Is there a payware version of CYVR out yet?
I'm amazed a the fact Vancouver International hasn't been taken up by

When I open 'New View' ie. the left '[' button, and in that view i want to
have 'Left Front' view. I can use the hat switch on my joystick or '7' of
the number pad. But that view only stays as long as I hold the switch or
keep the button pressed. How can I keep the 'Left Front' ...

I am taking Rod's training flights in FS 2004. In the Student Pilot lessons,
I am finding that I cannot finish the Ascents and Decents lesson. I do
everything Rod says... after the turn to the left and descent to 3000 ft,
the banner says "Fantastic. You did well." The lesson then ...

Somehow I hosed FSX big time. I get the splash screen, loading screen...and
it freezes. Ok, I can deal with that. I was thinking I would uninstall it
anyway.
Now the question.

What a difference this change has made. My interest in simming has come back
with a vengance. It's like chalk and cheese. One amazing thing I've found
out is I can now read the taxiway signs. Farewell purple line. Going back
for another flight.

I like flying long distance routes - 5000 NM  - and I use Active Sky
real weather.   I'd like to be able to plan routes that minimize the
effects of headwind, like in the real world.   There's some highly
technical information out there on the internet  - example here -

Thanks to your help, I got through the Beginner (except for thermal soaring)
and several of the Intermediate missions. I am stuck on two of them: Paris
Airshow and Innsbruck Approach with ILS. I'm not sure how to accomplish low

I have been lurking in those two groups I am posting to, for quite a
while. Funny how things change.
I got my first glimpse of a flight sim back in the Sinclair ZX81 years,
but came to more serious flightsimming in 96 IIRC, with DID's EF2000,

Hey, question....  does the built in default weather apply winds at
altitude?  
In other words, the wind at the surface is south at 10 knots at 180°and at
7,500 feet it's 22 knots at 120°...  if you're flying at 7,500 feet will
