Wish somebody would make scenery for KOWB. I fly in and from there frequently

for giggles I inserted a spare 46" HDMI in my 3 monitor setup & it won't fully load FSX. so. I'll hunt around for a 23-25" for my center mon & run the 22 & 19" Left & right respectively Some of you can run 27" and above but You have way more horsepower than my i5 3470... Fly on ....

Thanks i got the right mon to AT LEAST display cockpit windows http://home.grandecom.net/~mbixby/IMG_1987.JPG

GT640 ddr3 2G Card straight forward setup VC front on center, left wing view on left monitor and right wing view on right monitor My card has 2 DVIs 1 VGA & 1 HDMI. I use 2 DVI (center & left mons) but the right mon (VGA) just wants to duplicate or ant drag new window to it.. Help

thnx Flying right now Yes I have Windows 7 & Total Commander both showing hidden files. It just didn't find using normal "search" I will never fly without 2 monitors again. In fact, waiting on third DVI-D cable I'll have three soon

Sorry . I didn't state I'm using 7 Home premium

Installed on 240G SSD with Ultimate terrain USA Scenery, milvix 310R, RealityXP gauges and Carenado A/C and running real wx. FYI. This system works smooth. Fluid landings in rain and dense cloud environment. I now run two monitors and it makes huge difference & improves the experience ten fold. center for forward view and left monitor for left wing/45 degree port side. Great for down wind and base.

this enroute.

Thanks . I been debating whether to go '77 (ll55) or Haswell '87 (ll50) didn't know which socket is best value I should have stated I'm not interested in over clocking (at this time heh heh)

I had to give up my fsx box to my wifes work. So I decided to replace it with a DIY. admittedly i've always ran a par to subpar computer for my flightsimming and got by with tweaks. all my forum research tells me to go quad core intel with nvidia for gpu . hows this configuration? with my existing 17" display, ms sidewinder usb 1.0 joystick. atx case with 7200 rpm win 7/fsx/carenado/milviz/ USTerrain/ real WX/ and a 75 Mbps download speed.

Have both Realair DUKE(s) great planes Turbine all works B60 DME and Transponders are dead. I tried copying the DUKET guages over to CFG file. That also didnt work.

a Carenado 310R would be nice
