More shots of enyoying the new Ryzen 3800X... this CPU is quite a great drop in improvement.

 

The USA Pacific South West near Skagit Regional airport in the venerable Ant TigerMoth Pro, can be a real pain to start at times.

 

I've just installed a new livery on the Embraer B120.

 

And dropped my GTN 750 into it along with a few xml mods to make it easier to manage the condition levers and the fuel cuts (reduce pitch to bottom value, feather, then hit the fuel cut levers - R then L)

 

Didn't perform maintenance like I should have, engine is a little unhappy... I thought I wasn't going to make it to the airport what with the rough running and all the smoke.

Ahh these A2A planes require just an extra touch of love and regular flying.

 

On the ground fixes, engine done, now looking at the rest.

 

And finally one I haven't yet flown with my new CPU, but one I am looking forward to, the Beech 390 Premier IA.

 

It has that touch of luxury, like a new Benz or Lexus. Tahiti sounds nice 🙂

 

That's all folks.

Cheers

Had to laugh when I saw this - I've just been re-reading "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" and it has some great stories about how meaning can be totally changed by punctuation. This is not meant to be a dig, but I'm guessing that should read "a great drop-in improvement". Unless it really is a dog of a processor <grin>

But that aside, P3D is looking really good in those shots, you've got some great light in those, and both the Beech and the Embraer look great. Reminds me just how many fine aircraft I'm missing in MSFS.

And I hope the Ryzen gives you a whole lot of fun. I'm a fan of them too.

Heh, I see it now that I'm reading it after the fact...😀

We have a similar saying downunder - you're a wombat because you eat, roots and leaves.

Heres a link to "Australiana" a word play comedy skit, need to know a bit about Australian locations and such but some is pretty obvious and funny.

Let me just finish off by saying "the Ryzen 3800X has proven to be a great CPU upgrade needing only to be "dropped in" on my X370 Pro (BIOS updated) motherboard".

And yeah MSFS is the shiny new toy atm but I'm happy, things are very smooth in P3D for me and I've lots of planes to fly and live and historical weather to explore, plus my GTNs and a whole lot more.

I'll look further at MSFS if/when it meets my expectations, which involves more than just looking shiny, likely that's going to be a few years away given the current pace of 3rd parties and what MS/Asobo will allow.

Cheers

Cheers for that, enjoyed it (sport). It's weird, but I only have to listen to an Oz accent for a couple of minutes and I find myself thinking in it for hours afterwards. And if I actually talk to anybody with an accent I sort of slip into it myself. I think it's because my own accent is very much north London, and that's really not far off an Oz accent in lots of ways. Actually, I have a theory that probably most of the original crims shipped over there were probably from around those London areas and that's how the Oz accent was born (and I don't mean that in any derogatory way, I really do suspect there's some truth in the theory)

cheers,

Andy

You forgot the "Shoots" part. 😏
