This is my rig runs ORBIX Aus & NZ, PMDG NGX 737 etc. Happy to help anyone who has questions about FSX installations.

Nice rig... The corsair coolers are popular hehe.... I like my H60 - does the job just fine! Probably need to clean it this spring ick!

Ryan, the H80 is fantastic when it comes to cooling, but annoyingly loud on medium, and worse on high. :sad:I am looking to replace the fans with quiet ones from Noctua.

Any rad fan on high is going to be noisy. Corsair's fans are good with decent static pressure, so I'd stick with them. A better idea to combat noise and make better airflow is to mod or buy fan shrouds. Most noise on radiator fans are caused from the disrupted air at the radiator grill. Shrouds help with that. In the H80's case, there are two fans making noises at two places. The case grill and the radiator grill. That makes for an interesting shroud mod, but also means a fan upgrade will not help much at all with noise.

Thanks for the insight Zach, very interesting,

You would need more radiator area to have the same temps with lower speed/quiter fans.

Guys. I really admire all your dedicated FSX rigs. Mine was am multimedia system at first but has been changed into an system which I think is usable for everything. But mine is nothing worth to show, no fancy light effects or case, just an black one with some stickers on it. If you nevertheless wanna see it, just say and I try to get some pics.

Absolutely Steffan,This is not a supermodel walkway here. Besides you have interesting specs, so please take those pictures and upload here!Kind regards,

I see what I can do.

Here is a pic of my setup. Recently added a trim wheel and the autopilot radio on the iphone.All built with cost saving as a top priority.

That looks good Manuel. How do you like the trim wheel? Have been sort of thinking of getting one.Kind regards,

Nice one! I´m saving up for a yoke like this (No FSX Addons for 3 months, that´s a pain!!).

Thanks Stephen, I only got it three days ago but the initial impression is very good.Controlling the elevator trim on the Realair B60 with the trim wheel is easier than with the little switches on the yoke.I completed a short leg without using the autopilot at all.I never flew a real plane so I cannot say if it works like the real one.

It doesn't work like the real aircraft. At least not GA.To my knowledge, and experience, I can say that in real aircraft (at least, the one that I flew), you first set your stick THEN set the trim. Setting the trim without prior setting of the stick/yoke is really really hard.That was in the Katana.I guess on the bigger commercial airliners, you set the trim without touching the yoke, but I would guess that the yoke "moves" while you set it - real pilot please confirm.

Here is my setup... Pics of Word Not Allowed's throttle setup set off a nasty downward spiral and here is the result:From left to right:Android Tablet (Fun)Acer 28 inch powered by C2D e8500 @4.5 (silver case to left) (also powering monitor above main screen) (Web browsing, video editing, I-Tunes, Network Storage)Samsung 20 inch and Dell E4300 for work (No fun)Sony Bravia 32 inch powered by I5 @4.8 (black case to lower right) (too much fun) Main FS9, FSX, gaming box with 7 boot options for different sims/gamesHP 19 inch powered by IBM thinkpad (PFE/FDC/FSFK)Dell inspiron w/I5 cpu and 6 gigs memory powering ASE, the touchscreen EFB in the lower left for charts/maps and general web browsing for guests.Painted Saitek Yoke, Dual Painted/customized Saitek throttle quads with custom built mount, Saitek rudders, Go-Flight LGTII gear/flaps/trim unit and Logitech G13 for customized key commands and macros so every FS command is now a single key press.And a partridge in a pear tree....Don't mind the cables, still working out some details on my EFB screen in the lower left...Left side of my setupStraight on to the main FS screen, a 32 inch Sony BraviaNotice the EFB in the lower left ;)And then the right side...For those that noticed the digital picture frame in the background, it is indeed a picture of me sitting on Shummy's 2005 F1 FerrariOne closeup of the EFBAnd the whole setup with a pic of my motorcycle right in front of me the whole time :)
