Thanks Ian. Have you installed? I'm wondering whether to do it or leave it as is as has been very stable for me lately

[Ian Warren]

I have to do a complete reinstall of the 777, actually need to do a FSX fix/repair, the affects appeared to be playing up.

Is this all related to/caused by the 777 or did you need to do a FSX repair anyway?

[Ian Warren]

Nothing to do with the 777 install, It needed the repair - taking stuff in and taken out regular is probably the cause or I thought it could have been a graphic card update and missed the symptoms.

Pleased to report the 1.5 patch went in fine for me. Just did a little test flying in the 200 and no issues, cold n dark startup, mix of hand flying and some automation.
See how she goes on a LNAV/VNAV leg tomorrow some time. Looks good so far tho.

[Ian Warren]

I'll have a look a FSX fix today then reinstall the 777

[Ian Warren]

Since it was only a texture issue I thought I try the old copy and paste the Effects file from the Laptop and simply copy and paste ... little kiwi number 8 wire really works , it seems the effect were corrupted somewhere at just recent, good plan for a quick fix

I made a bookcase from MDF , but i guess its not the same As far as im concerned , you are simming or mowing ... or whatever , what a load of bollocks .(IMO)
What a world we live in , i stopped being being part of the techno race a few years ago , im comfortable with what Ive got ... and compensate accordingly , but "go you good things" whatever rips your shorts .

Yes, still can, I guess real life caught up to him and took over, we may see Jon stop here every now and again.
