Am quite sure you Crusader fans have visited this site: http://www.cloudnet.com/~djohnson/index.html The Last of the Gunfighters website A lot of great information there:) NC

So glad I could help:mixedsmi: Every once in a while (when not even looking for it) I will discover yet another FSX site I'd not heard of. This community is larger than we realize! NC

Michael McDonald is one of my favorite artists! NC

Had to look up Hoary Old Chestnut. Had never seen it before. NC

Thanks so much! NC

SF? And what gauge are you referring to? Thanks. NC

That was the same type of chair on my Obutto Gaming seat, but my back hurt from sitting in it. I just could not get comfortable, unfortunately. NC

I remember seeing that years ago, but besides not having the mechanical know how, I like the Dreamflyer-type construction.... Pete

Your fairly detailed response caused me to go in a different direction. I know the Wilco model has an automobile with it, but I don't have FSX for the cars. (I purchased the 50% off Osprey.) Thanks again.

This is why I like SOH so much; I had never heard of the Occulus Rift until you posted....thanks.. NC

Now THAT is funny!!! Pete

Over the years, I have gone through several types of chairs. I've gone the route of buying the cheapest office chair at Walmart...to a fancy simchair setup. My experience is, as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. My current chair was bought off of Amazon.com. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FL3LZI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 But then I bought oversized wheels for it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001H96YRG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 All in all, I am quite satisfied with it. VERY comfortable for my back. Not to say it would be for yours. AND the armrests are the perfect height.

Thanks!!! Pete

With regards to the mouse cursor on the X52......is there a chance that it could be causing my PC mouse cursor to move on its own across my screen? And if so, how do I disable it? Thanks. NC

Definitely a challenge, landing on the "O". I tried three times, unsuccessfully last night. A-4 and T-28. Came close with the Trojan, but landed too fast, and ended up swimming..... NC

GREAT stuff, Spazsinbad!! Seems like I recall the Corsair II having. Similar "detent", but I'm probably mistaken......old age. NC

Thanks for that great explanation, Griphos!

Thank you!:salute: NC

Ok, this "teasing" is maddening! Talk about a carrot in front of a horse! When do us "non-beta testers" possibly get to do our own carrier ops on the "Mighty "O"? NC

I have to say that nothing surprises me nowadays. When looked at everything in its entirety, this culture of ours has changed so much from what I grew up to believe is just and true. Seriously, it's as if everything I was taught to be wrong is now considered acceptable. Anyone else feel this way? It is maddening. I try not to let things like this get to me, but it's not easy. Thank goodness my blood pressure medicine works. NC

Very well put. NC I was at a meeting last night, and one of the guys there told me his sister regularly goes to Disney World from her home in the NY area, and does exactly what the article talks about. I told him how wrong it was in my opinion (and he agreed).

Flooding? Have not heard that term. Does that have to do with MP flying? NC

I started taking flight lessons in 2004. After my second lesson, I learned the IRS was going to take more money than expected that year, so I had to give up the PPL idea. That is when I decided that flight simulation was the wisest and CHEAPEST course! I love it! NC

Second that request. (Still some pretty fine work even if the AF guys can't land properly.)

I was living on Sanibel when I first moved down here. Now I won't even go to the island anymore. So many folks who come down there have that attitude....snobbish, and "I'm special, get outta my way" I avoid them like the plague. NC

Ok, I finally broke down and bought it! Must admit though, I will still hope for a Trojan with a tail hook! NC

I am unable to find my post, but I had asked about this very topic. Although it would be awesome to have AI taking off/landing from a moving carrier, I understand the problems involved with doing so. I would be quite satisfied with a static carrier setup for now, if possible..... NC

Hi Rabbit, Now I see what you were referring to. I had been looking at the screenshot on a Ipad. Difficult to see the wake line on the hull. NC

Being curious....what is odd about them? NC

I did read the reviews about it. The aircraft themselves are beautiful; no disputing that. But there is a lot that is NOT available in this sim: http://simhq.com/_air14/air_516a.html Although the sim has beautiful graphics, there isn't any AI, for example, and (as I understand it, only one set of textures - no changing seasons. And I believe only day flying? NC

(I've been recovering from mouth surgery, so just now catching up on Ant's T-28D.) I felt good enough yesterday to acquire Ant's T-28D and install it. I picked it up at FS Pilot Shop (along with a 50% off A-4...couldn't resist) and had no install issues. I was too taxed after all that work, but finally took my first flight in the T-28D this morning. Good looking, excellent flight dynamics and rock solid in the groove. Thanks Ant for a great addition to the FSX galaxy!

Wish it was that simple. I always run programs as administrator. No luck, unfortunately:(. NC

If I want to install the Skyhawk into P3D as well, is it just a matter of copying directories over to P3D? When I initiate the installer again, it is asking me if I want to Repair or Remove.... NC

I think I am confusing the version of the Installer with the version of the aircraft itself? My installer file version is indeed 1.1. NC

Too late. Already bought from Simmarket this morning. Are there updates for version 1.1, or will Virtavia provide support in this case to allow for a second download? Wondering.....NC

Arno's Model Converter software was mentioned in an earlier post I'd read. This is a good example why YouTube video tutorials are helpful. Am off to see if there might be one? NC Update: Just checked. Saw at least one that is applicable. If I can figure this out (a true challenge!) it would be awesome. So many cool objects that could be used. Additionally, I need to learn how to organize my object library so I can more easily find things.

Does that mean the version being sold on Simmarket currently is older? 1.1? NC

I had the privilege of several backseat rides in NATC TA-4s in the early 70s. Sooo much fun! Oftimes the pilot, usually USMC, would try to get me sick. Not happening. The more barrel rolls, high speed turns, flips, etc... they would execute, the more fun it was!! Working on the Skyhawk was simple, easy. When I went through maintenance training at Millington, TN, the Skyhawk was what we learned on. Egress AND Environmental systems were basic. Dependable too. I compare sitting/riding in the Skyhawk cockpit to the comfortable feeling of wearing a snuggly fitted glove. Definitely NOT an aircraft for a portly-built pilot! I think my most memorable ride was a hop, flying dogfight maneuvers with another USNTPS (US Navy Test Pilot School) aircraft. Think of the best roller coaster ride you've ever been on, times 100:salute:. Navy Chief

40mb? My first computer (except for my Timex - not a watch), was a Radio Shack laptop, with a 10mb hard drive......NC

Thanks for the tip. I had, a long time ago, downloaded the initial version of that program. Didn't know there was a new version. Now I need to relearn how to use it. NC
