RTFM

Friday, January 18th, 2008

It’s amazing how much easier it is to use the FlightGear simulator AFTER you read the #$%^%^# manual and get to know all of the keyboard and mouse shortcuts. Obviously, it would also be easier to fly using a joystick, but I’ll wait until I get a new computer before I worry about that.



I’ve also found that if I close every other application, that it is working better, although still struggling. Can’t wait to see what a difference a new PC will make - should be pretty awesome.

Haven’t started my real re-training yet - I think I will need to delay that for a few weeks as my car requires major surgery and will suck up around 6 or 7 hours of flying time (financially). That’s life, I guess. Add that to my diabetic moggie, who also just cost us a few bucks, and I start to wonder if I’ll ever get around to it. But, I will, because I am determined to.

If you’re really bored, and want to know more about the car and the cat(s) - check their progress on http://stevesrambles.blogspot.com/
