Re: New C172 for Xplane?

Just came out yesterday. I did a stream of it last night and highlighted a portion of it showing off a lot of the details of it. It's an awesome model and is very much A2A like. It is a huge addition for X-Plane.

Re: PMDG DC-6 for X-Plane - Beta stuff

There is one oddity that I am not sure I am a fan of, and that is the panel shake. It is pretty aggressive (only on ground mind you) but the surrounding areas are completely still. I asked and apparently that is intentional. Heavily modeled, even power switches for the added GPS and "modern Ra...

Re: PMDG DC-6 for X-Plane - Beta stuff

Keeping an eye on lomaric's Twitch channel, he is streaming alot (as I post)...absolutely love this plane. Talk about a perfect candidate for SC...lots to do in this one. ....already camped out at the door ready to buy ;) I wasn't sure about it. While the systems are intriguing, the sounds and grap...

Re: Skyvector update, flight plans

I would have to agree with the posters in the SV forums. At first, I thought it was OK, then I realize that it's super broken. I tried to manually build a route from KLAS to KLAX using a direct line first, then added Daggett by dragging. That went fine. Then I added Boulder City to CLARR to get a r...

Now arriving Gate 10.... Gate 11.....

I am thinking the 732 must be jealous of me liking the 727 more than her because whenever I have an accident/incident it happens in the 732.... Barrel roll on short final into KLAS, overrunning 25L at KLAS, and now this event at KLAX..... I think my PIREP for landing into KLAX for tonight is braking...

KPSP RWY closures

I remember Peter telling me in my stream or another persons stream about 13R/31L and 13L/31R both being closed at the same time at Palm Springs. He stated that he didn't how PE would be simulating that if at all. Of course that didn't occur to me today when flying to KPSP until the taxi diagram on F...

Re: How does the iMac 4GB AMD Radeon perform on X-Plane?

Thanks for all the responses. I have a powerful 2012 27" iMac with intel core i7. However, its max vram at the time was NVIDIA GeForce 2GB which is what I have. I wanted to get the 5K with AMD Radeon 4GB but will wait because a new iMac with a faster Graphics Card should be released before the...

Re: How does the iMac 4GB AMD Radeon perform on X-Plane?

Ah, didn't know that all of them were Devil's Canyon. What a waste... From what I hear, either model throttles since the iMac lacks any sufficient cooling. I'll stick with PCs... It's not necessarily the iMac's lack any cooling. Just AMD's are horrible at TDP's. My temps for my Late 2013 27" i...

Re: How does the iMac 4GB AMD Radeon perform on X-Plane?

In general, beware Macs for XP - bad history. Look into it and see if it works for you, but I would want at least an Intel CPU in there (AMD CPUs have problems with XP). Things like resolution, settings, addons, and overall hardware equality all play a factor, so you'll have to tinker. It's not jus...
