I own and fly the Majestic Dash 8 Q400 Pro. I think it is probably one of the top ranking versions of the Dash 8. Performance wise it runs many processes outside of FSX, yielding great performance. Really a joy to fly.

I just purchased a machine at Best Buy that was a No Name  called IBuyPower. Started researching it and was surprised a how well it was built up:

MSI System Board

I-7 Processor 3.4 GB Turbo to 4.0

8 GB DDR4 2133 Ram

Nvidia GTX 1070 with 8 GB

700 Watt Power Supply

120GB SSD

1 TB HDD

System was priced at  $ 1149 US

Fresh Install of FSX-SE set itself at Ultra High settings.

Ran in the 45-65 FPS with just the clean install, even at Las Vegas and Chicago

Loaded up all my ORBX and Aircraft and still holding decent FPS. I will have to back off some of the settings, but very happy overall. I will add another * GB of system RAM.

I am seeing posts of many many Alaska airports. Unfortunately when I look at

the map display I see maybe a dozen. I am running a 32 bit machine which I understands limits scenery density, but it also make my airports go away also???

Thanks for any help and fly on!

Greetings to all,

I have seen several posts that refer to a "Maximum" graphics setting. I only have Low, Medium, and High. Does flight offer a "Maximum" setting based on graphic card specs? I have an ATI HD 4650 with 1 GB of RAM.

Thanks,

Greetings to all from Nebraska,

A little help for an old man please. I have done a nice water landing, taxied up to the landing for the memorial, opened the cockit, exited the plane (Icon) but I am stopped at that point. No matter which direction I try and go I am stopped. Your help will be appreciated.

Thanks everyone. Looksw like a new video goes in my next upgrade.

Greetings to all,

First off, I am very happy with Flight. I did note that my trees, etc.. do not seem to be as thick as they look on the Windows 7 theme scenes. I have trees and bushes, but they seem to be a long ways apart. I have an ATI 4650 with 1 GB of video ram. Am I just expecting too much? The options are all get to the top (high) settings

Thanks,

Les
