UPHILL3

Looks like old and some new Manhattan combined?

D/L'ed it last night and installed it today - but then I discovered there was never an operating manual written for that Warthog(?) - obtained the necessary key strokes via a Google search though... I also D/L a few other Iris freebees, which I thank them for...

In 1979, it was thought that Munson's knees were giving out and that his catching days were numbered. It was thought he might go to either first base (dubious), or catch on occasion. This was way before the DH.

 

I myself become a staunch Yankee fan around 1960 after the Brooklyn Dodgers, (my hometown back then) flew the coop. I've stuck with the Yanks in the really bad years, (CBS ownership) and have been rewarded with some incredible years.

 

I was working nights in the NYPD 911 center when I heard the Munson news...

I seem to remember media reports from back then that Munson's aircraft was a Lear jet(?). I even recall from other reports that a Lear was not a plane for an inexperienced pilot (such as Munson) to fly. Perhaps back in '79, everyone thought a business jet was a Lear?

Re: SimMarket free Phantom - they seem to still be changing for it - unless time expired on it as a freebee?

Some really nice shots! I switched to FSX-Steam in Nov. of 2015 when I purchased a desktop gaming rig: So that was the last time I flew on FS9. But it's still on my PC...

I think the best advice to finally beat this little critter is to assume EVERYONE around you is infected (even without symptoms). And that you YOURSELF may be infected as well. So extreme caution should be the M/O in this silent Spring...

Nice shots! But you forgot to exchange the landing gear wheels for skis...

Ya, but unfortunately for you buddy boy, you're gonna have to stay SIX FEET APART the whole time!!!

I think everyone, and I mean everyone in the U.S. and around the world must assume they may be infected, or someone they know may have the big "C" virus. With this in mind, the danger lurks every where. You don't want to possible kill your mother, father, brother, sister, grandma, or best friend! And they don't want to kill you, (we hope). The virus may also reside on inert surfaces for hours or even days: So also be aware what you touch!

 

So, do not mingle or congregate! Let's get this really bad movie over with.

Someone once said "Youth is wasted on the young".

 

Everyone, try to stay safe - and Don't Congregate!

Maybe Brad Pitt will star in the sequel, "World War C"

 

And hey, Millennials out there. Stop that congregating! - It's Six Feet Apart for you all! You don't want kill grandma, do ya?

Behold, a Pale Horse...

 

Yeah, and they also ran out of toilet paper as well...

 

 

Everyone stay safe, and remember: Elbows only!

I find that in the TDS 787 for FSX, the three models all have a different problem: The center of gravity seems to be off, constantly pitching the nose up, even at cruising altitude. This leads to a constant steam of condensation from the wing tips. Trying to fix the C of G with different fuel or cargo configurations has no real effect on it.

What amazes me over the last few years is that very few members here seem to have installed Windows 8 to run their flight sim app. They seem to want to hang on to #7 like Linus's blanket.

 

I did, in fact, install Win 8 and FS9 ran OK - until I bought a gaming PC with Win 10 pre-installed - except for Win 10 intrusive updates every so often, FSX has had very few issues...

Ahhh. Very cool pics... So, anyone need another Mai Tai?

This is a generalization, but anyone still using FS9 probably has little chance of taking a quantum leap to ever installing the upcoming MSFS 2020 version. It will probably require a rather serious gaming PC costing mucho $$$ to fly with that new baby...

You should have plenty of time to input a designated ILS frequency after receiving flight plan ATC runway designation...

Yes, go with no-hassle FSX-Steam. I installed it four years ago and have no regrets (never had the Gold edition). Steam (Dovetail Games) even has an an app that will check FSX files for errors and repair them for you at no fee. Besides all that, the Steam version reduces some of the quirks inherent in the Discs.

 

In the meantime, I'd bide my time until "2020" is released...

Ok - who let the dogs out???*%$@#!!!

If you wish to actually utilize the DX10 feature, you need to purchase a low cost app made by "SteveFX". Just Google it. DX10 allows you to adjust several different areas involving FSX graphics, and somewhat enhances the FSX experience... Oh, and the ghosting goes away.

Perhaps it's the lack of news coverage, but you hardly ever hear of a glider crash, even a fatal one. Is it actually, as stated above, that glider pilots know they have but one chance to land safely and they are hyper-cautious? Or are there more accidents than we know about? BTW, does the NTSB ever investigate one, or it only for powered-flight aircraft?

Lake Okeechobee may look really impressive but it's mostly only 12 feet deep (not even 4 meters). What is really impressive though: It's home to almost 30,000 alligators - not a good swimming hole...

 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!

"Honest" and "Businessman"? Are they not mutually exclusive?

Now would be the time for a good tip to avoid losing Licensing keys, and then having to go thru the hassle of recovering them from payware developers:

 

Copy and paste the key and order #: Then type-in the payware name (and perhaps the vendor) to a single word processor file, or document file as soon as you make a purchase - all your payware keys will now be in one place, hopefully forever (Make a backup of the file to another disc or thumbdrive).
