[New Skin... sounds like pyramid selling]

Chris,

I read Douglas Bader's book when I was a whole lot younger than I am now. Quite a man and quite a story.

I don't have the Eagle installed now - something I have to remedy. It is a very nice machine. I had the Eagle on my last computer - in fact, I was flying it when I got the first notice the video card in that laptop was dying. At first, I thought there was something really weird about that airplane, until about a week later, it was everything in a really wierd checkerboard pattern. Time for a new computer. Thanks for giving the incentive to put it back.

Beautiful. Variation on a theme? Snoopy and the Red Baron?

:lol: :roll:

Luke,

Do you have the Real Air Champ? I don't remember the designation on it, but that looks like "Bear Gulch Aviation" that came with it. That's what it looks like after I installed Megascenery PNW.

Francoise,

Yes, found them. The sounds do make an interesting addition.

Francois,

Thanks for the fast response. Overnight on a weekend is better than good.

I understand about the difficulties of getting installers to work in all kinds of environments. Symantec can't get one right to save their careers :wink: . I appreciate that you have a work around - I was counting on it until I had my brainstorm.

Other than bit of early turbulence, Orcas is a beautiful piece of art.

[Orcas Install Failure]

I am trying to install Orcas. I bought it from SimMarket this afternoon. The failure occurs when it tries to install the user specific files. It is trying to install to the wrong username under c:\documents and settings. I have Win XP Pro with two IDs, one for work, one for play. I am using the "play" id but Orcas is trying to use the "work" ID, which is private and encrypted. I assume it is finding the wrong one because it sorts first alphabetically. How to I point those files to the correct username? I have posted the same question as a trouble ticket on Sim Market's site because I don't know who will have the answer to this.

Many Thanks,

Glenn

PS: I figured it out a couple hours later. I logged in on the other ID, installed the package, them copy the four PLN files to a flash drive which removed the encryption, then logged in on the Play ID and put the files in the right place. It worked and I'm a happy pilot now. But, what was that necessary>

PSS: Sorry if I put this in the wrong forum.
