Sad to read as a huge Hawg fan. But you have to re-role your airframe to make it relevant in today's multi-role fight, ala USMC KC-130's with the Harvest Hawk kit fitted.

FSX68 replied to a thread FSX SOUNDSET for the Pratt & Whitney R-1340 in FSX General Discussion

From PM I got from fsxar177: "It will be made available very soon, and a public notice and link will be posted. It will also include new liveries, a re-visited FDE for the purpose of racing, and the integration of the real engine module." Due to recent loss of his Dad, project has set him back but is resuming completion of this project. I am assuming it will be posted here on SOH when ready.

I have a Monster brand electronic surge protector that "cleans" the power, and ensures constant level voltage (or it shuts off). Would that type of device work as a isolation transformer? NC

falcon409 replied to a thread North Texas Regional Terminal in FSX General Discussion

Yep, I know I won't always have the ability to get up close photos of every building I will do, but it sure is nice to be this close to the airport and have the chance to go there and get new photos whenever I need them. I guess the two things I'm working through right now are getting the textures onto as few sheets as possible (right now, every texture is separate) and "where do I stop" with the custom buildings and rely on default or other objects to fill in, lol.

In my case, I installed a program that used files with the same extension (.air), and that program "took over" the file association without asking. Something like this may have happened. Milton's suggestion should fix it. In the case of Win7, you right-click, select "Open-with", then "Choose default program..."

There are four of these large hangars on the airport, so this will fill the flightline pretty quickly and only one of them has changed considerably after being renovated by a "wealthy tenant", lol. . . .but at least I have the basic structure and I can add on to make the new portions he added.

See how he reached into his flaming car to activate the fire extinguisher after getting out? We usually just see the drivers run away from their flaming rides, which is perfectly understandable!
