Thanks. Btw, in your signature, what is 'HAF X'?
-
Both are on sale at Flysimware. So which one is best in terms of: 1. range 2. textures 3. realism Which one would you buy? Thanks.

You were showing me a batch file that will not work for the *steam* edition. I said the procedure you were showing me also works in the EXE.XML file. But that wasn't my question. My question was about how to start the steam edition of FSX. Thanks anyway.

Thanks, but this will not work because it doesn't load the steam client.

I found a new UNOPENED sealed really good quality Corsair brand power supply in my basement. The problem is it doesn't work. After some checking, I found out that I bought it in 2015. So it's almost 4 years old. Do power supplies have a limited shelf life? Black Friday sales are coming up in the US and I'm wondering if it's worth buying a power supply for future use if the price is way down. Thank you

Need advice purchasing or building a new PC please
nrios replied to RonVF's topic in PC Hardware, Video And Audio Help
I buy from two other places. B&H to save on taxes and BestBuy where I price match and pickup from the store to save on shipping. -
That's very helpful information. Thank you to everyone.

Not Prepar3d but if you're interested in just flying, your current laptop (mine has lower specs) will run FSX Steam consistently at 30 fps using older add-ons such as Ground Environment, Ultimate Terrain, FreeMesh, Aime Leclercq's road textures (download from Avsim), HDE Sky textures (flyawaysimulation.com), etc. If you must have P3D, try disabling ORBX and see if it makes any difference. I use it as my go-to entertainment when traveling and when I'm more interested in flying than enjoying VFR best-in-class scenery such as ORBX (I couldn't use this in my laptop... I removed it because I didn't feel like investigating why it adversely impacted frame rates... although I highly suspected it was due to my 5400 rpm boot drive).

Based on what I've read so far... the read speed on the NVMe is 6 (six) times faster than SSD (3400 vs 530 MB/s sequential reads). Are you saying that this doesn't matter with regards to scenery files specifically? I mean... the specs really don't mean anything? If they really don't, why do people buy NVMe's as boot drives instead of the cheaper SSD's?? Also, can I install all ORBX stuff on the D: drive (2 TB SSD) with everything else on the C: drive (500 GB NVMe)? Thank you very much. https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/solid-state-drives/ssd-970-evo-nvme-m2-500gb-mz-v7e500bw/#specs vs. https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-NAND-Internal-SDSSDH3-2T00-G25/dp/B071KGS72Q

I plan to install P3D 4.5 and ORBX for all (except TrueEarth?) products for Northern and Southern California, Pacific Northwest, the ORBX global stuff; all the REX products, Active Sky and a couple of payware planes. I'm not sure if all these will fit in a 500 GB C: boot drive. What would you do in my place? Thanks. This is a new desktop: CPU is Intel 8700K Windows 10 Pro 64 bit Graphics card is PNY 1070ti Memory is 16 GB 3200

Thanks. But the question was for the Steam edition. Btw, an alternative to your solution is to launch it from EXE.XML.
-
The Steam client does not load on that.

Batch file "example.bat" containing this single line does not work. steam://rungameid/314160

Can you provide a sample of one or two lines; or a link to a sample? Thanks.

I have ORBX Southern California but I thought I read somewhere (can't find the post now) that there were issues with the ORBX version of KSAN San Diego. Specifically with how the jetways did not align properly (SODE issue). Also there *might* be some issues with GSX but I'm not sure. If there are issues, have these been fixed? Please help me select one.
