Hey thanks guys, I appreicate all the help I can get. 
I still enjoy my Sub Sims, but it always bothered me that the only thing I could master in an Air Sims was crashing.  When I had this surgery and knew I would be laid up for a period of time I decided this was a great time to try again. 
Most of the flight sims I have are older than dirt, my F/A 18 OIF would play on XP.  I had given my joy stick away, it was a very cheap one any way so I bought a Flight Stick Pro and Falcon 4 AF. 
I will be honest I learning I have basic flight down and I am doing well in taxi and take off.  Today I will try to learn to land-never was worth a d.. at that. 
On key board I had an e-mcahine board hooked up and swaped it out for a microsoft board just to see it that would make a difference, can't really tell.  I wish I could get a copy of the Key setup but can't copy the one one the setup screen, darn there are a lot and I have not figured even 15% of them yet. 
Some thing I don't understand with this site, I am setup for notification but I don't recieve them, any suggestions?  Well now wait a minute, I just noticed a box at the bottom of this and it was not check, so now I will see what happens. 
  
Any way I do appreciate the help,
