Windows wasn't running one on my FS drive so I've now added that and it seems to have fixed my occasional CTDs. I spent a couple of hours flying around Seattle in the heavies with the display settings high and thunderstorms raging and not even a stutter!
Good grief, all this time, and I never even thought about that !! :doh:

Just checked, and sure enough, it needed setting. Ian, have you specified a size or are you letting the OS manage it ? I have system managing at the moment.

I read that Windows 7 is very efficient at managing it so I've left it to system management as I doubt I could do any better :lol:

I've just had a good example of how Lockheed Martin are listening to users of the sim and taking on board many bugs that are detected.

The other day I spotted a post on the Official P3D forum by a guy who was having a problem with saved flight plans not being found by P3D. I had the same problem so joined in. One of the gurus there analysed some flight plans and tracked down the solution. Finally a LM guy came on and thanked everybody for working it out and promised to have it fixed. It makes you feel part of a community and the feedback works both ways. It helps them and it helps us. Mind you there's no guarantee that they won't drop us when they've got it perfect :lol:

Ian, here's a question that was posted at the Orbx P3D forum, asking whether radio nav aids and frequencies have been updated.

My impression is that everything is still as it was in 2006, but you might know if there has been any mention of it.

No, I haven't seen any posts about it. But, a wild guess here, I'd say that the P3D people might know. Perhaps he should ask over there :doh:

And, did I mention? They're a very friendly and approachable group and would be thrilled to hear from him :lol:

Speaking of group hugs, and sarcasm...a few years back, Rangers FC had a disastrous start to the season, while Celtic were going well. The week before the first 'Old Firm' match, the story went round that instead of their usual pre-kick-off group hug, the Celtic players were going to form a triangle, just to let Rangers see what three points looked like :lol:
