  1. Hi Jim, 

    Was just thinking about you and wondering how you are doing. Hope the treatments are doing well and you are feeling a bit better. :smile:

    Kindest regards,

    Hi Jim,

    I just read your post and got hit like with a baseball bat. We share so much and go back so far.

    If you would like me to call and we can talk things over, or I can pray with you. Just send me your number.

    You are a friend, and I care very much.

    Spirit Flyer,

  3. Phil, It is truely a delight to see your post! So glad and thankful that you have a new lease on life. I pray that all will go well with you for a very long time! Welcome back. Kindest regards,
  4. When you are in Moncton area give me a call and we will meet for a coffee!
  5. I'm scared to post here in case I jinx up my setup, but now it's too late! Is there such a thing as jinxed by association? What should I do?
  6. Hello Canuck, Am not sure about a few things that may be relevant; 1. What Operating System? 2.What Motherboard and Bios version and settings of virtual cores? 3. Which FS Platform and series (FSX or P3D version) 4. What GPU and Driver? 5. What speed of overclock if any? Kind regards,
  7. Hi Matthew, good to see you. Apparently another offer is in the making from others, but who knows. Trudeau campaigned against the F35 but after elected backed-down from the back-out, sort-of. I expect something a bit more solid will be forthcoming before parliament resumes.. Kind regards,
  8. Thank you for those helpful observations about Canada and our military ranking Pete. Much appreciated! All the more, since we do have limited funds available, it is necessary for us to make the right decisions in our military procurement. Whether or not to continue with the F35 program is painful, as others have pointed out, due to considerations regarding cost/benefit per F35 copy, and the timetable for sufficient numbers required for full RCAF implementation. Kind regards,
  9. Excellent conversation! As a Canadian my country has been caught in the gray foggy middle ground of the valley of indecision with the F35. The more Canadians are told about it, the less certain we seem to be. One thing for certain, if we go this route the Royal Canadian Air Force will be very small. Indeed, The F35, if adopted by the RCAF, will result in far fewer aircraft at a much later date than otherwise would have been. I don't know what we should do, let alone have an informed opinion on its adoption for others. I am quite underwhelmed, but admittedly in a gray fog about it, like many of us might be. Kindest regards
  10. I agree! We are all speculating on the platform in similar ways. Perhaps our hopes will be realized and our fears relieved. Hoping for the best! Kind regards,
  11. Nope! Yup!
  12. To say that "I would have paid for something if I had liked it" is like saying "I would not have lied if I had not been caught". Nonsense! Piracy is piracy. It is a crime, always was and always will be, no matter which flag you fly. Kind regards,
  13. Gee Jimmy, I don't know if your ultimatum will matter a whole lot to the developers and community when you introduce your objections this way. As far as you threatening them through your connections with a lot of the really important people in the community and industry that you say you can influence by your displeasure is really kind of funny. You could be surrounded by substantial flight simulation authorities and influential personalities within this very thread and apparently you wouldn't even know it. However I will watch for Bill Gates and if he backs you up will be most impressed! It will turn out to be whatever it will turn out to be. Anyway have some fun. Its just a hobby, and we are a voluntary type community of the heart, so why not holster your guns. kind regards,
  14. After pondering the insightful analysis presented by some within this thread, I think there is a huge pending sea change that may swing things deep and wide in X-plane's favour, depending.. If P3D v4 and/or DTS Next are 64 bit but are not backward compatible for accumulated FSX and/or P3D version 3.x add-ons such as ORBX and Aerosoft etc., the hobby will divide, split and separate into various divisions along the following lines: -FSX (steady erosion of base, declining) -FSX-SE (erosion of initial base and buy-in, declining) -P3D 4.x (unknown but if bare and not backwards compatible, limited hobby growth) -P3D 3.x (If static and/or officially unsupported or marketed, declining) -DTS FS (Wild card, but if bare and not backwards compatible, limited growth but unknown) -Other partial simulations, platforms (like Aerofly) and games breaking into the marketplace X-Plane ( Will likely keep base, and increase market share from former FSX, FSX-SE, P3D v. 3.x customers) So, all this change is likely to put rocket boosters under X-Plane if they aggressively pursue those who are negatively effected. In some respect the greater the chaos amongst the others, the greater the opportunity for X-Plane to jump in the driver's seat...maybe! Just thinking... Kind regards,
