WinXP SP2/500MB Ram/2.4Ghz P4/Intel PERL board Best, Randy I didn't know that MS was working on a patch. I believed the conventional wisdom that said we are stuck with what we have until the next version comes out. [Begin cynical mode] I noticed while reading about the patch that it will not work if you are using the utility that allows you to run the program without the cd in the drive. I would love to get those bridges back but I also love the idea of not needing a cd in the drive. My copy is legal, in fact I've owned every version of the program since the Artwick and SubLogic days but I don't like having to put the disk in the drive. My question is this; does anyone think the two are related? As bad as MS is with producing patches, I tend to think that this is more of an anti-piracy effort than a help out the user with a patch effort. [End cynical mode] Rich Russell |

[End cynical mode] Rich Russell In the Flight Sim.com forum I've heard experiences both good and bad with the patch. Some had zero problems with the no cd patch while some did. I could care less about bridges since I never fly under them or use them for navigation. The "bridge" patch is simply that according to the moderator. No performance gains. Just my .02 cents. |

Excellent! I fly out of Bay Bridge in Maryland - a good VFR
landmark used in instruction. I was confused for a while! |

I was an instructor at Essex Skypark for awhile back in the old days. It was interesting going in there again in the sim and seeing everything as it was, but flying down the bay with the bridge missing was disappointing. We used to fly down to Bay Bridge and pickup a load of crabs, then fly them back to Lovett Airport in Elkton for the feast.

Problems with FSUIPC - Software that relies on FSUIPC may have problems running after installing the update. You can obtain the latest version of FSUIPC from http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html. |
