  1. Did you actually put the folders in the Add-On Scenery folder or did you just move the individual files? Your phrasing indicated you put the folders in there. If so, you must go through the procedures to add each folder to the Scenery Library. If you only copied files in there, they should work.
  2. Probably the biggest help to me is that I mostly fly multiplayer with a friend of 40 years, who I used to fly for in the '70s. We fly different areas (a lot of it in ORBX, but not all), fly a lot of formation, put on airshows for each other, comment on the various things we see, often relating them to the real world, enjoying the scenery and looking for small strips we've not been to before, etc. Also, we've collaborated on making an add-on or two for ourselves, enhanced various airports, etc.
  3. This FAQ is about flying techniques and real aviation matters. Many answers have been pulled from the existing FAQs and from the forums , where a lot of good information has been posted by many experienced pilots and flight instructors. Don't forget to check out the See also line at the bottom of many of these pages. The idea is to collect all this into one place, for easier reference. I'd also like to add a note that is at the bottom of the menu page for this FAQ: Note: Throughout this FAQ, there are a number of highlighted terms, or links, that when clicked will give a definition or additional reference. These terms also appear in the Glossary section below. For most of these terms, you can get more detailed (and often much more complete) information by searching for that same term in Wikipedia at: Wikipedia Main Page (English). There is a search box on the left side of this Wikipedia main page. Another good source of real world information is the FAA's online Aeronautical Information Manual, or AIM. And you can get numerous FAA references at the FAA's Regulations & Policies site. If you just want the FARs ( Federal Aviation Regulations ) you may click on the highlight at left. 14 CFR Parts 61 and 91 contain the most important regulations for pilots, though many others are pertinent. And you can go to the AOPA's web site for current information on aviation, along with some good information on learning to fly (Training and Safety tab). I'd also like to make this request, as I've done on the first page of the FAQ: If anyone has suggestions on more categories, or on rearrangement of what is here, please bring it up first in the "discussion" tab, or PM me on flightsim.com forums. This is far from all inclusive, and I'd love to see it expanded beyond what I can do alone. Larry
  4. Sorry I didn't see this sooner:

     

    "hi thee can u help me i have plobles whit aproching minims call out a dont have in in any plane in fsx"

     

    I'm not sure I understand what you're asking, but if it's something about a "call out" voice in the cockpit, you're asking the wrong person. Airliners and their systems aren't my bag.

  5. Continued from previous:

     

    I haven't heard anything about either JJ or Doc since I left Forbes. But Al Cooper went to Ellsworth (in missiles) after leaving the 55th. And I met another 55th guy in the late '70s who was working in downtown Denver and living in Ft. Lupton -- his name escapes me at the moment, though, as I've not seen him since.

     

    Feel free to drop me a note at lfn@comcast.net (that first character is a lowercase L), and/or to call at 303-255-2199. I'm currently living just off I-25 in northern Westminster (a northern Denver suburb), near 144th & Huron.

  6. Dave,

     

    I just now discovered this PM, after sending the previous PM. I spent all my 55th time at Forbes. It was kind of ironic, in that when I was a kid in Abilene, TX, and Dyess AFB was new, they had an open house where I got to see the B-47 up close, even looking into the cockpit. I fell in love with the airplane, made plastic models of it, and I still think it's one of the prettiest aircraft ever made, much more so than the B-52. The ironic part is that a few years later I was actually working on them.

     

    Curious about you being in ABQ -- I lived there from 1971 to 1982, when I got promoted and AT&T moved me to the Denver area. I flew out of Coronado Airport. In 1974 I started towing gliders (part time, of course) for Pegasus Aerial Sports and, when Pegasus branched out into flight training I instructed for them as well. Lotta good memories there. Is The Barn still there? The wife and I enjoyed going there occasionally.
