  1. That's an efficient shop you have there Bert. The SU8 version fixed it here also...and I thank you! Love flying this aircraft. Cheers
  2. Yes, I only have the standard edition, so the Baron is not available to me.
  3. Yea Im flying it right now: 156K digi, 120K analogue. Ive never even checked the steam gauge before this. My FIP reads the same as the PFD, regardless of the gauge I bring up, so it seems that standby gauge is faulty. I'll send it to my local avionics repair shop next week. 🙂
  4. Alarm bells did go off...and iirc I thought I did attempt to steer it elsewhere but somehow was blocked out? Don't know for sure. Just another thing to be aware of and not assume the update manager knows what it's doing. 😉 And there it is, the update manager, which has been updating fine for 4 years has a hangover or something and pulls this stunt. Now I wonder if that C drive installation can be undone and revert to the old location, but I'll search around for possibilites. Thanks for your thoughts everyone! Greg
  5. After years of only using msfs occasionally, over the past 6 months I have come to enjoy it and accept its...flaws (its hard to hold back going on a rant, btw). So yesterday I fired it up and there is an update, mandatory of course! It proceeded to install this 135gb monster over hours and hours and guess what? It was a total reinstall; into the default C:\\bla bla bla location, which made obsolete my previous location (since 4 years ago) of H:\MSFS\. So I could easily go on and on about time spent with addons, community folder issues, and changed settings...but does anyone have any idea why this happened? I'd been flying every day for weeks and this just rises out of nowhere, seemingly. Thanks for any input. Greg
  6. It was meant as a compliment. Perhaps I should have phrased it differently, as in 'refreshing'. Cheers,
  7. Interesting topic for a flight sim site! I'm 71 (huh?) and have been very active, fit, and pretty healthy most of my life. Last winter I started gaining weight, became somewhat lethargic and experienced little motivation. In April I began a routine consisting of stretching, light weight workouts, and walking about 2 miles (hilly terrain here in Vermont) most days. What a difference it has made. Everything I do is so much easier than say a year ago. I also have made adjustments to my diet. And I've gained some muscle mass back too, but I never was interested in being 'muscle bound'. Being retired I have no excuses not to devote some time every day (almost anyway) to body and mind maintenance. Also flight simming, done right, keeps my brain from going to mush. 😀 I have some of those bands but never made it part of my routine. Thanks, I may give them a try.
  8. I'm not wishing to re-route this thread, but the adjective 'cartoonish' reminds me how I should be chewing bubble gum or sucking a lollipop when I 'play' with that other flight game. 😉 Anyway, back to positivity: I really like V6. I was about ready to quit simming forever when this came out and thought I'd give it a try. At first it was underwhelming, then bit by bit I got some add-ons going, ORBX installed, and the patches were released. I'm now back at it again and look forward to see where this goes. Still have 5.4 but only using it for comparisons. Still have MSFS but again, just to go back to see if it's worthy of my time. V6 has the lead now. cheers
  9. All that one has to do is run the "GFDevFSXSE.exe" file located in the GoFLight folder, usually C:\Program Files (x86)\GoFlight\. Been doing that for years with MSFS and doing it now with P3Dv6, except executing the "GFDevP3D.exe" instead. With MSFS you can even add it to the exe.xml file and it will load automatically upon sim startup. No need for anything else and all my modules (that are over 20 years old btw) work as expected.
  10. FYI; I was able to get version 8598 working again by (I guess) installing the program to another location rather than go with the default C:\Program Files\xxx folder. I hesitate to try V8600 though, so I'll stay with this for now. I also saw the same error message about the add-ons folder not being valid...I clicked past it and the connector installer did its thing.
  11. Same issue here: I just update to the latest version (B8600 I think) and it will not connect to P3Dv6. I tried reverting to the previous working version, but that now fails as well. Uninstalled/reinstalled too, but at the moment ASP6 is not connecting. What happened here? Standard folder structure and naming scheme. Not sure what else there is to do except wait... cheers, Greg
  12. Here's the plugin I use: http://www.xpluginsdk.org/goflight.htm Good luck! Greg
  13. I tried it, windy but clouds were only scattered and visibility 20 miles at KRSW. I also flew with P3D5.3 and Active Sky and MSFS. The latter was easily the most dramatic and accurate.
  14. So true, so true...and so opposite of many other's 'ideas' about our origins. 'Nuff said.
  15. You nailed it Spilok. The latest version has me launching P3D over and over while that other thing idles. I'll give that other thing the scenery trophy, but it ends there...whoops that might might instigate a flame war. Don't care though. 5.3: best ever. It's realistic/pretend flying at its finest! lol
