  1. Jacobs Field is a baseball stadium. The stadium by the lake was torn down and they built a new football stadium(First called Cleveland Browns Stadium, now its First Energy Stadium) on the same location, as for the Amtrak station, it is located pretty much right across the highway from First Energy Stadium, There are no provisions for having an Amtrak station in tower city, the entire public part of the building shuts down at the end of the last evening movie at the theater in Tower City and Amtraks daily arrivals are around 3AM-5AM each night. RTA does have a First Energy Stadium stop along the Waterfront line, This is also the same line that you can use to get from Tower City to East 9th to walk to Burke Lakefront to get to the air show.
  2. I think I have fixed it. had Shadowplay capture desktop enabled, disabled it and the click lag went away as well as the menu stuff freezing. Strange thing is, I have use that option in the past with no problems.
  3. I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to get FSX to run great on my machine, This has involved many reformats due to files and registry stuff(REX) messing up reinstalls. so I have had to reformat and re-download FSX many many times since there is no good way to back up the game(tried steam backup and backing up the base game folders to external hard drive) I think I am up to 8 times I have done this in the last 2 weeks. The last 2 tries have started to irritate me as any time I click anywhere on the screen in game, I get lag for a few seconds before the game resumes, and then there is the huge lag when trying to access display settings from the drop down menu in game to the point where it just freezes on me. Right now, I have downloaded and reinstalled the game after my last reformat from 3 days ago and tried the game and it still happens. Any ideas on how to fix this? Right now I have not tried any tweaks or installed any addons. My system info in my profile is current as well.
  4. I wish to use a second computer for flight tracking while flying in FSX, I wish to know of a program free or commercial, that will let me map out my flights as I fly and save the map and hopefully altitude info for viewing later. this computer will be hooked up wireless to my home network. I also wish to have a Garmin type GPS for my nexus 7 tablet, preferably one that looks like FSX's GPS 500 and G1000 and is functional like ingame, So I am wondering if there is something like that out for android tablets. Is it also possible to host game files on a second computer to streamline ingame graphics on the fsx computer?
  5. The case I plan to purchase has the hole in the motherboard tray or whatever it is called to change backplates while the motherboard is installed. http://www.hardocp.com/article/2012/06/18/thermaltake_chaser_mki_computer_case_review/1 As for cooling, I plan to purchase a Corsair CPU watercooler such as the H80 or H100 at a later time
  6. I am not fixed on trying to overclock anything at this time, so a cooler will be a purchase sometime down the road. As for addons, I do not have many of them.
  7. I am in the planning stages from my next computer and am looking at the 3770k. I put together my current computer on a low budget(current specs can be found in my sig below) And now i have a chance to start over from nearly scratch. I will be buying a new motherboard and memory(16gb), But I will keep my recently purchased MSI GTX 560Ti-hawk til I can save up for a current gen pci express x16 3.0 video card(possibly a GTX 670) I am not too concerned about overclocking the cpu from the beginning, But would like to try it later on if i can get a better cpu cooler. Will I see better performance fps-wise in FSX? I wish to see a constant 30-35 fps in FSX but the best i can do with my current setup is 15-20 fps in dense scenery areas. I also plan to use this computer to try my hand at rendering stuff that use Pov-Ray or similar programs. My budget is $1100USD for this and these are the items i have on my list of things to build my next computer: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=24019547 If anyone could post a better recommendation for the items on my list, I would be interested in hearing those ideas.
  8. Earlier today I was in multiplayer, I do not remember what I was doing at the time.But just now, I had a serious crash(in multiplayer for about an hour), I was about to fly under a bridge near Hilo to get to an aerocache, I hit the bridge, started the crash cinematic and then shortly after, my computer shut off in a way that pushing the power button to turn it back on didnt work. But i did try unplugging the psu, letting whatever electric charge inside die out, and then plugging it back in helped.Has this happened to anyone else?
  9. the game code will be emailed to you, then you have to log onto the xbox site and look for the redeem code option
  10. Pretty sure this is not a hardware problem, hopefully MS sees it and fixes it
  11. if you can buy from amazon, i recommend it, go with the download code version, i do not trust giving MS my credit card info just to buy points at this time since all the hackings and attacks against MS and the xbox 360 that happened last year
  12. While we are limited to Hawaii, I would like to see a Boeing 717 for Hawaiian Airlines.
  13. Quick flight that started out without a plan or knowing where I was gonna go. My first flight in this aircraft as well.
  14. another thought occurs to me if and when MS gives us an airliner, it could cost $30+ for it with limited features
  15. If DLC dictates what MS will sell in the future, then i can see them going the P-51 route with less features, I feel that the average gamer does not even know what a Maule is and go for the more well known P-51 Mustang. heck, before FSX came along, i didnt know what Maule was.
  16. There could be little chance of seeing airliners released this year for Flight, but this also raises another question, could this mean the end of flying aircraft for our favorite airlines? Could the DLC system be clamped down as to not let us repaint aircraft into our favorite liveries?Even if they do give us airliners, we might only see ones currently in production, so this could mean no classic airliners
  17. an easy solution to this question would be to add aerial combat to the game
  18. i think i have found what i am looking for with MSI Afterburner
  19. I have 2 monitors, would it be possible to only record footage on one monitor while having panels on the second monitor.I have tried running fsx in windowed mode and undocking panels and moving them to the second monitor, but that crashed fraps and fsx
  20. the first Flight video posted by Microsoft starts off with "When I was a child"
  21. I have always loved being high up in the air in a plane, my fear of heights is when i am on a high bridge over water(makes going to Niagara Falls Canada a bit difficult)
  22. They had better produce dvd's like fsx, Some of us cannot download our games due to internet service providers jumping to limiting bandwidth...
  23. Kittyhawk 737-700 in FSX. love this plane so far
