Dan, I've had over 40 kidney stones in the last 20 years so I'm pretty sure when I'm having one. It's really the cold thing that sucks. Hope to be much better this weekend. Thanks!

Hey Steve, great to see you! Did you find out if you had a kidney stone? I really enjoyed that movie; I thought it was brilliant. Kinda wish WW2 had ended that way

Been sleeping most of the day...okay, so I watched Inglourious Basterds...great movie...but most of the day I've been resting. Feeling a little better. Coughing a little more under control. No kidney stone pain today. I know...TMI. Just wanted to check in with the land of the living. Headed to bed again. I hate missing work because of a stupid cold so I hope to kick this one quickly so I'm heeding my personal nurse Sophie and taking it easy....(she's my wife)

2D resizable pop-up windows for camera views and autopilot
Stereo sounds with truly innovative effects.
For example: open the pilot’s window and you hear the left engine’s sound from the outside. Open the co-pilot’s door, and you hear the right engine’s sound from the outside.
Gyro spins up seamlessly. It also “ducks” as engines are throttled up.
Engines sound different at low RPMs than they do at higher RPMs.
When the camera pans around, you can hear the props when the camera comes close to the front of the engines.
The radios now skip over unused frequencies. (Still operated by click-and-drag manipulators.)
Vastly improved manipulators on the Garmin 430
External night lighting has been improved over previous Carenado planes. More compatible with v10.
Reflecting glass on the gauges/dynamic reflections on spinners.
All analog numeric displays now have real 3D drum numbers (as opposed to animated textures)
Propeller blades look very realistic in side view, and the effect is almost holographic… in effect the appearance is remarkably like watching real props.
Side view of the props will change with blade pitch.
Counter-rotating props are modeled, just as in the real aircraft, and this makes for a very forgiving ride.
Differential thrust implementation in the throttle levers (throttle, mix, and prop all feature this implementation).
