February 6, 200521 yr This was one of the largest events I have participated in in Vatsim. It was very gratifying to see all the aircraft. But, as I was trying to contact approach and make a transition for vectors toward landing, my computer locked up. To make a long story short, I could not finish a flight in which I had invested almost 3 hours.I think I have a hefty enough computer, 2.6mh mobo oc'd to 3.13. I use Ken Salter's startup program to shut down unneeded programs to devote as mmuch resource as possible to FS9.My question is whether anyone else with similar iron has had this problem on large vatsim flyins. And, once FSINN is out of Beta, will that cure the overload problem, or is this something I'm just stuck with because my computer cannot handle all the traffic? Thanks for reading this far, and congrats to everyone who put together what was almost a great flyin experience for me...Shem
February 6, 200521 yr My computer did just fine. I've had what I presume to be some "lag" at other fly-in events, but the JAX event went OK for me, computer-wise.Overall, I thought the Super Bowl Fly-in was terrific. I experiencedmy first hold, then got diverted to Savannah due to the heavy traffic. This is the kind of unpredictability that makes VATSIM flying so much fun. The ATC guys all did a great job.Can't wait for the next event.Slugger
