I am posting this to "dispel" some of the myths surrounding the impending Microsoft move to no longer "support" Windows 7. First, Windows 7 will continue to run and work after Microsoft stops supporting it. They just won't be doing any major upgrades or revisions to the operating...

Bob,

Thanks for all of your efforts on X-Plane scenery. We can only hope that we can customize

Your efforts in X-plane are appreciated.

Windows 10 security is different then older Windows operating systems. This requires that flight simulators, including Microsoft's own group, should be installed "outside the default" installation path of the program. The default path is C:\\Program Files (X86) Without a clear understandin...

Nice video review. Still very preliminary to speculate on the finished product.
