I haven't seen you on the "other group" lately although there's not
much going on. Lots of posts on the new app, but not a lot else.

Hi Rog;

I'm back posting again there now that the Beta process is over.
Actually, I've just become an MVP for Microsoft on Flight Simulator and
will
be working even more closely with both them and the add on developers
working with the program.

Congratulations Dudley.

Now I know where I can send the bill when I have to upgrade all my
hardware so I can run it:-))

Oh, if it'd only run on LINUX.

Thanks. I'm sitting on an order now for either Hypersonic or Falcon NW for a
whole new system waiting for Nvidia's new DirectX 10 GPU to come on line.
Bea is going to kill me!
:-))))

Its been interesting watching the program progress over time, and its
amazing how knowledgeable some of the end users become after using the
program. You wouldn't believe the knowledge level of some of the simmers. I
helped someone just last week who had a pretty good handle on how to fly a
DME arc. He just needed one little piece of data to complete his "puzzle".
He was eleven years old :-))
There will be some "growing pains" with this new version while the hardware
and drivers upgrade into it but from what I've seen so far working with it,
the potential is unbelievable.
