I get the feeling that a whole lot of us dedicated flight sim users and developers are in the AARP club, that is to say, over the age of 50.

This is very good, indeed!

Their BE99 was by far my favorite. Spent lots of hours hauling virtual freight from Opa Locka to various islands in the Bahamas.

Yeah, he likes to trade paint, but only when it serves his purpose. These kids need to learn that this is a part of NASCAR short track racing. By the way, my wife and I both think that the Xfinity...

Just for giggles, I went to PCPartPicker and spec'ed out a system that is a duplicate of what I currently use. According to PCPartPicker, I need a 414 watt PSU, yet my system came with a 750 watt...

I watched the end of the Cup race. It was a wild last lap.

Very much so.

NASCAR should be an acronym for National Association of Super Car Auto Racing because the "Stock" was replaced by completely non-stock, custom built cars several decades ago.

That was funny!

Guess we will see what these developers who abandon P3D in favor of MSFS do when the X-box gamers get tired of MSFS and stop buying and playing it.

MSFS is still a work in progress. It's a high beta and it may be the better platform when finished, assuming it ever is finished. Until then, I am also sticking with FSX and eyeing P3Dv5 as a...

I think it's great that Dino has placed works that he no longer wishes to support into freeware status instead of just deleting them from future availability.

Ed,

A. Sad that you will be taking a hiatus from FSX scenery making.
B. Glad that you have this new opportunity.
C. Sad that it involves a really long commute.
D. Thank you for the scenery you...

Might be time for FSX Steam Edition. I went the Steam Edition route with this new computer, not regretting it either.

Sometimes TrackIR software can be finicky and wants TIR to be the last USB device to be plugged into the computer. I've had it fail to run a few times in FSX, the solution was to unplug the TIR from...

I remember reading about them back in the 1970's and initially not understanding how they were made. It's a pretty ingenious thing which saved weight and freed aluminum for use in structural...

This has been going on for over a week now, Steam needs to update the certificate. Until then, we will be seeing the message pop up during loading.

I will likely stay with FSX Steam Edition until MSFS is finished. I'm just not that fond of paying to be a beta tester and the frustration of a broken sim after an update sounds like the sort of...

You can always keep FSX on your current computer and buy a laptop for the financial stuff.

Probably will be. So far, from what I gather, Windows 11 brings more security features which tend to take up a lot of CPU cycles, a new user interface, the return of widgets, better connectivity...

Wow! That sim just won't die, will it? And for good reason. I spent many, many hours flying the offline campaigns back around the turn of the century. Left for the Il-2 series when I joined an...

Considering MS no longer supports FSX, yet when you install it on a new system it requires activation and that installing on modern operating systems, FSX Steam Edition is actually a better option. ...

The Steam Edition included many of the "tweaks" that you used to have to perform to the sims's cfg file. There were also some fixes for how FSX handles memory, so crashes due to FSX running out of...

With my new computer I made the switch from boxed FSX Acceleration to FSX Steam Edition. Installation was a breeze, although I do recommend installing it a directory other than C:\Program Files...

Thank you and I have downloaded them!
