First time in months. It was to try to take my mind off the threats here where I live. It’s becoming intolerable since February. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Right now it's been very hectic, our new house will be finished in mid December. So I've been very busy. Haven't made a simulated flight in months... You are mirroring my situation, so I know how it is. I really look forward to your return, and wish you a safe and happy move. We just sold our place yesterday after months of landscaping and improvements that we did ourselves, and now are in the process of moving interstate to a home we built a few years back. Forum time was negligible as I'd spend the few moments I wasn't working or sleeping getting in a circuit or 2. I, too, alpha and beta-tested MSFS, bought and enjoy it, but lately I mostly use P3D and still a bit of X-Plane. They are all valid choices for enjoying sim time. There is a lot of noise around MSFS coz it's new. It is coming on nicely, is immensely pleasurable, but not yet a replacement for P3D for me (mainly aircraft and Australia reasons, but also less satisfactory external viewing in MSFS). All the best, Jack, and I look forward to an inverted yellow 787 landing on a glacier somewhere after it has flown inverted under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. If anyone does it, it will be you! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you kind sir. I really hope your situation isn't mirroring mine to the extent of what we're going through. Literal murderous threats to kill us isn't a lot of fun. I'm in the process of packing everything so my PC is now out of service. I look forward to someday flying a yellow jet upside down but it won't be till next year. Thanks and best regards, Jack 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry for the late reply, but I haven't been here for some time, health issues, but managing to keep things stable. I mainly fly P3D even though I have MSFS, I just keep it up to date, and give it a fly periodically to keep in touch. Glad you are well and look forward to your return.

Robin and I are getting a lot of things reassembled and have a ways to go but we’re delighted. Yesterday I put together the flight sim desk. I just need to set up all the equipment and test it and upgrade and I can be back making flights. Cheers! 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Regards, Don Merry Christmas Don! It’s always a pleasure to hear from you and I’m sorry to hear about your health issues. Thank goodness Robin is now fine. She actually had covid but now she’s back to normal. She was prescribed HCQ, zithromycin, and zinc. And being a severe type 1 diabetic I was really worried for her. But she was ok, a bad headache, slight fever and loss of smell. Now she’s fine. Someday I might get MSFS but not until they have PMDG level planes. I love the graphics in it, especially Orbx’s stuff but I really need aircraft fidelity like in P3D. As I type this it’s 5:30 AM on Christmas morning. We never had a chance to get a tree or even gifts but that’s ok, we’re grateful. Hope you have a nice Boxing Day and happy new year! Jack 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
