Re: Xtreme FSX PC Request for feedback
I've found it, ICAO TE68. Thanks George, I only quoted nuggs and that particular C172 as a common reference point, so that a comparison of frames per second could be made under equal conditions. I'm trying to verify whether Xtreme FSX is as good as I think it is. I've always seen simming as a helpi...

Xtreme FSX PC Request for feedback
Hi All, Installed the above, and am personally happy with it, as it tripled my frame rates. I previously quoted some negative comments, but these turned out to be about FSX Booster, so I've edited them out. (Sorry) With everything maxed, I'm getting over 40fps. As it stands, I would have to give thi...

Re: Anybody smell smoke?
Scary stuff, couldn't believe that they allowed it to go untended for so long! The Flight Global article and previous posts give exactly why it was allowed to go "unattended" for the period it did. Reality was, fire crews were standing there waiting the entire time, so in fact, the entire...

Re: Anybody smell smoke?
Obviously to trained firefighters, there's a wealth of difference between "tending" and "acting", but to mere mortals, who did not even realize that this was a test, it appeared that things were being let go, following a widespread brake or bearing overheat. The precise meaning o...

Re: Anybody smell smoke?
I think I'd cack myself too! Fire is one of the few things which petrify (and strangely, fascinate) me. The tyres go with quite a pop don't they! (I don't know why I read this topic so quickly, must be the title and the fact I'm 4 days into giving up the fags!!) Well (Mr) Otter, being one of the ki...

Re: Anybody smell smoke?
Scary stuff, couldn't believe that they allowed it to go untended for so long! I wrote the following in my girlfriend's autograph book 45 years ago**, it immediately came to mind while watching: "A little fire is quickly trodden out; Which, being suffered, rivers cannot quench." William Sh...

Flight Sim eXperience Aus Roads Rivers & Mountains
Hi Fellows of the Yoke and pedal, Recently bought the above bundle for about $80AU. Unlike some, I mainly fly out of small local airfields. I have until now, been frustrated by the inaccuracies in roads etc which are very helpful in VFR. This is my very first attempt at photo upload, so with any luc...

Re: Cumbernauld Xtreme
The Horizon VFR has been promising a full Scotland for years. If the decide to go for Hi-res like the 'Isles', it will probably cost over 100 quid to cover, which will be silly. I never fly north of the border now (I hate FSX UK default scenery) and would love to see the Highlands in VFR. Hi Trev, ...

Re: BAC One-Eleven
I read these posts with a deal of interest. 747 is obviously a casual or new visitor (2 posts). He/she very likely does not have English as his first language, (mis-spelt "the" as "teh", but this could have been a finger slip, as few folks seem to check their spelling these days,...
