A Business Systems Analyst in IT. In my younger days, I almost made ends meet doing radio sports play-by-play. Started simming on the Apple IIe with SubLogic back in Elementary School. I still have the floppies! Now I build my own home PC's customarily to accommodate Flight Sim!

Has anyone found (or is working on) updated scenery for KORD to incorporate the new runway and control tower? Presumably modified using ADE, as opposed to updated commercial scenery. I've been searching, but uncovered nothing so far. Thanks.

Where can we find the change log? Thanks.

On a budget, here's what I've pieced together on pcpartpicker.com ... http://pcpartpicker.com/user/mesaba116/saved/47L2 Any general thoughts are appreciated, and I have a specific question about overclocking and cooling -- If I want to take the i5-3570K just slightly up over 4 GHz, would air cooling be sufficient? I don't intend to go crazy and push the OC, so I don't necessarily want to buy liquid cooling that might not be needed. Anyway, comments are welcome. Thanks Kevin

10/28C opened this morning. It would be fun to use the new RWY.

So I'm reading into your answer that they are supposed to be there? I was contemplating uninstalling/reinstalling 1.9.7.2 to clean up those entries (because if I recall correctly it seems the number of entries grew with each upgraded version. But if they are supposed to be there, I'll just leave them alone.

I have about a dozen entries in my FSX profile for NVIDIA Inspector 1.9.7.2 The titles are all in Hex -- like this > 0x00000040, and the Settings Values are a mixture of hex, numeric, and words. Are these supposed to be there, and if not, how do I get rid of them? Thanks.

I wouldn't mind doing it. I used to work in radio, but somehow ended up in IT. I've done voice-over work.

I validated I can also see the Topics again on a 2nd box, so looks like there was a change either via MS updates or server side.

Perhaps there is a magician at work! Today, on IE8, I can once again see the forum topic titles!! Whether IE8 is supported or not, something changed. I'll check on another PC to see to see if I have the same behavior.

How good is default ATC at giving you the correct sort of approach? I took a 738 into Thunder Bay last week, and got cleared for a visual approach, even though conditions were overcast at 2000. He also cleared me for a 5300 foot runway. (I needed 5301, as it turned out). It was a 3rd party AFCAD -- not sure if that would play into the instructions I got or not.

Insert clip from Monty Python, "And now for something completely different" here. Eeks - forgot to delete system specs -- sorry - will do it now!

Affirmative! I always seek out AFCADS created by Ray. I'm very appreciative of his work.

GPU utilization (from Inspector) had max of 84%, but hovered between 44-47% on flight from PHL to EWR, with up to 192 AI a/c in the sky. Aircraft shadows are still turned on, as well.

AA - Setting is 8xS AA Transparency Supersampling 2x sparse grid Supersampling Anisotropic filtering setting 16x (I tried to attach a screenshot, but couldn't figure out how.) I'll monitor GPU utilization and report back. Thanks.
