The sim is great. Still a Beta, so lots of things missing, but to me it is already enjoyable, and finally we can have a proper WWII airplane outside the boundaries of FSX. ED is showing support and listening to the community, so the future of this product is looking quite bright.

Also, there are small details I love, like birds flying over the runways. And those details are reported in the tour guide, at each stage's description.

I did the first leg of the tour, and the scenery is really amazing! :) Album link

Looks great, just what I was looking for!

Nice, let's see how it goes! :D

I made an FSX movie, that also contains quite some FS2Crew usage. Hope you enjoy! :) [media=] [/media]

I had my first glider flight Saturday, so I can now give an impression. It was awesome! A bit weird and new for the first two minutes, but as soon as I got used to the continuous moving around of the thing, it turned quickly into the best experience of my life! Can't wait for my lessons to begin. :)

Sharing with you. Details in the youtube page description. Enjoy! :) [media=]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8ZHiZNv3lyk[/media]

Nothing, but it would save you money (both when you buy, and when you pay your energy bill).

As you get lower on power draw the efficiency drops. Getting low with a 550W means you have to get under 100W of power consumpion (roghly 20% of nominal power) to start losing efficiency, which is unlikely even on idle. Getting low with a 1000W means getting under 200W, which may well happen on the other hand. This means that on idle, with a PSU that is too big for your system, you will have a bigger power draw. Just like piston engines have a efficiency range, in a very similar way PSUs have their best spot in terms of power output/power consumption. http://www.anandtech.com/show/2624/3

Efficiency will drop under certain load factors and above some others. You need a well proportioned PSU to get the 80% efficiency. http://superuser.com/questions/320451/why-after-installing-a-80-plus-bronze-psu-my-power-consumption-is-now-higher

There is, cause it will eat up more power at idle. Also it will cost way more. Get the Asus GTX670 DirectCU II, with stock overclocking.That thing costs less and goes just like the 680.

Way too powerful PSU. I'd say 650W is sufficient.

Also refer to this list. You can see the BCode when you reboot windows and see the small popup window that tells you the system has stopped working.

Don't use auto vcore. Try 1.25 and make sure load line calibration is on a high setting in the BIOS. Also, disable Hyper Threading (HT).
