About Me
I can be a bit acerbic for which I apologise now, before you're offended. I was brought up on the Goons, David Frost and Monty Python so that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it!

I knew Peter Wright as he lived very close to me in Eastbourne, before moving to the USA. A top bloke, very experienced programmer and author and very missed on YT. He was the first person I heard say "Study Level" about something. I don't know whether that was his invention.

I stopped watching him a while ago because I got fed up with his constant self-promotions etc.

X-Plane 12 full release in December 2022
Fizzelle replied to Crokybird's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
I was an official BETA tester for OS2 and had to upgrade my RAM from 4MB to 8MB to run it, at a cost of £145! Anyway Windows was never going to be beaten because OS2 had negligible multi-media and other gizmos the public was just starting to want, as CDROMs were starting to come out such as MicroSoft's encyclopaedia etc. Despite Woolworth's using it and a couple of other big corporates, the sheer usability of Windows beat OS2 in very short order. -

Is Flight Simming an Addiction
Fizzelle replied to Sky_Pilot071's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Of course it isn't an addiction. I think the whole program is silly and you won't ever find me playing (or simming) it. In fact I am going to delete the *** from my comp... Oh hang on the PFD is warning me not to sink so fast and I've missed my go around spot so can't chat more now... -
Another insert disk problem on reinstall
Fizzelle replied to micstatic's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I have this problem occasionally and it seems to be after a Windows Update. I run it from the XBOX Application and it works fine. Subsequent loads from my desktop shortcut also seem fine too. I presume it's summat to do with the XBOX hub needing to synchronise with the MS servers. Anyway just throwing this "out there" in case it helps someone. -
Finally fixed my blurry gauges
Fizzelle replied to RobJC's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Before I start blowing up my system do these settings (the Pos X and Y) impact those of us running in 2560 x 1440 as well? Thanks in advance. -
Yorkshire Dales, UK

I live exactly here in the Dales and I can assure you oppressive does not come into it! It's downright oppressive! Nice on a sunny day though. BTW do not go onto Ilkley Moor without a hat. Jus' sayin'. -
