OK. Got FSX when it came out. My machine was too slow to run it. Got new machine 18 mos. ago, but found I had so much in FS9 that I was unwilling to switch to FSX though I left FSX installed and play with it once in a while (compare aircraft & scenery).
The new Vietnam War Project files got me into flying FSX at least part of the time. I did have the foresight to have Santa bring me the Howe and Slaughter "Tips & Tricks" for Christmas - and I'll pull that out as soon as this session is finished.
Three questions:
1. I have built and use a large library of Laos LS sites whose runways refuse to show in FSX - any tips to get me started in a conversion (or do I have to build all of them all over again)(NOT).
2. I do have a bunch of "flights" built in FSX (you know: hit <;>, type in a name, then hit <enter>, and you can always visit that spot forever again). When I hit <;>, the flight names appear in alphabetical order. How do I sort them in alphabetical order when I got to the screen to select the flight I want (<Alt>, <f>, <l>)
3. In the FSX cockpit view, I cannot figure out how to tip the view up and down (<shift>+<enter> and <shift><+<backspace> in FS9) - I can move my eye point up and down, but I cannot TIP the view up and down.
Again, I'll hit the books and the web after I get throught with some on-line work (fun). I remember having these problems a year and a half ago when I made the "do not upgrade" decision. If they're on the first page of the "Official Guide" or "Tips and Tricks" be gentle when you scold me!!!
Many thanx!!!
