HunterDad,
If you want to discuss real flying, not flight sim hardware or software, this is the right forum.
If you want advice on flightsim stuff, there are websites dedicated to that where you would find more knowledgeable (and more sympathetic) people.
In your previous thread (that you deleted) you were mixing up a whole lot of topics in a single thread / post, which is unlikely to elicit satisfactory responses to any of them.
My suggestion would be to separate the topics into individual threads - having checked to see if your questions have already been discussed previously (via the Search facility).
