Classic British Flight Sim

Unless you go somewhere you shouldn't be in the first place.. MSE and Defender will keep you safe. Having 2 lots of AV running is not recommended anyway and I can't see the point of downloading a-n-other when MS give you one for nowt. If you want 'industry strength' AV.. then that's a different matter but for general home use.. MSE is fine

Good luck with it all, Nigel!
You're right about all this security rot. Isn't it enough that you've given them money from your bank account, and told them who you are, where you live etc ad nauseum?

Good luck with it all, Nigel!

Thanks Mike and boy, did I need the good luck wishes............just you wait til' you've read the following

OK, went into Tesco and bought a Vodaphone Dongle with 1Gb already installed for the pricey sum of £7.50

Got home and installed the software for it (so far so good).

When it came to connection I had to try several times before successfully getting on-line as it could not get a signal. Once connected and without wanting to waste a minute or rather a Mb I started the install for the Dove. Now cast your minds back to the dark ages of Dial-Up........you remember the frustrations of waiting for anything to happen before getting the page or site? well this was no different apart from being much slower! After what appeared to be half a day but was only a matter of around three minutes the white box that would eventually transform into a form for typing in the serial number appeared then whoppee it installed!! Ever since, the Dongle has failed to connect and steadfastly refuses to do so, as it was only £7.50 after another day trying to connect I am going to bin it and wait patiently til September when I get my state pension.

Anyway, back to the Dove. I have always enjoyed Dereks' Dove from FS9 days and when Just Flight released this one never thought that it would be just as good. How wrong am I? I just love it though would have liked the RAF Transport Command one to have had the original instruments rather than the Garmins supplied but then again it is, after all, still a Dove!

Incidentally Dave mentioned earlier not to look left due to the comm boxes, why were they made so big and obtrusive? they should be much smaller as have had a trawl over at Airliner.Net and this is what I found, left hand side near the yoke.

Don't think for one minute that they will reduce the size of it but one can only hope
Many thanks for all your help chaps.

If anyone wants a "try before you buy", Just Flight have made a time-limited demo version available..... http://www.justflight.com/articles/dh10 ... devon-demo

Has anyone managed to switch on the modern transponder? Everything else on the modern stack works OK but I can't get power to the transponder. I click where the manual says to click, and most of the surrounding area too, but nothing.

I could post over at JF but I'm not really in the mood for being abused by one of the more "expressive" posters over there, and frankly it's not worth opening a ticket for. I prefer the old style panel anyway, Garmin on a Dove just doesn't seem "proper".

Switching on the transponder in the stack works for me (even if the documentation does just label the multi-function switch rather vaguely with just a "1"), although if you are zoomed out it's easy to miss the "on" area at the top of the switch and to end up hitting the "alt" area instead....



Failing that you can also switch on a transponder signal by using the panel just below the panel with the light switches, fuel pumps, wiper switches etc.



Switching it on here doesn't switch on the one in the stack but setting a transponder code on either shows on the other...

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

Thanks John

It still won't switch on, even when zoomed right in, and that's trying most mouse combinations.

Still, as you pointed out setting a code on the other transponder works fine, so that's enough for me.

Just uploaded a US paint to Flightsim.com, hopefully available tomorrow.
