  1. Hi… I’ve been out of the loop for a while - however - FlyQ GPS used to be an essential for me - had a PC client to connect to your iPad for a moving map display - and at the time it was the only free source of Geo-Referenced Approach Plates I’ve ever seen. Might be worth a look. Regards, Scott
  2. Hi Folks, Nice - ever read “The Stand” ? Regards, Scott Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Hi Folks, I don’t know what sim you’re flying - I just had an in flight break up from over stressing my Skylane while flying too close to a cell in IMC landing at Reading PA a few weeks ago... Regards, Scott Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Hi Folks, Huh ? LOL - I was a diehard FS9 guy - really no interest in FSX and never used it - I skeptically purchased and setup P3Dv3 and all the usual suspects of addons during a holiday sale period to give it an earnest try - I kept FS9 on my hard drive for two years fully intending to go back and fly my old favorites no matter what happened with P3D - I couldn’t do it - not once - there - is - absolutely - no - going - back - P3D is vastly better than both FS9 and FSX... Just my 2 cents - your mileage may vary... It’s without a doubt - the closest thing that mimics my experience in real cockpits - on a PC... Regards, Scott Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  5. Hi Folks, Where’s the version with the PT6 up front - Reno ? Nice looking plane in an odd sort of way... Regards, Scott Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  6. Hi Folks, Send lawyers, guns, and money... :) Regards, Scott Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  7. Hi Peer, Looks absolutely superb - been following Bernardo’s progress for years... Nice presentation... Regards, Scott Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  8. Hi... If you happen to live and fly in North America - this is your best bet for a completely FREE EFB - that includes the only source of FREE Georeferenced Approach Plates and Taxi Diagrams... Many people have used it for many years without issue... FltPlan GO https://flttrack.fltplan.com/FltPlanInfo/FltPlan_Go-Android-iPad_Info.html Regards, Scott
  9. Hi Folks, Yeah - I have a set of CH Pedals gathering dust in the closet - the most accurate and precise rudder control I’ve managed to get in the sim is via the micro thumb joystick on the CH Pro Throttle... It works quite well... Regards, Scott Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  10. Hi Folks, Correction - had to look it up - wasn’t the Ranger - it was the Big E... Regards, Scott Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  11. Hi Folks, Really nice set - Go Navy. I think it was the Ranger in the late 80’s in San Diego - they had a big sign on the side of Pri-Fly - “Hormuz Highway Patrol” - lol - I thought it was pretty humorous at the time... Regards, Scott Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Hi Folks, If you want a "Lear" in P3D - do yourself a favor - get the Flysimware Lear 35A - it's one of the finest aircraft I've ever flown in FS - three years of continual updates and overhauls by a very passionate developer - the last one completely redid all the textures - new texture artists - in full HD 4096x4096, AO, and PBR for P3Dv4 users - the plane is absolutely stunning inside and out... Three years of improvements and massive updates - absolutely free to owners of this fine craft... Unlike some others in the BizJet market - systems in this one simply work... LOL - massive tip tanks are just badass... Note: I am not affiliated with the company in any way - this is just the one bird I keep flying (and painting)... Flysimware Lear 35A Regards, Scott
  13. Hi Kirk, Here’s the video I followed and I used the “Rocket Tool” as well to crack the CPU - with minimal angst and stress... Yeah - Intel got smarter and the 9700K used a better heat transfer material and none of this is needed anymore... Went back to solder instead of paste... https://youtu.be/hrjvmESbsuY Regards, Scott Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Hi Kirk, While it's nice to keep them within reason - 90C sounds hot - there is a shutoff in the CPU to stop before damage... The 7700K and 8700K are notoriously hot chips - Intel used a sub par heat transfer material - you should investigate the "delid" process to replace same... I followed a YouTube video and it's really not that bad - I have my 7700K running at 5.0 Ghz and I have yet to exceed 65C under load... A good CPU cooler is essential - the Noctua NH-D15S is probably the best air cooler on the market and the brand has served me well for many years... My last build was a 2700K and I ran it at 4.7 Ghz with temps between 79C-81C under load - and it ran this way for seven years without issue... An OC gives you the most bang for your buck - it's like night and day performance - there's no sense spending top dollar for high end components if you're not going to OC it... It's like paying for a Ferrari and driving it like a Yugo... Just my two cents... Regards, Scott
  15. Hi Greg, Do yourself a favor and try Little NavMap - it's free - under active development - and it's the best one I've ever come across for Flight Sims... Did I mention it's FREE - LOL ? Supported platforms: Windows 7/8/10, macOS (10.10 or newer only) and Linux (64 bit only). Support for Flight Simulator X, Flight Simulator - Steam Edition, Prepar3D v2, v3, v4 and X-Plane 11 (64 bit). https://albar965.github.io/littlenavmap.html Regards, Scott
