Ya seems that way, I do like having the wheel but I can live without it as the electric trim works well with their custom system.

Has anyone figured out how to get the Saitek Cessna Trim wheel to work with the NGX?

I'm flying in Canada where we do use inches not QNH. Superglide unfortunately that setting is to inches already. FSX general settings is to US system as well.

The Flightwatch / ATIS with AS2012 is giving me the altimeter setting in QNH not Inches, how do I change this?

Every once in a while I get a crash of FSX, the error message refers to g3d.dll (or something like that) and then an error box comes up saying "This feature rquires that {smartassembly} is available on this computer."I'm trying to figure out what is causing it - I haven't been able to directly reproduce it and it only happens once every 5-10 hours or something. It doesn't seem to matter what aircraft I'm using so it's not that (was using Carenado Caravan) wasn't flying online so not that.What I do use every flight is Activesky Enhanced and Ultimate Traffic 2, along with the Saitek Autopilot panel software. Anyone know what causes this?Any help is appreciated.

Figured it out - just had to go into the device manager (I'm still used to the fdisk days lol). Formatted when I added the partition.

Got my new system up and running, in device manager it shows both SSD drives, but it only assigned one to the C: drive, the other isn't visible as a drive to use. Any ideas??

Not sure what I want to do in the future so I figure a 1000w will futureproof me well.What about this one? http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139007And yes fellow Canuck :)System will be ASUS P6X58D / i7 950 (to be OC'd to 4.2ghz) / 6 gigs Muskin redline / single Geforce GTX 480 / twin SSD's

Just curious what a good 1000W PSU is (going to use a Coolermaster HAF 932 full tower case so needs long cables). Someone recommended this one - thoughts?http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341028

Is there any point to overclocking these cards at all for FSX?

3 days until payday, which means 3 days until I buy the parts for my new system Anyhow just curious which GTX 480 I should go for (prices are all Canadian)EVGA "standard" $480http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130552MSI Twin Frozr II (twin fan) $500 (looks like it was just released, no reviews on Newegg yet)http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127526EVGA Superclocked (factory overclocked) $505http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130551Zotac AMP! (factory overclocked twin fan) $535http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500166

Thanks for the replies everyone.Decided to go with twin SSD's (one OS / programs - one pure FSX). Read some articles on them and seems they are worth it - and in heavy use most still have over a decade of life in them so not too worried about that considering i upgrade every 2 years on average anyways.

Perfect thanks (again lol)

Building new system trying to decide on hard drive setup.Figure I'll do one SSD for the OS and games and a separate drive for FSX.For FSX is an SSD going to be better than a WD Velociraptor? Space isn't a big deal, my current install is 32 gigs for FSX, so I figure 128GB will be plenty for the drive.How do you tell what a good SSD is, what specs do I look for on it etc.? Any particular standout brands / drives?

Looking to build a new system and OC the CPU to 4-4.2 ghz (whatever ends up being stable, using a Noctua D14 fan).Anyhow there's only a $30 diff between a 930 and a 950 - should I go with the 950? Any difference for OCing? Figure 950 is better but want to be sure.
