So this is the time to look over his web-site and download any aircraft that
interest you.
Our BGA FS2004 hangar has repaints for many of his aircraft.
Mike, we wish you every success with you new pursuits! Thank you for all
of your efforts on behalf of the flight sim community.

Luke bgan021 found this one: This link is a free online system check that
analyses your system for compatability with around 100 games including FS9/X.
It will tell you what you need to run either sim and why things might not be
working properly. I found it by accident when trying to find out why my FSX
jetways (Gangways) don't move.

(note from Bill: I checked
it out to see if my system could run Trains 2006. It says I can run it. It also had links to click to download the
latest video driver and sound driver for my system.)
-----------------------------------------------------------
One of the things that annoys me when flying multiplayer or with ATC,
are the text messages scrolling across the top of the screen. Many of my aircraft have an overhead panel
and I am unable to click on those panel switches when there is a message.
Pete Dowson has a fix for this.
Goto http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html
and scroll down about 3-4 pages and download AdvDisp 2.14 The included AdvDisplay.dll file gets put in
your Flight Simulator 9/Modules folder. (Not sure if it works for FSX)
Read the instructions for how to hide the messages. (I forgot how I
did it already) submitted by Bill Von
Sennet. Now you know why I don’t answer
you when you type “Hi Bill” I am
always on TeamSpeak and would be happy to converse.
