Tiz why I made a DVD copy, and it saves changing disc's when installing, as it ware's my cd drawer out, not to mention my arm.  ;)

Paul,
I wonder if they still sell those aluminum skined CD/DVD cases. I got mine from
a record store. (years ago) Hell, do they even have record stores now-a-days.

I tossed the CD's back in there jewel cases, then ever so gently placed the 4-Pack
FS9 kit into it. Now I can run over them with my truck and NO cracks. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Yeah.. I hate how tight they make them buttons, I've cracked 1-DVD and at least
2-CD's already cause of that dang button. >:(

Just got news that my replacement new copy of FS 2004 has been dispatched via Amazon... [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]...!

I cant wait!... :D

I'm presently running my FSX on Multiplayer...::)...., (and cooking my Dins at the same time)... and its not giving me the same, overall feeling of; "wonderfulness", that my FS 2004 does!.... :-*...!

Paul... ;D... ;D...!

...I'm sure my Dins, today, will give me greater satisfaction!... ;)...!

Paul, i'm not trying to spoil anything, but....
Last year i got a new FS 2004 box, the old one didn't work.
The new, made in MS Ireland, couldn't install disc 4 to the finish, (fault on the disc)!! Luckely the old 4 did the job, so KEEP oldies for backups. ::) ;)

You should have ordered the Scandinavian version, Bass..

The Irish version only works in, or near, Dublin...

Paul... ;)... ;)...!

P.S..I think you are trying to put a spell on me!... :o.... ;D...."

Back up in the air again!... :-*...!

After receiving my new replacement copy of FS 2004, I have just spent 2 whole days, early morning to late at night, reinstalling all my payware and freeware programs and files!

It suddenly makes me realise why my FS 2004 always looks so utterly magnificent!... :D...!

Its 'cos of all the time and money I have spent on it, over the years... :o... ;D...!

My FSX is back sulking in the corner, again... ::)...!

Paul.... ;D... ;D...!

P.S. The thing I really miss in FS 2004, is FSX's ability to correspond with ATC, whilst in Multiplayer mode...(it cant be done with FS 2004).

I'd consider investing in a good bare metal disaster recovery backup solution, so you could generate a system snapshot every month or so, and when disaster strikes you will just run an overnight restore job from the latest snapshot, save a lot of time and headaches, and still have to look for a new girlfriend! :lol:

Hello Friday!

..(a blast from the distant past!).... :P ...!

The one good thing about a hardware/software disaster, is that it gives one the opportunity to have a good-old clear-out, and start again with a clean sheet!

...a bit like blowing your nose... :D ...!

"Girlfriends?", I avoid like the Plague now. They are an even bigger headache....trust me... ;) ... :lol: ...!

Paul.... :mrgreen: ...!
