Hi Paul, I Did a test flight in the Islander later and managed to do EGNS to EGPI via wfr, cbl . Boy it was a hard flight, VFR to 3000/4000ft should have been lower or not flown. Hit some up currents and some low clouds before Islay and leaning was an up and down affair. Worn out needed some whisky to recover.

I'll be around this afternoon but this evening I have to accompany TJ to one of those infernal annual gatherings where you're supposed to be enjoying yourself with people you would normally choose to avoid socially. Bah humbug and all that. PM me with a time you'll be around.

A message flashed up saying I needed to file a valid flt pln but I had sent a pln; but I also noticed that my call sign in the flt pln page was grey instead of black. Sent of for the Guru Paul to see if he can sort me out. Have a good R&R. Fred From: ffisher991@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: jhb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jhb] Re: Flying tonight Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2014 13:50:17 +0000 Fred Sorry about your crash problems. I have one of my own. Shortly after takeoff, I noticed that FSX seemed to be sluggish, but not having used it very much this year I pressed on. After your second crash, it seemed to be even more sluggish. Around 10pm Plan-G said that I was 10 minutes from Islay. I landed at 10:55pm, 45 minutes later. Just as I landed, I suddenly twigged what was going on, yes, you guessed it, the simulation rate was on SLOWEST!!!! Somehow at some point, I must have hit a key or key combination that switched it down from normal. Needless to say I will not be submitting a PIREP for this. In all my years of Fsimming, this had never happened to me. I think I will stick to X-Plane for now on. A much smoother and more realistic flight sim. I am now off for a weeks R&R.
