What did you buy over the holidays and how do you like it?

[ACA034137 37]

I didn't buy anything flightsim related, but I did pick up Kerbal Space Program on Steam, and it's amazing!!  Anybody interested in space flight needs it!

[SirStiggie 63]

I finally built a PC for simming and I am quite happy with it.

 

Oh, and FSX SE and X-Plane 10 when Steam had the $5 and 50% off sales respectively..

[CrownCityMisfits 58]

12 Orbx airports, all PNW, for $170. I consider that a deal-and-a-half. Trying to fill out my NA collection before Socal releases (hopefully) some time this year.

 

I don't need anything else at the moment.

 

Happy New Year! Enjoy your new toys, I mean... new simulation software.

Dublin Mega Airport

 

The Aerosoft Version I take it, for PD3/Fsx? I have the Dublin Airoprt for X-Plane, it's certainly not Mega though.

[andrewr 2]

Aerosoft's Mega Airport Dublin, yes for FSX.

Carenado Seneca V (think this was on sale by accident)

Taxi2Gate

KMCO (big thumbs up)

MUHU (thumbs up)

MUCL (big thumb down - can't move in any of the parking area without a plane crash)

Razbam Metroliner (big thumbs up).

Orbx FTX Globa (big thumbs up)

I'm very disappointed that missed Flightbeam sale. Now I'm considering to move my flights to North America because of FSDT/Flightbeam series. Yesterday I couldn't resist and purchased KIAD. Now I feel that will never be settled until I get all of these terrific products!

[PinkJackal 86]

I've bought myself:

 

-128 Gb Samsung Evo SSD for windows

-256 Gb Samsung Evo SSD for FSX

 

I've changed my 16gb 1333mhz 4 sticks of RAM with, two sticks of 16gb 1866 Mhz

 

I hoped that by this move I'll make FSX to run butter smooth, but guess what, it didn't do anything!! I'm tired of tweaking and spending big money for this sim

 

I now have i74790K at 4.6ghz 16gb ram with EVGA gtx760 4gb OC and FSX still stuttering!

 

Oh well, lucky me!!

I don't know your full FSX situation, but my sim is working well at the moment.

 

i5 @ 4.52 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 750 Ti 2GB.

 

I followed Word Not Allowed's guide.

 

I followed the guide for Nvidia Inspector.

 

FSX is on an SSD

 

I'm now using the scenery config editor to only enable sceneries I'm flying over (backup your scenery.cfg before use!!)

 

I have a second PC for VPilot, ASN, EFB and other bits.

Santa wae very generous to me this past Christmas.

Under the Christmas tree I found:

Goflight MCP-Pro (don't understand how I could have been flying the airliners without it for so long!)
OrbX Global, Vector and OpenLC Europe.(OMG, Keep me low and slow, please!!)

FSX-SE (not installed, but wasted the $5 for a backup, and whatever the future brings for fsx)

I am a very happy flight simmer

I got FSX-SE and testing dual installed with FSX and also installed alone on another PC. This gives a performance boost better than replacing PC with any kit around right now. Also got a rega rp10/Apheta/Aria, and an Arcam A49 with D33 DAC, and also a pair of Spendor D7 floor standing speakers. Not tried it hooked up to the sim yet.

Hey Manfred! Good to see you around.
