  1. Ah, thank you for that explanation! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
  2. Thank you...but, why "five by five"? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
  3. This has nothing to do with the topic, but I have a question for five-by-five. What exactly does "Five by Five" mean in aviation parlance? I've been simming for a lot of years and I first heard the reference in the film "Aliens 2" and have never figured out what it refers to. A silly question, I'm sure, but just curious.
  4. Did you see this? It was built exclusively for FSX by an AVSImmer here -- looks like an awesome system: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271127573796
  5. The first time I ever flew this in FS9 I thought it was a mistake by the programmers . . . that they had just sloughed off on it and not put in a proper turnaround or ILS!

    This is terrible news. My condolences to you and his family.
  7. Thanks for posting this!
  8. Massively great to see you, Paul. So glad the "forces of evil" couldn't completely keep down!
  9. As I recall, the demo version of Active Camera does not work outside of the Seattle area. It's designed that way.
  10. I LIKE being married. In fact, I'm in search of my 3rd ex-wife right now. IMHO, there's no real sense of commitment these days. Divorce is way too easy to get, and there is no social stigma about it any more. Everybody is into self-actualization, and being alone, and everybody has too many "issues", and what not, so it is felt that it's just easier to be alone. With all of the distractions we have in modern society, that's pretty understandable. Pierre: I would suggest you get with a mental health professional and start there. Don't be cheap -- there is no better investment than that mae in personal resolution and soul nurturing. Trust me. My last divorce kicked the crap out of me emotionally, but I'm such a better man because of all the work I've done on myself since then! If you want to be alone, they will help you resolve that so that you are a bit more accepting of that. If you want friends, they can help you with that, too. But to have friends you have to contribute and work to get them -- it's not a one way street, and what you put in to it is EXACTLY what you will get out of it -- and you will NEVER find and keep a wife without mastering the art of friendship! If you're not ready to go out for help, or don't feel it's a dire enough situation, there are a TON of self help books out there -- I've read over 100 in the year and a half since my (last) wife moved out. Personally, this guy changed my life! I HIGHLY recommend his ebooks and audio programs -- he and his wife sell many and this is the one I started with: << http://tinyurl.com/8boccca >> PM me if you want. Old and single, AGAIN.
  11. I bought mine in December of 2009 from a place called guitammer.com for 129.99 -- I think Guitammer is the parent company, or the manufacturer. (Not a lot of time to read about it this AM.) Don't forget to check eBay, amazon and the other usual suspects. I just found it on K-Mart.com for 129.99 - the Gamer 2 that is. Same thing I have.
  12. Any ideas what kind of plane would they fly this with? Obviously a single engine . . . like a Cessna or something? A/C identification is NOT my strong point.
  13. That's what I was thinking, but it's still too cool! Thank you, Comanche.
