Ortho4xp height files, overlays and running on separate computer?
VERY true, I can't stand to run around Oklahoma City without ortho. LOL. It's just seeing the dam in the proper place at the lakes, there is the state capitol, worst of all, there is my house, Hey the shed in the back yard is THERE, go around to the other side of the house, there is the carport, not to mention my neighbors, some of there cars sitting in the driveway. Fortunately I can fly other places and be happy without ortho as I am not so familiar with the streets in other large cities.

Recommendation for yoke and rudder set
I have found over the years, whatever is cheaper at the time. I am currently using the Saitek Cessna Yoke and Pedals, they work well and the yoke comes with a separate throttle quadrant. In the past I have used and liked CH products. In my opinion they all work well. I don't know about the really expensive controls, as I haven't used the really expensive stuff whose names escape me right now :wub: but I rather suspect they don't work any better than the CH or Saitek brands. Just my uneducated guess and opinion.

EVGA Triton 6GB $1009 @ egg. that should do. PS I don't have it, just want it. :wub:

X-Plane X Unuseable
It helps sometimes to move all your joysticks or controllers through their complete movements before starting to actually fly but after loading an aircraft. For instance I use the Saitek Cessna trim control, but if I don't wiggle it around after loading an aircraft and just start flying, the first time I try to trim the controller it will go to full up trim. Of course the plane will pitch up dramatically. Another thing is to make sure a autopilot is not engaged at takeoff. I have had that accidently happen on occasion and strange things sometimes occur. If it was the program that was faulty, everyone would probably be having this problem. Obviously not everyone is. Hope you get it ironed out.

New to X-Plane 10 Hat switch look around controls question
I simply use the arrow keys the few times I am in outside view.

Instrument Panel View set up question
Different planes will require a different lateral view setting. Even planes from the same developer will usually require you to reset the view to your comfort level.

Cloud shadows
Hopefully 1030 won't be worse. LOL I expect it to be better, my experience in life tells me it is never as good as it should be, but it is never as bad as it could be.

XPX and graphic cards
Thanks for that Longranger. I have been using a 2GB GTX 560 for quite a while actually it does quite well for its age. I really need to upgrade my whole system, but that will be a bit longer before I do.

XPX and graphic cards
Another amateur question. Will the PCI Express 3.0 cards work in a PCI Express 2.0 x16 motherboard?

How many people are aware of what phase the moon is in?
All very good observations, thanks for the participation. i do have to say, I have a little over 100 hrs of night flight, and I have never once looked at the moon when flying at night. At least not to navigate. To me the most important aspect of simulation is to get as accurate flight model as possible, while working within the envelope, and that the navigation aids are reasonably accurate. for an accurate flight model I find the Carenado Archer II to be the go to plane. (I'm strictly a GA pilot). I wouldn't be surprised if most of their planes are on the mark, but the Archer and the Cessenas are the only ones I have real world time in. HAPPY NEW YEAR to all,

How many people are aware of what phase the moon is in?
I had forgotten all about that aspect, not to mention Vamps etc. Vampires I am sure are aware, but most werewolves in my experience don't really realize they are. They just come to themselves afterwards and wonder how they got there. As an aside that used to happen to me a lot. especially when i was in San Diego.
