It's a much nicer system than what I have set up as a flight simulator - although I am now using XP-11.

That's an interesting position. But, I guess if you're going fishing, you need to go where there's water.

I just installed a copy of X-Plane 11 today (8 DVD Discs). It really is a step up from MSFS-X, and I like it better than FlightGear 2020. I haven't been able to load MSFS 2020, the download would take ages at my 12 Mbps connection. I wish I had the money for the Honeycomb. It always gets...

I would seriously look at renting until you get a feel for the area. Traffic is so unpredictable there. If she will be at JRB Carswell, that opens up the NW quadrant, and some places around White Settlement and out towards Weatherford could be a better choice. There are more direct and not as...

Entered with my spam account. What's to lose?

Too late, I already pulled the trigger on Sunday. It was $59 through MyPilotStore.com, so that's not horrible. I received my i7-7700 yesterday ($203 after taxes) and the computer seems to have accepted the transplant. The demo version is still running at 35 or better fps even after boosting...

Dang. Now I'm going to have to buy XP-11. I won't go the download route though, ordering a CD. I will start shopping around this week, but I bet MyPilotSore or Sporty's will be the best place to start.

Thanks for posting that setup video. I am going to experiment with the setting tomorrow. I actually got real air time today. Quite bumpy, but I did get to perform my first landing. Yep, floated a bit, but it's a long runway. Woo hoo, four hours in my logbook now! Edit - OK, I jumped on in...

How do I do that? I think that I remember seeing it as being enabled when nVidea was loading all of the drivers and control center. And, XP-11 is up and running on the semi-potato! Graphics are only slightly better than FSX running in ultra, but everything else is running smoothly. No video...

I was aware of that, I just wanted to give it a re-try. I had downloaded it before any mods to the "potato", and when I tried to start it kindly laughed and suggested I keep plodding along on MSFS-X. I was just wondering if a different GPU, RAM and faster disc access would change it's mind. I...

Ah! Thanks. A couple more upgrades (kludges?) and my "potato" may be able to run that. My son says that's what the hard-core gamers call my budget minded HP slim desktop. A potato. I upgraded to a 1TB SSD, maxed out RAM (16GB), and installed a barely passable video card I received today...

For those of you running X-Plane 10 or 11, could you do me a huge favor? I would like for you to look at how KSEP is represented in the scenery for those programs. I have an aging MSFS-X SE I use for the most part, but I've also downloaded and started using FlightGear Flight Simulator 2020. In...

An easy way to test would be for the OP to take a very full breath, and with lungs full bend over at the waist - as far as possible. If the result is an obvious change in heart rate, then I would go along with vagus nerve stimulation issues. What makes it worse is if you have an existing...

Full tummy stimulating the vagus nerve?

Thank you. I am not familiar with either of those two games you used as a reference though. I am not a gamer, but wanted a flight simulator as I'm a student pilot. A very low hour student pilot, battling weather and a busy schedule, as well as instructor plane downtime. Sounds like I need to...

Ahh, thanks. What areas would you say that XP-11 excels in, when compared to FSX?

My main complaint with FSX is the graphics. I realize that they were probably state of the art in 2000, but much has changed since then. Are the graphics in XP-11 better? If so, are you able to articulate how much better?

Just curious - is X-Plane 11 an improvement over FSX? I am seriously thinking about upgrading to X-Plane (11) if so. Less hardware-intensive as MSFS 2020.

My wife pointed to the space between the club seating and stated that there definitely was room for a porta-potti.

I see what you did there!
