One wish though, like with old version... could you make drop down box longer when selecting planes?

Cheers.

Hi,

I've looked at that in the past, and basically it's beyond my programming skill. Sorry

Changing regional settings to english worked for me

Thank you very much

Hardball: VC6 or Visual c++.net?

Where did you code this

VB5. The standard drop-down boxes have limited scope for modification. I did find some code that apparently worked around this, but it was too complex for me.

What you can do, though, is type the first 1 or 2 letters or numbers of the aircraft you're looking for and the list will instantly snap to that part of the alphabet. Try that, and you might find the length of the list isn't so much of an issue.

Good news. You're my No.1 Windows 7 beta-tester! I'll put this issue into the next ReadMe.

It's a painful first step from legacy VB to .Net, but let me assure you it's a bright shiny world with grassy meadows when you get there (after the expected transitional pain) . Don't put it off mate, just allocate the time you have available and do it!!

VB 2010 .Net is a whole other world, VB5 and 6 are merely chains around your ankles.

Cheers, CrazySchmidt.
