Good afternoon all... :)

I have tried several times and got so frustrated I gave up.

I want to be able to post a link, I hope that is what you call it...those red lines that direct one to another information site.

I am using Vista.

I thought there would be a spot on one of the top toolbars that said "Link" but there is not.
I have the Google and AVG toolbars showing.

When I find a site I want to add to my post I right click on that Homepage and this is what I get:
Open Link
Open Link In New Tab
Open Link In New Window
Save Target As
Print Target

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Could someone "PM" me with a solution and I can save it.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Like Paul said.
The address normally starts with http:// and ends up like this when you paste to your thread
http://205.252.250.26/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaB ... 1266268933
copy, write your post and where you want your link you right click, click paste and it won't colourize untill you post message or preview it.

Hi Steve... :)

There are several units on the market right now along with a motion chair and several types of those as well.

Getting off topic a little but I have been in touch with several companies and used units with warranties can also be purchased.
With chair I do believe one is looking at seven thousand American Dollars ($7000.00) and that is all new.

Wonderful tools for someone who loves to fly but has lost their medical or sold their aircraft and one does not need a whole house to host this unit, no special wiring needed at all.
Not sure how long we can maintain our medicals and not going to purchase another twin so these tools are great for someone like myself or the old girl.

What I like about them is they are American FAA and Canada Transport Approved.

Sorry to get off topic folks.   ;D    ;)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Goodly Morning all... :)

Yes the old girl does get on the simulator however she does it when I am not around as she likes to practice IFR Procedures in the Cessna 172.
I think it would be great if we could get on together but with both of us involved in so much volunteer work there are days we hardly see each other.

That's a very cool toy!

But be careful... simming can get almost as expensive as flying the real thing...  ;D
