In defense of Dell stuff, the thing that has me looking at them is the warranty. You get the Plus warranty and, if anything goes wrong, they send someone to your house and fix it, usually the next day. I think they're about 5-10% slower than the top end stuff so it's a trade off.

I didn't notice it was an HP...I just looked at the specs. I've owned one HP in my life and it had issues. I hope this one doesn't because I ended up getting rid of it. I'm not in the slightest interested in overclocking or pushing past specs. I want something to perform and use it for years. Honestly, the only thing I think I'd upgrade on it would be harddrives.

Okay, I'll look them up. I've had Alienware laptops and XPS desktops for years. I love their warranties. They've always taken care of issues. Never had an Alienware desktop. EDIT: They have their grand opening in Charlotte May 10. This one is similar to the Alienware: https://www.microcenter.com/product/677549/hp-omen-45l-gt22-2090-gaming-pc Gregg

That's the other possibility, I guess. Have someone local build it for me.

I guess, really it comes down to the fact that I don't want to build my own this time so I'm looking for a prebuilt. I want to avoid the build yourself forums.

I'm looking at this one which has an RTX 4090. https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/desktop-computers/alienware-aurora-r16-gaming-desktop/spd/alienware-aurora-r16-desktop/useahctor16i08 They also have a model with a 4080Ti here. https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/desktop-computers/alienware-aurora-r16-gaming-desktop/spd/alienware-aurora-r16-desktop/useahbtsr16igxxd I've had Dell XPS computers for years and been happy with them. Thoughts? Gregg

I am looking forward to a Fulcrum yoke once things get back up and running.

I just bought KPHX from ORBX and the bridges are messed up for me. I don't have any other KPHX terrain mod.

I feel like we're being buried in add-ons. Gregg

Wouldn't it be great if GSX would maintain all those airport files and download it for you on demand? THAT would make it easy. Gregg

Wow. Good for you!

If I recall, it used to hold a lot of water.

I wonder how that magnesium tail is doing.

Nicely done.

That's about my experience too...improving framerate around airports like KEWR and EGLL. I'm studying the TLOD thing. I saw someone post that, as TLOD goes higher, the night lighting of large cities in the distance looks significantly better. To me, that looks to be true though I haven't done much experimenting yet.
