    This is from the initial SU12 Beta Release Notes (1.31.18.0): "Fixed live traffic planes staying stuck at hold short in some airports" Hopefully this "general" fix worked for KATL. I know I would appreciate that.

    I use Microsoft Window's built-in Snipping Tool. You can access it with Win Key+Shift+S. The tool allows you to snip whichever monitor you like, or any portion of either monitor. Works like a champ.

    Recently retired from Lockheed Martin after 35 years in the aircraft sustainment business. For much of my career I managed the Customer Training business area where we developed and delivered world class training systems (including training facilities, Level-D full flight simulators, maintenance training devices and courseware) for all of our C-130 Hercules customers, both domestic and international. Was an amazing career.

    Great words, Paul. I agree wholeheartedly!

    Just a quick comment, Steve. You ultimately want an odd number of monitors for a 180* cockpit view so that the forward pilot's view will not be disturbed by monitor bezels. With 4 monitors, and assuming they were arranged with the normal forward pilot view stretched across the middle two monitors, I don't believe you'd be pleased with the monitor bezels dividing the view. Just a thought for your consideration.

    Jordan - Just a word of caution here. Stretching the view across two monitors puts the two adjacent monitor bezels right in the center of your forward pilot view, which may not be the most pleasant experience. Stretching across three monitors gives a better visual experience since the center monitor in that case is your standard forward view with no obstructing bezels. I use two 27" monitors with my flight sim on the one (Prepar3d v3.3.5 in my case) and the second for charts, AS16, Avsim, etc. I will be going to three monitors after I retire in August.

    Not scientific, but you might consider a larger PSU in the event you want to add a second GeForce card for SLI down the road. You'd have to do the math to see what might be necessary. Just a thought off the top off my head.

    Hands down, ASN. And it works like a charm with the PMDG 737NGX and B777 weather radar displays. Truly impressive.

    I'll throw in my $0.02 as well. Upgraded a system with FSX Gold, FSX-SE, and P3Dv2x and everything worked just fine afterwards. As Doug says above, one cannot be 100% sure, so make that system back-up first. I did, and fortunately didn't need it. Have fun!

    Stefan, I assume you know about the "Logbook" that is already part of P3D which tracks Date, Aircraft Type, Registration Number, Origin, Destination, Category, Multi-Engine (y/n), Total Time, Night Time, Instrument Time, Number of Landings, and Remarks. Since the built-in P3D Logbook interface is sluggish and unwieldy, there is an excellent utility developed by our own Dan Downs here at Avsim and available for free in the Avsim Library. It is named "LogEditv2-0" and it makes using the P3D logbook much, much easier. Check it out.

    Ok, done deal. Trip booked to DFW with a stay at the airport Hyatt. Thanks for the responses.

    I didn't mention this, but I live in the Atlanta area, so will be flying out of KATL. I'll check into the KIAH suggestion, though. Thanks, Glenn.

    Thanks for the excellent suggestion, @cmpbellsjc. I'll check that out.

    I need to bump up my frequent flyer miles balance so I can have enough for two tickets later this fall. Thinking of taking a short, inexpensive round-trip flight to an airport in the SE or South Central USA where there's an onsite hotel affording excellent aircraft spotting access. I will need to take this short trip in April so the few extra miles I need can be credited to my account in time to secure frequent flyer tickets for my wife and I to the west coast in the mid-fall time frame. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have.
