There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Hello Hertzie,
I had high hopes for Combat Flight Simulator when it first came out. It was my first real flight simulator to the point where I went out and bought a brand new Microsoft Sidewinder joystick along with the game. When I first tried to run it, nothing displayed correctly. I put it back on the shelft for a few months. That was when my neighbor, a retired Air Force Colonel, invited me to check out his (Combat) Flight Simulator installation. I was surprised. Things worked fine over there. Frame rates were annoyingly low, but everything displayed.
I soon figured out he had a 3D graphics card and I did not. That was the next purchase.
Even then, I never flew with a panel displayed because it would drop the frame rates too much. I was a lot more concerned with pretty visual models.
