You should have been on long haul, Peter :lol:

In fact, the one at the back ended up marrying the Captain from that trip :shock:

Vegas - if I remember right, we spent most of the trip in Dar es Salaam, where lobster thermidor was so cheap we ate it every night. So it's quite likely that all of us were guilty! :redface: I was the one with the perm! My god - 70s fashion was so cruel! Dan - if she was your wife, don't believe he...

Dan - your VC10s always look so serene. It wasn't always like that inside! I've just unearthed an old photo taken in the flight deck of a VC10 en route from Doha to London in the mid 70s. The skipper and EO were chucked out of the flight deck so we could have a memo of a great trip. There are no pri...

Thanks, David. Are you a salesman, by any chance? You should be! :lol:
I shall accept your kind offer of a copy of the panel folder by email and I have sent you a PM. You're a very kind man.

Best regards

GAU files have to be in the gauges folder :roll: Hi Dave. Thanks for trying to help. Perhaps my brain's gone all woofly again! Here's what Mr Probst says in the readme: "FS2004: Using WinZip, extract to your FS2004 root folder using the "Use folder names" option. The full path must b...

Okaaaay..... Many thanks, David, for the advice. I've downloaded the Probst panel and it is installed, as per readme, in the fsfsconv folder within the aircraft folder. I then aliased to the B732 panel within that, but when I try to load the aircraft I get an error message saying that B732.GAU file ...

In my opinion, Flightplan (Jodie Foster) is a total disaster. But that's probably not what you meant :smile:

If you do decide to uninstall Norton, (been there and done it) be aware that Windows uninstaller will probably not get rid of it completely. Symantec do a special automated uninstall tool which will do a better job. :roll: Here you go. Best just click the link unless you've got some leave due! http:...

When we flew there in the 70s, it was spelt Nadi but pronounced Nandi. So I expect to avoid confusion some people decided to spell it phonetically. :roll: It's like driving on the left side of the road. It only works if everybody does the same. As we were never totally sure of the pronuciation we ju...

I still haven't got very far with this. :sad: I've followed northantsflyer's suggestion of deleting and re-downloading but I haven't had his luck and FS still crashes when I try and operate any switch on the OHP. Tony - yes, I've suspected for a long time that you are completely barmy. But it doesn'...
