Glad to hear it! Ill be sure to spread the word once I hit the publish button

Thanks for the support! I have been trying to make sure that the app looks good on the Nexus 7, but will make some minor adjustments prior to release I reckon. Regardless, the app will be out within a few days at the latest!

Unfortunately, I have no idea how OpenCockpits stuff work as I have never set up one myself. If they require Windows, then I guess there's not much you can do.

The Linux kernel was the OS kernel first to get full x86-64 support (back in 2001, long before the 64 bit version of Windows XP came out), so no worries there Regarding XP performance, then as long as you have an Nvidia card, then performance is at least as good in Linux as in Windows, if not better. Depends on card and driver I suppose. In my case, I get a better experience in Linux than in Win 8, but your milage may differ As for desktop environments, I would recommend Gnome Shell or XFCE btw

Interesting. I actually do have PMDG aircrafts listed in there, but I might need to give winds some more thought. Appreciate the feedback!

Well, the GUI part is simple, because basically no matter which distro you pick, you can always take a pick of which desktop environment you want. It really depends on how experienced you are with these things I suppose. I would still recommend Arch Linux, personally

It depends on how much Linux experience you already have or how much effort you want to put into learning it and getting it right. I could just say download Ubuntu and give it a go, but being a big fan of "thinking correctly", I have to recommend Arch Linux

Looks good! You can always skimp on both the harddrive, GPU and CPU I suppose, but then again, I would just try and get the most bang for the buck here in order to make sure XP will run smoothly, not just today, but tomorrow as well But at any rate, it looks good mate! EDIT: And if you want some Linux tips and tricks, just give me a poke

Thanks! Anything you would like to see added to it though?

Hey! I think this looks like a decent setup. With X-Plane moving into 64 bit land, you should quickly be able to use those 8GB's of delicious RAM. If I were you though, I would try to squeeze off some more money and get a slightly better processor and/or video card. Though I realize that everyone has a limit, and I think your proposed system will do a good job Personally, I would save those $99 you plan on spending on Windows, and just go with Linux and use that money for a better CPU/GPU. X-Plane runs extremely well on my Arch Linux box and I get better performance than in Windows 8, possibly thanks to the newly released Nvidia Linux drivers that are simply amazing Good luck!

Hi all! This is my first post here at Avsim, and hopefully not the last one. I recently realized that what I need equally as much is a simple fuel planner app. I currently rely on various websites and calculators for doing it by hand, and figured it would be a good fit for an Android application. Ive been hard at work and can now present to you xFuel, the fuel planner app for Android. The list of features is subject to change, but currently the following is either already implemented or planned. Origin and Dest Airport Aircraft Type (Featuring a wide range of aircraft - 30+ atm) METAR Weather Toggle-able Metric/Imperial units Rules (JAR, INTL, FARDOM) Fuel Planning history Proper Holo Android UI design Supports Android 4.0 and newer I would really appreciate feedback, ideas and suggestions. Im hoping others will find the app useful, but it requires input from those who want the app to be as good as possible The app is pretty much finished at this point, but I figured before I published it to the Play Store I would try to poke around here and see if anyone has any suggestions? Thanks all, and fly safe!
