Bonus idea?

Run SmartCopilot and have a "person" in the right seat in case you run long or have a bio emergency.

- Can someone post some text for typical cabin announcements or a link to those?

SOCAL is stand alone. If you don't push your settings too far your frame rate should be quite acceptable. In my case I use low or no autogen. Having said that I thoroughly recommend Global and to a lesser extent Vector. My recent experiences in Western Expansion have shown me very acceptable scener...

Finished my install before seeing the post from dvlourie - I did the driver update first, powered down, removed old card and inserted new. Reboot and zero issues. Getting 30 FPS at KLAX in the IXEG 733 Classic with rendering preset "high" and weather set for CATII minimums. Took off flew t...

I'll do it for sure. I'm going to take some time today and pull some FPS readouts with XP settings for before/after.

Just got a shipping update: it will be here next week, much earlier than I thought. Looks like it's time to disassemble the sim and rebuild it. Maybe clean out some of the nooks and crannies. I really am kind of giddy here - I've never had a video card with more than 1GB of VRAM so this is like Chri...

I just snagged the GTX 1050Ti SC from EVGA for a cheap (?) $150 from Amazon, upgrading from a great GT640 in my current box. Going from 1GB VRAM to 4GB I hope is a game changer on X-Plane and will allow me to (finally) increase the cloud cover from 10% up to something more realistic. The card only d...

I'm so used to life without it I don't know what to think..
