). Problems: Now the 2nd OS depends on the 1st. You cant delete XP without destroying Vista, because they share the boot.ini file in the XP partition.As Reggie said, you cant install Vista first and then XP, if you want to use the official MS OS selection mechanism (boot.ini).On my previous PC i had several OS installed, each independent from each other. I used the XFDisk boot manager ( http://www.mecronome.de/xfdisk/ ) for that. XFDisk can only boot from disk 1. To boot from more than one disk, i use the BootUs boot manager ( http://www.boot-us.com/ ). Read its manual and check the support section on that site for lots of info about using several OS ..Make sure that you understand:- primary partitions- extended partitions- logical partitions- partition types- how to resize and move partitions- how to activate partitions- how to hide partitions (during OS installation)- how to remap partition letters- how to remap physical disks numbers during booting- how to install a boot manager without using a partition- all MS OS need a primary boot partition on the first disk- when installing an OS, hide the partitions of all other OSThere are several limitations, mostly for historical reasons ..Still want to try a multi OS installation ?For some recommendation i need to know:- list of OSs to install (XP and Vista ?)- which OSs need DirectX 3D (both ?)- why not XP + Vista with shared boot.ini (the offical MS way)Martin
