    I have noticed a new (?) option. Whenever I edit something, and I usually do edit my posts e.g. to make sure there are no mistakes, there comes this:Is there any chance to get rid of it?I am not sure on the benefits it might bring but at the same time it looks rather irritating.Thanks in advance!PS.

    [you],We have introduced a new feature which we hope will eliminate numerous duplicate posts asking the same questions and so on. This is a function that takes your entered topic and then provides you with up to five topics in the same forum that in some way relate to your topic subject. Here's a screen shot of that for this message: We hope you find this feature useful.

    I have a question that doesn't seem to fit into any of the categories listed on the forum homepage. I am looking for a "General Question" area I think.My question is: Does anyone happen to know what simulators the company "FlightDeck Air Combat Center" in Anaheim CA is using in their business? Here is a link to view the sims I am talking about. http://flightdeck1.comI think this would be an interesting business model, but I'm having difficultly locating similar equipment.Thank You.
