No, I never did own FS9 and had no idea what a hair brained scheme it took to get the sim started. What a drag. Therefore I shall immediately arrest myself for stupidity. Maybe you guys will visit me sometime. Oh, and be sure to bring disk one with you. That really cracks me up. Embarassed

Why don't you get fs9 and join us down here in a thriving community Art?

If you do, I'll let you have the crack for a special price... just PM me with your credit card details

Come on Art, you've got a good sense of humour besides, you wouldn't be the first one to defect... we're 'The Resistance' so to speak Very Happy

Hi Tailhook,
It's funny that you should mention that I "defect" to FS9 because I've been thinking about doing just that. Only problem is, I've got quite a few bucks (for me) invested in FSX add-ons which probably won't work. My last acquisition was FSX Deluxe so that I could get the SDK. Well that turned out to be a joke because as far as I can tell, I'll need to get a PHD in computer science in order to use it. I find it interesting that there seems to be thousands of new downloads for FS9, but very few for FSX. I don't know if you've been following my posts here, but a while ago I embarked on a project to restore an old airstrip on Maui. Well, it's just about complete (not good enough to publish), and it works for me. I even established the now defunked air-line that flew there. It's really a hoot to watch all those AI planes arrive and depart as planned. I'm afraid that if I made the swich to FS9, all that work will go out the window. So, I guess I'm stuck with FSX for now. Even so, please consider me to be a member, in good standing, of "The Resistance". Crying or Very sad

Best regards ... Art

Hi sunsetvair,
I dont really know how to program in FSX, I just flail away for hours trying to get the result I am looking for. No high level programming is required, just tenacity. You could do it too, if you so desired. It just gets frustrating running into so many brick walls. I'm sure FS9 would be no different in that respect. Mad

Best regards ... Art

That is what i would love to do, if you get free time or whatever if you can just send me links to some programs if there are any, or just give me a tip or hints or anything!!

Hi sunsetvair,
I started with TTOOLS to get a couple of planes, C172s will do, flying back and forth between two simple grass airstrips located fairly close to each other. Park your own plane at one of them so they won't dissapear. The next step was to download RWY12 for scenery object placement. I started with a shipping container and a coke machine placed next to a grass airstrip. Exciting stuff huh. Both programs are freeware and I'm sorry I don't have the URLs, just do a net search. They're all over the place, including tutorials. That should get you started. There is still much to do, so I suggest that if you want to continue this that you PM or email me 'cause we're really way off topic here. Very Happy

Good luck ... Art

Thanks for that Tailhook. You are a real inspiration to me and a lot of other folks on these forums. If I have time? That's a joke! I have nothing but time, although at age sixty-nine it's beginning to run out so I've gotta work faster. There's mention of a bucket in one of these forums. I consider myself really lucky because mine is still full. By the way, you may think that my avatar is a cartoon, but it's a real photo of me two years ago. I've lost a few pounds since then though. Very Happy

Best regards ... Art

Aahahahaha... you are very funny Art, thank you. You manage to pack more humor into a few sentences than I could pack into a tome. Sixty-nine huh? Looking at your real picture there I must say the years have been kind to you and I wouldn’t worry about time running out – it’s all relative, besides according to my calculations you’ve got at least another 50 years to go.

"There's mention of a bucket in one of these forums. I consider myself really lucky because mine is still full."

That is a very profound statement Art, it really is. You see, I thought I was lucky because mine is empty... Think

Better give me a couple of decades to think about this Very Happy

Come and play with us in the 'Off Topic' forum sometime, I reckon you could help us out with some Music and Movies... I'll just put the link here for your convenience for no extra charge: http://flyawaysimulation.com/forum23.html
Seriously, I don't think many of you FSXers from up there ^^^^ have ever dropped that far down... or should that be 'low'?
