    Good afternoon. Quick Question, I have used a FSX Tweak website but I've noticed nHancer isn't supported anymore, Are there any similar programs I can use to make my FSX look nice and smooth? Thanks!

    Turns out they had reports of people in the roof of a local school so I forgive them for it, Just doing their jobs. Clever though britfrog! I'll have a look into those programmes and try the demos. I don't do VFR flying at all really I prefer my heavies much more fun in my opinion although I may try some VFR when I get ORBx installed. My PC was dispatched today so it will be here in morning, Lets hope my Acceleration arrives aswell! Thanks chaps!

    I understand gentlemen, Thanks for the heads up. I believe my Acceleration will probably come the same day as my computer, Fingers crossed anyway, Waiting one more day wont hurt I guess. I've got a flying lesson this week and a day trip to Wales with a girl I used to go to school with to keep me occupied aswell! You're up late, Or early, Needles! I've been woken up by the West Midlands Police Helicopter hovering above my house!!

    Cheers Brett wasn't aware that save me a job, can I install my scenery and aircraft before I install the acceleration as that might come a couple of days after my new computer or will I have to wait? Not been on today with working and watching the US open. Thanks!

    I really like the look of Opus I'm leaning towards giving that a try to be honest, Does Opus provide the breathtaking skies like REX does?

    Which addons?

    Hi, It is going to be a tough choice but I have the weekend to have a look through. I'm waiting for my FSX Acceleration to be dispatched and have SP1 + SP2 downloaded ready. I will look more into this FSGRW as I have never heard of it before. Thanks!

    Which addons?

    Seem's I am spoilt for choice when it comes to a weather addon, I'll have a ponder over the weekend, My PC doesn't come until Tuesday or Wednesday so I have plenty of time.

  13. Great shots my friend. I do miss seeing the good old MyTravel livery...
  14. My wife accused me of ruining her birthday yesterday. "Rubbish!" I said. "I didn't even know it was your birthday."
  15. That looks brilliant Alan! I was a keen Airfix moddeller for a long time mainly Second world war aircraft, i did a couple of tanks but wasn't really that good I also did a USS Missouri which I liked but your's are 1000x better than what I ever managed. Very nice sir.

Any opinions would be great! Thank you muchly.

    Martin, Thanks for the advice my friend, Unfortunately I couldn't afford to go over Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz RAM, perhaps in the future I may upgrade, but it should be more than enough, I opted for a Corsair H60 2013 Water Cooler so I can maybe test out a bit of overclocking and for the extra cooling as I have had problems with my CPU's overheating in the past because of how hot my darn room is. Mistwalker, I see it is nearly the same apart from the GPU I can't wait to boot her up and get FSX installed! Noticed you are from Cannock aswell, I had a night out there the other weekend. Ch

    Hi there, thanks for the welcome back it's nice to be flying again. Thanks for the advice as well I appreciate it, britfrog I was also thinking about going up to the 1600Mhz RAM, I wanted the SSD for the optimal loading times so think I might stick with it As I am only putting my OS and FSX on it and 2TB will be more than enough for what I need, I still haven't used the 1.5TB in my current system. Thanks for the help guys!

    Hello gentlemen long time no see! Been really busy with work for the past year and half and have done a fair bit of travelling and fallen in/out of love etc. Back into the Flight Sim scene but still using FS9 on my outdated system and getting rather bored of it now so I've decided to finally make the scary jump to FSX. I've priced up a system that I personally think will be able to run its fine and high setting with the usual suspect addons; Airports, ORBX, Megascenery, REX & Aircraft etc. But I thought I would come and get a second opinion from you guys. Its come out at £1145 which to be
  22. Happy new year all, Hope its a great one for you.
  23. Evening Gents, Just touched down on Frankfurts Runway 07L and started slowing down when Air traffic control never thought to stop this chap from taxiing onto the active. Thank go ATC aren't this incompetent in real life! I'd normally say this was a happy ending but unfortunately everybody died. The end. Regards, Dan
  24. Hello all, I had been planning a complete system upgrade in January but having a lady in your life tends not to permit it sometimes, I have however though that since I am on XP and have tried running FSX and it didn't do so well, Would upgrading to Windows 7 help it run smoother? I believe that my spec is pretty decent and just doing the OS won't cost much. Just thought I'd run the idea by the smart chaps. Here is the main Spec: Processor: AMD Phenomn II x4 955 3.21GHz RAM: 4GB Video Card: Nvidia GTX260 Hope to hear your opinions. Thanks!
