'The Machine Gunners', by Robert Westall, perchance? Ah yes... thank you good sir :). It was doing my head in :lol:. I had a bit search on the net as I thought I'd remember the cover If I saw it (think it ws purple with a black and wite image of the lad, his guy in a bogie ad a couple of barrage ba...

It'd need to be power steerng in that behemoth.
A ship's helm wheel looks an appropriate size too.

That's a good point. Even on my XP2700+ with the second patch installed FS2K would still ocassionally hold up. Most of the tme it'd run at silly frame rates (60, 70, 80, 90 plus) but on lesser machines it may not do o well. Another important point is that from FS2002 onwards the software used to cre...

Nice shots.

'Thunder and Lightnings'. I'm sure I read that. Was that about a young boy living near an airbase? I've even forgottenthe jist of the story (at least the one I'm on about :lol:). It's shameful really because I read it literally dozens of times. I used to keep doing the same books when we were asked...

I wouldn't like to think how many easyJt try and fit on an A319/A320. 300 ? 400 ?

I can't claim to have played/used X-plane. There was a trail version of the latest version (then) on a cover disc but I didnt bother with it. I understand you get virtually every single model of anything that can fly ever with it. That in it's own right sounds nice, and would therefore be good value...

Nope. Well I didn't.
