My default MD-83, I just discovered, has no VC. Looking at the MD-83
folder, there's no Panel folder there at all.
Thinking it must have been accidentally deleted, I reinstalled FS9 on
a different PC, planning to copy over the missing files - but the

As some of you know my system is quite high spec and whilst I have a
Core 2 Duo E6850 compared to the new Quads I have always got a
reasonable overclock on it.  Stock speeds are 3000mhz with a 1333
FSB.  I get excellent benchmarks on 3DMark05 of around 22000 marks,

If anyone happens to be in Germany in the next week, you can see the
last ever Buran, the Russian space shuttle, heading up the Rhine on a

Is it best to install this sim in Safe mode? Thanks ns

Been going in circles with FS9 and FSX. Finally decided to have FSX on my C
drive and FS9 on my D drive.

appear identical in specifications and speeds but the C drive has more data

Anyone recommend any pedals?
I'm looking at the saitek set, but I thought I'd ask around before

The Nimbus 2004 broomstick, in its original form (both visual model &
aerodynamics) is entirely the work of Shigeru Tanaka.

Is there a way to tell what position the controls are in FS2004? I seem to
recall in FS98 there was an indicator on the panel. I don't see one in
FS2004.
Fortunately, I bounce when I hit the ground.

I installed MSFSx when I zp installed. Then I installed Vista now I get a
side by side conguration error when I try to start MSFS x I have checked my
video driver. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Does anyone know of some viewer software thats allows me to preview what an
FX would look like before adding to an aircraft.
I believe (though I'm not sure) that there is a previewer in FSX - none that
I know of in FS9.

Using Notepad, I have edited my FS9.cfg file and saved it without any
trouble (FS9/Vista).
Now I am trying to edit the panel.cfg for the PSS Dash 8 (did it OK with
FS9/XP on my previous computer).  However, the edited file would not save.

As I just received my overkill machine :-) with video connectors "à discretion" (6) I wonder if there's a known (software) solution to stretch the FS picture across three screens without using a TripleHead adaptor. Actually I have never heard of it but before going for the ...

Well, it was a year ago today around 5:00 PM.  
I wonder how many on here can remember what they were doing a year ago
as vividly as I can (at least for today - April 3rd)
I still have a slight limp and not quite the stamina I had over a year
