ALEXEI

Its Alexei Butterwick. Sorry, next time I will start a new thread

I have sent a ticket today for both the 737 and the 777 and havent received anything. Do you know if you received it? Bought EDS' for both the products

Same time next year. Id say 25th August 2014

Sorry for putting it in the wrong section. Does anyone please have any ideas on how to overclock a I5 2500K on an asus P8Z77-V motherboard?

Brilliant, thanks for all your help fellas. Im going to be a right pain now...does anyone know how to overclock my system to about 4.5 ghz? Literally have no idea. I have a really decent cooler so thats not a problem.

Hi everyone, Im in a deep panic here about my new system that i have just bought. The fan speeds seem to be very high and I wish to overclock my system pretty soon but if the fan speeds are like this, i feel it may be too risky. Any advice on what i have done wrong? Here is a pic of the BIOS

Hi there, Im very new to fs2crew however ive just purchased the NGX captain set and i think its unbelievable! So thank you very much for this product. Im having a few problems with frame rates though. Ive noticed a considerable drop in fps ever since installing fs2crew. Was previously on about 40 fps, now its 10 or so. Im running an i5 3.4ghz 2600K. Any thoughts Thanks Alexei Butterwick

Thanks for your help Dazz. Is it not worth getting 12GB or 16GB?

Paul, Im a complete rookie when it comes to constructing a computer so I need all the help I can get. As for the I7 threads, you are completely right and I apologise. Alex, What do you mean by Low profile ram??

After a reasonably long wait for the Ivy Bridge CPU's to come out, ive finally come out with this. ANy suggestions on what needs improving? Could we keep it under £900 though.

Any good?

Thanks for your help Paul. This system is ideal. I am happy to step it up to about £1300 so what should I upgrade from the listings??? I would like the system to be competitive for longer if possible.

Paul is the system you linked me perfect though?

Well I have just been told that something called the Ivy Bridge from intel is coming out in a month or so, so I think i will wait, even though I have n idea on what it is

Who am I to trust then? haha

Thanks very much Paul. So the computer that you have linked me is the one that you think wil be ideal? Is it worth me getting a SSD drive? If so I have upgraded to the GTX560Ti and then included a 120GB SSD drive. By the way, I already have a decent monitor. Its a Iyama 24" HD screen, so I dont need a monitor but thanks. Alexei

Oh well I was told that I should focus on getting a good CPU rather than a good video card. Also I am not building my own PC, im buying a pre made one from PC specialist

Any thoughts?

Following on from this, I am in the process of buying a FSX pc however have no idea on what to get. Having read this thread I came up with this.

Jon, Thats really helpful thanks. So would install FSX onto the SSD drive and then all the rest on the hardrive for better results? Sorry going off topic here.

Sorry Im a bit confused on what the video card does. I do apologise, I have no idea about hardware and so on. Could you possibly show me the things that need altering? I have a restricted budget of about £1200. Also what is the advantage of having a SD drive? Will check it out now.

Hi there everyone, Its been two years since I touch my Flight sim however I am coming towards the end of my Uni years and have decided to go full out and purchase a very decent FSX PC. I need a little help though before. I have looked at the PC specialist website and clicked on the "Flight simulator PC's" tab. I have edited it slightly and I am wondering whether this PC would be able to deal with high density scenery, complex aircrafts, weather etc at about 40 fps or above?

Im in exactly the same boat as you Ross, I am looking to become an airline pilot, however i'm a little older than you. I am 18 and currently doing a degree at university.I heard that it is recommended that you should get a degree, if you are considering going into the big airlines. Please correct me if I am wrong though. I have a friend working for Virgin Atlantic and he mentioned that CTC wings was a good place to start. You can go for the full on and go to Oxford Aviation Academy, but it is expensive.These are the two places which I will be considering.ThanksAlexei

Ok I will look into that, how much was it?Also did you buy it in one, or did you construct it yourself, if so what website did you use?

Im sorry but I cant miss out on the PMDG 777 etcAny queries about the specs?
