Oculus rift.
Hoping I'm in the batch of DK2's this week (ordered May 14th in UK) but can't wait to try it out. My F5 key is burnt out already! Have also invested in some sick bags just in case! :blink:

Rotate MD-80 in Development
I'm not touching that throttle its filthy!!! Seriously though this looks incredible even at this 'work in progress' stage. The more add-ons of this calibre the better for XPX.

Aerobask Lancair Legacy
That looks very detailed. Loving that Dynon D100 EFIS display.

DCS: FW-190D-9
Cant wait to try this in my Oculus Rift. Now I just need my rift and the Dora to be delivered!!!!

OSM never looked better (lot's of big images - you have been warned)
INSANE level of detail on these screenshots. Just incredible!

EADT x737 3D Cockpit Preview
Very impressive for donationware. Looks like an outstanding VC.

FlyJSIM's new release will be the B732
Sounds good to me. I guess this new 732 add-on could share some code/graphics from his 727 product, which is certainly not a bad thing. Looking forward to it.

FlyJSIM's new release will be the B732
So now we have a 737-300 from IXEG on its way and now this 200 variant from FlyJSim in XP10. Nothing like a bit of healthy competition. Wonder what the systems depth will be like on this 732. The external model certainly looks good. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8fg6cGEV-gk

Surprisingly Good Performance On A Laptop
I do all of my X-plane simming these days on a MSI GT70-20D Gaming laptop. I have always built desktop PC's in the past (specifically for flight simming) so was very hesitant buying an off-the-shelf PC, which I haven't done for many,many years. But after the wife and I had our little boy, gone were the days that I could shut myself in my man-cave and flight sim for a couple of hours while the wife was away with friends, I had to be mobile somehow (so I was free to change nappies at a moments notice :lol: ) So here I am with a laptop (not sure why they call it that with the size of them these days) and I've been very pleasantly surprised by the performance of X-plane 10 on it, or any other game for that matter, or any programme to be fair. I'm not saying it could fully replace a desktop PC, given the cost per performance ratio, you could build a PC for the fraction of the price to be honest, but I'm very surprised how well it holds up for flight simming. DCS World works great too. Unfortunately though, cpu-bound FSX doesn't perform so great, which is real shame with all my add-ons etc. Kind of new that was going to be the case though. Rhydian

Saitek Hardware Question - Parts
Thanks for the advice Andy. Didnt think about the lack of lubricant. I have some VCR head cleaner lying around, it doesn't work on my DVD player would something like that be more useful? Cheers Rhydian

Saitek Hardware Question - Parts
I pulled mine apart and cleaned them with Isopropyl alcohol. Worked great for about 2 months but then after that they were absolutely terrible again, spiking all over the place. I am surprised Saitek use such cheap 'trim' pots to be honest.

I've got X-Plane X Global but no scenery up north..
Hmm.. that is unusual. Maybe the install of the HD global scenery could be causing the issue? Rhydian

Hi Torfi, are you sure you selected these regions on the X-Plane install? You can select and deselect regions when first installing XPX to minimize the amount of disk space. I only have parts of Europe with my installation. That could be why you are seeing only water and runways and no terrain in that part of the world. Rhydian
