I have to agree there John. I've found that having FS on an entirely separate drive does seem to help, be it loading times or 'stuttery-ness'. Of course, the difference in loading times can be argued to be minimal, but at least, as you mention: the burden of Windows security plays a smaller role and so - with fewer folders to access, loading times decrease.

The first image is of a United Airlines DC-10-30 from KMIA-KORD using good, old-style, reliable INS Navigation. (I attempted to get the Tail in the sun). The Second and third images were taken in Central Africa - using an American airfra

Unfortunately, Helicopters arent exactly my 'forte' but I decided to take a whack at it. Here's my two cents :- Flying too close for comfort to Canary Wharf; Trying an explicit manoeuvre (Don't try ths is real life!!); And, finally, adding a few gray hair's to a 'normal' flight;
