Glad to hear that you are recovering ok.

Hang in there and reading the posts.

Roy would send me animal pictures at Christmas and they were so life like. I sure miss him.

Oh WOW So sorry to hear all of that. I hope for a speedy recovery for you and you get back to doing your favorite pastime.

Thanks for the link TG. I have seen the 7700 from GA, airliners, C-130 and F-35. That sure explains a lot.

Don

I know this is outside flight sim questions but I have a question about Flightradar24.

I have been using it for quite a while and it gives you 7700 squawks. They are from all over the world. I can't believe there are as many planes in trouble as I have seen. I have seen airlines, GA and one today from a F-35. Are there any other people that have this app and have they noticed this and do they have any comments?

Don

I was just curious as why there is so much interest into how many airline types are made compared to the GA. The airlines seem to be used as to start a flight climb to a FL and go to bed and get up in the morning to make the landing.

The GA would seem to be more fun flying into different airports and exploring the world. Also the training would help out if you are really serious about getting PPL.

With the shortage of pilots now that would be an encouragement to get a license and with the possible reduction in the need to have 1500 hours. I know the cost of training is going up but some of the airlines are now offering pilot training.

Just curious.

Got a question for you guys.

Do you have the statue in the New York harbor?

I thought I had it at one time but not now. I have FS2004 and some add-ons for the airports.

Thanks

Don

I just wondered how many flyers use the tower option to see where you are flying over? I think it is pretty neat.

It is actually called autower. My mistake.

Well I seem to have the problem fixed. I don't know if the compatibility change did it for sure.

I have a Acer laptop I5 with a 1T ssd which replaced a 1T HD after it would not boot. I copied the whole FS folder over from the bad HD. The guy that installed the ssd said I should reinstall the FS after the drive was replaced. I am not into the fs as serious as some. I just like flying the GA type planes locally around Pa. I didn't know anything about the sound thing. That is interesting. I have a Dell XP laptop that I can fly using the FS on a backup hd. It works but the graphics are not as good as the Acer abut there was not the hesitation like the Acer before the compatibility change.

Thanks for the reply.

Oh BTW thanks to all who made a suggestion as how to fix the problem. I appreciate it.

Don

Well I took the laptop to the guy that installed the ssd and he only said to reinstall the fs. Great since I don't have a cd to use!!!!!

So maybe they will rent me one.

So I bring the laptop home and run the game and now it works with a very slight hesitation. I think it did that before. The guy changed the compatibility mode and maybe that was the problem and I didn't think of it.

So now I can get my happyness back!!!!!
