Where have all the Pilots gone?

When I joined the Statistics page of the VA would have shown about ten pilots flying various amounts of flights each month. This number has gradually dwindled, last month there were only TWO pilots on the stats page, three so far this month. There is a significant chance that I might not get to log ...

Re: Happy Birthday adysmith

Using MSFS on an XBOX fly a circuit at Liverpool (EGGP) in the Cessna 152. This year they all (31 of them) completed the circuit to various standards. Last year three of them didn't make it to the far end of the runway on take off and one got completely lost! My candidate came ninth, she thought she...

Re: Monitor issue

I dropped the FSX resolution down to 1024*768 then plugged the big monitor in. FSX is now running on the big monitor (although we have lost the sound but that is a minor inconvenience) even though the native resolution for the big monitor is 1920*1080. I suspect the PC graphics card is getting very ...

Re: Monitor issue

Yep, in the FSX settings for display resolution someone has set a setting that is higher than the maximum resolution of the monitor.
Nothing should have been changed on the PC, I am supposed to be the only one who is allowed to meddle with it, but I will try that and see what happens.

Monitor issue

I am a CI at our local RAFAC squadron. One of our flight sims has recently thrown a wobbly. It is old, WIN7 and FSX. Runs windows just fine on a LARGE monitor, but if you start FSX then, after the initial config screen, when I click "Fly Now" it goes blank with a message along the lines of...

It's fixed on FSA but the statistics page here on CBFS still has the penalty and the poor adjusted rating score :'(

Re: PC Dying

Well I "regued" the CPU fan a while ago, it still ran the same high (100degrees) temperatures and slow frame rates. I phoned the company that made the PC (about ten years ago!) and the guy on the phone was incredibly helpful despite the machine age. HE remoted in and tried assorted things ...
