Re: Friday The 13th.

Never had a problem with Friday 13th. Today was actually a decent day; from being a spare driver I got two pieces of work which both lasted a while (bit of extra pay!), and I managed to avoid any incidents despite the best efforts of some motorists who find a 4m high vehicle difficult to see...

Re: The Big Deal

I use self checkouts in Tescos and Sainsbury's all the time and have never missed out on any deals I've seen on the shelves, and always check the receipt to confirm just in case. I've never had to press anything other then the 'pay now' option.

Re: RSC DLC - Greater Variety Of Routes Needed

The other thing to bear in mind that routes need to be marketable to a wider audience - Woodhead and S&C are well known even to those with only a passing interest in railways but who enjoy using Railworks. S&C even moreso as possibly one of the most famous routes in the world. On the other hand, sho...

Re: The UKTS Picture Pet Thread.................................

Sorry to hear about Tiddles, Martin. However I'm sure you can take comfort in the face you gave her a fantastic life, and have some wonderful memories to cherish.

Re: North Atlantic Tracks for FS9 (using radar contact V4)

If you use some of the more advanced addons, you can program the FMC to fly the tracks. It is also possible to find which tracks are in use online - though I've forgotten where since I no longer use flight sim. I'm not sure if you can set the default aircraft to fly them, though there may possibly b...

Re: Road Tolls/Charging are coming - apparently?

A bigger worry is the proposed use of the hard shoulder at "Pinch Points". How many times have you heard the advice to get out of your broken down car and stand behind the crash barrier?. If it is too dangerous being parked on the hard shooulder imagine what it will be like parked in a moving lane ...

Re: Confusion reigns over number of posts indicated

[moderatoravatar]
I suspect this will be down to older posts being archived - currently a bit of a clear out of the Open Forum is going on, and so any posts removed that were yours will be deducted from your post count. Don't worry, the forum software hasn't gone mad! :)
