I am an Air Force Chaplain (Active Duty) and during my career have been fortunate to ride in a variety of airframes. B52, C130, F16B, KC 135, Lear, Hueys and a few other interesting AC

Thanks Matt! Good advice

Good day, I know Boeing and most other airliners use a yoke. But due to constraints where I flight sim, the joystick works best. Does anyone have suggestions how they set up their Rhino or similar yoke for airliner commands? Many thanks. Gary

Magapixle May I ask where you purchased your system? You can IM me if you wish. Gary

Good day. Does anyone have a profile for the X-55 Rhino they are using for the 737 NGX and would be willing to share? Or does anyone know of a source to research? I've seen some good maps on the DCS website and others which show how the controllers were configured. Thanks in advance Gay

Thanks for the suggestions

Good morning. I'm finally finding the time to devote more time to the hobby and am asking for recommendations to upgrade my current system. While it isn't the fastest it does have an i7 processor. Probably a new video card is in order. Suggestions? Thanks Gary Intel® Core i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz 7.4 Memory (RAM) 10.0 GB Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series Gaming graphics 4859 MB Total available graphics memory Primary hard disk 676GB Free (921GB Total)

Good day, I saw on PC Aviator this new product they are carrying. I'm not a computer guru but it seems it uses a SSD/thumb drive to increase performance. Not being an expert I have no way of knowing if this has been tried before or if it's as they say, "the holy grail." Any thoughts? Gary

Thanks for the suggestion!

I have the PMDG NGX but unfortunately my system struggles at times to keep up with the requirements. Are there any recommendations to a NGX that is frame rate friendly? I know it will pale in comparison but I'm willing to trade a little procedures for frame rates. Thanks Gary

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check them out!

Good morning, I had flown with Frontier for a number of years before military requirements made me take a hiatus. Now I'm ready to start again but don't wish it fly online and would like to file PIREPS "manually" the "old" way. Would prefer some airline based in the Americas. Thanks Gary

Good day After an extended hiatus due to military service I found my runways were "shimmering" and the default taxi guide no longer operated. I also noticed the shadows from the AC appeared off and on. I disabled the directed X and it helped some. I did install a 3rd party airport add on, but would it affect everything else? Thanks Gary

Has anyone set up a profile for the X55 Rhino for commercial airliners, or has seen somewhere suggestions about setting it up? For example I saw a post about using one of the toggle switches for reverse thrust as there are no indents for the throttles as the pro flight quadrant. Thanks Gary

Simply amazing. This is what I think FS could be given the right program which could utilize today's technology (not FSX) for a total "immersion" experience. Maybe some day a developer will publish a "next generation" flight sim which would run with decent frame rates etc. The trees and grass look amazing. Wonder what the frame rates hit will be? Thanks for sharing.

Good day I've been wondering about installing a second hard drive dedicated to FSX. I have a dell XPS 4352 with an i7, 2.67 GHZ with 10 GB Ram running windows 7/64. Would it be as painful as re-installing on a new computer, or can you "mirror" the FSX section onto the new drive? Thanks Gary

Good day I see one post wondering if anyone has purchased the new X55, I'm also wondering if anyone has seen any "official" reviews on it anywhere. I love my old X 45 and its time to update. Thanks Gary

I still dust off FLIGHT when I come home in the evenings and just need a relaxing scenic flight. In fact it seems I've been doing more of that lately. Gary

Hi, I believe this is probably a type of phising scam aimed at people who had a synthetic surgical mesh implant. It's the same sort of thing as those class-action lawsuits against drug companies. A mailing list probably got hacked. I still wouldn't open it-just delete it. I get these too from time to time. Gary

The numbers of users aren't as important to developers as the bottom line. Sales.

Afternoon, I'm not sure if this is the proper post, but I can't "scroll down" when wanting to read a particular post, I use google chrome/google. Any ideas thanks Gary

Folks as a beta tester, this link will make clear all your questions...http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/technologybrierdudleysblog/2017460350_qa_microsoft_flight_boss_on.html?cmpid=2628

Hi, have the same problem but some of my files have a "lock" icon on them. How do you remove? Thanks

Turbine...thanks. I'm running a ATI Radeo HD 5800 card and my system is a 2.67 GH i7. I'm not sure how or what to do with the card settings. As I said this wasn't an issue until I installed the PMDG. The strange thing as I noted is on the FSX selection menus, everything looks "normal" in terms of aspect etc. Gary
