My default C172 is cold and dark, and that works OK with several other
planes.  However, it doesn't work with Dash 8.  I have also switched
everything off in Dash 8 and saved it cold and dark, but next time I select
it (either in same session of FS9 or a new one) it comes us warm ...

My little country of Northern Ireland usually doesn't have many
aviation 'incidents', but I had to laugh when this made it onto the

I currently have 2x1GB of RAM in my FS9 PC (actually a Dell XPS M1730
laptop). I thought 2GBs was going to be enough but when flying PMDG
aircraft in particular I still get Out-of-Memory crashes.
Has anyone 'bitten the bullet' and bought 4GBs of RAM to try to

Forget flying to the airport 10 miles south and taking a bus to the
falls.  No way!  Hop in your P-51, make a mad dash out there and land
on the dirt road right next to the crosswalk and falls over look..

Fellers and gals,
I have been able to stop an amazing number of services and programs

my computer, installed the software and started up FS 2004. The view is like
a breath of fresh air. My 256 MB Nvidia Geforce 5200 AGP supports the 3840x
1024 required for the horizontal span but the ...

Assuming of course that there will be an FS11.
My thoughts are that scenery-wise, they've reached about as far as they can.
The utilisation of Google Earth to re-create ACCURATE scenery (ie. buildings

On YOUR recommendation, I spent about $50 of my hard earned $$ on the Real
Air Spitfire package.
What am I now going to do with all the other planes I've downloaded? I've
fallen in love with this bird and I'm thinking of all the $$ you caused me

Fellers, there appears to be a way to display youtube videos in higher
