Near Crater Lake Or.

Hi folks,

I starting to get things up and running again. These shots should show if I'm successful?

Rupert

Michael - So far your upgrade is really paying off for you! Pics are great! Now you have to create your signature to showcase what you have for your flight sim set-up! I9, that is way beyond what most of us will ever be able to have in our arsenal!

Good job, Michael, we are patiently waiting for more pics!

Rick :cool:

Thanks Guys! It's still early days yet. But I think this setup will work nicely. And yes, I'll update my signature with what I call "Bragware."

Michael

Don't catch the meaning of 'Bragware,' but your pics are fine. Normal with a rig which could journey you to Mars :):)

Hi There!! I hope you remember you still owe me a case of Margaux!

"Bragware" is a term I use for people who "Brag" about how wonderful their system is, how fast their frame rate is, etc. My question is and has always been, what does the amount you/I spend at any given time have to do with the experience of others

Just for the information of friends and those who I deal with on a regular basis, I included the info of my current rig for those who might care in my "signature" for about a day. As I hope they can use my experience to make there experience better.

BTW: Since I don't want to "brag" about anything I own or have done, I have just eliminated that info from my "signature." ;) If you want or need details of my rig, I'll be so happy to provide it on a one to one basis!

IMHO, we are all who we are at this and every other time of our life! Where anyone else is isn't a matter we should be concerned about!;)

I hope you remember you still owe me a case of Margaux!

Just said, just done! :):)

Gee, Michael,

that area looks familiar for some reason. I can't seem to place it, though. Hmmmmmm....

OH YEAH!! I remember now!

I live there!!

Gosh, I wonder how I could forget that :D

Very nice pic's, Michael. Thanks for the great post!

I agree that some people present their system specs as a form of self-aggrandizement but my understanding is that the original intent of posting such information was to avoid answering requests about it. When we post screen caps there are inevitable questions about what we are running to achieve those results. My system is at least six year old technology and there is certainly nothing there to brag about. However it might be helpful for those with limited resources to gauge what can be accomplished with various levels of hardware. I also only use my signature once in posts I create and never when replying to others as it seems presumptuous to do so. Just my thoughts, as usual. -- Bob

That makes sense.:)

Thanks G'erard! After the turmoils of this build, I could use a drink or two!!:o

Michael

Also agree. Giving one's rig specs, and also, like Peer, I and other do, the freewares, paywares used, on a post by post basis, is in any case of use for rookies -- or not so rookies :) -- who get some useful hints. Thence they can adjust their practice! That's a way I think, of keeping with the original spirit of FSX :pilot:

Hey guys! I do understand your points! And they are good ones as well!! Having said that, you're not the braggarts I was referring to. It's the folks who say I get X FPS etc., that I was writing about. What good is 60fps or other specs that have no useful value except to brag about them?

I know a guy who owns a super hot Porsche which he says will do 180mph. Yet he's never driven it fast enough to get a ticket on the highway and won't take to to a track for a "track session!" Hell, IMHO, since he is too scared to use his car as it was designed to be used, he'd be better off driving a Chevy Volt and putting that excess money into a retirement fund or perhaps help feed and clothe the hugely needy!

Regarding your points, I'll go in and update my signature in case there is anyone out there it might help decide what they want in their rig.

Hey Pat! If it weren't for you and Ms Ghost I would have gone there RW last year, or was it two? Thanks so much for your wonderful hospitality! I really enjoyed my time in Oregon.

BTW: I have some more Crater Lake Screenies I'll publish soon.

Michael

...you're not the braggarts I was referring to...

You cute Rupert! :cool::cool::cool: All the community appreciate :):):)

Dumb typo mistake. The corrected sentence should say "Hey Pat! If it weren't for you and Ms Ghost I wouldn't have gone there RW last year, or was it two?

Yes, even powerful machines won't stop "Dumb typo mistakes!" rolleyes: They will, however, create them, occasionally!
