Classic British Flight Sim

Given a choice I would go back to XP. Vista seems to be very unstable, I have had more lock-outs and "x is no longer responding" messages than I like to think. The thing that really irks is the list of problems Vista has encountered and their possible solutions. Most solutions don't exist ...

I was in the Army in the sixties and we used to crowd round one of the few radios and listen avidly to Round the Horn, the Goon Show and Hancock. Forces Family Favourites were very popular when we were overseas with many a rude comment being made when one of 'our' lot got a mention. Funnily enough, ...

As we saw it we had a number of choices,1) sit tight and hope the morons get bored and go away, 2) start agitating with the powers that be or, 3) do as some of our neighbours did and that was to send a couple of lads with baseball bats after the cretins. We chose the second option and got the whole ...

I should have said that we laughed like drains at the lovely sarcasm of your piece Graham and alwlays look forward to your funnies.

Keep up the good work, laughter is almost the only thing that we can enjoy tax-free!

Oh happy days......................... A couple of years ago we had to watch a gang of 15 neanderthals smashing up our brand new £3000 greenhouse whilst the local police took 2 hours to bother attending by which time the mob had gone back to their cave to refresh on booze, blood or fast food. The ir...

Thanks to everyone for all the advice and suggestions. This is what I have done so far; Replaced the RAM with the original 4 x 512MB items; this made no change at all to the operation of either FS9 orFSX so I changed back again to the new 4 x 1GB items. At this stage FSX was getting a bit grouchy, h...

Skip I'm running an Intel Duo Core 6600 @ 2.40GHz. The problem is causing me concern purely because a) the graphics card guarantee is due up in 3 weeks and, b) I have had reasonably good frame rates in FSX until now. I have just put the full 4GB RAM back into the PC and will do a few test hops in FS...

Well DaveB, Crucial list a series of reactions from the PC and how to deal with them. Most it seems to happen automatically. Having installed the gubbins (tech talk there) the PC fired up without a hitch and the windows performance information page recognised new hardware and suggested a click on th...

Thanks DaveB - I doubt if anyone will ever master computers, especially us simmers who require 110% performance 100% of the time. Yes Derek, I took out the 'old' 512 MB RAM and installed factory fresh 1GB sticks. At present I have replaced the 'new' with the old - just in case there was a problem wi...

My PC has an NVIDIA 800GTS graphics card and - until recently - 2GB RAM. For my birthday I bought a 4GB upgrade of RAM to make moving photos around a bit faster and - maybe - increase my FS9 and FSX fps. So, RAM installed and everything is fine although Vista does not recognise more than 3.5GB RAM w...
