  1. Good one Chuck... nicely executed turn at the end to position perfectly.
  2. Sounds a likely culprit if Orbx is installed.. either that or maybe overlapping add on sceneries from different developers in the same area perhaps? If you have Global Vector installed there is an AEC (Airport Elevation Correction) option which may fix it. FTX Central > Settings > Tools > Configure > Airport Elevation Correction. Run Auto-configuration. In my system AEC is 'Disabled' for KSEA.

    My only reservation is that you'd struggle to get a 737 out of EGHI unless you took several rows of seats out, and banned all those non-weighed 'cabin' size cases.. the runway just isn't long enough to operate safely in all types of weather.. I heard that the largest aircraft in there was a 757 but it must have been a struggle to get it back out. I think there are plans to extend the length closer towards the railway lines which will help, but the south end of the runway is set.. the M27 motorway runs right at the end of it, and close enough that there is an EMAS-like section to prev
  4. Just came across this Navigraph survey about flight sim use.. very interesting! If it helps to keep our hobby/vocation/experiences alive, I'll put my five bob in!! https://www.navigraph.com/flightsimsurvey2018/
  5. Fantastic job Alan! We saw a Sopwith up close and personal at the Thiepval in the summer and your model really does justice. I love your tank/aircraft scene too.. I was lucky to see the Mk IV "Deborah" when I was visiting Cambrai in July.. an amazing experience when you see how cramped and treacherous it must have been. A very fitting reminder Alan. Thanks so much for sharing your incredible work.. we will remember them.
  6. Hi Joe Thanks for the speedy reply. Funnily enough, i'd tried to download 3.5 a week ago but was unable to re-set the Windows Features page to allow it to install.. Not sure what happened, but I just tried it again today, and for some reason, it allowed me to change the settings and UT2 now works! For the benefit of anyone else that gets this problem in future, this is what I did to fix the error message: From the Windows Control Panel, select the Programs and Features, then Turn
  7. Hiya SInce moving across to FSX Steam, I am starting to find software that just will not play nicely with Steam Edition.. Has anyone with FSX:SE and UT2 come across this error as soon as they launch it? Program Error Error loading aircraft assignments Could not load file or assembly 'System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling without luck. I have .NET version 4.7.2 so I'm we
  8. Not unless I so some hardware upgrades first, and cash is way too tight for a new Graphics card on top of the cost for the software too
  9. OK, those of you that know me pretty well by now, know i don't blow my trumpet much, so the title may have grabbed your attention.. I have finally, made the move from my old trusty (well, not quite) boxed copy of FSX Gold to FSX Steam Edition. I can almost hear Joe saying "It's about time too, padawan." I purchased it the year it was released, at a considerable discount, and just kept it in my back pocket in case i ever needed it. I've just been procrastinating to the point of incredulity! I now have the leisurely task of re-installing all my add ons, and deciding which, if a

    Ahhh, it WAS you then.. Sorry to have missed you and your son. Eat a few more carrots next time before the show
  12. Great news Joe I stumbled across it one day when i was looking for something totally unrelated. There are some real 'Gems' out there in the WWW, its just a case of finding them. Metatags.. love 'em Minx
  13. Just wanted to share something i stumbled across recently relating to missing runways within the Southampton area of ORBX add on scenery.. For me, it was Lee-on-Solent, my local field where i take lessons (EGHF), so missing parts of the runway was a bit of a disaster, but for this field, at least, there is a solution: If you have both Orbx England and Orbx Southampton, there appears to be an overlap which causes the missing scenery, so what you need to do is the following: In the Orbx England Scenery folder, locate the 3 EGHF files MOVE them from the EU England 'E
  14. Bless you Coff... better get another brew! Jess isn't posting for a few legs yet I'm re-building my PC again after some rather nasty goings on, but sometimes wiping can be beneficial. I'm not quite at the point where i am resigned to move to P3Dv4 so I know how you feel about soldiering on with what you have for the time being. Got to say that my My Triple Head to go is my saviour! Those wide screen shots are a doddle as they don't tax my Graphics card too much, and i get pretty good FPS as a result. Just another 30-40 add ons to do, and some tweaking, then i might be back to where
  15. Gotta say that i was quite impressed by FSX's bog standard rendering of the falls.. much better than Niagara..

    EGOV issue

    You mist have missed me too.. I was there with Joe and Needles. Funnily enough I did see someone from afar that I thought might be you.. with a younger chap, but they showed no spark of recognition so I guess it wasn't you.. Next year perhaps
  17. Many thanks to Jaydor for contacting me on the back of this post. I am now the very proud owner of a TPM (and a Cessna Trim wheel).. wow what a difference it makes to flying my C172... incredible! Thanks James
  18. Hi Michael Reckon that person was me :-) I can't see your images but from Joe's it looks like you have updated it since then. Any chance I can have a copy? If Joe's pics are anything to go by it looks like you have perfected the site
  19. Thanks guys. Think some bed rest and my monster hot curry with birds eye chilli might help shift this. Great that ATWC is back in full swing again :-)
  20. I was just finishing my tour of the new tower facility when I overheard the controller give Joe’s 787 permission to land. It was the first time I had managed to visit the new complex since it was built, and I was impressed. Not only did it house the Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS) and South African Weather Services (SAWS), they had incorporated the Aerodrome Rescue and Fire Fighting Services (ARFFS) as well, which is how I had managed to get an invite; a husband in the ‘business’. I had checked my flight plan to Livingstone had been filed, and had checked the weather on
  21. I spat my coffee out when I saw the baby pic Brilliant PIREP Joe. That did give me a good giggle.. Enjoy a bit more time in the First Class Cabin, stick your feet up, enjoy some free champers, and I'll be there in a tick..
  22. Liking those lighting effects James
  23. And that's DEFAULT scenery????
