I am an old flight simmer who has not been active and is returning to the hobby after an absence of about 6 years. I keep hearing about FSX Steam but cannot seem to get my head around it. Is it a new edition of FSX or an add-on? Could someone take the time to explain it to me ... it would be appreciated. Regards Dave

"The only problem with MACs is they don't support the latest and greatest graphics card." Not true ... you can get an iMac with a AMD Radeon R9 M295X with 4GB GDDR5 ...seems pretty recent to me. Dave -

In early August 2011, I downloaded the 737NGX and was excited about using this plane. Unfortunately before I could get it installed I had things come up that would prove both difficult and long term to deal with. I am just getting around to trying this plane after being away for 10 months. Today after installing the NGX in FSX I went the PMDG site expecting updates and downloaded SP1c. I soon found out that this for the 600-700 variants which I do not need at this time ... I just want to get the base system working before adding on. I am sure that there have been updates to the base 800-900 system, I just do not know how to access them ... could someone point the way? Thanks. Regards Dave Allan

I am returning to flight simulation after several years absence. I am planning on having a heavyweight system built to properly run FSX. My system would be more or less along the lines shown below: Core I7 overclocked to 4+ GHz 8 GB high end RAM Velociraptor drives NVidia GTX 580 with 1.5 GB or similar I am trying now to decide on monitors. My preferred setup is use one graphics dvi port for a 27 inch monitor as the main FSX screen and other dvi port to drive a 21 inch or so screen where I run Electronic Flight Bag. My question has to do with resolution. I would love to run the main screen at 2560x1440 but almost all of the 27" monitors I see are 1920x1080 (to be TV compatible I guess). I am aware of the Dell Ultrasharp 27" at about $950 and an NEC at somewhere above $1,300.I have three questions: Does anyone on this board have experience with the Dell or NEC monitors mentioned above? Is the system I outlined above sufficient to drive a 27" high resolution at decent frame rates (assuming texture sliders pretty far to the right)? Can anyone share experience with their 27" monitor? Thanks in advance for any help -- I need it.Dave
