Well, that was a little scary. Someone tried to hijack my Steam account. Next time you try to log in to Steam and it doesn't accept your name/password, do not do the automatic password reset. Somehow, someone was able to change the email associated with my account. Any password change attempt on my part would have sent the request to the spurious email addy. Instead, first check your email. I had gotten two notifications on an attempt to change my email, then a third saying it had been completed. One of the notifications had instructions for retrieving my account, which I was able to successfully do, then I changed my email back to what it was supposed to b…

Flight sim has been a big part of my life since I was a kid starting on FS98 flying the 737 everywhere I could think of VOR to VOR to now using the PMDG 737 in MSFS to prep for my type ride....

Tahnks to João Galaio for ths link, and the interesting information in it about the correct handling of the modern buses when it comes to following, or not, the Flight Directors, and swiching OFF or not the A/T.... In at least two of my jumpseat flights in A320 I did observe the PF switching OFF both FDs and also the AT, and manually flying the approach after the FAF in one instance and the IAF in the other ( still more than 20 NM from the airfield ).... FD off on the A320 - PPRuNe Forums
