  1. In my FSX.cfg, the PageID is already set to "1" But I still get the annoying screen every time. I have FSX-STEAM if that makes a difference?
  2. Wow! The scenery on top of Catalina Island is just a little different than when I first landed there with MS FS Version 2 in 1984:)
  3. Thank God the're only virtual drunk pilots! But really good pics and story line...
  4. I think you need to get a better virus app than Defender: There are several good virus protection apps (some with perhaps a trial period) you can download for free, and several more for purchase.
  5. There are numerous flights in FSX where there could be many course changes if you select waypoint navigation. This is esp. true in mountainous areas of countries, and perhaps more so upon take-off or decent. I just "flew" from Anchorage (ANC) to Seattle (SEA)and there were at least 6 course deviations (from a straight-line flight option).
  6. The same reason, say, a whole bunch of people still prefer talking on land lines. I for one have not used FS9 since the end of 2015 when bought a gaming rig and switched to FSX. But FS9 was about the best sim out there at the time, but then something cooler came along...
  7. My opinion ONLY, but like FSLabs, licensing paranoia abounds at PMDG ..
  8. It was around the Summer of 1978 and I was lying on the sand of Manhattan Beach in NYC. Heard the sound of a jet engine above me - looked up and beheld the delta wings of a Concorde making the turn from JFK heading to Europe - it could not have been more than 2000 feet above me?
  9. Given the the many eons it would take those monkeys to duplicate the complete works of Bill Shakespeare, they probably would have evolved into humanoids along the way...
  10. Glad to see that the Asobo Team finally restored Meigs Field...
  11. I have more than 120Gs of aircraft in my FSX files, plus loads of scenery, so I don't really care if new freeware is becoming rather scarce. D/L was becoming almost my obsession...
  12. Welcome aboard! Unfortunately, don't known if your current rig will do justice to any current flight sim? Perhaps you should consider a lower-end gaming PC to start with that includes at least some minimum specs (as listed on the sim you choose).
  13. 20 minutes at 63 MPH?: All for 83 grand? If anyone lives that close to work, get a really hot-looking car for those $$$...
