I have two recommendations for anyone looking for vintage flying in FSX. First, buy the FSX Steam Edition of FSX, it is smoother than the boxed versions, has all the fixes and tweaks necessary to...

Having the OS installation software on a thumb drive is actually very convenient and data transfer is fast. MS almost always has two license types for of every variant of Windows, OEM and retail. ...

Oooh, that's right. California has restrictions on computers based on energy consumption. By the way, it is my understanding that Alienware is owned by Dell, don't know if Alienware is worth the...

There are professional truck drivers and then there are steering wheel holders. This driver does not even make the qualification for steering wheel holder.

It could be covered under warranty, but I could not afford the down time involved with packing it up and shipping it back for service. I was going to do another DIY build, but at the time, many of...

Never forget.

My current system was built by Newegg, it is their ABS line of computers. I would not waste my money on another pre-built system by Newegg, I had to replace the EVGA power supply as it burned out...

An electric knock-off of the Beetle... meh.

This is a real Beetle, used to see these things all the time back in the '70's. Cheap, reliable, economical.

I've not experienced that many warbirds in the air at one time. I would suspect that having that many passing by at low altitude would not only produce a wonderful sound, but the ground would...

Ummm... April fool's joke.


The movie poster.

The movie was a joke too. I ended up regretting spending my money on a ticket to see it.

Seems to me the default Cessna 172SP's fuel cut-off control is reversed. Out should be the closed position, but MS got it backwards and made out the open position. So if your default flight is set...

I get the feeling that a whole lot of us dedicated flight sim users and developers are in the AARP club, that is to say, over the age of 50.

This is very good, indeed!

Their BE99 was by far my favorite. Spent lots of hours hauling virtual freight from Opa Locka to various islands in the Bahamas.

Yeah, he likes to trade paint, but only when it serves his purpose. These kids need to learn that this is a part of NASCAR short track racing. By the way, my wife and I both think that the Xfinity...

Just for giggles, I went to PCPartPicker and spec'ed out a system that is a duplicate of what I currently use. According to PCPartPicker, I need a 414 watt PSU, yet my system came with a 750 watt...

I watched the end of the Cup race. It was a wild last lap.

Very much so.

NASCAR should be an acronym for National Association of Super Car Auto Racing because the "Stock" was replaced by completely non-stock, custom built cars several decades ago.

That was funny!

Guess we will see what these developers who abandon P3D in favor of MSFS do when the X-box gamers get tired of MSFS and stop buying and playing it.

MSFS is still a work in progress. It's a high beta and it may be the better platform when finished, assuming it ever is finished. Until then, I am also sticking with FSX and eyeing P3Dv5 as a...

I think it's great that Dino has placed works that he no longer wishes to support into freeware status instead of just deleting them from future availability.

Ed,

A. Sad that you will be taking a hiatus from FSX scenery making.
B. Glad that you have this new opportunity.
C. Sad that it involves a really long commute.
D. Thank you for the scenery you...

Might be time for FSX Steam Edition. I went the Steam Edition route with this new computer, not regretting it either.
