Guys, my Nvidia 7900 GT told me today that would not start again as it feels tired and wasted,....time for a new GPU, will try to fly ASAP, but who
knows,....

C'mon: why don't you just admit that you locked yourself out of the FSPWT site...

Managed to fix that one for you, don't know if I can do much about the GPU, I'm afraid..

[aristoteles]

When trying to type my password correctly and thinking about my broken GPU I locked my account, what a nice day, BTW thanks a lot DBE.

Arrrghhhhhhh!! Not my day,....DBE I am not authorised to reactivate my account,...

Downloaded the freeware scenery for Kai Tak but am unsure of exactly where to put the AFCAD file that came with it. Would I place it in the
World Airports scenery folder or Addon Scenery/scenery folder(the directions were not exact on this)? When I activated the airport scenery
and landclass, I noticed only RWYS 07L/R and 25L/R were available.

Would it be better to download the photoreal scenery instead of the freeware one?

Aristoteles...sorry to hear about your GCU problems. You have overworked the thing with all of those great screenies and vids

[pegase]

The freeware scenery seems to be OK with the afcad in Addon Scenery/scenery

Did some training yesterday. At first attempt , I barely saved my a$$ with a go around. On the the second, the landing was quite rough, but
on the rwy.

That's probably because I already did..

Great stuff, Pierre!

I first thought you had turned too early, but it turned out to be a good landing after all.

It was indeed too early and as you can see I get a bit drifted on th right of the runway. But it is easier to reajust than turning too late, I tried
both solution

What I did not tried yet is turning just in time

Good video Pierre. Honestly, I thought Kai Tak was just about doing an approch very low over some tall buildings, didn't expect the last minute 90
degree turn on short finals

Ahhh, I put the AFCAD in the World Airports scenery folder...as the instructions stated(place the AFCAD where all of the airport AFCADs
are located). Now I have to go back and make the adjustment

Oh yes...I did rebuild the database through FSNAV after I placed the AFCAD in the right place. I only had time to do FSNAV but will do RC4
later this evening
