  1. Am in full agreement with your views, plainsman. We might need a bit of historical retrospective here. Having been a pretty happy simmer since FS98, it's been interesting to see how every new version was accompanied by a chorus of criticism, much of it well-warranted -- maybe especially in the case of FSX, which never worked well without hours' of research and endless tweaking. Meanwhile a kind of silent majority got on with simming, enjoying the simple reality that -- whatever the bugs -- each new version came with a higher level of challenge and realism, more immersive visuals and flight dynamics, which usually meant upgrading one's system. At the same time, as each new sim appeared on the horizon I personally went thro' more or less the same routine..I'd feel, and say to myself, that I was really happy with my current sim and -- while I'd give the new one a try -- would be happy to stick with it, save myself the extra cost, etc. So for a while I'd keep both versions on my machine -- only after a while realising that I really wasn't interested in or flying the old sim, and delete it from my system. Exactly the same routine happened with my previous sim and MSFS 2020 -- holding on to the old sim for a while, returning to fly favourite aircraft. Except that while previous new versions were another step forward, this one was a pretty stunning leap -- brilliant graphics, worldwide scenery, impressive flight modelling and great performance, especially since SU5, without any real tweaking. Yes, it's buggy, but hey ... ! So, yes, I'm delighted that -- however it happened, pushed by marketing or whomever -- MS released it last August rather than wait.. And no, I have no shares in MS or any of the others ...
  2. Thanks, yes, solved the greyed-out button problem for me too.
  3. Another splendid offering the community from a top-notch designer. Thanks once again, Jan.
  4. With apologies to all who downloaded the first set (I've made some repaint boo-boos before, but nothing like that ... )
