So what is your problem exactly? The "cursor" is suppose to turn into a "hand" when placed over any area of the VC that is functional....

Yeah I know the 800 can be a pain to slow down at times. I usually plan to level off before atc assign my next altitude so I can bleed off allot of that airspeed, once at a stable speed I will put down 1-2 degrees of flaps and then wait for atc to issue me a new altitude.

Boxed version or downloaded? The downloaded version will already include the lastest service packs....

You can't really tell the whole story with that video.... like... Was that his first attempt at landing? If not he might not have had enough fuel to do another go-around.. and from that angle it's a bit hard to tell on how much runway he actually had left..

Well I can think of a few things that could cause this.... 1.Trying to start the engine with props in the feathered position. 2.Forgeting to move the condition lever from taxi to flight prior to takeoff. 3.Not monitoring engine exhaust gas temperatures.

It will be displayed on the navigation display as "ground speed".

Get yourself a mouse with a scroll wheel and then you won't have these problems....

Have you confirmed your V speeds in the FMC? Once they are displayed in the FMC you then have to manually select each one by clicking the adjacent key.

I do believe it cuts out the gear down warning horn, but will only work some of the time not all.

Have you tried disabling the REX water textures?

Type in msconfig in the windows search line at the bottom of the start menu>go to tools and it should be in the drop down menu. Just be aware though if you have installed fsx in the default directory- C:/program files(86) disabling UAC control will not completey disable all security features. You could still experience problems. Best thing to do is install fsx out of C: drive in it's own directory.

I think that pretty much sums it up. Well said Ryan. It doesnt matter where you are on the internet or what forum your on there will always be idiots, just ignore them.......................................................................

Unfortunatley that was not a miracle..............................................far from it indeed. All I can say to Miracle is................ :LMAO: :LMAO: :LMAO: :Loser:

I use affinity mask setting of 1344 and it seems to give the best results out of all the settings I've tried. Since your system is very similar to mine and you have HT enabled maybe give that number a go and see if it helps. Also it might be worth running your fsx cfg file through "bojote's tweaking tool" if you haven't already done so, this improved my FPS considerably.

I thought this was the norm, getting paid by the hour that is.......... So a pilot earning potentially 60-70 dollars per a hour might only see an annual pay check of say 40-50K per year due to the number of flight hours they accumulate. Is this correct? What percentage of companies do a set pay then? I'm assuming mostly privatised companies would go with this approach since the bigger airlines are all about cutting costs and sheding pilot hours.
