Default RE: Free sim R/C Desk Pilot

I have RCDP installed on my netbook - Windows 7 Starter Edition with a 1.6 Ghz processor : Pretty minimalistic, but it runs fine with the graphics all set up on "High"

In fact, it runs better than most of my other programs - FMS would not even install, not that I would really use it with RCDP running so well!  
One thing that I found that really transformed the program from a sim to "actually flying" was plugging my netbook into my television. With a large screen tv taking up your immediate forward view plus the fact you are standing up, I found myself flying as if I was at the field without the "it's on a computer" over confidence.

With all of the new aircraft added with the program, and GGunnersons addons, it really is a great sim. It would be nice to see some average sized glow models similar to what you would find a the field on any given day: 60-70 inch wingspan low wing sportsters and the like.

Keep up the great work!
