May 8, 201313 yr I'm also deciding on the Dell U3011 30'. Monitor. By all accounts it's awesome for flightsim. Imagine the NGX with that. But it's pricey. I went from Eizo Foris 24" to U3011 30" and it is awesome in FSX with res 2560x1600x32. That was back at another expensive weekend...
May 8, 201313 yr I'm also deciding on the Dell U3011 30'. Monitor. By all accounts it's awesome for flightsim. Imagine the NGX with that. But it's pricey. I've had mine for just on a year now. Bought it with my i7-3770K machine. It gave me a whole new flight sim experience. Flying the NGX and the AXE is a real treat. It is also great for video - watching GolfCharlie232's 737 video productions in HD is absolutely breathtaking. Turning the volume up for his Audiomachine tracks helps the immersion...wow :Drooling: If you can afford the U3011, get it. One other added advantage - two copies of the 'A43' explorer clone side by side make backups/copying a breeze. ..now to download the AXE 1.1...hee hee. Have to fly...

May 8, 201313 yr - Chubu Centrair (Pacific Island Simulations) - Fukushima (Wing Creation Inc) Can you let me know your thoughts on these airports? Am thinking of purchasing and would love to hear your feedback. Hirdy. @@Hirdy2013 Both absolutely excellent. Amazingly frame-rate friendly, and visually great too. I have everything that Graham (from Pacific Island Simulations) has ever released and they're all fantastic. I really hope he does more Japanese airports. The developer of the Fukishima airport is a new guy as far as I know, but it too is brilliant.
May 8, 201313 yr Yeah and I wanted to drop some money on a new RC radio and the blade 120SR helo... And then get the Q400 and the TBM when it comes then the XP challenger that is now 64bit compatible. Ouch! Funny you mention the Blade heli, just got one myself yesterday ! not easy but I love it ! Alain from Montreal PS you know the phrase, " difference between man and boy is the price of toys " ?

May 8, 201313 yr Well I bought the Q400 the weekend it released, and the AXE a week or two later when it was on sale. Both worth it!
May 8, 201313 yr Commercial Member Has anybody splurged on that Mega Rio de Janiero scenery? The vids on it look amazing but was wondering about FPS as it is such a large area? Also agree about Pacific Island Sims. They tend to fly just under the radar as far as publicity. I have several of theirs... good price - nice add-ons. Clutch Intel i9-12900KF, Asus Prime Z690-A MB, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, (3) SK hynix M.2 SSD (2TB ea.), 16TB Seagate HDD, Gigabyte GeForce 5080 RTX, Corsair iCUE H70i AIO Liquid Cooler, UHD/Blu-ray Player/Burner (still have lots of CDs, DVDs!) Windows 10, (hold off for now on Win11), EVGA 1300W PSUNetgear 1Gbps modem & router, (3) 27" 1440 wrap-around displaysFull array of Bravo, Saitek and GoFlight hardware for the cockpit. Varjo and HP VR headsets for mixed reality.

May 9, 201313 yr Mmm , I bought fssim vfr Canaries package on download & dvd cos I'd seen some YouTube vids & it looked amazing , I also bought the 2 highest definition airports from orbx , bella coola & Stewart as recommended in pc pilot mag , dvd versions being shipped from Australia to UK. <p> Paul Sleight
May 10, 201313 yr Interesting thread- @ OP, I can endorse the comments of others here that the NGX and MD11 are great aircraft- and the realistic modeling of the MD11 systems makes you really appreciate this bird that has more automation than the B777. I have yet to get the Q400, but have heard rave reviews about the FM, made possible by developing outside the FSX core. I should get that one of these days. Bruce. ASEL, Instrument. KBJC, Colorado.
May 10, 201313 yr Has anybody splurged on that Mega Rio de Janiero scenery? The vids on it look amazing but was wondering about FPS as it is such a large area? I bought it and it's pretty awesome. I have no issues with FPS, even with the NGX.
May 10, 201313 yr Where do you guys hide from the wives after making those purchases,I hid in my son's room for a couple weekends till she calmed down after an FSX spending spree to upgrade my rig! Thanks, O. Skinner
