February 18, 200818 yr Yesterday, for the first time since I started flight simming, I finally, and successfully, completed a long haul flight with a heavy duty addon aircraft (the wonderful PMDG747-400), FSCommander, Radar Contact and a few other applications, running across a network of PCs, whilst running FS on my main PC. At one point, i had three PCs linked, all using their own monitor, but utilising a KVM switch on two of them. It all got a Windows 10 (x64) - X-Plane 11 - M/B: Asus ROG Maximus IX Hero - CPU: i7 7700k (@5.0GHz) - RAM: 32Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 @ 3200MHz - Video: GTX1080ti - Cooling: Custom water loop (EK 140 Revo D5 pump/res combo, EK EVO CPU block, EK XE360 Rad)
February 18, 200818 yr Commercial Member Hi Phil,what a great story to share. I'm so glad you pulled through all of this. We had a couple of scary months in the simFlight forums last year wondering whether we'd ever see your famous giraffe avatar again.Interesting point about networking PCs and "farming out" add-ons like RC.Keep on rocking!Cheers, Holger
February 18, 200818 yr Author Phil,Even after 20+ of simming it's still amazing that there's always something left to explore.I know exactly how you feel after a long haul like that one, especially the first! It's awesome! For me it was the first time I used actual real world NAT tracks to an overseas airport in Europe. Now I've been flying 'domestic' Europe...LOL.Glad to hear you seem to be doing good.We wish you many more 12 hour + flights for ya!! :-halo :-wave Jeff D.
