Good evening all...
Some very interesting comments.
First of all I would like to say thanks Shane for the tutorial.
For some of us who have never had a computer course of any kind (Jeppesen excluded), may take several screenshots a year, climbing past the seven decades in years and hoping the old grey matter won't turn to jelly overnight I think your tutorial might be good to look back on in a month or two when I/we decide to take another picture or screenshot.
Sure I think a good many of us have had home computers since they came out and many like myself probably used them for typing reports, reading educational material and playing games on. Yes the first game we purchased I believe was Microsoft FS98 when it came out and I just couldn't get myself interested in it.
Why we purchased every Microsoft Flight Simulator Game after that one God only knows. We still have them collecting dust on a shelf though.
Then the Internet and Forums came along and the electronic gizmo became more interesting and even more educational. Forums like Simviation which is the one and only I have ever used are very entertaining and informative to say the least and I enjoy it very much.
Tutorials, yes I think they are very important just as reference material if nothing else.
Now you will all have to excuse me but I have to go find the tutorial on the old slide rule, it would seem I forgot a few procedures on using it and one of our twelve (12) yes (12) year old grandchildren asked me about it the other day while visiting.
You wouldn't want him to think his grandfather was a complete dummy would you?
Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
