Dump everything and only download aircraft that can be operated in or around the Alaskan Bush.

As a general rule, if it can't take off within 1500-2000 feet, don't keep it.

There's my $0.02

Boeing (b727 to b777) & Airbus (a300 to a340). I think I smell smoke in the cabin ::)

. I asked for 2 cents worth not a penny for your thoughts ;D. Just kidding I've got lots of puddle jumpers

but the big boys take up a lot of space and I really need to thin the herd.

-Alternate nav lights from avsim, I use altnvlts.zip which rule

Those are my must haves, install whatever you want without these but these are essential to a good sim.

If you ain't got some Spits you ain't flyin'

Well that was nuts :P. Of course one of only 2 DVD I didn't post-check simply will not read - 4+ Gig's of planes down the hard drive :-/ - Oh well! Thanks Alpha_male for the suggestions. Had an 86' Alpha GTV-6 !! Handled great too 8) - Unfortunaly it was shoot down by a German Audi :'(. I don't think my computer has the mustard for the IFly 747 and thanks to this great forum it seems there are still some gremlins in the engines (Bugs/Zone had similar problem - circa early 40's/50'&80's ;)). Ozzy when I had CFS3 up and running I had every Spit (available) Mark from I to XVI. It seems my computer has some video display issues with the game so for the moment it is on the shelf. I was hoping to have all my WWII aircraft on CFS 3 but the new file format shall we say has not been imbraced as FS98+ and previous versions CFS1 & 2. I gave my copy of CFS 1 & 2 to my 5 y/o nephew - so I guess I'll be flyin' my collection of tail-draggers without guns for a while.
