As a fellow newbe I concur with Spitfire007, I was almost on the verge of going back to FSX, then got serious and really researched all the KB and discussion subjects to fix the issues I had in trying to get the mods working properly.Finally got a handle on it and now enjoying the game, which by the way is immensly stimulating rather than full on simulations such as FSX etc. This game is way better now I have mod issues sorted it is going to get even better. My thanks go to all the guys in this community particularly Dave always the wiseman makes you think about what you are doing before attempting something rash, Migbuster, Wrench, Fubar and a host of others, the advice has been great. My issue updating from Vista to Windows 7 as the system was rather than a clean install, I recomend clean install and reinstalling all games and mods. Keep up the great Guys.
