Flyboy, thanks for the reply and the welcome. Sorry for the delay to respond. The comp that LB2 is on doesn't have internet access, plus its in the basement. (Great exercise).

As far as the cussing goes it was probably just my perception. Seemed like I heard it at least once a session, only got back into the game in the last twoweeks

Hopefully I can get close to your display modes. When I originally got LB2, I only had an underpowered P II.

Corrected the tearing problem with the MFDs by using some of your glide wrapper settings, specifically turning on hardware T&L.

I have some questions about the ini files, but I'll leave them for a separate post

Will experiment some more and report back.
