I am now 94, but still very active operating my flight simulator. I recently installed the PMDG 737-800, and Chaseplane, and had problems completing the Device Setups in Control Settings. I have now got 7 different profile settings in both "Airplane and General" Control Devices which I unnecessarily created over a period of time. I have now ended up unable to fly, because some profiles have got muddled up. For instance when I select FLY when in the cockpit view on the runway threshold, I find that the landing gear, although down, is indicating UP, with 3 greens and 3 reds. When I press "END" on the keyboard I cannot go to the default external view. When I attempt to carry out an Approach and Autoland on the 737, at a fairly late stage in the approach the throttles fail completley, and I have to abandon the approach and exit with ESC, otherwise it crashes. There are several other things that don't work, but I won't wast time explaining them. I am well aware of the many very professional videos available explaining the setting up and installation of such things, but I need to know how to resolve things. I would like to delete all of the Control and Device Settings, and create new profiles for three aircraft I fly, 1) PMDG 737-800, 2) Hawker Hunter, ( I used to fly them over 70 years ago) 3)Chipmunk. I then hope that all 3 aircraft will be set up and operate as previously, before I messed things up. I was a professional pilot for over 45 years, and still need to be completely in charge of the situation, but it's becoming a lttle more difficult as time goes on. Is there anyone reading this, living in the UK in Buckinghamshire, maybe who could contact me

I am an ex RAF, and Commercial Pilot who retired in 1992. I have been involved in Flight Simulation for many years. Unfortunately, my memory is beginning to give me problems. I have been using MSFS 2020 since it was launched, and last November I purchased MSFS 2024. I have been trying to set it up using the same keys I am using on MSFS 2020, but without much success. If this is possible, I would like to contact any serious flight simmer who lives near me, who would be able to come to my house and help sort things out. I live in the UK, in Buckinghamshire, between Aylesbury and High Wycombe. If this request will be allowed, it will hopefully give me a few more years with my favourite hobby, many thanks, roytc.
