  1. Well...shame on me. it's guys like you I had to work through in school to learn. Just because I'm not as quick as others...some of those others perceive or communicate to me as though I'm thick. Perhaps I am a little thick but I can tell you for sure that once I get it...I get it good. You see...I am struggling just to understand all this and where the information in a thread resides so I am fighting many levels trying to get to the bottom line. All I want to do is install a plane not learn to engineer space vehicles. Here's the thing though...I appreciate you taking the time to get back and give me some insight, even though I don't really see it yet. You seem like someone who likes to beat down those who have trouble learning so...don't bother with me anymore. I'll find the answers elsewhere. If I want to be scolded, I'll go to a site that specializes in that. Thanks anyway.
  2. Hello StringBean. I was sent to you by Mr Zippy. Sorry...try not to blame him. I am an FSX-SE user and have approximately 700 hours of simulation time. I am kind of burning out on my current aircraft and have been attempting, and I stress (attempting), to download and install a few new aircraft programs. In the year plus I've had FSX-SE I've been successful only once in installing an aircraft and that was only because it had an .exe install icon. All of the other aircraft I have downloaded, I have followed the (read me) instructions to the T but no luck. I don't even get far enough to see the choice of aircraft in the Free Flight/Current Aircraft/Change link. Mr Zippy replied to me and said that installing aircraft in FSX-SE is much more complicated than most of the (read me) files explain and that you were the go to guy on this one. When and if you have time...could you please shed some light on this for me? I would sure appreciate the knowledge. Thank you. Dave R
  3. I have been flying the P-51D. Can anyone tell me or know why Microsoft programed this plane to be so finicky? If you get into it to aggressively the engine will catch on fire. It's a very frustration plane to fly. In the real world this plane was supposed to take as much abuse as it was technically made for. Any thoughts out there? Thanks. DR
  4. So here's one for someone out there that I would be interested in what you think. I have been doing a flight from KJFK (any runway) To KLGA runway 13. No matter what plane I do it in when I do a full NAV/ILS approach at KLGA runway 13 it puts me at about a 5% angle to the right of the runway. If I don't correct by hand at least a mile out it will be a missed approach. Actually I crash into a bunch of buildings. Now...when I do the same approach/same runway 13 and do GPS only...the plane goes straight down the runway. The only difference is the GPS approach I have to control the glide slope by hand but that's okay with me. Sometimes it's better to keep up on controlling the plane by hand. I still have not mastered speed/altitude and compass positioning on approach and it's been 6 months easy. I fly everyday. The first two months about 4 to 6 hours a day. Yes I am semi retired. So in my mind I think this ILS approach to KLGA runway 13 being off is a programming glitch. I have Steam FSX. Any thoughts out there? Thanks. Dave R
  5. Hello. Is there any version of this Multi Function Display that has a "Vertical Deviation Display" as part of it? Thanks. Dave R
