Hi guys. Having recently upgraded to a larger smart tv, I was wondering if I could use my redundant tv as a game monitor. It is also a smart tv but only 40 inches diagonal. My pc is more or less up to date with a fast cpu and a nvidia graphics card 1070ti. Anyone had a similar experience which they could share?

I know this question should be asked on the CIX VFR forum but I can't get in there if not a member and I can't be a member unless I know the answer to the following question! (Is this a Catch 22 situation?) Does anyone here know if CIX allow p3d members as from their it blurb seems that they only allow MFS? Silly situation to bother anyone here but would appreciate an answer.

81 but recently rejuvenated by P3D! Has anyone analysed the results of this age reporting thread because I would be interested to see how many are older than me? lol

What sad news to start the week. You are one of the stalwarts of this wonderful hobby of ours. Whenever we have had bad news regarding our hobby I have always come to AVSim first to read what old faithful Tom has to say and have drawn a sort of comfort from your wise words. Let's hope that you can now draw some comfort from the sympathetic messages pouring in here today! God Bless you.

I would like to apply the trim modification but I do not know how to save an xml file. Is it just automatically saved or do I need to do a Control S?thanks guysFrank

Thx Bill. It was just the very thing. Trouble is at 75 I can't remember what I had done the previous day, no kidding!!!!! :( Frank

When I fired up FSX today I cannot see my plane in external views. I can see the nav lights but nothing else!Any ideas please?Frank

Bingo George. I've found it and it is called Vroute Premium Flight Planner and it is payware. Thanks for your efforts but I had already tried the gmap 10.

Thanks George but that was not the one. Its name has completely left my mind that's not difficult these days........I think that I shall become "Silver Surfer retd". But I think that it is a payware product.

Hi guysOne day this week on the avsim home page, there was a new product announced that was a Flight planner/moving map type of product. I've forgotten what it was called...anybody help please?

Hi GarettA great piece of work and a wonderful tribute to your Grandad. I am sure that he would be very proud of you. I live in Derby,UK the home of Rolls-Royce Aero Engines where I worked for most of my life. I was only a youngster in WW2 but if we went for a cycle ride which took us nearby the RR factory, we could hear the incessant but beautiful roar of Merlin engines on the test beds. The factory was of course a prime target for the Luftwaffe but because of several diversionary measures in place, the factory was only hit once and that was by an early morning daylight raider who got lucky with his air strike but surprise,surprise didn't make it home!I have just finished the first leg of the long haul to India and as my tribute to your Grandad (and all the other guys who must have made the same trip)I intend to finish it.My signature is the famous motto upon which Sir Henry Royce built his success and reputation. I instilled it into all the hundreds of young men who passed through my hands as Head of Apprentice Training at the Company from where I retired in 1992. And yes, I am a Grandfather as well. Well done

Thank you .................it worked like a charm and it is certainly a useful tweak.

Sorry to be a dumbo chaps but I have never modded an XML file before and I don't seem to be able to get that block into the file either by typing it or pasting it. Do you have to do it in a particular way?

As regards the overall impression, I can only echo what earlier posters have said. Absolutely brilliant!The only 'snag' that I have is that in spite of following the Flying Guide I cannot get the AI a/c to show at West Malling. Just lonely old me and I was looking forward to doing a few circuits with the other Spits. I have the general a/c slider all the way over to the right. Any ideas please?

Wow...that's cheap. It's approx
