Hi Pete,<<Yuck to XP's normal look from me! Just shows you how tastes differ. No politics now! <G> >>
Of course not - each to his own.
<<I've had more crashes taking down XP than just crashing not taking down XP. Using relatively new or experimental vide drivers will do it quite easily! <G>.>>
Video drivers as opposed to graphics drivers? I assume you're still using the Omega ones for FS2002 which have been nice and stable for me.
<<...maybe if your office uses Win2000 Pro on a LAN you have someone there who can tell me how to make it work smoothly and quickly, like Win98? Please? I just cannot believe it is *supposed* to be as bad as this? Maybe office types don't know any better? >>
LOL! We don't have Windows 2000 just yet - its installation date is not known by end-users such as me so my observations are all based on NT4. I can access several other servers across our network both local at Cheadle Hulme and also those at Bath with minimal access times. This suggests something is not quite right with your settings possibly but not being a network administrator I wouldn't know where to start. I'll try to contact our SA and ask him if he can offer any advice on why your access times are so bad.
<<Reverse thrust on the throttle axis has been in FSUIPC for 18 months and is used by many folks. I thought you tried it and didn't like it? >>
I must be missing the obvious. Do I not move the throttle all the way back during calibration to allow for a null area? Does that then become the reverse thrust position? If it does mean reserving part of the main throttle's axis I'm not sure I would like that and it's probable that is why I decided against it. What I was hoping for is to allocate reverse thrust to one of my spare axis on the yoke. Can I do that? There's no reverse thrust axis in FS2002 so I didn't think it was possible that way.
<<Yes, I asked Andrew about all that, and mentioned you. He said he was aiming to clear the list by Xmas, but couldn't get the parts! Maybe he promoted you knowing you knew me? (head grows big! <G>).>>
LOL! If I've been promoted then thanks for any influence you may have had. I would be slightly embarrassed if that was the case and I hope that no-one else on this site who has ordered one is reading this 
He confirmed my position and said I could expect an e-mail next week asking me to place my order. Having had a play with it at yours I'm really looking forward to receiving it. An early Christmas present 
Do you know anything about a prospective radio stack? I know you wouldn't order one as you have the PFC stuff but I might be interested.
<<Bob Sidwick asked me to do a presentation, but I don't volunteer for that sort of thing.>>
I can understand and maybe it would be quite difficult to deliver a speech on such a utility given that it dosn't have any fancy graphics! <g>
