    Kenny, You're correct...That's XPlane 10 running at 4.7 ghz overclocked. I have it running on some pretty nice settings!
    Jason, Try XPlane 10, theres a 32 and 64 bit version when you install!

    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    Yupp! I thought people were kidding when they said that there is no desktop computer that can run Xplane 10 on max settings. I'm going to post a video later!

    I know a flight sim takes a lot of processing power, as do intensive graphics, but come on! It's just sloppy coding if that configuration can't do it. Look what they used to be able to do w/ 8-bits & 64K of RAM back in the day....

    After many months of tweaking, X-plane 10 is starting to meet my expectations graphics wise. The blue haze is a new atmospheric scattering effect that many other simmers are fooling around with... Feel free to ask any questions!

    Jared, I think you need to start saving up for one of those Cray supercomputers that can handle several petaflops per second- then you will be able to max out X-Plane

    On a Flight Sim note, I'm fully immersed in my latest FS9 addon, PMDG's 747-400. The bundled liveries aren't all that but fortunately you can download additional free liveries from their website. It's extremely involved with a functioning FMC(that I am failing to master), and the flight model is amazing. But, I did fly the 13L approach in the British Airways example 2 weeks ago and managed to set it down properly in front of the triple hangars- too bad nobody was at T5 to capture it

    Awesome stuff! I just put X-Plane 9 on my Macbook. It is okay, but I miss FS9. I will run boot camp and install Windows 7. I know my Mac won't run FSX, but it should handle FS 2004 with no issues. I find the flight mechanics and controls of X-Plane to be too stiff. Plus, FS9 is 10 years old and you can still get awesome scenery packages and awesome aircraft.
