Thanks, I'm using 16 gigs of ram (G-skill Ripjaws,) Your system should run XP very well! Rob

It looks great! Will this be a plugin that could add reflections to any plane? or is it something that has to built into a plane from scratch? Rob

I have a 3770k CPU and a 960GTX (4gb) Video card. My CPU is overclocked to 4.7 (with water cooling) and I also overclocked the bus, video card and memory. My computer is close to 3 1/2 years old now, except for video card, which is about a little over a year now I think. Anyhow, I live in NYC and I spend a lot of time flying there in X-plane. NYC is by far the most demanding place to fly in either X-plane, P3D or FSX, because of the close proximity of all 3 major airports and a hugh city in between. If you can get good FPS here, your good pretty much anywhere else you go in the sim! It a great place to benchmark performance and settings. This CPU, seems to run XP so well, I just don't see any reason to upgrade right now and I'm an upgrade junkie! I'm dying to build a new computer just because I enjoy buying the parts and building a new computer, but this one is running so well, I just can't part with it. at some point it may die from the overclock, but that's ok, I had a few great years of use out of it and that will give me a good reason to build a new one. so far its not overheating and has never crashed on me in the last 3 years running at this speed. I took a few screen shots of NYC today using the new Lagardia 2020 scenery. I used Fraps to display FPS, but for some reason, the FPS did not show up. I don't feel like taking new ones now, but I was getting between 34 and 46 FPS in these shots. At one point it dropped to 32 for a few seconds. NOt sure how I feel about this proposed Laguardia airport. Looks good on paper, but I need to see it in person when its done. The old one is in bad need of a renovation! Its a dump! I'm running 10.5, DD Manahattan, World Traffic, Maxxfx, DD design NY Airports, RTH and a few small scenery addons for NYC. Rob The Port Autority Proposed KLGA

Great shots, Ill have to check out those sky colors, they look great! Rob

Yes, I am having the same issue. Except in the TBM, which seems to work fine. Rob

I noticed that Carenado just updated all their G1000 aircraft (5 in all) to v 3.2. not sure if its been updated on all vendors yet. Its supposed to fix some performance issues as well as other bugs, but I haven't been able to update mine yet, I'm stuck at work. Just thought Id pass this along. I'm looking forward to checking out the updated TBM & Cirrus. Rob (These are old pics before updates)

Great shots! Rob

I've been having a lot of fun in this plane (IGEX 737) and have been flying it all over the US. Next week, Europe. The last 2 were around Area 51, the Sedan crater created in a nuclear test 1962 at the nevada test range, just outside of area 51. Rob

Great Shots! Very crisp! Rob

Nice shot! Great looking clouds and plane! Rob

Looks Great! Rob

Awesome info! Thanks Matthias! Rob

I am in the process of learning how to program an FMC. I am a GA flyer, mostly, but the IGEX 737, has me hooked. Ive made some good progress and I can now enter a plan, fly it and it all works just fine. However, I have a question... Ive been using the online flight planner to create a plan. http://onlineflightplanner.org/ I use this site a lot with GA planes and just copied the downloaded flight plan into the X-plane /Data folder and load it up into the default GPS. Is there a way to do this with the IGEX FMC? So far, Ive been using this site to generate a PDF of the plan, printing it and manually adding in all the way points by hand, which takes some time to do. I was wondering if there is an easier way to do it, even if its not the way its done in real life, I'm OK with that. I generate a plan for FS2004 to use with Radar contact and then the PDF to manually enter the way points. Im thinking there might be an easier way. Rob

Awesome Shot! Great job Rob

Here are my RTH settings. I tweak them often, but these are the settings I currently have and what I used in these shots. Rob

Thanks, Yes, its 10.50 beta 6. Rob

Thanks for all the comments! Rob

I don't own all the planes you mentioned in P3d and X-plane. I would strongly suggest the LES Saab 340. Its of similar quality to the IGEX 737(which is awesome), and a must have aircraft. Maybe a little small for your taste, but a great plane. I don't have the Jardesign Airbus, im not much of an airbus fan, but I heard a lot of good things about it. Rob

A quick flight from Boston to Laguardia in the IGEX 737-300. I don't think Southwest flies this route, but they do fly out of both airports, so I figured there must be a time when the need to ferry a plane from one airport to another. This is the first time I attempted to do a complete flight using the FMC, Radar Contact and World Traffic all together, and it all worked out great. I was expecting problems will add-on compatibility issues etc.., but it was a very smooth, expect at the end when a Dash 8 took off behind me, before I had a chance to turn off the runway! Stupid Ai ! A very enjoyable flight. Everything worked and frame rates were fantastic. (these are in X-plane10, with DD NYC scenery, Skymax 3, some G2XPL generated scenery, Mister6x freeware KBOS, Maxx FX and World Traffic. I may have missed something) Rob

beautiful shots! Rob

Wow! just WoW! Really fantastic work! Rob

Very Nice! Reminds me of the ferry that ran between the north Frisian Islands, where my grandmother lived when I was a kid. Rob

Cool shots, Love that livery! Rob

Nice shots! Looks like a beautiful place to fly. Rob

Shots of the Carenado Navajo around NYC area and Landing at LaGuardia. Plus a few older bonus shots, but forgot where I took them. I had a tough time keeping the camera straight while trying to take these shots. It kept turning to the left and was driving me crazy! Turned out to be a lone rice krispy wedged between the arrow keys on my keyboard! Serves my right for eating breakfast in front of the computer. (These are in X-plane 10 beta 6 with Drzewiecki Design Manhattan Scenery and some G2XPl generated satellite scenery and a few other misc addons.) Rob
