    Finally abandoned FS2004, but still use it occasionally. I have also reverted to only two screens in anticipation of adopting Virtual reality. I cannot wait for MSFS. Still living in Indonesia but cannot work out why LOL. I Miss Australia but downtown Blitar(Birthplace and resting place of Soekarno) is now HOME for me with trips back to OZ to see Grandies etc.

About Me

  • About Me
    8th Generation Aussie and proud of it. Love Flight Simulation and motor racing (watching it) Not much else to do here except interfacing with my Indonesia family and this is a big part of my life here. I have an Indonesia wife (married 15 years) and two adopted teenage daughters.
    Very little/limited technical support here so I rely on a very slow internet for information and or technical computer help. I would like to permanently and copntinuously thank all the people who have helped or tried to help me in the past on this incredible forum.

  1. Hi Himmelhorse - I noticed you are an Australian in East Java and flightsim! I live 8 months or so of the year in a very remote village in Bangli (yeh Bali - but dont hold that against me, the closest other foreigners are around 20km from me!) and the rest of my life in at my home in the Hawkesbury River area, NSW.

    I have been simming since MSFS V2 (1980's) and it for my whole life has remained one of my most frequent and enjoyable parts of life! I don't sim when in Indonesia, my setup being back in Australia (I like the differences of Indonesian and Australian life and how I spend my day in very different places), but very day without fail keep up on MSFS news!

    Anyway, I thought I would just say hello!

