November 11, 20223 yr I'll download & load up to see what's changed/broken, then load up the Glider for a go in that first before attempting to fly a Chopper around a City like New York or somewhere.

November 11, 20223 yr Microsoft Flight SImulator is mainly responsible that I got super interested in everything aviation related and in the end made my PPL and gliding licnese, signed up in our local flying club where I met a bunch of great people whom i call friends now. So, this little software that came on some floppys and later DVDs influenced my life pretty badly (in a good way🙂) I will definitely fire MSFS up today, download the update and enjoy one of the great givaways we get in SU11 (most probably the A310, the DC3 or the DG1001).

November 11, 20223 yr I'll definately have a flight from Meigs for nostalgia/novelty value, the whole 40th anniversary thing though, meh..... today is notable for far more important reasons

November 11, 20223 yr Might upgrade to the Intel 386DX @24Mhz Turbo with 4MB ram and the RGB monitor. Fire up DOS for old time sake and stare at a flashing cursor for an hour before figuring out you must type CD:\flightsimulator first.

Weren't they 25, 33, 40 MHz? A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... 🙂 Laminar Research customer -- Asobo/MS customer -- not an X-Aviation customer - or am I? 😉
November 11, 20223 yr Told my GF I want to rest at home tonight; I'll see her tomorrow. Today, after I return from my job, I'll fire up MSFS, start the update, go to the park for a walk, return and try a flight in the A310. If the update is not finished yet, I'll keep on retuning (or debloating) my rig, after my OS went Tango Uniform last weekend and had to reformat. Miraculously, I could recover MSFS in record time: just reinstall Steam, point it to my current Steam downloads (including MSFS, which was in an unaffected drive), reactivate Fenix A320 (because I had it installed on C:\) and replacing the exe.xml with a backup (so that I could ensure FSUIPC7 launched with MSFS). Less than an hour doing all that 😎 Best regards,Luis Hernández Main rig: self built, AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D (with SMT off and CO -50 mV), 2x16 GB DDR4-3200 RAM, Nvidia RTX 5060Ti 16GB, 256 GB M.2 SSD (OS+apps) + 2x1 TB SATA III SSD (sims) + 1 TB 7200 rpm HDD (storage), ID-Cooling SE-224-XTS air cooler, Viewsonic VX2458-MHD 1920x1080@120-144 Hz (G-sync compatible), Windows 11.

November 11, 20223 yr I will be going onto the main forum and complaining about how ai traffic is now worse than it was in su10
November 11, 20223 yr I am going to dig my Sinclair ZX Spectrum out of the cupboard, run the flight simulation from Psion which released in 1982 and watch squiggly lines move about my monitor! I think they call this nostalgia. We've come along way since then.😉 SpoilerSystem specs: MFG Crosswind pedals| ACE B747 yoke |Honeycomb Bravo throttleNow built: P3Dv5.3HF2: Intel i5-12600K @4.8Ghz | MSI Z690-A PRO | Asus Dual RTX 4070 Super OC 12Gb| 32Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200Mhz |Samsung 980Evo Pro PCIe 500Gb | WD Black SN850 PCIe 2Tb | WD SA510 4Tb |beQuiet 802 Tower Case|Corsair RM850 PSU | Acer Predator X34P 3440x1440pMark AldridgeMSFS2024 SU5 & P3D v5.3 HF2

I cant remember that long ago lol. A search history says it was 16-33Mhz CYVR LSZH I7-14700k 64gb 6000Mhz DDR5 ASUS z690 ROG STRIX Gaming RTX 4080 Super,
November 11, 20223 yr I think Meigs is going to get very very busy 🙂 But for me it's probably also going to be a Meigs takeoff in the just flight enhancement pack for 172
November 11, 20223 yr Meigs Field to Willard, in Champaign. VOR-to-VOR using the 172. That will bring back old memories for sure. Then it's glider time in Arizona! Enrique Vaamonde
November 11, 20223 yr Commercial Member I start my emulated East-German KC85/3, load the game "Cockpit" from an emulated tape, listen to the screechy loading sounds for two minutes, finally start the plane and crash as usual shortly after takeoff. Mario Donick .:. vFlyteAir
