    I use a Lenovo ix2-dl NAS in raid-1 mode for back ups. I have an additional external drive hooked up to the usb port on the nas to back up the really important stuff with additional redundancy. I use Acronis true image to create images of my fsx pc's hard drives and store them on the nas. In the event of a fire or theft all is still lost so I use amazon prime to back up the REALLY important stuff...family photos and videos.

    I've been on the fence about switching ever since PMDG released P3d versions of their products. To be honest after reading this entire thread I am still on the fence. I have no doubt that P3d is the future but to me it just seems like a situation where "if it ain't broke don't fix it" applies. I am happy with my fsx installation and performance so for now it seems like I will stick with it until something fails at which point I will start fresh with P3d.

    What an awesome paint job! I had wondered what the 777 would look like as air force one. It would be awesome to see in real life. I look forward to doing a few flights in this while wearing a bath robe.

    So is the autopilot still twitchy? That's the sort of thing that has me on the fence on buying this product (that and the fact that kgs is the only option available for weights). I have become extremely picky about things behaving exactly as they do in real life which keeps me from straying too far from high fidelity simulations like those made by pmdg. I have been tempted by this addon in particular though.

    Very nice read. Some of my most challenging approaches have been with ASN.

    You just voiced your opinion while putting him down for voicing his. That said when ever I've experienced this it has been weather related such as turbulence. It has always gone away when I've moved into smoother air.

    The first time at the controls of a small plane after years and years of nothing but flight simulator was almost complete sensory overload for me. Glad I had a real pilot in the left seat or I would have never made it. I cant imagine what it would be like in a jet where everything is happening even faster than in a Cherokee.

    I think we will get a 737 v3 before an md-80. Edit: Not that I wouldn't gladly buy it.

    I bought PFPX when it was released and have not stopped using it since. It is well worth its price if you simulate a lot of airline flights. I don't know how I planned my flights without it! Well...I do but it definitely was not as easy or enjoyable.
  10. Azapata87
    Agreed, enjoyable read anyway though. It is good to know what the best add ons out there are at the moment.

    I initially did not like it at all. After seeing the official pictures out in the daylight I think it looks great. I'm a big fan of Southwest.

    I think its not so much a question of does it work but there just is not a better way to get large amounts of water and retardant in the areas that these brush fires tend to happen.

    I have always loved the idea of having the speed of an airliner and the ability to operate out of small airports. The problem for me is that I have yet to see a business jet that has the complexity and fidelity of a pmdg simulation. Does anyone have any suggestions? For now I have satisfied that craving with the pmdg 737 in a bbj repaint but even still it cannot fly into the smallest of airports.

    This used to happen to me often.. until I got married and had a child. Now I don't have enough flight sim time! Edit: I was also into Train simulators, as well as RC cars and airplanes. That would keep me occupied when I was bored of fsx.

    ASN changes the weather in fsx in a huge way. It now feels like you are flying through an active, realistic and always changing atmosphere. A real upgrade from any other weather program available before it.

    wow! makes me want to go flying!
  17. Azapata87
    Wow! The lighting and shadowing in xplane look seriously good in these shots!

    Looks impressive in both sims. As far as the clouds and sky go prepar3d looks by far the best.
  19. Azapata87
    Those are really awesome. Love number 3.

    Welcome to flight simming! There's just nothing else like the gratification you get from successfully flying from point A to point B. It just can't be explained to regular folk.

    What are your specs? PMDG and fsx absolutely shine with enough horsepower. I spent much less time tweaking and more time flying once I got a processor that could overclock past 4 ghz.
  22. Azapata87
    I jump right into my favorite airliner and wing it. I almost always make it to my destination in one piece. I tend to take long breaks from fsx for some reason but I always come back for more.
  23. Azapata87
    I'll echo Acronis and a full image back up. I have my fsx drive backed up to a nas in raid 1 configuration and the nas backed up to another external drive. After having to reinstall fsx from scratch a few times, I don't want to do it again.

    Beautiful shots! I love the Bell 407. As soon as Xplane becomes available on Steam I won't be able to resist purchasing it. This sim has come a long way and keeps improving.

    Beautiful shots. I love the wing shot.
