Been playing with this version a bit. My system is an 800 MHZ
PIII, 256 MB RAM, ATI All-in-Wonder 128. Set X-Plane res to
match my screen (1152 x 834 x 32 or whatever) and X-Plane
now seems to exit cleanly as long as I use the menu.

Ive cranked the rendering options to the max and the frame
rate is still smooth even when I intentionally made a less
than smooth landing. FS2000 frame rate tanks during roll.

Of course X-Plane doesnt have much scenery in the vicinity
of HIO.

I used Plane-maker to hack one of the stock a/c into
something resembling my 1964 Skylane. Still needs
some tuning but its close enough to shoot an ILS
own nav.

Using the hardware trim on my Virtual Pilot Pro doesnt
seem to agree with X-Plane. Better to use the software trim.