    Cheers,

    Mark

  2. I have to add ... YEAAAAA, I have waited so long to miss this sale. Tony
  3. Hello All, Seasons Greetings and best wishes for the New Year for all who celebrate them. This is one of the very few aircraft that I will consider purchasing. The other is an upcoming project for the Phenom 300. I have heard good things about the Cockspur Citations and I would assume that the Phenom is not going to be an exception. The pics look very, very good. As an Aged Pensioner I am finding it very difficult to make the ever spreading ends meet and I make do with mostly freeware aircraft. Fortunately, for me and other simmers, most of these are very good and supplemented by Working Title and other developers, move into the realm of excellence. Having said that, I cannot really compare payware with freeware aircraft due to the lack of the former in my hangar. I do not really feel deprived though. The only other aircraft that I have seriously contemplated is the PMDG BBJ if I can get it repainted (see other posts of mine) Again, Happy holidays guys n girls Tony
  4. If CS gave their stock away, I very much doubt it would inhabit my hangar. I say this, despite the fact that my MSFS is very much populated by mostly freeware. I do not have a great amount of time for CS or their aircraft. Regards and Seasons greetings for those who celebrate it. Tony
  5. Donka, No I do not have screenshots (att I do not really know how to upload them) I have an Oculus rift quest 2 with 256gb and connected via usb cable (changed twice in the last couple of days) I am currently incredibly busy trying to go home to Indonesia (wife diagnosed with breast cancer) ie getting visas and approval for personal goods into Indonesia tax free and also a multitude of medications which are not available in Indonesia for old fellas like me. I actually fitted in that request about ten minutes before a 312 km drive to Perth W.A. for a medical appointment. Back to Perth again tomorrow and only just got home 20 minutes ago LOL. Busy busy busy. Apologies for lateness in reply Regards Tony
  6. Hello all, Firstly, may I take this opportunity to whish those who celebrate Christmas, a very merry one followed by the best new year wishes for all. Just recently, when I load MSFS and get to post fly now - Fly (second) in VR I have an incredible array of black squares some are somewhat pixelated and opaque but most are solid. These decrease with height above ground, but initially there are thousands of these black squares. Occasionally, they initiate as red squares but generally are black. Performance is not an issue and MSFS in VR is quite smooth. It does not matter where I initiate flight from. I find that if I quit and reload MSFS they tend to disappear but sometimes they appear as normal. Has anybody got any idea where I go to to eliminate these. I am running out of hair to pull out LOL Cheers guys Tony
  7. Hello all, I just did a "properties" check on my MSFS folder (I don't know if this is what you guys are talking about) Community folder is 617gb Official folder is 205gb I also have a Microsoft Flight Simulator folder in there, which I did not have before and that is 2.05gb I only have the Australian WU and only Australian sceneries. Sorry I lie, I do have Denpasar (Indonesia) and fly regularly from there to Perth which I normally do on an annual basis in real life. Tony
  8. Bert, I have said it before just how much I admire you and your contributions to Flightsim. I have been the benefactor of your wisdom on many occasions and words cannot convey my heartfelt gratitude. Simply put, I know of very few who have contributed so very much to this sim in the form of advice and encouragement. This thread is just a small indication of the contribution you have made to so many clueless (actually I mean me and not the general public here) simmers. Heartfelt thanks to you for all of your help to all of our simmers. Bestest regards Tony
  9. This just proves how subjective some statements made on here are. With no, absolutely no, evil intent to V1RO, I have to say that I have no interest whatsoever for his top five. I would not be downloading them if they were free. We are all very individual people and if we have 300,000 members, we would have very nearly that many top five versions listed. FSElite have listed most of the sites offering sales discounts and I would assume that most people have somewhat of an idea what they would like to buy during this Black Friday (?) sale, so I would seriously suggest heading to FSElite and checking it out. Again, that list is not going to please everybody, but spare a thought please, for those of us who are not able financially to take part, leave alone, take advantage of these sales. I have very, very few payware items in my hangar, but I am a happy vegemite as there is so much freeware contributed by so many incredibly gifted people who give their time, energy and skill for the enjoyment of others. I have currently put away some money to purchase one model of the PMDG 737 and I am currently seeking a painter for that model which ever it may be. Of course, my choice is one which will probably never go on sale LOL. I am very sure that there are many simmers in the same boat as I am but we are still very able to enjoy MSFS2020. Have at the sales guys ... buy what you want and please enjoy them to the fullest. Regards Tony
  10. Was that the end of the book of poetry in the dunny (Aussie slang) or the empire LOL Tony
  11. Hello all, This is now posted on Flightsim.to with thank to Just another Pilot for the link. I admit I did not give this a thought before posting. Thanks everyone and here's hoping. Regards Tony
  12. This livery certainly is fictional. To my knowledge, if it is currently registered to a Wirraway the registration would be VM-CAC unless civilian registered of course. Actually, if it is registered to a civilian owned Wirraway the registration would be VG-CAC as that is the GA registration code with VH being commercial aircraft. I could be wrong with all of that of course. I really do appreciate your response. It is at least visible now. I was unaware that it was in the AVSIM library and I would like any new repaint to be freely available there as well as Flightsim.to To my mind it is one of the most attractive BBJ repaints out there (no #%*&( false modesty here guys LOL) and if anyone can do this repaint, I would be profoundly grateful. The aircraft name is Sih Awianingsih (my wifes' name) and it is underneath the rear part of the external cockpit glass. Lastly, I do not mind if this is done to any model of the PMDG 737 line ie 700, 800, 900 or the BBJ, however, I need to buy this aircraft model after someone has agreed to do the repaint. Regards Tony
  13. Bert, Well done again mate. You amaze me with your constant and helpful contributions to AVSIM and flight sim generally. Bestest Tony
  14. Adamski, I just followed that process and picked it up straight away. It does say that it is not a safe site but you can hit the "proceed" button. It is about the 5th livery down from the top of the page. If you are a painter I can PM you with an image if you prefer. Just a thought though. How hard would it be to convert FS2004 liveries to MSFS2020???? Regards Tony
  15. Mate, A great idea and if I had the technical ability to do that I would have. That is the reason for all the information I have provided. I admit that I am somewhat of a dumb donkey (or similiar word) and apologise for that. Best I can suggest is to google Flight1 ifly737 library and on the right hand side select the FS2004 ifly737 ... that should bring it up on the first or second page. Sorry again Guys Tony
