Points being welded

When I told it not to! Here's the problem - left shows the modelling tool (3D Canvas), right shows the FS9 VC I'm using 2 .X files, one exterior, one interior and MakeMDL.

Re: ACES team reforming...?

When I met them a couple of years ago now, most of the ACEs team I met were relatively new to the product - I'm guessing the team had grown a lot. ESP was announced at that conference and Train Sim 2 was being discussed a year before that so they did have a lot on their plates. Adrian Woods had been...

I get a pretty much fixed 100fps (with occasional dip to 85) with the coaster demo, with all options on absolute max, including the advanced and other (190 drivers) The specs of your machine look better than mine - were you ru...

Re: Elegant Beta testing ;)

I'll be back onto it very shortly, school hols and a camping trip to North wales (near llanbedr) meant I was tied up for August. The VC and FSX versions have progressed a bit but there is still a lot of fine tuning to do. I've also been busy making a lot of targets and old soviet SAM systems for FSX...

Re: British yes, Classic yes but Aeroplane not...

I agree, a classic flying brit.
Fewer of them these days than in my youth, though I found hundreds in Barmouth last week.

The Painted Lady is a visitor to these shores so technically not a brit :)
