Work in progress or not, I've been having a blast flying the Lodestar! Looking forward to all the updates and paints to come, but for now I'm really enjoying this bird.

Thanks Milton and everyone...

Nigel, those textures are, quite simply, breathtaking. I honestly believe that's the finest work I've seen.

Nothing, NOTHING, smells better than an airplane. Especially small GA.

Payday for me is not until Feb. 2, but you can count on me again on that date. SOH is by far the best Flight Sim site.

At long last I tried FSX last night and rather like it. I have a couple of questions that would have been asked and answered 8 years ago (better late than never?):

1. I really dislike virtual...

Thanks, Tom. That's exactly what I did so I could avoid cutting and pasting the preferred settings that would have been lost. I also had a heck of a time finding my FS9 config. I must have deleted it...

Thank you, Andy. I'd completely forgotten about the config.sys. I deleted the default aircraft and let FS9 build a new file. Everything's up and running again and without altering all the other...

Help. I installed a panel yesterday that seems to set "engines off" on every FS9 aircraft I have. Worse, some aircraft, mainly jets, will not even start. I'm fairly certain the since deleted panel...

I bought this to replace my Saitek AV8R. The AV8R is a good stick, but I like the Thrustmaster much more. One BIG improvement, for me at least, is taxiing is much easier with the TM than on any stick...

Yeah. BRAIN PHART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I plead old age. You're both exactly right. I don't know what I was - or wasn't - thinking.

Thank you mucho,
Bob

Mouse clicks in the ATC window does not work. There's no way to contact/answer ATC and I've yet to find a solution or workaround. All of the keys, at least, work properly as do mouse clicks. Except...

The AlphaSim may be long in the tooth, but I still fly her often. So, YES, please post all your creations.

Sorry to take so long getting back. I should have mentioned I'm using a laptop, BUT taking the advice I restored the default keys and it's back to working perfectly again. A simple little fix had I...

The following work: F6, F7, G, P.

The Following DO NOT work: ESC, W, Enter & Backspace for changing eye-point, S.

Those are the only ones that come to mind, but there are others not working....

I have a Gigabyte 970-D3 and an AMD 970BE. Neither have been used, just residing in their respective boxes and gathering dust. I had intended to build a new rig, but made the move to Intel so these...

I briefly looked at Cyberpower and they offer Win7 64bit Professional @ $135.00. I didn't look elsewhere on the assumption that, as they are fairly typical, Win7 Pro should be available. Win7 Pro is...

Thanks for the heads-up! I'll have to keep an eye on the progress. I've always liked the CL-44 and a new FS9/FSX model would be most welcome.

I've never done that with scenery, but traffic between my "off FS9 hangar" and live aircraft can, at times, rivaled Atlanta. UKV, do you copy what you want before opening FS9, or is it possible to do...

Thanks, patful, that did the trick. I'd looked there, but missed it.

I use Win 7 with Firefox 27 (I don't think I've got FF28 yet) and up until yesterday if I downloaded something, a popup window would confirm then an arrow on the right side of the toolbar, next to...

I was in 6th grade. My Dad had just retired from the Army. I remember the drill consisting of everyone filing into the hallways, sitting down with backs to the wall and heads between the knees.

...

I had lots of FS9 planes, scenery, etc. plus a few FSX items on my old XP rig when it died. I copied everything to a new laptop and desktop by buying USB cables from Amazon. I had one old SATA and...

Using FS9 at the moment.

I've yet to buy REX 4 for FSX or GEPRO FSX. That is soon since I wouldn't be without either program.

I found the screen for FS9 REX and GEPRO and that's what I was...

I bought and installed these fine programs a couple of years ago and, near as I can tell, they are still installed and working. Both had screens to allow the "customization" of their features. My...

Up until a couple of years ago I was an AMD fan. That changed with my first Intel CPU the i7 3770K. I'm now using an i7 4770K overclocked to 4.2ghz. When AMD ceased trying to be the bestest and...
