i know it sounds terrible, but they got what they deserved. it hurts you, yeah, hurts here too, but this is what happens when you try to make a flight SIM available to the general public, and merge it more into a video game, as opposed to a flight sim.

does your MOBO have pci 3.0? if you only have 2.0, you'll still beable to run that card, but it won't be at those speeds, it'd be at like 66% of those speeds, unless somethings changed from pcie2 to 3 4.5ghz and a 580.... you have other issues if flight is not running smooth. i run a 570 , 3.0ghz i7 920oc'd, 12gb ddr3 trip channel, and have never had a problem with stuttering what so ever. a 670 wouldn't be a huge upgrade from a 580, and only a small upgrade from a 570. assuming you tune out your machine, you should get a 7X series next year. also, do you guys even run benchmark tests? like future mark/3dmark11? i dont have 3dmark12 because i haven't upgraded anything for over a year now. but they can give you clues as to the weakest point of your system. and they' make the absolute best systems on the market look like trash sometimes, and tell you why. also compares your results with other people and the same systems. or similar.

you'd probably notice a pretty nice increase going from a 560TI to a 570...they're quite a bit faster now, and some of the evga stuff is getting nice and cheap. $250 (american), which i think is around $150 cheaper than the 670. i use a gtx570 sc from evga, i paid 370 for it a little over a year ago....anyways, for 250, you'll get one faster than mine. and you'll play flight maxxxed and never see a fr drop. also, the 560ti is pretty popular, i'm not sure which model you have exactly, but i'm sure you could sell that for some fair coin.

nice write up... in the 152 i fly, i lean til it starts to misfire, then screw the nob in til it smooths out, then an extra turn for good measure.... in the skyhawk i fly, it has an egt guage temp, pull out til it starts to spike, then put it back in.... edit: one thing i've never understood...in all the POH, and other stuff you read, and the way you're taught, AND on every checklist, they refer to fully rich as "full power" or "mixture set to best power"....the reason that don't make sense is, because of a long time of working on engines, building race engines, and drag racing cars(legally)...anyone can tell you, the leaner you go, the more power you make. unfortunately it also makes more heat, but you can compensate with higher octane fuel, which in turn burns a bit cooler to avoid detonation...i.e, which is why high compression motors use high octane fuel. heat is bad mmmmkay.

i use a 360 controller as well.. the triggers function as rudders, so it works quite well. how in the hell could you fly without constantly using the rudders? anything other than straight and level flight would be wrong.

flight is miles ahead of FSX. i don't even understand how people could put up with FSX's problems. i have a high end pc. its starting to date a little bit now, but still way many gamers and fsx runs like complete crap on it. i would average maybe 20-30fps.......while in flight i can steadily run 60 without any dips.

the carbon cub ss is SUCH a sick plane... there is a company here in Wisconsin that modifies these to a stall speed of only 20kts!!! INSANE. (not sure how, but saw it on TV!! must be true)

i would like to see, c172, twin otter, (or beaver) , some regional jet, and if they want a 'war bird' why not something different like a hu-16a ???

ok, i'm done until alaska,

hmmm....are you building a completely NEW pc, or just upgrading the one you have? are you going to use the same HD? anyways, i'd guess logging into your live account will allow you to DL and play all those things whilst being logged in, however, if you're not connected to live, then they probably won't work. you'll probably have to do a license transfer (like on xbox)... i'd email live support to be sure.

so, i wonder what kind of hardware setup he has in his computer...the monitors (at least one) were touch screen...but looked like it was win2000, lol. imagine what flight would look like on that running through xfire gtx 570's :Drooling:

Has to be, WOW! i mean, thats almost as good as the real thing! http://bcove.me/5x9w8cnd dude basically has a real airplane. what game is he playing though? FSX? i can't tell, the cloud to ground lightning was pretty nice looking.

if its seriously another war bird, im going to delete this game off my PC...there are hundreds of games where i can fly some war birds...do i want them in the game? yeah, but not right now, we already have a couple..how about some diversity.

i think both shows suck....lol and FWIW, ariel should NEVER EVER be allowed to get her pilots license...OMG
