Hello all !I have a special request for all good painters among you (and I know you are numerous).Recently after 12 years and 800 hours of happy flying, medical problems forced me to sell the beloved aircraft that I restored with full dedication. That was surely among the most beautiful and impeccable C172 around. A rare bird indeed.Since then, instead of the real thing I fly with FSX and I appreciate its realism.A few weks ago, I discovered Carenado's C172N which shows very realistic behaviour.Now for my request. As I have no knowledge nor talent for aircraft repainting, is there someone here interested in replicate my old air companion based on Carenado's? If so I would gladly provide pictures from many angles (ext & int) with logos, color samples and so on.You can already have a look by typing C-GNEA in the search box of airliners.net. Please note that colours are not fully rendered in this picture.I have nothing to offer for this except my full gratitude to the generous person who would eventually do this good gesture.Please contact me by private messageIf you know someone who would be interested in this, please don't hesitate to forward this message.Regards.

Hello all !I want to do some repaint jobs using FS Repaint. I have no problem with the ones from Microsoft, Eaglesoft and Wilco. But for some reason, aircrafts from Carenado (C172N) and Aerosoft are not loading in FS Repaint. Do I miss something? :( Thanks for any clues.

Many thanks to Daveo for his answer.HF

Hello All,I use CH Pro Pedals and sometimes it takes a long time to stop the aircraft on the runway after landing. Is there a way to increase the breaking effect within FSX? (I have FSUIPC 4.40 installed).Cheers.HF

Hello All,I planned to upgrade my system (getting rid of my 3870X2) with a 8800 Ultra but this one is no more available in my area.According to you all experts, what would be the best performing GPU to run FSX: GTX 260, GTX 280 or 9800 GX2?Another good choice seems to be 8800 GTS as this one tops all the rest in this Tom's Hardware test:http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon...on,2007-18.html FSX to be run on a 24" monitor (1920x1200) with a Q9650 to be installed soon.Thanks!HFIntel Q6600 Quad CoreASUS Maximus ExtremeCorsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3-1333Antec P182 with PC Power & Cooling 750W QUADSeagate 500GB and Seagate 1GBSamsung 245B 24po 1920x1200Windows XP Pro SP3

Hello all,When I install driver 8.11 for my 3870X2 I have the following error message:===="The setup has detected that version 2.08.1220 of CCC is already installed."This setup installs an earlier version of CCC (2.008.1028.2133)"You will have to uninstall the previous version before installing this version.====When trying to uninstall it in the Control Panel/Add or Remove programs where ATI CCC is listed the same error message appears.As a result, driver 8.11 is correctly installed but with no CCC.I tried many things to get rid of this including Driver Cleaner Pro 1.5 and RegCure but with no success. ATI CCC is sticking in the "Currently installed programs and updates".Any advice will be much appreciated.HFIntel Q6600 Quad CoreASUS Maximus ExtremeCorsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3-1333Antec P182 with PC Power & Cooling 750W QUADSeagate 500GB and Seagate 1GBSamsung 245B 24po 1920x1200

Thank you all for your comments.I will go with a Q9560.HFOups!...Q9650 that is...

Hello all !This is my current system mainly used for FSX:Intel Q6600 Quad Core (not OC)ASUS Maximus Extreme MoboCorsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3-1333ATI Radeon HD 3870X2Antec P182 with PC Power & Cooling 750W QUADSeagate 500GB and Seagate 1GBSamsung 245B 24' 1920x1200FSX frame rate is so so...I wish to put in a faster CPU (to be OC).Question: E8600 Duo Core or Q9650 Quad? Is the Quad worth the extra money?Does FSX fully use the Quad technology?Also, I plan to replace the 3870X2 by a 8800 Ultra.Any comment will be appreciated.HF

I did a lot of research this weekend. Indeed the initial plan needed serious ajustments. Without being definitive yet and trying to reach for the best, here's what my next FS machine should look like:- Asus Maximus Extreme X38 Socket 775 motherboard (with Crossfire technology)- ATI Radeon

Hi Guys,I'm back to FS and restarting from scratch. I'm not a computer wizard. This is the proposition from my retailer:INTEL Quad Core QX6600 2.4 GHZ 8 MBIntel X975XBX2KR Intel X9754 GB DDR II 800 RAM PC2-6400 Dual ChannelNVIDIA eVGA 8800GTS 512 MBWD 750 GB AAKS 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache SATA IIDVD Pioneer 18X Dual Layer Int. GB Lan 10/100/100 SATA RAID et FirewireIntel High Definition AudioAntec Solo w/ PPC 610 Watts PSLogitech X230 2.1 PC SPK w/ Sub Woofer Logitech Scroll Mouse OpticalKeyboard HP Carbonite USBQuestions:1) With this confiuration, can I expect a solid and fluid performance for FSX?2) QX6600 is $300. Is $1000 for a QX6800 2.93 GHZ or a QX6850 3.0 GHZ is really worth the spending?3) Should I look for a more powerful graphic card? Retailer says more expensive cards (like 8800 Ultra 768 MB - $300 more) will provide only a very slight performance increase.4) I hesitate between 3 HP 19" monitors with Matrox TripleHead2Go OR a single Samsung 24". What do you think?5) Windows XP Pro OR Vista (Home OR Pemium?) ?Thank you for your comments and advices.Paul
