iOS vs. Android FS Apps
There are a number of flight apps for Android that are quite good. I made the switch from the Apple ecosystem to Android almost two years ago, and haven't lacked for apps to do whatever I need to do. You can browse the Google Play Store to take a look at what is available. I've found apps here to be of variable quality in user-interface, but I've always been able to find something that meets my needs, although sometimes not quite as elegant in appearance as the IOS version. There are E6B, UTC, and VFR chart apps. There are several NGX -specific apps on Android: FS2Crew Flight Crew Sim and Flight Crew Assistant.

Beware of Photobucket
I don't think there is any reason to assume that the message appeared at the time your computer was infected. Sometimes these things show up hours or days afterwards.

EagleSoft Team - Help!
I've had the same problem. No response from the support address to at least two emails. I'll try again.

Mooney M20J nose wheel doors in X-Plane10
I guess I was confused by the claim in the X-Plane.org store that it was for X-Plane 9 and 10. :(

Mooney M20J nose wheel doors in X-Plane10
I've noticed that the nose wheel doors on my M20J never close in X-plane 10. They do in XP 9.Is this something that's been brought up before? Any fix?

Piaggio Avanti 180 from Wilco
Try pulling back on the prop controls when taxiing, works for me.

Real Weather not downloading correctly
I've been having the same problem with the weather at my home base for more than three weeks. I finally gave up and bought REX. It's worth the extra cost.

Flight Design CTsw floatplane sinks
I've been trying to use the Flight Design CTsw floatplane (xctsw_im.zip), but the darned thing starts listing to starboard (right) almost immediately after the scenery is loaded. It capsizes and, of course, crashes. Engine running or not, same thing.None of the other floatplanes I have display this problem.Anyone have any thoughts?

Carenado Mooney - odd thing
>It is an old problem that only shows up on some panels and>there is a solution if you own the payware version of FSUIPC. >Look for a chack box label something like "Fix Control>Acceleration" or words similar to that. Put a tick mark there>and all is well. R-I'm gonna have to give that a try...... it happens to the FS9 Dreamfleet Baron most of the times I load it. Many times I run it in FSX, so I had put it down to an incompatibility with FSX.Thanks for the hint.Mike

Which aircraft would you pick?
Dreamfleet Baron 58.Close second Eaglesoft Citation II.

can you live without the VC?
"can you live without the VC?"Yes. I don't feel strongly either way. Sometimes I use one, sometimes the other. Maybe I have a short attention span, but I like variety. I switch aircraft a lot, also.

XP Home vs XP Professional
Point taken. I still have multi-processor machines running here, so that difference had gotten buried in my subconscious somewhere. Thanks for reminding me.

XP Home vs XP Professional
Bear in mind that XP Home doesn't have multiple-processor support. This doesn't directly influence FS9, but it might be of value if you have background processes running (and Windows always does).

A Positive on SP2
>Ever hear of the term SILENT MAJORITY? Guess not eh.>>Did I post in this positive thread? No?? Well, I have now. >SP2 = all positive for me. Heck it even FIXED one of my>add-on planes.>>Rhett>I had the same experience. I installed SP2 this afternoon and it runs just fine. My favorite FS9 freeware plane now has textures for the wheels, and a pilot and copilot. It may have even bumped up the frame rate a tad.Now if Dreamfleet would offer an FSX Baron 58, life would be good. At least for a while.

Loch Ness monster
I've run up and down the loch in a copter half a dozen times and never seen it so far.

FSD Avanti
Does the FSD model have the same engine start problems that the freeware model does? If not, then I'll probably purchase it.I tried the Abacus one, but I couldn't get it installed (after three days of trying and several emails).

Can't control taxispeed with turboprop a/c
Vikingair:I have one turboprop aircraft (a Beech Starship) that just won't keep the taxi speed down, even with the condition lever adjusted down. I finally had to install Rob Berendregt's ground handling gauges to control the speed, otherwise the taxi speed could get up to 80 knots.You might give it a try if all else fails. The file is rcbgh-32.zip. I don't remember if it's here in the library files or if I got it somewhere else.
