Re: RTW Leg10 (almost!)...

I hate when that happens to me, I forget to switch over before the current tanks run out and even though I switch over I can never get the engines going again before something bad happens. I did finally try editing the route in the flight planner, you just have to drag the route to a 'point' on the ...

Re: RTW Leg10 (almost!)...

Oh no, tragic ending to a great flight. You're not going to start again from near where the last flight 'ended'?
Great pics by the way.

Re: New PC

Hardware has moved on so much, I'd not know where to start. One thing though.. should you ever consider going to P3D, I'd look at a 4gb rather than a 2gb card :cpu: ATB DaveB B)smk Agree completely, about 4+ years ago I upgraded to a high end gaming laptop and skimped on the video card, getting a 2...

Re: ORBIX FTX Base on sale

Sorry Joe, don't have an answer for you. I tried it with the same configuration you described and only problem I had is that FTX Central did not recognise the P3D folder, it did not crash.

Joystick Flap Axis

Just a small issue. I have been trying to program one of the leavers on my joystick to be the flaps axis, and it kinda works but only seams to go from 25% flaps to 75% flaps and I don't know if anyone else has any experience with it. I finally got my hands on a saitek USB throttle quadrant and was l...

Re: ORBIX FTX Base on sale

Joe, are you running p3d 3.3 or 3.4, I had problems with 3.4 but worked ok with 3.3, but then it just failed to recognise it and did not crash. To be honest, I have no advice except download a fresh copy and re-install in a fresh location.

Re: New PC

If you want to recycle your memory and you have at least 8gb then that's not a bad idea. FSX is very CPU intensive but not very GPU intensive so you don't have to go nuts there, a latest generation i5 or i7 should be plenty fast for FSX. If you ever plan on trying P3D then go for the top end video c...

Re: Orbx & Paypal

I have always preferred on line payments using paypal, I would rather send the seller a specific amount of money rather than giving them my card number and hope they pull the right amount, and only use it once. Granted I use online credit cards a lot, but when I have the choice, I use paypal. I used...
