    Sorry this may not be the best area, but I couldn't find a better named area. To the best of my knowledge they are turned on. But in my recent post on Aus Runways, I'm getting replies, but no notifications. Could someone point me step by step how to check my notifications settings? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks again all for the replies. Gee, APPLE are not helping themselves. As much as security is a good thing to have, it makes an endoscopy look enjoyable. It is shameful how poor their customer service is - IMO. (Not humble) Maybe once you are "indoctrinated" to their world, things are nice. But for people wanting to "turn to the dark side" they are nearly their own worst enemy.

    So, the specs I posted above... That is good enough for the needs. It will have little life other than EFB.

    > I am pretty happy , on balance, with my new $370 Samsung + Oz runways But the specs of that tablet are? To me that is a tease. On a side note: I hear the apple app version are better than the android - now after talking to some one. The say there are functions/features that aren't available on the android. If only money tree was more healthy just now. But life is life and you have to make hard choices.

    Refurbished iPad Wi-Fi+Cellular 256GB - Space Grey (9th Generation) A$869.00 Good?

    I *thought* (yes, dangerous) there was a screen size minimum and the mini wasn't up to spec.

    Ok, I'll confuse myself more than I am. So AvPlan is an alternate - yes? Pros/Cons of each? VFR FLYING! P.S. I've watched Stef's youtube video on the two. Thanks in advance again.
  8. flying dog
    I'm guessing that is another option to OzRunways?
  9. flying dog
    I would need you to qualify what you mean by that. All things being equal, I don't understand. BTW, I'm only doing VFR flights.

    I've just heard the Apple echo system is somewhat...... different and .... Although if I get a secondhand one I guess I am kind of free from some of that. Thanks though. I guess I have to keep an open mind. Could you give me a couple of examples of which ones would be good to get/use? Models.

    I have an old tablet (android 4.3 I think) It is out of support for upgrades of the O/S. So what tablet would I need to get to be at least be a bit of future compatible. Android preferable. I'm not an Apple person. Tab S6 Lite is one but I am not sure it would work. Thanks in advance.

    Bosi72, Thanks for reminding me.... I've updated my status. 5 years no flying is not fun.
  13. flying dog
    Yeah, that's where I'm torn. As good as the graphics are in M$'s version I've heard it is a lot less realistic. But yes, if XP are being difficult...... $2000+ worth of hardware sitting here as addons. 😞 I'd really like to use them. But still not sure which one is the better one.
  14. flying dog
    Thanks for that.... How is 11 then? I HAD MSFS ... version 9 - I think - way back in 2000. And had/have a heap of stuff that plugs into it (Hardware / instruments) that would be nice to be able to use on the NEW setup I am making. Be it XP or MS.

    I am trying to use the DEMO version and am getting no end of grief when I use/start it. I have a FFB USB (Saitek) joystick. It has 4 axis. Pitch, roll, rudder, and throttle. When XP-12 starts and I calibrate the joystick, three are 5 axis shown. The people who write XP-12 aren't being much help blaming the fact the joystick is 20 years old. But if I open the windows calibrate setting, there is only 4 axis shown. So this extra axis is being created by XP-12 to my best guess. And - another annoyance: EVERY TIME I load XP-12 ALL/ANY calibrations are LOST and I have to re-calibrate the joystick. I have rudders and other stuff, but haven't got to doing them yet. Anyone here have any ideas what is going on?

    Yes, I get that IAS and GS are two different animals. But I got the speed from the app - which I believe shows IAS. Anyway.... Seems it happens/happened.

    YSSY - "Fivedock" Not very far. I'll say less than 15 miles as the crow flies. It had just taken off - or was doing a very weird "fly by" to YSSY. So I don't get what you mean. And - yeah - I can only relay what the app said. But it was scooting along and I know that they don't usually go that fast over where I was. Which is why I noticed it.

    A couple of days back I was watching a plane taking off/flying over me. Gee, that looks fast. Open the app and look. Philippine airlines. BELOW 10,000. 266 knots! And getting faster. I think it was about 5,000 when I saw it. But can't be sure. It WAS below 10,00 as I was in FIVEDOCK (Sydney) and if it was above 10,000 by there, it's VSI would have to be off the charts.

    Don't you lot think this has gone a bit off topic?
  20. flying dog
    It was broadcast a few days ago. BLACK BOX. 2021. French. Probably about the time of the 777-800 problems. There is a plane flying from (somewhere) to (somewhere) Europe and it crashes. The BEA investigate the crash. Yes, there is a bit of "Hollywood" license in it but it is worth watching.

    Thanks. I feel I am becoming a dinosaur with all these modern thingies.

    Ok, thanks. That link is a rabbit hole. Belgium?
  24. flying dog
    Sorry, but As I said: The second post is only a URL to google's map.
  25. flying dog
    The second post is a URL to google maps. Or did I miss something? Not sure anyone has notcied this bit: New details: Peter Davis. Yalcowinna. The first name I posted is because the names of the properties don't line with what google says. (Remember: Googles isn't always right) I got the name from what was shown. After a bit of asking/digging I got the person's name and property name.
