I goddamn hate vista :@ lol

I was in the middle of landing and I was dead lined with the runway and I was like 'yay I'm actually gonna land on the runway for once' but then.. from the dark mists.. zoomed the loading screen saying..........

"Microsoft Flight Simulator has stopped responding. Searching for solutions"

ten seconds later.. "Something caused Microsoft Flight SImulator to not respond. Microsoft is trying to find a solution to this problem."

Yeah. With decent memory and Dou core. I have Dou I want Quad!

[CptBilly]

Don't you just hate it? What flight simulator where you using? If you are using FS9 I have heard of problems with FS9 and Vista. Fixable problems they are! I refuse to move to Vista until the end of this year or next year.

[Stephen]

Yeah. With decent memory and Dou core. I have Dou I want Quad!

Maybe a letter to santa will solve this problem?

I want Nivida GeForce 8800 GTX Ultra (DirectX10 when released!) with 768mb of memory, 4GB RAM, Windows Media and Vista Capable. Quad Core Intel Xeon 5300 processor! Wow....expensive or what!

[Stephen]

Yeah.. I wouldn't count on santa for that stuff.

I don't think someone could write you an exact guide which you could go by all the time. Well, here is how I learnt. Heavy aircraft like a 747, 777 and a 767 I would set 15 flaps...I've only properly flown the 747. If you have payware aircraft your FMC (Flight Management Computer) will caculate your landing speed, and the speed which flap should be at what. If it's a mega short runway set more flaps. If you set to many flaps at take off the aircraft will start lifting before Rotate (the speed at which the aircraft will take off at) and you could stall. Test around with them in free flight. Before I had a payware aircraft on take off I used to set 15 in a 747 and 5 or 10 in a 737. When on approach look at your PFD (Primary flight display, it will look somthing like this at the bottom left of your screen, http://www.b737.org.uk/pfd.jpg) and if you see the 2 pink lines that form a plus sign you can see a tiny little square where the lines meet. Try and get that on the white line between the brown and blue colours. If it is in the blue add more flaps if it is in the brown take away some flaps. This isn't really the proper way but this is how I learnt and after that you will start to learn more and know when to extend and retract flaps.
