Guys $100 is not bad for an actual airbus in digital form. Physical Airbus = $98 Million Digital Airbus = $100 Yes they recreated the actual thing.

The case I picked, NZXT H440, is a mid tower case and has limited airflow. So I figured the liquid cooling would be more efficient for the setup. Should I spend an extra $20 and get the Corsair H100i instead?

Thanks for the reply. I think I will go with the i5, I am trying to budget. Sounds good!

Anyone know if this i 7 4770K will be necessary or if I can stick with the i5 4670K? The price ranges are very different so I assume the i7 makes a huge difference? Anyone know what I'd be missing out on? I have already started building this, I just wanted to know how well this will run with all of the FSX addons... ground scenery, airports, weather and clouds, traffic, etc. Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor Corsair H80i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler Asus MAXIMUS VI FORMULA ATX LGA1150 Motherboard Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB Video Card NZXT H440 (White/Black) ATX Mid Tower Case Corsair RM 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Or would an i5 4670K work just as good? The price range between the too is quite large, so what exactly would I be missing out on if I grab the i5? Here is what I am building.

I really need help finding a prebuilt PC. I have been searching for hours on NewEgg, and I just can decide on THE ONE. I have seen good looking rigs from everywhere between $500 and $1500. Please help me guys. These are what I've been looking at. http://www.newegg.com/All-Desktop-PCs/SubCategory/ID-10?Order=REVIEWS

I hand fly the entire way, especially on 14 hour flights.

Aerosoft Airbus X is the best airbus in FSX as of today. Its not nearly as in good as the PMDG 777. Aerosofts Airbus is not something you can really train with, "Its for entertainment purposes". But it is still very fun to fly and it feels like an airbus, and it looks like an airbus, and only a professional could tell you otherwise. You can do real airline flights with it. The graphics are very nice also. FSLs airbus will be a real actual virtual airbus. Buy Aerosofts, then get FSLs bus later.

Yeah I agree they should keep it clean. I'd draw the line when they start editing the screenshots with photoshop, or adding effects and overlays in the promotional videos.

UrtheCast is launching soon. I think November.

Are the engines too loud? Adjust the volume of the aircraft.

was reading replies and realized - what ever happened to chock?

"Now that we know where the clouds are, we decided to make a detailed accurate NEXRAD radar precipitation overlay for both the Map and the included radar gauge. Real radar simulation.. not generic station-based imagery. You see the cloud, you see the rain cell, and when you enter it, it's all synchronized. Thread the needle between cells. Realistic avoidance procedures. This overlay data is also coming soon to aircraft NDs as we are working on an interface of our radar data to aircraft developers." That being said. I wonder which aircraft will get Weather Radars? And the fact that the wx radar will actually be put into the ND... Sounds dreamy...

Oh alright so its just the military planes that are static. Alright well that answers my question, thanks guys. Its not a big deal, but usually static aircraft for airports - means that the gates will have some aircraft. Mir you tricked me man! lol. I'll see how world of Ai looks, hopefully it gets the Us airways on the correct side.

So back to the Static Aircraft? How do I get that to show?

I read something just now, and yeah they are definitely up to something. http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/64575-major-product-announcement-coming-this-weekend/?p=589544#entry589544

I never really fly to KIAD, but KPHX is my main airport. Us Airways & SouthWest have bases at KPHX which makes KPHX my most important airport! Plus I get the 1 Hr flights from KPHX to KLAX, and KPHX to KLAS. 2 hr flights from KPHX to KDEN. Honestly, if you like flying on the west, then get KPHX. If you like Southwest or Us Airways then get KPHX. Plus British Airways, United, and Delta fly there. Kphx is actually a lot easier on frames than I expected. The new graphics these days, they are better looking and better on performance. On the website there is screenshots of Us airways and Southwest Airline planes parked at the gates. And one of the listed features is tht you can have Static aircraft parked at the gates. I don't have an option in the addon manager for static aircraft...

Thank you everyone who helped. My issue is solved. Offline installation is the ONLY way that I could get it working. Its working flawlessly. It makes absolutely no sense to me, but hey it works. Now if anyone else ever has this issue, have them try disconnecting from the internet. Now if I want to use GSX, Im assuming I should install that offline as well?

Alright, I installed Security Essentials by microsoft, Completely turned it off (Real Time Proection switched off), then I installed KPHX. I then Went to Excluded files and Locations, I browsed to both of the files you said to and created exceptions for both files. I flipped the antivirus switch back ON, now I opened FSX. (did not get a message popup durring load up of FSX). Still don't have an addon manager, in fact the only thing I have under my addons menu is FSUIPC. I hope we can figure this out. In the morning I will go at it again, maybe another fresh install of fsx. I seriously think my fsx is broke. I have installed/uninstalled KPHX about 20 times in the last 24 hours no doubt about that. I mean it looks as if the airport UN-registered itself?

>.< I blew it. Installed GSX free version, and now I have no more KPHX Sky Harbor.... What is going on I finally had it working after 24 hours and 40 installs/Unistalls... ah crap. I need help. <Frustrated out of my mind> How on earth did installing GSX make my registered KPHX stop working? dude... plz help me. I went from super happy too very very very sad in a matter of minutes..

I know this isn't the flightbeam forum.... But this airport is extremely impressive, and I was just curious about how you turn on the static Aircraft?

Yeah I got it working by deleting my Antivirus, I got your email Mir! KPHX is incredible. It looks perfect. Thanks a lot! I just hope when I install my Antivirus again, that it doesn't interfere with anything. (Gunna take SO MANY screen shots of this airport lol. I've wanted it for an entire year!)

Yeah I have tried deleting my dll.xml and reinstalled both KPHX, and the FSDT addon manager alone. When I open fsx I don't even get a popup to ask me if I want to run the addon manager module or anything like that. I guess I could try posting that here and see if you guys can find anything, but I've pretty much given up at this point on trying to figure it out myself. Its tough work. I'm still waiting for an email back from them, starting to look like a refund..

I had the addon manager a while back when I tried the demo.. But i deleted it with the demo. And now I have the demo back, but with no addon manager. How exactly do I fix my dll.xml file?
