    KSJC is in Northern California?

    Yes, Its located in the southern end of the "Bay Area". The LA region including San Diego is considered Southern CA. 

    I have the ORBX airport and also agree its not the best optimized, but generally if I land in one of the 3 major airports in the bay area I land at SFO.

    I'd like to followup on this comment. ^^^

    I'm an old VFR SoCal pilot IRL. I mainly fly bush planes low level in P3D 4.5. Photoscenery would be helpful and enjoyable but I seem to remember some complaints when TE SoCal was released. On my aging machine I have been running SoCal and NorCal regions quite successfully. I'd love to add TE SoCal but I don't want to waste $23 USD or bog down my machine.

    Any feedback from actual owners of TE SoCal would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm running:

    Intel I7-6700 Skylake at 4.0 ghz

    16gb DDR4

    GeForce GTX 970

     

    If you buy California, then you will go back and buy Oregon and Washington too. There are a TON of flights you can do with the entire west coast. You can even perform a concorde flight from Vancouver BC to Los Angeles. Even considering having to travel 100m off shore before going MACH 2 is still faster then a 737 going direct.

    It is totally worth it. I have almost all of the airports in the PNW region and its a blast going from place to place. If you can get a bigger SSD I would actually recommend True Earth OR,WA and CA. I have most scenery maxed and get amazing frame rates. Highly recommend. And as others have stated there is a sale going on.

    I also use the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 system. There cheap and work very well. Recently I decided to further improve the sound, I bought a pair of Definitive Technology Pro Monitor 800's. (non-powered) and replaced the Klipsch satellite speakers, still using the subwoofer and volume controls. Now everything sounds amazing. You can unbolt the volume knob from the bottom of the Klipsch speaker and mount it to the bottom of your monitor too.

    I cant answer your question about the triplehead, but when I ran a 3 monitor setup I saw about a 30% fps drop if I remember correctly. If you are running 3 4k monitors vram could be a concern, but I see you are running a 3090 so you should be fine. I do not believe the triple head would benefit you in anyway honestly. Those were mostly around before modern video cards had 3 monitor output.

    AMD 7800X3D or INTEL 14900k Thinking about an upgrade... Look below in sig for current PC specs.

    So I'm thinking of going with a 14900k but I'm a little concerned about the current draw. Most reviews show MAX wattage draw but that's not normal gaming wattage. I don't know so just estimating here, but if MSFS/14900k uses 150watts under default BIOS settings, what would it run with HT and E-cores all disabled? I'm assuming both do little in MSFS other then create heat. This would be great if someone has this processor currently and wanted to test this theory.

    After I downloaded P3D v6, C:\drive  turned RED. 

    Installation drive was F:\ drive and 114GB loaded.

    My question , why C;\ drive filled up?  I have available free space 686GB in  F:\ drive

    How can I transfer some  file from C:\ to F:\ drive .

     

    Run a disk clean and a disk check while your at it. Then purchase and install a second hard drive. Watch some video's on how to clone your drive. Then remove for a spare or simply rename the old drive to a different drive letter. Problem solved. Come back and ask additional questions if you need to. Good luck.

    swapped the ASUS ROG Strix LC II 120 120mm AiO Liquid CPU Cooler for a Fractal Design Celsius+ S24 Prisma 240mm All-in-One

    Wow, I missed that you only selected a 120mm. Trust me, them not having one was a good thing. The 240mm will provide better cooling. I built one for a customer that only had room for a 120mm as they had a small case and the whole cooler got warm. Glad to hear they are back on track with the build.

    That was my original plan but was told that one connection would be on the slower gen 4 socket. Reviews tell you gen 4 is a lot slower than gen 5 but in reality is it noticeable?

    The alternative would be to have two M.2 drives both connected to the gen 5 sockets but that would mean I couldn’t connect a future gen 5 GPU. It would take something special to make the 4090 worth replacing.

    One thing is for sure. It will take some effort to get close to filling 4Tb.

    For backups I have a Synology NAS box. Well worth considering.

    Having the additional drive on the gen4 socket will still be plenty fast. Go for it.

    All this talk of upgrades is making me think hmmm....14900k or AMD3D. lol...

    Hi Ray, Glad you got the computer ordered. As far as the drives go, its up to you, but personally I would add another 1TB HD for the OS. You can leave the 4TB alone or split it in half if you decide to try P3d v6 or MSFS later on. Its an easy change in disk management. I did this for awhile too. But now I have 5 separate HDs. One for the OS, P3d, MSFS, all other games, and a backup drive.

     Release such a good product and then abandon it like this....

    I would love to see QualityWings update the aircraft along with HD textures. I would be happy to pay for these upgrades if they chose to do them.
