Tuning ADF decimals

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

I don't think you can tune the .5's, but you might try tuning 1 higher, i.e.
351 for 350.5, and see if that works.

Sure there is...

Press AAAA to select the decimal tuning, then - to decrease or = to
increase...

There's this neat resource in FS, up on the toolbar, cleverly spelled
HELP...

Perhaps they should rename that menu item from Help to FREE BEER. Then maybe more people would notice/use it

Even better... it could be labelled:

`Reference Menu associated with Sexy Babes!'


or.. you could just bag the commands all together.

>Hey you even have a filing cabinet handy!

yes.. on top was a stack of CD-ROM drives separated with mouse pads.
To the right atop a low endtable was a secondary 15" monitor for use
with undocked Sim windows.. etc. It was about 2/3 the height of the
worktable. Now there are two 21" tubes side-by-side.

That old bag (the cmd ref board) is still over on the bookshelf.. and
comes in handy now and then.
