About Me

  • About Me
    Long time simmer, using FS9 to learn more about Aviation History and to get a feel for what it was like back in the Golden Years of Aviation.

    For the most part though... I'm no one of any significance or importance.

  1. Supersonic, Hypersonic... BAH! Whether it's the early 1970's or Today... the first time one of those "Sonic" jobs flies over CornLand and shatters some Farmer's windows, he gets on the phone and calls his good ol' boy down the dirt road who just happens to be a Congressman, and so on and so on... in the end, Strat-o-launch, Boom(stick) and the rest of the PVC Pipe Dream "xxxSonic" Testbeds sit at Marana, AZ rotting and corroding in the hot Desert sun, worth nothing more than the sheet Al-U-Minium they were built from. All because a gaggle of Karens and Kenyons cannot tolerate big bada booms from time to time...
  2. Sounds to me as if the culprit is just the British version of a coy-ote... common here in The States. Another link in the Global illegal Immigration trade. Here one day, gone tomorrow... vanishing in the sea of People. They sure do hire 'em young at BA...
  3. When Channels like History and NatGeo got away from History and the Geography/Peoples of the World, I stopped watching them as a whole except for Life Below Zero. Shows like Skinwalker Ranch, Oak Island and Expedition Unknown have no interest with me.
  4. Please Delete all above except my Initial Post. Yikes! Sorry about that!
  5. Your statement (italicized) was the premise of the classic SciFi novel Logan's Run. The Young were more useful than the Adult. Mandatory Euthanasia at 21 (30 in the Film). This Quote from an old TV show always stuck with me... "To instantly transform a Society with Technology is not only Harmful, but Destructive." The rapid (20 year) ascendance of Social Media into our daily lives and all of the ills it brought into Society at large lends credence to the above Statement, as does the 'drone' from the Pied Pipers of Technology spouting forth the wiles, allure and the potential that AI will bring... Sounds like the Frakking Cylons to me; soon we'll be flirting with Toasters and Skinjobs at the local Pub?
  6. Why buy 'new'? There are tons of 'lightly used' Laptops out there that'll run FS9 perfectly well. Get a few years use out of it, then move on to another. Heck, I'm thinking of getting another one as a Spare!
  7. I cut my Teeth and learned the Trade flying for The Rebel Alliance in X-WING by LucasArts. Was it really a 'flight sim'? Maybe not. But we sure had loads of fun!

    Gunsmoke

    Gunsmoke is good; it had a Spin Off (remember Dirty Sally?), but personally I prefer Arness' and Manley's subsequent project, How The West Was Won. Zeb Macahan was one tough hombre.
  9. One other thing to keep in mind about older Payware Airplanes; their Installers may not work properly for newer versions of Windows...
  10. What kind of Features do you want out of your Aircraft? Systems Complexity? Visual Quality/Availability of Repaints? As brisafresca said, many of the Payware airplanes you and he referenced have not been available for many Years. Many developers today consider FS9 an outdated Platform With the System Specs you posted, you might be better off with the Freeware offerings available; they will work much better on your System. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying 'Nine'; as a dedicated user of FS9 it's good to see people still enjoying this Platform and all it has to offer.
  11. Just be forewarned that some older Payware offerings may not function correctly because of the OS...
  12. Oh, het is heel slecht. Ze laten je landen, nemen je mee naar een kleine schuur ver weg in het achterland en porren je met gebroken scherven van ongekookte lasagnepasta. Dan zetten ze je naakt af op het Stadsplein.
  13. T-34 Mentor and Turbo Mentor. Martin Baker MB.5. PBY-5A Catalina. Download 'em and give them a try!
  14. And they use those glitzy, feigned looks of incredulity along with the Description as bait, to draw the Viewer in. Then, discuss nothing having to do with either the Description or the Thumbnail. The vast majority of YT Videos are exactly that; CLICKBAIT.
