The current edition of PC Pilot (18 Dec ) has an interview between editor Derek Davis and Dovetail. My interpretation on Dovetail's answers is at best vague insofar as support for existing FSX owners and existing addons. They even suggested you might need two computers if my understanding is correct. I am very unimpressed so far. Oh well back to looking at longer term with either x plane or P3D although version 2 of the latter will seemingly stretch some systems too far at the moment. Martin Madden

Decided to install anyway and as soon as I started the installation I saw that it was 2.2 so question now answered. Martin

Have just downloaded from completed orders as directed but before installing I checked version details and saw it said Version 2.0.0.44. Is this 2.2 please? Martin Madden

Thanks Brian

Airbus are anticipating new releases over the next few months including a complete update of the 320/321. Presumably FS Crew will need to be rewritten to reflect this and I'm wondering do we have to buy a completely new product? Martin Madden

I am looking to generate interest in forming a new group. North South and South West seem well catered for but nothing in the middle. Just need a few to get us started then we can sort venues etc. Martin Madden

You never cease to impress! Martin Madden

Yes I have the same problem. I can get onto the forum through Avsim but not via the PMDG Home page link ( the drop down) It appears to have a corrupt address? Martin Madden

Thanks Austin- You almost got me going there!!Martin madden

Just to complete the info I have spoken to Dell and they have confirmed that Optimus Technology is in operation. Basically the nVidia card only kicks in on demand. The Intel Graphics 3000 on board has 1.6 GB which with the nVidia 1GB gives quite a performance. Given that the laptop was bought for routine plus a bit of video I am very impressed. in case anybody is interested the model is Inspiron 17R.Martin

Thanks GuysI am consulting Dell but I have found in the booklet reference to the nVidia card which is a GeForce GT525M shown as " discrete" suggesting that it is hiding behind the Intel HD Graphics which is what is appearing in FSX settings. This would in some way appear to be of the nature of what Bob has said.Martin

Just bought a new laptop and realised it would probably run FSX which I already run on a performance desk top. Only problem seems to be that within FSX it only seems to recognise the onboard grapics and ignores the card. Device manager shows both and that driver for Nvidia is ok.Any ideas anyone?Martin Madden

Sorry,please ignore.It has been dealt with elsewhereMartin Madden

Hi MarcelloI have and am very pleased with the BMI Baby repaints. I see that the "oppostion" have produced a British Airways repaint based upon the 600 model which is as near as possible to the ones they actually still use which is the 400.It would be great if you could add this to your achievements please?Keep up the good work and thanksMartin Madden

Since the release of the repaint kit there are many good liveries on Avsim but as most predate SP1 does that mean we should not use them? So far I have only used SP1 updated liveries from PMDG's own downloads. Seems such a waste of effort if we can't use them?Martin Madden
