Nick,
You've probably thought of this before, or it's been suggested to you ... but have you thought about putting out a book covering the advice you've given in these forums? You might even call it "Nick's Suggestions, FSX" ... or similar. It would be so nice and useful to have in hand a comprehensive guide with the NO BS advice you've given out freely over the years. Now would be the time, and I think the market would be ready. Plus this might prolong the life of FSX. In any case, thanks for all your help. I have certainly benefited from your presence.

Now Nick I was serious.
I have most of your tips, guides and suggestions in a 3 hole binder for quick reference which is really nice, but most guys don't go to that much trouble, to copy and paste to a document. You could do the book for them and make some dough besides. But whatever .... don't go away, you are needed. For sure. But thanks for the momentary thrill anyway ... yes, I did check my wallet and then search!!

Someone here could write the book using Nick's posts as references. Then the ONE of us could make all the money! I've thought about this too and seriously don't know why it's not been done yet.
Nick, I'm not kissing your arse here. You ARE the foremost expert on FSX and computer HW for FSX. I've been simming since FSX came out and nobody even comes close! So a book (or manifesto, LOL!) would be welcomed and a much appreciated resource. And we wouldn't have to go searching thru all those posts, not that it's not fun.
I'd be willing to bet Nick posted his real picture on that last one, Ha Ha!

jwenham,
I have that one ... thank you, but I want the one that Nick advertised for "Dummies".
Ok .... all in favor of Nick writing a comprehensive guide say "Railroad"!

With all the work Nick's doing on other things, including GEXn Europe, he may not have time to write a book on tweaking. If he did start writing it, that would be more added to his workload, and then people would start complaining and putting him down because he doesn't reply as much on the forums because he's writing the book... We have the internet that stores all of Nick's information for us, and he's gone through plenty of trouble already writing several long, long posts and threads about tweaking correctly. Another thing to keep in mind is that every system is different, so if you have a book telling you what to do, you can't ask it what's best for YOUR system.

being a certified dummy, i think that an online book with this title would be great...especially since it could be upgraded, to accommodate the digital demons who love to make things complicated for us and keep us on a leash.....could be sold like payware aircraft ....with all the myriad maze of protections to assure that each person has a legal copy
.....it would sure be a relief to have one place to look...kinda of like a detective novel without an ending....nick probably doesn't need the money, so he could donate the profits to microsoft to supplement a new fs team
......would be a nice offering..as long as he could handle the dummy part
...but then again.....he has so much info on the forum, it probably wouldn't be worth the effort.....cheers......
