    Welcome to the site! I'm impressed with the accuracy and detail in some of that. The DHL chopper at Wall Street, the HSBC ads on the jetways, Belmont raceway seen from the air. Nice stuff.

    Wow that's certainly more detailed than my FS9! But then again that was always a criticism of that release, that it was too focused on eye-candy(not that that's a bad thing)

    Orbx is the definition of eye-candy:

    They have trees with falling leaves, people who walk around, atmospheric sounds effects, and lots of other incredible details. Just wish they would get to East coast sceneries soon

    I'm running Orbx scenery at 4080x768 spanned across 3 monitors, on a $450 Quad Core, with $60 graphics card at between 25-80fps. If you just want to do 1 monitor, you might not really need to spend a lot to have a nice FSX system :)

    Thanks a lot for watching everyone ... just a tip ... FSX doesn't support dual video cards, it only uses one and FSX is known to use more CPU than GPU. :)

    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    The beehive hummm of the JT9D and GE CF680C2,the thunder of the JT8D-17,the rumble of the PW1830 and the high ,thin whine of the PW 545A are all music to my ears!
