Nice! Glad to hear it's working well for you. Spend 50 bucks on water cooling and crank the processor GHZ up and you'll love it even more. I'm running 4.3GHz without any problems and that's really what FSX thrives on. Have to check out Tradewinds.

Nope. I messed with it for a long time (and it was a loosing battle) before finally getting FSUIPC and SPAD . If you spent the dough on the HW you pretty much have to add FSUIPC to make it worth while. SPAD of course is free. This is particularly true if you switch between aircraft types like I do. The profiles function in FSUIPC and SPAD makes life very easy.

I have about the same setup except i use 3 quadrants. Make sure you use SPAD for the panels and FSUIPC. Delete/uninstall all saitek crap first though.

We have been talking about that quite a few times. Get over it Hookins. Water under the bridge and all that...

Amen to that! And not everything in a post is meant as an attack on anyone. It may just be an opinion, which I hope, is why we participate in a forum.

Tom, you have to admit it's been somewhat skewed towards "the good" rather than "the bad". I would never critique AVSIM and it's mission and goals, but please, pretty please, admit that the handling of Flight has been a little protective rather than objective.

I'm still chuckling :) Does this mean we can finally say what we think of this abortion without getting banned from avsim? No? I didn't think so....

Sorry, but have to chime in again. What Flight did for me was to realize how good it could look, and consequentially I spent some dough on ORBX and other enhancements for FSX. I bought KORS (Orcas) and that just blew me socks off. Since Flight came out and after I quit it (3 months ago), I probably spent 300 bucks on FSX upgrades and I'm very pleased with the results. I wonder if P3D is worth getting into? It would be sweet if they managed to tweak the old code to use new graphics technology. Please do!!!

It's really sad to hear this, but it was also really sad from the beginning; The target audience was wrong. You have to be a nerd to like this type of flying. The kids, they go for dog fights and such. The large and very solid flightsim community doesn't suffer cockpit-less aircrafts too well.

Have you heard about a thing called Search (upper right corner of this window)? Works like a charm.

OK, Don't be careful.

Tried it. Now I get a black screen when starting FSX. Have to do a hard re-boot to get out of it. Be careful.

Install all programs, including FSX, directly under the root of the drive, i.e. C:\FSX or whichever drive letter you are using. Then make sure you select "Run as Administrator" on the properties of each program (FSX, ACARS etc.).

2-3 minutes before landing it said something about "Injecting weather" and everything went ape...
