I wonder if this flight is made more difficult for my processor since
I am using a virtual machine to run fsx? I really need to get windows
installed to a new partition because I know I have plenty of processor
and memory, but I know that when my issue seems to happen, engines
rev, the thing says that speed is no longer being controlled and
inexplicably I end up full throttle no crash sound but Michelle
welcomes me to banff. With the airport off to the side which is very
odd.
I have a second pc I could use. May have to check out widefs. Sounds
like a cool way to run fsx.
Noel.
