  1. Confucius say, "5 minutes after a fabulous build, Intel will release a better CPU"
  2. In FSX Freemium 757 by Just Flight is not a PMDG level study sim but pretty good for the money. Comes in BA and AA liveries. https://www.justflight.com/product/757-jetliner-freemium
  3. This was interesting and relevant. RAM speeds compared.
  4. This forum contains threads right up your street https://calclassic.proboards.com/board/8/vintage-flying there are tutorials in their also for how to use primitive navigation. Bit of a search there and found this I plan on doing it too if I can find the time https://calclassic.proboards.com/thread/9394/creation-inaugural-flight-china-clipper
  5. A more accurate and meaningful graph would be the retention factor. 20 - 25 year olds may be higher but how many stick with it? I have been a MSFS follower since FS4 whenever that was and I am 65 now and have had every version (including 3 types of FSX and 5 P3d's) since excepting 2020 as I now cannot afford the PC upgrade being decrepit and poor and refuse to be a paying beta tester. :D
  6. I think it was Churchill or maybe Stalin who said, 'great scenery does not a flight simulator make' :D. Anyway I have seen enough to a have had the decision made for me, I won't be bothering until all the obvious bugs have been worked out. I've been an avid MSFS user since v5.1 having bought every single iteration of the sim including FSXm FSX Gold and FSXSE now its cousin P3d 1 thru' 5. Clearly the public are being duped/used as testers on this occasion. Be honest. Maybe a year from now I will revisit the possibility of this purchase.
  7. This fellow is Dutch and very informative https://msfs2020.wordpress.com/
  8. Sheesh! I find myself going backwards having a great experience in FS2004 (heavily modded of course).
  9. I have 3 X 21" monitors - wondering if Pseudo Full Screen works with MSFS2020. In FSX & P3D I run in windowed mode with PseudoFS thereby allowing me to free up 2 screens for PlanG' moving map and Weather and other utilities.
  10. I like how you think! Meanwhile can any suggest where I might obtain replacement tubes for my Marconi radio set. It's top notch tech.
  11. Tornado was hard meeting the strict timings on missions. Was also a pain constantly tinkering with the config.sys and autoexec.bat files to free up as much of the base 640k memory as possible. Then along cams Falcon 3 and the game changed. Remarkable that the bones of that sim still exist in Falcon BMS.
  12. Nope no idea who Simon is/was. Forums were not a thing back then only bulletin boards and such like. FS.com didn't even exist I think probably. I go back to a Sinclair Spectrum running a flight sim by a company called Psion which was possibly a rip off of one of the early FlightLogic sims. B&W wire graphics and very small world to fly within. :-) Then graduated to the first iteration of Falcon on an Amiga. Didn't get a PC until '94 when I saw FS5.1 at a neighbors house and was stunned by its graphics. :-o Had every MSFS since then. Doubt I will be buying MS2020 in the immediate future though. Retirement and finances restricting on new equipment to run it. :-(
  13. Tried it in FSXSE - works fine looks great, very small anomaly (flicker) re layering with something else, probably Ultimate Terrain or FTX Global. It's a keeper as and when I go to CYWG.
  14. https://simtoolkitpro.co.uk/ could be the way of the future. At the moment it is still in development but functional and it is Free and the state it will remain so. Recent useful YT video goes through the whole thing which is extensive.
  15. Wonder who is brave enough to see if it works in FSX or above? Asking for a friend.
  16. It is not the whole aircraft, just textures. You have to track down the original which I assume is a POSKY offering though the read me does not specify.
  17. I like the look back articles. None posted for June thus far on the start page. Hope it isn't to be discontinued.
  18. Go toi Avsim search for pseudo_full_screen.zip Works a treat in FSX and XP11 and Skyrim lol, so I see no reason for it not to work on an earlier sims.
  19. SOH is the place to go, there is a regurgitated thread started up this very week. SimOuthouse. YOu may have to join up, though it i free,
  20. I would recommend seeking out Radar Contact v4 which used to be a commercial program but illness meant the developer decided to let it go for free - It may be available here or Avsim. Then seek out voicepacks under the title of Meatwater (10 files) again probably here. It is really a superior replacement of the standard FSX ATC but it does provide the said voices you want.
  21. I am taking advantage of the current quarantine to actually learn the programming of the FMC's in Level D and my PMDG. Something which has taken me almost 17 years to get around to doing. :)
  22. Uninspiring though This site can’t be reachedwww.flightgear.org took too long to respond. Try: Checking the connection Checking the proxy and the firewall Running Windows Network Diagnostics ERR_TIMED_OUT
