It needs to be split into two categories immersion/simulation A couple of years ago i would have agreed with the OP but this last week since my scenery library got all messed up i can't bring myself to complete a flight because of lack of immersion no point in flying a PMDG,FSL,Majestic complex aircraft with full systems when you look out the window to poor surroundings, so my hope for the new MSFS is focus on in depth immersion, graphic engine etc... and get an SDK to 3rd parties as soon as possible to work on high end simulation

Phew thought it was just me my loading times are ridiculous and elevation issues are a joke.

Migrating all of my products out of the core sim at the moment, prefer the UI of FTX Central, but nothing i wont get used to. i hope all is still ok after migration glad to get all of my purchases out of the core sim

To be fair PayPal is only convenient because it dominated so long & was the only show in town, but if two companies (that I know of orbx and simmarket) are having issues getting paid you cant blame them for dropping it, nobody in a commercial world can afford to wait months on end for payment, you cant pay wages and overheads if you don't know if your getting paid yourself. I always use PayPal when available & will continue to do so, if a dev or retailer won't except PayPal, I've got my prepaid master card, there are so many safe ways of purchasing online now this community and the world in general will adapt

Just a note anyone on p3d v4 not to purchase as its not compatible but we should have MK studios version soon (hopefully)

Thanks Kevin I missed that news too ,good news.

It was my first purchase from MK-Studios, always question marks when trying a new developers, but absolutely no problem highly detailed and would buy from them again (Only flew into Lisbon once for real in 2016 so not overly familiar with the airport)

I'm not sure what metric to use in my initial experience as I'm not experiencing a large fps gain 45fps at Orbx Southampton in the F-16 but it seemed to be a more fluid crisper experience. Doing airshow type flying over the airport I could sense "speed" that was almost like DCS.I imagine it was because there was no popping scenery. I'll do a more realistic a320 out of eham or kbos tonight and see was it just placebo effect.

Some vendors do not sell directly so that wouldn't be possible, like quality wings has to be bought through Flight1 for example But i agree when possible to deal direct with vendor This FSS situation is a mess

I also had this problem didn't find a suitable official fix but after removing my sim heaven Europe2 addon scenery folders it stoped my CTD

I remember downloading my first Orbx product it was YMML V2 and while it was downloading I then discovered it required the region also.i was so mad at myself for not reading first.I installed the airport no problem except the abrupt appearance when the airport boundary and default textures clashed... Maybe someone could answer this question tho. Orbx Southampton for x-plane was described by froogle as a port over from P3D. The beauty of x-plane is non-perfect runways (slopes & dips etc. ) is a direct port over airport going to have perfectly flat runways we have in P3D, just curious.

Im not trying to be smart Rick so please take no offence but was the Total price on the checkout page the actual amount you paid? or are you saying VAT was only added after the transaction had started

EIDW here too

I find it hard to consider the -8 an expansion from the preview pictures and information available it's generations ahead of the -400, PMDG could almost sell this at full retail price........I said too much

Just a side note other then GSX I had ntdll issues after crossing the Atlantic my culprit was certain models contained within my traffic 6. Most of these were non commercial aircraft such as military craft, Hence my crash was probably related to approaching different AFB along the east coast. I think in total I had to remove 6 or eight models from my traffic and was smooth flying since.

Not making a rash comment on the product until I see more information on it . however as a commercial venture it's a obvious conclusion to try and meet and hopefully exceed people's expectations,to generate a revenue stream so not sure I follow this comment.

Please read Jims CTD guide found here My ntdll.dll ctd was cause by certain models of AI traffic in MyTraffic 6. But everyone is different

That would be great news.the more top end developers the better. For the last few weeks I was using xplane for my quick flight fix due to time constraints 30mins flights "no plan no rules sort of flying" Had time to do a full flight this weekend in P3D and it just felt heavy slow and dated. Starting to lean a little more to xplane every month.

Well your not wrong but your not exactly correct either the 6700k is obsolete but so is the ancient 2600k and you will find it hard to find anyone who dislikes that CPU its a legend. The 6700k is no 2600k but any card capable of steady 4.5ghz if oc and cooled correct is not obsolete maybe by the time cascade lake comes out then we can use the word obsolete but not now. Seems like a very decent system. just confused you say your not computer savvy but you mention it being delided. Your talking more trouble then its worth i run mine at 4.2 and can still max out everything in xplane and mostly max setting in P3D v4

Ok I Know this is obvious but if you learn how to do it you also learn how to undo it, and as you mentioned if you have no self control this is just a wasted exercise

It seems a solid build, I would consider a higher PSU just to leave a bit of head room for and upgrade down the road to a 20 series GPU as that 1070 will have a shelf life of 3 months, also if your running 2 sims or have lots of orbx or photo real scenery i would consider allot more hdd space.Trust me i have a 500gb SSD for OS, 1TB SSD for P3dv4 and 1TB SSD for Xplane, but you can add more later Out of interest what Ghz are you expecting to get after the overclock and delid and not being smart if your confident to delid a brand new CPU do you really need advice on parts Best of luck

Is it your own personal computer or a shared family PC and you want to know over safety concerns? Edit never mind you answered for me :)

Ha perfect response, and a quick and witty retort.

Great post. Sums up how I feel about things lately, quite frankly I get mad at the little things, again like your analogy my pizza place knows pretty much every (small) detail. I'm pretty sure they don't know the big stuff...While my local doctor and hospital take 2hrs to find my file because there is two ways of spelling stephen 😡 and even after that I have to spend more time explaing why I'm there again.. As for google and the rest you look up reviews of anything from m.2 drive to patio cleaner it's just constant Adwords and e-mails about those products little do they know after reading reviews I popped into my car and bought them in a local store. And finally god forbid you look up vacations purely for the sake of getting ideas of where to go and ball park prices, you'll be hounded for months with emails form trip advisor , hotels and airlines "yet to book" "special offer" Personal data mining and/or narrow band A.I could be so powerful and useful in sectors such as health but it's being abused to sell us smart light bulbs, dyson air purifiers and other rubbish

Well that is my thoughts also........... just i have a 4 month old boy now and i feel slightly guilty about spending anything on myself even though he wants for nothing and has a comfortable house. That's why started spending more time on XP11 lots of great freeware got a great Boston and LIsbon airport for free easily payware quality if it was on another platform...but then i wanted the ixeg 737 and JAR A330 Meigs Field came today so i needed a light aircraft bought carenado pc12....If aerosoft release the airbus for V4 that's another purchase. There only Polygons, pixels and code but god this hobby is addictive I don't think i fit that category ....but i have to start All software is must have ( Except Camera addons like ezdock or chaseplane they never appealed to me )
