Not wishing to spend all my time weeding in the garden, I've devoted time to finish the Blackburn Roc for FS9 / FSX.

(I hope this link works because Dropbox have completely changed their user interface, so I'm working a bit in the dark here. :worried: )
Assuming all is well - give it a go and report back here -
Thanks & Cheers :cheers:

Thanks - I d/l'd it just fine and I will try and give it a whizz later today, Home depot & Costco line ups permitting :S Last time it was 4 hours until I got home again.

No news from me, had a SSD fail on me and just got around to a W10 reinstall. Apologies. It's a daunting prospect so much to re-invigorate.

Alex, unrelated, but I can strongly recommend the Samsung SSD’s. We upgraded all the machines in the office 3 years ago as it was cheaper than buying new ones and I have 4 in my PC and one on a USB drive caddy on the Xbox. Not a single failure, and brilliant software to keep them optimised.

Again a bit off topic...but I fitted a 120 GB 840 EVO back in June 2017, but i only use it for non OS work, mainly because I had a n other (Adrenaline?) fail on me. Read somewhere not to use for main Windows OS as Windows requires a lot of read/write which can kill SSD's, so my OS is still a HDD. Otherwise very satisfied (cross fingers...touch wood!)

Yes Keith, the Evo’s are great. The 50 odd we put in in work were all Evo 850 256gb and they’re all still running merrily. The one on the PC C Drive is a 970, and the other drives are a mixture of 850 and 860. The Samsung magician software that comes with them will set up an over provision area (10% of the drives capacity) so that if any blocks become unreliable, it marks them and moves them to this spare space. Yes you loose 10% of your drive space, but it’s small beer in real terms.
Anyway, back to the ROC 😊

Hmm, probably my fault, but this is what I see in FSX-Accel:
