Thankyou , Peter -
I always wondered what they meant by that. So if I set imposter_range _radius (or whatever it is) to =0, they will disappear?

Cheers

Re: Nice job by US Air Captain

Thanks, Nigel, I had been wondering about the fuel load. Mind you, there is no reason why an unbroken pressure hull wouldn't float. I think they still use superannuated DC-9s as river ferries in Indonesia (without the wings, of course :$ ) This is a magnificent feat of airmanship, and an excellent p...

Re: Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000

Hi Tom - A few years ago, when I was being a friendly help person, I had a client who bought one of these for her HP desktop, one of those home entertainment centre things. It was an absolute bu**er to get working, because the instructions were so poorly written. I added some notes to the instructio...

Re: HS 748 - curious.....

maybe your looking for the hitech airplane thread :) :) No Thanks - I believe the expression 'airplane' comes from a form of language used in the earlier Colony, and as such should be utterly cryit doon and forsworn. I greatly enjoy using the HS748 and the Vanguard, and have even been known to use ...

Re: AlacrityPC - Release Resources Before Flying

Cheers, Chris - I have been using this for a while now, as an alternative to FS Autostart. It can get a bit confused by the oddities of my setup, but I could easily sort that by telling it to restart the machine on exit, instead of just bringing the various apps and processes back online. I particul...

Re: HS 748 - curious.....

adenda... I have an idea that the systems that require voltage to make them work , are wired to a panel,...., or fuss box, ;-) Isn't that the part of the CVR system which is always yelling stuff like 'Sink Rate!', 'No Gear!', 'Pull Up, Pull Up!' just when you need to concentrate on landing the beas...

Re: Is it a Star...no its a Comet (DH106)

Hi Mike Isn't it good that the payware people are making 'Classics'? John Ha ha and yes I am in marketing ;-) Cheers, John - I don't mean it is necessarily a bad thing. It just doesn't seem to be the best business decision, when you consider that (a) there is a limited number of 'classics' to be dr...

Re: Is it a Star...no its a Comet (DH106)

Well, I suppose that is what happens when the Marketing People are allowed to take control of the asylum. As Sam Goldwyn said, "Include me out". Is anyone from AH able to explain why their offering is better than Dave Maltby's? It's nearly New Year down here, so I wish a happy and successf...
