If this turns out to be anywhere near as good as they are saying, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see 'shortages' and long waits to get our hands on one.

There are a some tutorial videos on Youtube showing how it works. Just type ATCpro and you will be able to pick them out (there are a few not related to the sim) John

Many thanks. That Asus Boot Setting did the trick.

Recently upgraded to a 6700K using Win 7 installed on a SSD(Asus MB). Now, apparently, my system boots so fast, I can no longer get into the BIOS. I've tried using both the F2 and Delete key doing everthing from multiple key presses to just holding the key down and the best I've been able to do is, get into the safe mode/repair mode screen. A Google search has shown a number of people reporting this issue after CPU/SSD upgrades. None of the suggestions has helped. Anyone else ever have this issue? I'm willing to upgrade to Win 10 if it would help. I even have a unused disk of Win 8 (shudder!). I'm that desperate. John

They may just start cranking the prices up to compensate.

Are you using a X55?

OK here, on the east coast including forum for Orbx

Same here. Even PayPal showed the Australian rate at first, before at the final screen, it showed the US exchange rate. All's well, that ends well, I guess. I'm happy.

Thanks Scott. That was going to be my next post, wondering if it was converted back to the US rate somewhere along the line.

Decided to take the plunge on Orbx Global and take advantage to the Holiday discount. The FlightSim Store had it listed for $54.79 US, but at checkout the price was $66.95 US. I figured some sort of bank exchange fee, but $12 on a $55 purchase? Why oh Why, didn't I become a banker.

The developer on the SimForums/Ezdok has reported that he is working on a update. Hopefully, it should be available soon. The simconnect solution didn't work for me either.

Problems here also. Only FSX SE installed. I get the following error. FSX Folder or Aircrafts Not Found. The record in registry not found.

Anyone having problems with IR5 and FSX SE (like me), I found this fix in the in the Steam support forums. Worked for me. http://steamcommunity.com/app/314160/discussions/1/626329820764631373

I'm confused as well. Does Microsoft still own the exclusive rights to the source code? If so, can we expect more people to perhaps be allowed to distribute FSX, like Burger King or something.

Well, I don't really have a choice anyway. My ancient 670 has seen it's better day's pass by and it's time to take it out behind the barn and put it out of it's misery (recycle bin). Guess I'll hop over to Newegg and flip a coin today. Thanks for the replies.

I'm getting ready to pull the plug on a new GTX 970, but it seems that no matter what manufacturer or model I pick, people are complaining about coil whine. Is it that big a problem and has anyone here, experienced it? At first I thought it must be just a few people, screaming the loudest, but the fact it seems to be spread across a wide variety of manufacturer's has me wondering.

Fantastic article. Thanks for posting the link. The words, " It seems that we are locked into a spiral in which poor human performance begets automation, which worsens human performance, which begets increasing automation." seems to say it all.

ASUS PB278Q 27" monitor user also. I have been running it as is, right out of the box. Have you done any color calibration of it?

I wonder if you buy FSX via Steam,if you will be locked into buying third party content via Flight1? Doesn't Steam have some sort of online verification gizmo to use their content. I don't use Steam, so just wondering.

In the United States, where the poster is from, I'm pretty sure that's called fraud and if caught, would pretty much kill his commercial flying career, possibly forever. After 9/11, I suspect most major carriers do a pretty good background check and would catch on to someone doing that. Sorry, but I'm going to have to call that suggestion, bad advice. Really bad advice.

I'm surprised, the news media hasn't had their "aviation experts" on TV, claiming it was probably pilot error.

I was a little suspicious of that sudden braking myself, until I realized the reverse thrust he could produce from that nose of his. I'm going to have to call this legit.

I'll admit, i don't know squat about how big buisiness operates, but as a publically owned company, don't they have to inform their stock holders when they sell 'something', belonging to the company, for what was implied as a large sum of money? I searched all kinds of online buisiness news journals and there is nothing out there.

The 'dingo' segment was a riot (but true). I think, "please don't eat my baby" is my new catch phrase. Just wish I could do an Australian accent .

That does not bode well for Boeing and Airbus down the road. How can a free market industry compete with a state run industry. Why are they doing test flights in North America and who is doing them?
