Re: I Don't mean to bore you but.......

Cheers, Dave - it was too good a chance to miss... :worried: :) I am staying with the Flat Earthers, because my FS9 just has too much B,S &T invested in it to be simply abandoned. FSX is capable of great things and I will move to it one day, but I am pretty sure I will still have an FS9 machine ...

Re: I Don't mean to bore you but.......

:o FS9 comes with AI shipping? I do have some shipping installed, in the Humber and between the Thames and Falmouth, but none of it is default. (Insert suitable anti-Sassenach 'outside the M25 ring' comment) :lol: If memory serves, there used to be (?FS2000 ?2002) an add-on with all the CalMac Ferri...

Re: I Don't mean to bore you but.......

Hi Jim - Iain Gallacher created an accurate Scottish coastline for his FSX Scotflight, and I believe that it will be made available for the FS9 one too, when Iain gets the time to squeeze it in to his schedule. I am looking forward to it, eagerly. I use the ukn part of Andy Weir's mesh, because I ha...

Re: Horizon.

Hi NigelC - I can't use real weather because my satellite link is not up to it. In both my FS9.1 installations I use a combination of Custom Weather and FSUIPC (the full registered version). This gives me a nice ground haze effect for bimbling along between 6000'-8000'. I am quite sure that can be e...

Re: Odd behaviour of FS9

Nigel - Don't know if you have tried it, but I have been using this freeware for well over a year now and am very happy with its performance WRT cost, speed and apparent effectiveness. http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag/download Windows Defrag is an absolute shambles - even if you run ...

Re: Converting to British Boost

Cheers, Paul - I had a look around the 'Net this morning. You have probably been everywhere I went already, but having found the 100 was used in the Short Seaford, which became the Solent, I had a look for Solent handling instructions and found this page: http://www.forjets.netfirms.com/page8.html A...

Re: Converting to British Boost

Hi Paul - Funnilynuff, that very same question was answered on CalClassic the other day: British Boost pressure gauges read in PSI and can be converted by adding 14.7 for the standard atmosphere at sea level and multiplying by 2.04. The reverse of the equation works for the opposite conversion. (Div...
