You WILL be a happy bunny. :lol:
As in Easter Bunny? I could use some chocolate with the MFG's and Brunner yoke. :-P

Good luck. I finished building my first computer last April. Component prices went through the roof immediately. I think memory is double what it I paid in January. Craziness.

I doubt that Santa is coming to my place as the chimney is permanently blocked up. However, I think I will treat myself to some Orbx gear, seen as they have a good sale on. Looking at FTX Global Base Pack, and FTX Global Vector.
Have a happy Christmas.

Haha, I don’t have kids and have had a good autumn with lots of concerts.
I’ll quote from Richard Price’s “Lush Life”.
A character is asked if he has any kids:

“I’m my own kid.”

Isn’t that great? It’s one of my mottos now. :)

Hey, thanks! You should listen to Medtner (I have a recording of his "Sonata Reminiscenza). Such beautiful music!

We are a diverse bunch here, indeed! From aircraft mechanics, via warbird-professionals, musicians, and much much more. All A2A-addicts, though. :-P

In the absence of a new A2A release before the end of the year, I think Flight Replicas' announcement of a P3D/FSX Handley Page Halifax / Halton package is Christmas present enough for me. I can honestly say that if someone had asked me which wartime RAF aircraft I wanted to see developed, I would have instantly answered: "Halifax, with C.Mk VIII and Halton airliner versions". It looks like we are to get all three, and I couldn't be happier.

Of course, if A2A would officially announce that B-29 which I just know they are developing in secret, it would be the icing on the Christmas cake. :wink:

Yeah, actually, A2A could bring us a present. They could post a teaser screenshot, or something cryptic like when they teased the Connie. Remember those long months of speculation and deep analysis of that single screenshot?

So, A2A, give us a present, if nothing else a screenshot of a rivet or another small detail of the upcoming Accusim-plane! :-D

Do trust used....but insist on seeing receipt as proof of age.

I may be selling my 4 month old i5 7600k..... they are going for very good money. And mine is like new... never been OCd and very little use. People upgrade all the time.

I bought a second hand q6600 a long time ago and never had a problem.

Lol..... spending xmas staring at a screenshot of a rivet !

.....and I thought MY xmas was going to be dull !

On a serious note, have you tried the freeware Airports of Norway ? Wondering if they may complement FTX Norway and the few airports of theirs that I have.

I love Mozart by the way. And, my dad is involved with the Lyndsay String Quartet..... random comment !

I will be listening to his brilliance as I test out FTX Innsbruck over Xmas.

The freeware packages Airports of Norway (AoN) and the other package (Norway GA, or something) are both fantastic. I never fly in Norway without them. They are so good that they could almost be payware. Be sure to get the photoscenery parts too - they really become excellent then! :)
