Classic British Flight Sim

And it was going so well... 35 minutes or so in on what I was hoping would be a longer flight I was just thinking I needed to pause the sim to go to the tip when along came a CTD to solve that particular problem. I had renamed the community folder and sure enough only default content was available. ...

No worries Nigel. The Gladiator is still gathering dust so the same offer to anyone else who is short of a joystick or 3. I have the X56 and find that it works very well and with more than enough buttons, switches and sticky out bits to almost remove the need to use the keyboard.

Is anyone else getting regular CTD's in MSFS? It's the permissions error and with the same MSFS process each time. I've run diagnostics on the RAM with no issues. I've dialled back on the settings to reduce stress on the system. All that I achieved was to delay the onset of the CTD.

Good to hear you're enjoying VR in XP Nigel. I hate to say it but you have to try MSFS. I get similar performance in both but MSFS graphics shades XP with Ortho tiles. I've downloaded the latest World update, which I'm looking forward to trying but for various reasons, mainly work, I've not had the ...

Who said Octopus were 'armless.

Hi Nigel, sorry it has taken so long to reply... I spent that weekend re-grouting a patio, which meant that I was then barely able to move for the next 5 days! The joys of getting old(er) eh. I did a quick flight in XP using the Quest 2. Launching XP using Steam VR was problematic in that whilst res...
