  1. Thanks Greg, that was helpful in my decision. John
  2. I just purchased a new computer for FSX. I have a 256GB SSD and 1TB 7200RPM for storage. All the posts I have read I am confused on wether to put FSX on the SSD (which has the OS) or the HDD. What should I do? Thanks for any help. John
  3. Tom, It is about $2400. Regarding the HDD and the SSD, this is where I am confused. Should I use the HDD for data storage and SSD then for FSX and OS? Thanks John
  4. Thanks Tom for your input, The three options I have for the CPU are the 4820K, 4930K, or the 4960x. I chose the bottom of the three. My first hard drive will be an HDD and the second is a SDD for FSx. Thanks again John
  5. I know this has been asked over and over, but with reading the forums this is what I came up with for a new PC. Will frame rates be adequate to run PMDG etc? I am confused about hard drives though.

  6. I would think we should be able to adjust seat configurations based on different airlines. John
  7. Does anyone know how to adjust the PAX/class configurations and adjust the weight per PAX and Baggage weight? Thanks John
  8. Does anyone know how to adjust the number of PAX and PAX weight? John
  9. Just wondering how i can skip the boarding process. John M.
  10. How would i skip the boarding of passenger segment if i am doing just a fuel stop? John M.
  11. I am hoping someone can give me a little advice. How can i get the FO voice to go through my speakers with airplane noise and my headset with voice only? Right now i just get the voice through my headset. Thanks John M.
  12. Today I purchased FS2Crew for PMDG 737 NGX and spent two hours trying to get it to install. The installer gets to 1% and stalls out. The file it appears trying to intall is fs2crewdata.ini. I tried it twice but no luck. The installing locates my FSX folder just fine. I am running Windows 7 64bit. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks John M.
  13. This just happened were I live in Omaha, NE..... "The thunderstorm swept across the airport during the 5 o'clock hour as a number of aircraft were preparing to take off. A passenger on a Southwest flight from Omaha to Chicago told KETV NewsWatch 7 that as the storm came up, it shook the plane as it sat at the gate. Passengers were told to evacuate the plane and return to the terminal. Authorities said an injured pilot was removed from the cockpit of a Southwest plane. Officials would not confirm if the injuries were storm-related, and it was not immediately clear if it was the same plane from which the passengers were evacuated."Read more: http://www.ketv.com/news/28909690/detail.html#ixzz1VQnsK6zL
  14. I will try these. When I reinstall the scenery files, do just copy from cd or do I just do a repair?John
  15. Sorry. I don't get any error messages and it happened 15 min into flight. It just disappears like it was never running. I have a Dell xps 17 i2 nvidia 550. Frame rates is incredible at 100 on both fs9 and fsx. Just kind of odd it happened. John
