Ron, very sorry for your loss.

I'm with Phantom, any new Accusim release ;-)

Ok, maybe "bush" and "fast" was the wrong way to ask :-)How about fairly fast (150-200 knots or more) with good short field capability. A plane where I can get in and out of the majority of strips/airports in the ORBX scenery?It doesn't have to be a "pure" bush plane.Thanks for all of the great suggestions guys.

Hi all,I've just started to get into the great ORBX scenery and the smaller fields. I wanted to know if anyone could recommend a plane with good short field capability which is also fast?Does such a versatile plane exist?I love my A2A Cub, but it's just too slow.Thanks.

Hi All,My 3 year old EVGA 8800GT 512 meg card just died and I need to replace it. I gave me great performance in FS9/Lomac/FSX (given my cpu;0)What would you recommend to replace it that's comparable? I don't need to go overboard as I'm not upgrading the rest of my system.E8400 core 2 duo 3gig4 gigs ramwin 7 ultimate 64 bit500 watt altec power supply.Thanks.

In fairness to Michael of FS-GS, he posted on these boards a while back, see here, the reply was from user MG, almost all the way down the thread. Granted, it's from 2005 at applied to FS9 at the time, but I'm sure he applies some of the same principles.http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...33386&mode=full

That was awesome! Thanks for the laugh.

Sorry, I left out a very important point-You can add the code anywhere in the cfg file, BUT they must be prefaced by the Views heading. See below:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/165499.jpg

add these lines to the panel.cfg of the aircraft you wish change.[Views]VIEW_FORWARD_WINDOWS=MAIN_PANELVIEW_FORWARD_DIR=2.500, 0.000, 0.000The first number in the VIEW_FORWARD_DIR parameter is the "height of the seat". Higher numbers mean higher height.The panel.cfg is located in the panel directory of the plane you wish to modify. I modified the lear, so the file was inSimObjectsAirplanesLear45panelThis worked for me so thought I would pass it along. Although I love the virtual cockpits for the "GA" flavored planes like the Maule or Cessna, I still like flying the Lear and most jets from the 2d pit. The great thing about this change is the perspective is retained when you switch views. Unlike the Ctrl-Q method where the first time you change the view, you lose the perspective.Hope this helps.

I have a "ghetto", ancient P2.4, but I'm having a blast with FSX. Albeit this is with air traffic turned off, but about 10-20% on cars, ferries and boats. Autogen off, but ground textures turned up. My local area (SE connecticut) is stunning! They even got a very small detail right that I appreciated very much ... theres a golf course right off the end of rwy 6 at KBDR (sikorsky) that is in the scenery (it's a par3, no less). It's amazing to me how much they included "out of the box" with this sim.Details like that, along with the moving traffic on I-95, make it so immersive for me. Granted, my enjoyment of FSX will be for VFR only IMC flights, but it's a beautiful sim. I might even get TrackIR in the mean time to enjoy my VFR flights. Plus it will be a blast to use in my newly purchased Realair Marchetti FSX version ;-).Having said this, of course your opinions may vary, depending on whether you fly heavies mostly or not. I like heavies too, so like others, for now if I need that, it's FS9. But the good qualities of FSX cannot be denied.

Hi guys,I'm considering building a new pc now with thoughts of upgrading to Vista in the future. Both XP Pro and XP Media Center edition come with Vista "upgrade coupons". XP Pro allows upgrade to Vista Business edition and Xp Media Center allows upgrade to Vista Home Premium.Prices: XP Pro - $139 XP Media Center edition $109I'm not familiar with Media Center edition at all. Does anyone know if I can disable any "Media specific" features? The fear is I don't want any Media Center specific system hogging services or applications stealing CPU cycles.Which OS would you guys get?Thanks.

Like Allcott saidctrl+qctrl+shf+qalso.. it appears you have to hold the keys down

Hi guys,Thanks very much for everyone's feedback. I think I might give it a try! Unfortunately I have to invest in another harddrive for now, not much though, about $60 for an OEM 160 gig (Newegg rocks!).I figure I'll buy FSX when I do my new system build after the DX10 update and Vista is settled down. Until then, I can learn about sim.Thanks again.Happy flying..

>If you wanted a good chuckle, you could go to New York city>full sliders right. :)Oh come on, I think I could get 20-25 fps. oh - I meant .20-.25 fps :-)

Hi guys,I've read all of the posts on how hard FSX is on everyone's systems. That being said, I'm interested in getting my feet wet with the sim despite my system, no high expectations. I was able to get the demo running acceptable with autogen off, traffic off.My question is, will the full version of the sim allow me to run with similar performance to the demo if I stick to the "island" sceneries like those that are in the demo?Thanks.
