I think I have to go with Callum on this one. The other thread has the surreal situation of a number of gents in their 40s and 50s attacking each other in a way normally attributed to, err, younger forum users shall we say!
I was going to justify my post re this issue however I will not, suffice to say I WILL NOT hide behind PM's as it was suggested I should have done, I am to be honest rather tired of all this and hence I will ban myself from posting forthwith for a period of time to when I "grow up" if that is ok

You don't have to justify anything mate

Post away and if no one bites, we'll fight amongst ourselves

Garry, I must say the Earth looks a bit featureless from up there - must be real though MS says so

. My system is not up to your spec (AMD 64 3200+ but with 2Gb - assorted - RAM) and I only have 5.5Gb free space (unlike your several million feet). Mind you I have been playing with the default stuff only.
Apparently no-one can hear you say "oh sh!t" in space. Glad to see a bit of humour come back into this discussion.
Regards,
Chris

Funny you should mention that Chris
When you look down it is featureless apart from a small ares that is covered by the demo.
But if I show that you would see that as the engines are stopped due to lack of air the, he door are open and steps deployed.........
embarrassing :redface: when that happens in space.
:huf:

Garry, that's the "oh sh1t" moment (but we didn't hear you - honest).
Mind you if you think this subject on this forum is bad you should see the cricket - handbags at dawn, noon and dusk - major incident coming up!
Edit - I'm having a glass of wine (fortified) to celebrate becoming a Comet - up, up and away!!
Regards,
Chris

I remember back in the dark days of previous and even slower FS incarnations that you could zoom out and see the globe as it probably
should/would look depending on your location.. clouds and all. Seems odd that BG has chosen to resurrect it again :think: Perhaps in the release version.. we'll get a shuttle in the list of default a/c

Hi Dave
You still have the globe CTRL S in FS.9..if thats what you mean.
It enables you to check which planet your on..........not always obvious :roll:

Ahh.. that would probably be it then. Ctrl+S is one of those keystrokes that have managed to pass me by. The - key (minus) was always much easier!!
