Excellent video Bob!

Luckily for me my only botleneck with XP12 is finding time to play it more, and space - something my cat "Kagarini" steals whenever he finds his way into the desktop 🙂

Thanks, I really like his video's. They are straight forward and to the point, which is what you want in order to get the most out of X plane. I hope it helps a lot of folks with understanding the settings and getting it where they enjoy it more.

BTW I know what you mean trying to find the time. I'm retired and even for me sometime to find the time to do some flying and experimenting in X plane can be challenging. 

Off topic: I found the time  to make use of my old SSD that was use for  SSD cache for my mechanical drive mass storage where I put most of the Orbx library and other games and files. Orbx with all the TE that I have, Pacific Northwest, UK and Florida takes up 1.3 GB TB already. That is about equal to that what I have with both sim 11 and 12 loaded on the nvme drive. However I do have the new Orbx library for XP12 on the ndvm at least for now. I am going to test this today to see if some of load pauses are reduce with any improve load times. I don't expect miracles but I had it before on my old TUF series X79 Saberthooth which had built in SSD cache. I did see an 8 GB  TB SSD on Amazon going for $600.00. I figure that project will be later if this does not pan out the way I would expect, I keeping my fingers cross though. lol

Back on topic.

I believe you meant 8 TB ?  Yes that would be Great ( in all sorts of meanings Great means :-) )...

When around 1983 I got my first job at the portuguse representant for Motorolla, I was working with their recently released line of Unix Zilog-based "mainframes", and 512K costed 500,000$00 ( around 2500 euro )...

I am now fully nvm2 SSD in my sim rig. I believe I should keep making backups regularly... because this new technology is great in terms of cost-benefit, but they fail catastrophically, and there's nothing you can rcover 😕

Very interesting, when I move to my new position in 1999 and I was involve in supporting the Encore mainframe system although at the time I grab one of the Sun Workstation and started using it to have a view into the system from my desk. Those where some fun times back then.

I use Acronis regularly with schedule backups of the OS and the X plane drive so I don't have to think about it. 

More people should do that rather than going through the process of re installing everything, every time something goes wrong. It can put you back where you were and save lot of time troubleshooting a problem or getting your setting back to way you had it. Those are just the side benefit, but really, it is best way to recover if you loose a drive.
