  1. Well, so much for FS11 for now. Looks like nothing has changed over the years- LOL! All I will add is that I do not have to run my monitor at its max of 2560 x 1440, of course. I do not even run it at that normally. Right now I have it at 2048 x 1152. It's a 32" Viewsonic. 20 years ago I used to pay $1100 for 21" Viewsonic CRTs, this one was $275!
  2. Many thanks! We'll see how long I stay back- LOL! Anyway, the CPU is an Intel Core i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz Also edited my post to reflect that. Not happy to hear about the video, MS said that was recommended, not minimum, but then again I have more than a passing familiarity with MS and what they say will work well. I used to buy a new machine with every new version. Back then, they paid for themselves!
  3. Hello all, It's been almost 13 years, and perhaps some of you might recognize me (not sure if that's good!) If you do recognize me you'll know I am not new to MSFS, in fact far, far from it. I still have my MS DevCon badge from the '07 Seattle meeting! That was then, and this is now. Anyway, I'm debating getting the latest version, but that will not happen until the flight control hardware I want is back in stock, however in the meantime I could use opinions on my machine. MS says it should be more than adequate, but I want to know from those using the Sim. Dell XPS 8930 (8 months old) Intel® Core™ i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz 32gb RAM 512gb SSD C: drive 2tb HDD Nvidia GTX1050 w/ 4gb (yes, I know, even more = better!) Many thanks for any opinions, and I'll see how this plays out!
  4. As to what the future holds, I have no clue, but I do agree with you about FS9. As for me: I upgraded PCs each time a new version came out. Dell was always my choice. I didn't have time to waste to build anything custom. As to the Aces team; all great folks. My first contact at MS was with Hal Bryan, back in the FS2000 days. He's now with EAA! I pray that they offer the same support to 3rd party developers again- don't let us down. I hope to have to check on flights from FLL or MIA to to SEA, now that I'm living in Florida.
  5. I started with FS98 20+ years ago, and I am speaking with folks behind the scenes and DF team members. We are paying VERY close attention to this. If MSFS comes back, we're coming back, and with all new aircraft too. Clean slate. Of course, I might make an exception for a re-do of Nels' Archer! We shall see, but, and at age 60, I've still got the stamina for another version or two, or four!
  6. Hi, Lou....Just dropped by to see if you are still around. It has been years since I last posted to the FS.com forum. I have been hanging out at Cal Classics for several years. Are you still an avid cruise fan? I finally wrapped it up with eleven cruises thru the Caribbean and one down to Panama Canal. Had to give it up as my wife can no longer travel due to dementia and Alsheimers. I'm still going strong though considering that I am now approaching 92 years. My old friend Captain Bala passed away yesterday morning. I guess you know he retired as a Air India B-747 Captain several years ago. Had a stroke that removed him from the flight deck. AI sent him out to Koala Lumpur where he was the full motion simulator supervisor for their fleet of A300 series aircraft. Regards, Lou

  7. How do I place screenshots onto the Forum? I've been adicted to Flightsim since '04 and have some spaectacular views of Bush Flying over Alaska... Thanks .. HJM
  8. Hi Lou

  9. Some pictures posted to the following thread are copyright violations. Seems some well-meaning folks do not get the message that it is wrong and illegal to do so. Can you please remove these shots and warn the offenders? Thanks.

    It is important for folks to know what can and cannot be shown. There are many fine shots in that thread (some of mine too) which are shots taken by the members. That is fine. People need to understand that anything else, (copied from the web) is not.

     

    As a Wikipedia Admin I am constantly fighting the copyright violation battle. Seems folks do not understand that copyvio and plagiarism are not OK.

  10. Hi Lou,

    just wondering if you could move this thread to the screenshot forum

    thanks Dylan

  11. Hi Lou,

    For some unexplainable reason my default FSX aircraft have lost their landing/taxi lights. All my addon aircraft are ok. Any idea what might have caused the problem? I haven't loaded anything new into FSX lately that might have caused it - I don't think!

  12. Hi Lou,

     

    Would you be so kind to delete this thread:

    Sorry I double posted.

  13. Mr. Betti,

     

    It seems as though the Flight Sim market has died down just a bit with new aircrafts coming out. I can't tell you how many hundreds of hours I have in the A36 Bonanza (real and sim time). As a suggestion maybe? But what would you or your team think of a TBM 850? I used to fly a TBM 700 N62LM serial # 67. If model is done the way you and your team did the A36 and the Baron, it is sure to be a hit. Just throwing it out there. I am not a big fan of FSX so I am talking FS9.

     

    Thank you for reading this.
