Just built a new rig to run aircraft like this,  funny thing is i didn't blink at the price of a titan pascal or other components, BUT €177 price tag for this bus no thanks, Guess i'm not the hardcore simmer i thought i was :smile:  

I am no expert at building PCs, Just finished my first build two months ago,

If your going to go for a 7700k wait a month for the first Z270 boards to go on sale, is what i would recommend  

So far so good 3 days in and no drop in fps with REX TD installed, Flightbeam KIAD and KDEN, only problem with lack of frames is with UK2000 Heathrow which brings it down to the mid teens, this is a shame since i have all of Gary's UK2000 airports and its discouraging me from installing more.

I have a new found respect for people who take pride in there cable management, so far it was the most annoying part of the build i have four Hard drive trays removed just so i could squeeze GPU powercord through, my own fault for going with a mid tower h440 from nzxt, nice case but for my first build wish i gave myself a little more room to maneuver

Hey all, No questions here just a happy simmer

After a few years of saving for a house and getting married last April, i was finally able to save and buy parts for my new build and stop using P3D with and AMD 7770 series GPU and an i7 2600 (non k) Dell PC

What a difference its completely reignited my passion for flight sim.And thanks to Robs P3D guide which came out right on time i am experiencing flight sim like never before & i haven't even switched to 4k monitor yet.

My New Build:

Asus z-170 deluxe 

32 GB Crosair dominator platinum 3000mhz

i7 6700 k

Corsair H100i v2 water cooler

3 x 1 TB Samsung evo SSD

1 x 500GB scandisdisk SSD for OS Win 10 64 bit

Nvidia Titan Pascal 

I was planning on adding another Pascal Titan in a few months but i'm not sure i need to  YET :wink:  

My only regret is not putting P3D on NVMe drive or m.2 but from what i could see the difference would be minimal.

Its still early days and so far i only have PMDG 777, My Traffic 6, FTX Global, England, Ireland, ASN and Aerosoft Dublin Airport added.I Installed these first as i was only getting 6fps on my previous PC so far it averages around 50fps in the 777, i expect this will drop when i add Rex texture direct and my other addons 

Anyway its nice to be back behind the virtual cockpit once again

Sad day. I've been to Orlando many times, great people.Stay strong

The problem I found with mobile detection on the web site was every time I viewed the site on a tablet (iPad mini) it brought up the mobile version which was horrible to navigate, I prefer the the way it is now but I understand the views of others, I just in general don't have a problem with some websites not being mobile friendly.

Yeah the same here, it's an odd problem because the flight track can be seen after I conclude a flight under the flight analysis tab but not while I' look at the map mid flight, had the same problem with every version of P3d from 2.0 to v3.

Nice Images again Aharon, it's unfortunate buffalo airways is grounded, they might have to go in that direction soon which would be a real shame for the old birds

Love this sale above all others, last year I purchased eight, Gary's work is top notch I hope to finish the collection this year.

I also buy the $200 version because I'm not a student, nothing to do with a watermark. Love the way some posters consider us idiots for purchasing the correct version, anyway small rant over better get back on track.

Welcome to the club.

Was freaked out when i got 7 E-mails from BMT this evening saying "thank you for your order" thought my account was hacked. Then fear turned into delight when i seen this was just fresh installers great work by FlyTampa.

Wish that email from BMT was phrased different though, was in a real panic until i could get onto the FlyTampa forum.

But again great work and a pleasant surprise in the end.

Is it not in the q400 you can disable the propeller view from the cockpit vc for an FPS increase, maybe PMDG found the the the same thing and decided to remove engine from that view.Just a guess?

I remember the original like and dislike buttons, and i remember the trouble they caused.

But i would prefer someone using a like button over somebody quoting a post and just adding "+1" or "I agree"

Fighting every day not to go into town by a PS4 and a copy of FIFA and Call of Duty, At that awkward stage in life where it's either spending the guts of €500 on a new console and games or putting the money towards getting the bathrooms retiled. Stupid 30's :smile: five years ago the PS would have won easily,it might yet  :He He:, who needs a floor in the bathroom anyway.

Has this thread turned into nonsense...Probably

Are most of us above nonsense? I know i'm not    let the rambling continue that's what makes this site a community after all, is it not?

You are set in your ways - missing out

I agree with Rich, your mind is made up. Aerosoft has a great bus here. Its always geting better and I can't wait till winter and the a330 arrives.

Oh ok thanks Chris, i seen distribution there but I thought that part was irrelevant. Thanks for clearing that up. Learn something new everyday.

Do those two paragraphs not contradict each other or am I just to tired to understand

1) author cannot oppose the resale of used licences

2)licence is exhausted on its first sale.

I believe the EU passed legislation allowing for the resale of downloaded products. But please don't quote me on that its a very grey area.

Thank you Tom. You will be missed and remembered.

I have no words, just sadness wrapped in anger.Thank you Tom my thoughts are with you.

Will never be forgotten, thank you for a remarkable career, and many memorable moments. A life well lived. LLAP

Got one from the web that I thought would be appropriate to us flight simmers. From a Newspaper article: "Ireland's worst air disaster occurred early this morning when a small two-seater Cessna plane crashed into a cemetery. Irish search and rescue workers have recovered 1826 bodies so far and expect that number to climb as digging continues into the night."

Classic joke, love it.

Reminds me of a time I was in a hotel room in the US watching dancing with the Stars and they kept on ribbing the irish guy for pronouncing "third place" as "xxxxx place"

Needless to say I spent the rest of my time there trying to avoid the word third. Thanks Elaine next time I now have to avoid saying "annoying" now too

For the record I didn't put the xxxx in that comment must be an AVSIM filter.
