>>I'm half a Kiwi. <<Which half? <]:¬) Seriously, from what pictures I've seen from Kisiland, it looks like a beautiful place. And over in the Olde FS FORUM, we had a youngster training for his PPL who sent some aerial photo's of Sydney harbor (or is that horbour) which looked beautiful. Again - Welcome

See what I mean Dom, they are a great "mob"in this board...
even though they (I agree) cannot spell "KISILAND" indeed, that,s a new one.. I can hear the Kiwis chortling from here 
Seems we have a bit in common, traded to NZ regularly (Union Steamship Co) and lived in Sydney till retiring, am at present Mid North Coast.
Hope to hear more from you and you will enjoy this board. (I don,t know if it is in order for me to say you should join the Chat Room, being a guest myself)but it also is very good. 1400-1500 Wednesday and Friday E.A.S.T.
Regards,
Andyc

Never met a cook called Phil O'connelly did you? Pommy bloke 'wat' lives in Gosford

RE: KISILAND. Sorry about that! The W and the S are both hit with the ring finger of the left hand. Not that I can't spell - just that eye-hand coordination is poor! You should see me fly an airplane

____________________Hi Dom,
I had a blast Beta Testing FS2002 and couldn't get enough of it. I even have it running (although on default settings) on a PII 233MMX Machine <G> Couldn't even do that with FS2000. Spent a week upgrading a pc to WIN XP and re setting my network up for Project Magenta.
Regards,
James.

Neg. on Phil Connely Dom. I agree with James re FS2K2, have just installed it and it is great, has YTRE and the Great Lakes depicted in almost frightening detail. Had to do a fair amount of "tweaking " to get the graphics set up. Have,nt tried out the ATC yet but from reports is awesome. Hope you can make it to the "chat" tomorrow 1400. See we have another "down-under(er)" Timster... Great.
Regards,
Andyc

I'm not sure if you know but "Timster" is Tim Wainwright, formerly of PC Aviator. He's been around quite a while, and is a huge bonus to our community here. I'm proud to say as well, he's very good personal friend (for an Aussie
).

Jeez Greenie...... I resemble that comment 
Thanks for the compliment too! It's great having friends around the world like this, and even better when they like beer too. 
Don't forget Mike, that house is on the way and there's a room with your name it! (and the family!)

<<"chat" tomorrow 1400>>Do you mean 2-3PM Oz time? If so it's no go as I'll be working.
Cheers, Dom (YSSY)

Posted by andor on 11-06-01 at 22:08z
Sadly yes Dom 2-3PM our time . What a pity , was looking forward to having a "back-up". However all not lost as we also generally have a "multi-player" session same time Sunday (our time).. THAT is very instructive (read terrifying) for instructive
