BUT leveld have said they might do a complete remake of the 767

No doubt that will now become "a promise" from LDS, such is the way of FS fora :(

So long as I get my 200LR and 300ER I'm happy. I want to fly ultra long flights!! Hopefully they simulate the efb aswell. Or maybe they model the standard 200 + 300 then in the aircraft manager you can select whether you want lr er etc. Who knows but I think the 777 will be something special when it comes.

Hopefully they simulate the efb aswell.

+1 :(

Oops, I did mean the LevelD 757. I was wishing for that one in 2010, but that dream will have to wait. I wish one of the Boeing's fore mentioned would be released soon.

I will pay $6000 for a new Alienwre computerMy wife will never find out.

Or... how about paying $1500 or so for parts that are just as good, build it yourself and then use the remaining $4500 to take your wife on vacation?

Well theres always the PMDG 777 for FLY if your that desperate: http://www.avsim.com/pages/0901/pmdg_fly_777/pmdg_fly_777.html :(

56kers may enjoy that one too, check out that download size ;)

Far too good to your wife Ryan....Think I would do 4500 on computer then send wife away on 1500 vacation, so I could play on it....hmmm maybe thats why I not married?

lolBut seriously, Alienware charges an outragous amount for the same stuff that you could build yourself at a much lower cost.If you are interested in looking at how much it would cose to build a comperable machine, take a look at newegg.com. Also, when you build your own PC you'll need a case. I highly recommend the Antec Twelve-Hundred.

Have to agree...home build is always a far better option, also best way to learn and understand what everything is doing. You can decide where the cash goes, depending on your usage etc.

I priced out a six core, liquid system top end maxed out rig. It costs about $4000 in parts. Is there any way I buy $4000 in parts and can't get the machine running? Then what do I do? Any Long Island/New York simmers who would like to make some $$ and build my next top of the line rig?

What are the full specs you priced? It's almost a certainty you're including things that aren't necessary if it's coming to $4000. SLI/Crossfire video cards for instance are almost completely useless in FSX. 12GB of RAM - ditto. Liquid cooling is nice but it can be a serious pain to deal with and isn't necessary at all to get the CPU to 4+GHz and FSX running well.

What I am afraid of is buying $3,500 in parts and it doesn't work. (that's what I come up with) $1000 for Intel 970X six core, $400 for a liquid cooled case, $850 for dual GeForceGTX480 cards, $280 for a mother board, $100 for any good HD, $200 for RAM, $110 for a 1000 watt power supply, $100 for a CD/DVD, $100 for Windows 7, and I am up to $3000 already. I am sure I'll need $500 more in stuff. So yes, Alienware makes $2,000 on me. I'd offer someone $500 - $1000 to help me build the ultimate PC.Paul Gugliotta

I would save the $500-$1000,and do it my self. I tottally understand your worry, I just built my own "ulitmate pc" using almost the exact same parts you describe. That was my first ever PC build, and to be honest it only took me 2 hours taking my time. I just watched several you tube videos, on how to mount the processor etc etc. followed the instructions in the mobo's manual about where all the wires go, and away I went. Its really not rocket science at all. I goofed up a few minor things, like some of the power to some fans, and video card power, but as far as I have been told, even if you mess something up wiring wise, its not going to fry, it just wont work untill the problem is corrected.

I too did exactly the same as Shane, just watched a load of YouTube videos and read the hardware manuals. I thought the hardest bit was the actual setup of the HDDs in the BIOS. But after a while it was easy.
