Ha !!  I know everybody was new at one time , but I was " NEWER " than  new !!  I did not have a computer until a short time ago ( actually longer than I probably realize now )  and was really struggling so I am glad to share my very limited knowledge  those who are also having a hard time .  I was really discouraged in the beginning because they talked about mysterious stuff like aliasing  and also I would download a nice big plane only to find it had a Cessna 182 instrument panel !!!

I sought help , but they were way above me and kept saying complicated stuff like " click " on such and such .  I was wondering -- what is this " click " on stuff they are talking about and what is a directory and what do they mean by path and copy something to something or other ???? 

Needless to say , I had quite a difficult time to say the least , but got lots of good help eventually . 

In the beginning , I kept wishing for the next simulator so I could have more planes to fly .  Just for the heck of it one day I searched for add-on planes for the simulator ( fully expecting to find nothing ) and could not believe this site ( and some others ) .  I started with Simviation and began downloading everything I could find .   I then began to worry because I was afraid I would get a multi-million dollar bill for all of the planes I had downloaded .   I was then wondering how to give them back !!!!???  HA !!

I just could not believe that all of these wonderful planes were available for free .  I am still like a kid in a candy store and love to browse through here .  The forum is really neat also .

Thanks to everybody who has dedicated so much of their time so we can enjoy so much of this wonderful world of flight simulation .   My Mom keeps saying that it just a game and not " real " .   Little does she know !!!!!!!!!!!
