Hi thereJust a thought is it possible to have an effect in FS9 that mimics the possibility of Altitude effects in disoreintation and visual Your probably laughing now but what I want to know is like if you go over 10000 feet in a light aircraft and no oxygen and pressurization you could become dioreintated or something like that . Is it possible to say have a gauge switch or something that sets up failures blackouts etc like the g force effects, except simulating high altitude lack of oxygen. Maybe it could set up some visual distortion or something intill you hit the oxygen switch or cabin pressure switch or descend quickly to 5000ft. I'm hopeing someone is getting what I'm on about here as words and understanding of this is somewhat lacking.Thanks for listning, any feedback welcomeI personaly don't have the programing skills for this sort of stuff but maybe this might have some of you interested Cheers GregNew Zealand

Hi there designersI would like to understand and try making lights like the ones used in Ultimate TerrainDoes anyone here have any guidelines or links to tools and tutorials that could achieve a simular effectCan this be done in Gmax using attach tool for effects on a large scale?any help would be valuableHere is the screen shot I got inspired byThanks Greghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/118359.jpg

Thanks guys for taking the time to think about this and replyI am begining to sway toward system 2 but am ify about the sli solutionI am wondering if that main board would take the 1 X700PRO 256MB DDR3 PCI-E instead and from what Ive heard that X700 has heatpipe cooling on it ,less fan noise is important to me , I got no idea about the noise from two 6600GTsOf to do some investigatingAgain many thanksCheers GregWhangarei New Zealand
