Thanks mallcott. I can see quite a difference now as I approach my upgraded airports, so the mesh addon will now probably contrast the default airports :-) I may give the upgrade a try and see how...
I'll add another $.02 on this discussion. I understand there will always be different preferences, and in no way do I need to bring anyone over to my preference. I admit, I did not spend too much...
Hello Simmers, I am a P3D user so post this question here, but it could apply to other sims I would think. I am considering a purchase of FS Dream World Mesh Release (global HD/uHD mesh for P3D). ...
I too am a 2D guy. People say VC (3D cockpit) with TrackIR is more real. Well, if you have the time and $, I believe the 2D to be more like the real thing. But what you need to go along with it is...
I learn something every day. I disposed of the CDs. I switched to P3D. Looks like Steam is the best FSX option today for folks switching hardware.
Flight Simmers, I have decided to transfer my licenses and part this out on Ebay. If anyone would like the three FSX CDs for postage only costs, forum message me.

Hello fellow flight simmers. I have recently enhanced my flight simulation hardware to include two 4k monitors and a third touchscreen monitor for the overhead panel. I have decided to upgrade my...
58 for me. I've been a simpilot since the Sublogic days of ATP. I haven't lost any enthusiasm for the hobby but life made me take a "break" at certain times. But I always returned with vigor and a...
I wasn't sure which forum to post this in, but since I use P3D I am posting it here. I like to implement hardware with tactile switches as much as practical and as budget and time allow. This means...
My rig is based on P3D not MS2020, but I have found there is nothing I could not accomplish with GoFlight modules using FSUIPC coupled with lua scripting. There is plenty of help and examples out...
Plainsman, you make a great point and I am glad you added that. I do indeed run two monitors at 4K and a third touch screen at its max res (1920 x 1080), and I am only running P3D. As you state,...
Hello, here is where I "land" on the subject. I am not a hardware expert by any means but have been a flightsim pilot since Sublogic days. I no longer "upgrade" anything existing, I use my current...
I added a touch-screen for the FT-ERJ OH panel today. I wouldn't want non-tactile switches for say an autopilot panel or other switches I need to manipulate often, but for an OH panel which is...
I have a Throttletek Lear 45 Throttle Quadrant and flaps work perfectly fine. Send me a private note with your email and I will see if I can help you get set up.
I agree Steve, they do look good!
[QUOTE=Rupert;2107636]That is a good looking rig!
Thank you Rupert!
I struggled with the decision on monitors and how it would affect performance. over a period of years I upgraded my processor and video card (which ended up requiring a MB changeout and power supply...
I answered my own question. I see from the Synthetic ILS's excellent documentation, the airbase runway has and ICAO code of KXTA and it is referred to as "Nellis Bmbg Rnge, Nevada". So I am off to...
Would I be able to use Synthetic ILS to land at a runway such as Groom Lake 32R, where no ICAO exists for the airport (e.g. the Secret Shuttle Mission)? Many thanks.
Thanks Mrzippy. My Global texture resolution was already set to max (very high). I did take the scenery complexity slider to max but that did not help. If you have any other ideas please let me...
Hello, I flew for the first time today the Amsterdam mission. It is a planned route from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (EHAM) to Heathrow, but you divert to Rotterdam Airport due to a sick passenger. ...
I give a plus 1 for you to consider the Embraer ERJ135 or perhaps the ERJ145. I regularly "fly" the Wilco Embraer Legacy bizjet which is a variant of the ERJ135 airframe but more modern. The ERJ135...
The "new" plane is flyable and works quite well. My LJ45 flew quite well as does the "new" plane. Theoretically the only difference should be the 3D model with the new plane. All the flight...
I recently purchased the Wilco Legacy (bizjet). Since I have lots of hardware and tons of FSUPIC/LUA programming hours on my LJ45, I decided to do something a bit unconventional. I am going to use...
