d**n, I finally get back online and nobody's here!
I've had a few serious health problems, but the doc's say I'm in good shape now other than just getting old!
I've also been offline because I couldn't operate this d**n computer!So I saved a lot of money during that time and upgraded my computer when I got better!
Now I'm ready to fly again, but with FSX this time.
Let's hear from you guys, I know that most of you are reading the forums once in a while, let's get back in the groove again!
God bless...Joe

Hi Joe,
Glad you're finally back!
A couple of us (including me) have had some health issues too that slowed us up. I almost died twice last year, and just had my 2nd surgery for carpal tunnel today (from spending too much time on the computer). Three of us try to join up weekly for a multi-player flight, but that's usually all I have any time for these days.
Talk to you later when I can type with two hands.
Tom

Hey Joe,
If you are ready to start flying, the Iditarod starts Saturday. We are participating with Alaskan Winds in their annual simulation of the Iditarod Air Forces. I don't remember if you have flown this one in the past or not but it really is alot of fun. It will be a good way to get a bunch of flying in over the next couple of weeks.

Hey, great to hear from you guys!
Tom I hope you get better soon, don't go dying on us, we can't do without you old man!
Frank I have to go to Virginia this weekend,but I'll be back next Wed. I'll take a look at it and see what I can do. I didn't have the time last year.
It sure feels good to be back and knowing that I can fly again especially with this updated computer and with FSX!
I have this site as my homepage, so it will be the first page I see.

 Merrill scenery in sfx. Looks like there is plenty of room in this area! Frank just go to the same location as in fs2004, there are some buildings there but they are far apart. The paintjob on the helo didn't show up all that great, but it is a start. I copied it from 2004 but some of the details didn't come through. There is a newer version of FSRepaint out for SFX, but I'll have to save up for it. |

 here is Merrill in fsx, looks pretty good! I copied it from fs2004 and dropped it in and it worked! I think that as long as the area is flat with no trees or hills any scenery from fs2004 will work! Anyway Frank, it might not be as hard as we think (I hope). |

 I found it! It has a few cliches in it, but it is workable. I need to get rid of the smoke effects, they are what's wrong. A few trees in the way, but not real bad. |
