Thanks for the replies guys! XP community being what it should be. TK- Haven't tried voiding the plug-ins folder yet, but will do so. I know saying "random acf" is usually less than helpful, but it literally is a problem with virtually all acf. Nevertheless, Im going to try to do a fresh install on my external and see if that fixes it. If so, looks like my comp is getting a clean OS install. Ill post back after I do those. Thanks again folks!

Everyone hits a wall some time, and this has got me stumped. It all began one day, when for no apparent reason, a few of my acf would cause XP to crash during loading. Like any XP user, I then deleted my prefs etc etc, and tried again. No luck. Feeling frisky, I decided to try another, random acf. Sure enough, it started loading then crashed. Out of about 100 acf in my hanger, maybe 15 of them will load. A bit annoyed, I reluctantly erased XP and did a clean install (Newer version; 9.67). Downloaded fresh copies of random acf and placed them in the folder. No dice. This led me to the conclusion that neither my plug-ins nor my acf were causing the problem. Maybe it has something to do with my predominantly v8 and early v9 acf, I figured. So, I went into planemaker and did a batch convert of my old acf folder, put it back where it belongs, and prayed...Didn't pray well enough I guess because out of those 15 planes that worked, now only the default acf and King Air 350 work. Lonnnng story short, I'm back to where I started, with everything the same as it was when it started goofing up except with an updated version of XP, and a folder of batch converted acf which don't work. In other words, XP is unusable and I am out of ideas. Any hair-brained suggestions would be extremely appreciated. Specs: XP v9.67 MBP i7 OSX 10.6.6 Nvidia/Intel GFX (OEM) 4GB Ram (OEM) 500GB 7200RPM HD (OEM) Log File: (Yes, I haven't used XP since Jan 31 due to this problem...boo) Log.txt

Coooool! Does it give any form of instrumentation though?

I think the quickest way of going about that would be to simply use Alt-Tab to switch between programs. As for having the missing toolbar, I assume thats because although it may only be 10px (or whatever) high, since the max res of your screen is the same as the minimum res to run XP, even relinquishing those 10px would put you below the minimum...if that makes sense.

Some things are best not said at all on a public forum in a public place by a representative of your team, Goran. The issue, which has since been removed by Nic to stop himself looking like the asshole he is, is that Nic decided to throw a little joke around about pirating iOS apps. I'm not amused. First of all, I am working under contract with Leading Edge...I am not apart of Leading Edge. Even if I was a formal member of Leading Edge, its not up to Goran to check up on my posts unrelated to the projects we're working on. Second, Ben, I don't talk to you...ever. You know absolutely nothing about me. Your only basis of judgment, and what I assume to be your sole reason to personally attack me is some words we had on XPFW when I was 18. I'm now 23. Things have changed, and if you still harbor ill-will over some conflict on the internet that occurred a half a decade ago then you should really let it go. Finally, I didn't remove it to save face. I couldn't care less. I erased it because you were right. Go figure? Ultimately, despite the fact that not only did I agree with you and modified the post, you still chose to make a concerted effort to start an argument with me; one which I have no interest in pursuing further. In doing so, you also decided to use vulgar language, which is universally unacceptable on just about every forum on the net. It's nice that mature adults can use whatever language they choose on this site, but using it in a personal attack demonstrates poor class. So, to use your own words: Some things are best not said at all on a public forum in a public place by a representative of your team, Cam. P.S: My name is Nick, not Nic. At least get the name of the person right before berating them.

Problem solved. Won't happen again, but feel free to remove things you feel are inappropriate from an otherwise useful post.

Hey all- Saw this the other day on itunes... http://ax.itunes.apple.com/app/id398073834?mt=8 I'm not much for programming, but the program seems intuitive and easy to use if you're using the LUA programming language. If so, this seems like a cheap way to avoid lugging your laptop around when you want to get some work done. If anyone else who knows what they're doing could provide some additional feedback, it would be appreciated by myself and others.

FWIW, here's how I did the fuse. It takes a heck of a long time spent moving verts to figure out the best way for all of those longitudinal lines to mesh into the windows nicely. Also, using the "Make sharp" edge tool really makes that flat space stand out nicely.

I call it a completely different plane... You gotta remember man, it's not an "extended" cockpit. It's a completely different cockpit! With a completely different cockpit comes a whole new range of systems programming. Hell man, even knobs which seem similar to the -200, are different in the -400! Also, the wings, engines, pylons, flaps, gear, fuse, ACF file all need changing, and that's the short list. Same thing is true with a DC-10/MD-11...very similar; totally different. I understand where your coming from, but when you actually see the planes side-by-side, I think you'll have a greater appreciation for just how different the Queen and the Princess are. In the process of doing this, I will probably compose a list of all of the exterior differences as there really isn't one that exists. As the list grows, I think it will also give ya'll a better idea of the huge task we face!

Don't even ask. After the Boeing projects are done, I'm sleeping for a month. Ditto. The -800 would require new engines, systems, fuse, etc. Maybe someday though...

Ditto!

Translation: "I don't have enough information/don't care to look." $20 says his so called "license" is derived from an e-mail to the effect of "I'm Heinz. I build plane. Cool?" which either was not replied to, or by a confused "Okay...? *Standard legal don't steal our stuff* Love?, Boeing" I mean I respect the guy for trying, but a pig with makeup is still a pig; maybe a pig with a publicist, is more apt. You can do much better Heinz...you know it, I know it, we all do. Do it?

God Awful. Does he know you can measure things, and use reference images...?
