Welcome welcome, nice to see you around!
Hi! I am also new! I am 85 years old and live in SW Oklahomaā¦ I am getting into flight sims mainly to have something to do. I am on dialysis and have to work my daily schedules around my treatment times and this seems to be the perfect solution. I hope I donāt ask too many dumb-ā ā ā ā ā questionsā¦ I used to fly many years ago and this seems like a great way to at least get back to part of that lifestyle.

I am Peter Copeland, Richmond NSW Australia. I have played FS3[ATP], FS4 - FSX - many years on many computers. Had to stop because FSx wouldnāt run on Windows 3+. I flew, C17, Ekranoplan [couldnāt find the one on FS?, speedboat, passenger liner, schooner: [Simviation]. Now have computer capable of running FS 40th Anniversary. Are there carriers on FS40 [ or is it FS23] please?
Also, how do you access previous .flt files, to rerun them or quick access airports. I am green horn (70yrs) to new computer systems. While working, I was Defence Communications Engineer [on Naval Comms Bases, Subs, Frigates, Destroyers, C130H & J, F111, [I āflewā B707, C130 and FA18 simulators - landed FA18 on a carrier and B707 at KFS] and Armoured Personnel Carriers] - mostly hardware, not software. Thankyou

Hi!
My name is Woeps
I just recently discovered MSFS which Iām enjoying by flying low and slow with the Beechcraft Bonanza.
And thus far this seems like an ideal way for me to chill and zoom around.
And I thought to join this community to check out what itās all about.
Soooooā¦. Hello!!

Thankyou GloomyLake935. The Natasha title is from my granddaughter who lives with us. You have read my background. I am just getting used to the newer connection arrangements. Is this edition of FS
2022, 2023 or 2024? It appears that a mouse with joystick and peddles are required. I did ask about aircraft carriers. From memory, previous editions had the carriers located at sea. One was located outside San Francisco harbour, but I couldnāt see if there was one there. Any hints please. I also have not seen any reference to military fighters in the planes list, though there is one in the āboxā picture. I am also retired, but we started looking after 4 grandchildren about 10 years ago. 2 have finished High school. Of the other 2 one just started High School [ Year 7] and the other is in Year 9. High schooling in Australia finishes at Year 12. Then to University. I achieved Bach Electrical Engineering in 1977. We live at Richmond NSW, near an Air Force Base. I worked there for 5 years, performing maintenance support on Hercules C130H&J, P3 Orions [ based at Edinburgh South Australia] and F111 [ based at Amberley, Queensland now basing F35 and FA18 and Wedgetails AEW&C(737)]
