Ok, a plug for my hometown is necessary here. :wink:

07 to everyone who was there that day fighting for their countries, their families, their brothers, and their lives. My nearest serving relative was preparing to land on Saipan in the Pacific, and my parents' parents were still in diapers, but I've been able to learn a lot about what transpired that day, and It's an honor knowing I've lived on the same planet as those brave men. From playing the bagpipes in front of machine gunners, to just taking that step off the ramp of a boat into the jaws of Hell, everyone did their part. I hope that if we remember their sacrifice and are able to act, there will never be such a preventable cataclysm. Respect. I hope I will be able to continue everyone's great tradition of service in our armed forces.

Here's a few from beautiful PAJN/JNU. I think they're better looking than many of the smoggy city-scapes on that link, but I'm a little biased.

PAJN to PAKT? Full ORBX coverage. Even though it goes over two scenery regions, they're both must-haves. You can fly B737, Twin Otter, Q400 (which may be an IRL reality in the near future), Beaver, you name it. Beautiful area.

As an observer who purposefully didn't invest anything into this forum, I think "The RTFM guy" is a much too kind description for what you are. You should be kind.

It's coming soon! And excuse me for reading your emails, but good for you for being a runner. :good:

I don't know about you guys, but I'm safe, I drive a Chevy <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XxFYYP8040A" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

What he said, and if you'd prefer coverage over all of the U.S. and all of Alaska, I'd go with UTX+GEX. And, you can also buy Ultimate Alaska X, does the same thing, except it covers Alaska. Personally, I like GA flying around my home turf in and between SE AK and PNW, so I yse ORBX. I'm thinking of getting UTX+GEX for any adventures outside it's coverage area.

Excellent pictures, It reminds me of my recent trip from PANC back to PAJN, the weather conditions were just as they were in your pics, it was beautiful. Shame I didn't have a camera (though I gotta admit, it was a little prettier in person )

Nice video, beautiful country and a nice day always make a great video, it's always beautiful to fly over on flights to Seattle, though I'd prefer my country on a nice day over BC every day of the week, I prefer mountains

Great shots! My grandpa owned one of those planes, it's a shame he had to sell it, but those shots look great!

I'm gunna give it to Tongass Fjords X for accuracy around the airport, everything else in the pic to UAKX. I was in wrangell a few weeks ago, albeit in the evening, and it seemed to had the tan-ish area around the airport as seen in TFX, though I thought it was grey. However, the near shore has trees almost all the way to the water, saw this from a ferry a couple days later. If I had to choose, I'd go with Ultimate AK X.

This stuff is funny. They're complaining about that white stuff, here's some good ol' SAC smog makers having some MITO fun!

Yeah, it's all pretty much guessing for now.

Do you know this, because I'd imagine they'd keep most of the Classics until the MAXs replace the NG's down south, then take those up here to fill in the Alaska only routes. I think they'd also want to keep maintenance down to one type of aircraft up here instead of doing jets and turboprops, probably save money.

Cool, looks like we might get NG's for Alaska domestic routes... In like 5 years

Oh, makes sense.

It's not like they really need it, most of the routes up here between Alaskan destinations are flown with 400's anyway, haven't flown on anything inside Alaska but these save 1 time in a 700 maybe 5 years ago... but the day will come that the classics will be replaced.

I got to fly on this one once JNU-ANC, last summer I believe

Cool, thanks, that's what I'll be getting! Piper

I don't know where I'd find that, but, my model number is HP Pavillion 6653W. Here's a thread from some forum with a guy talking about his... http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/292898-any-am3-socket-or-core/ Oh, here's a thread at the HP Forums http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/CPU-not-supported/td-p/1264163 Apparently it's an N-Alvorix-RS880-uATX (Alvorix). Here's a pic and the stats http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02560084&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=4313690#N36 So apparently it'll take all of the Phenoms, as long as they're 95W (I got a 550W power supply, the first one was 230 or something).

So, I've got an HP tower, just about a year and a half old, and I've got an AMD Anthlon II x2 at 3.1 ghz (stock), with an AM3 socket (not the AM3+ socket), 2 4gb sticks of RAM and 2 2GB sticks for 12GB total (originally 5GB stock), along with an AMD 6770 1GB graphics card (had no card stock), and a 550W power supply. I was wanting to get a processor upgrade, and I'm pretty sure my best option is an AMD Phenom II processor, either the x4 960T, or an x6 model. I've got 225$, and I'm using my computer for FSX, what should I get? Thanks! Piper

Ugh, I'm really mad that I didn't get either Orcas Island or Diamond point, they look soooo good! But, I shouldn't complain, I got PacFj, PNW, Ketchikan, and Harvey (even if Harvey is an especially bad frame sucker, though it does have lots of options.)

Cool, thanks for your great answers. :) I think I'll go ahead and get REX, GEX, and Ultimate Alaska. I fly around here a little too much to stay on the current garbage scenery, I'll get USA later. Thanks again!
