  1. The cloud! It's about to swallow your plane whole! I see a movie here...maybe your plane goes into that cloud, and comes out in another time. OR, maybe, some dimensional door and you pop out on the other side of the globe. Oh, sorry, imagination getting carried away. A very nice image here
  2. Filou, it seem you are really absorbing yourself in this platform. Isn't that what simming is all about? So cool! A nice bunch of good looking images here and the TE scenery really shines.
  3. Really cool stuff here with these images Paul, lot's going on in them. One thing I appreciate about the Lord Howe Island scenery is how short and challenging that little runway is. It has taken me several approaches and LOTS of running off the end of the runway before I finally feel comfortable about landing there. And you better do it with the right plane! Tricky little bugger
  4. Well, looks like a nice approach setup
  5. Oh yes, I am aware of a LOT of the deep and long history.
  6. Wonderful images Paul. I always hope the best for Kosovo. I was deployed there for a year there on a UN Peacekeeping mission in the late 90's, and the country was in a rough shape then. The people seemed very hardy though, and I feel like they would be able to rebuild their country well as the years moved forward. Some beautiful terrain in that country and nice to see these airport images, as the real location was a bombed out shambles when I was there.
  7. Nice big iron images here Bernd. Those clouds were looking rather menacing in flight too
  8. Really cool images going on here Paul! The GosHawk looks great in these, and I simply love that first shot. Sets the whole tone
  9. Some amazing looking and very atmospheric images here Filou.
  10. Some very good looking images T! Nice way to show off this new little airfield.
  11. Very nice spread of Canadian images here. Always enjoy seeing that livery too
  12. It happens to the best of us Paul Best thing to do is just embrace it and own it
  13. I really nice bunch of images here Don. And good ole Irish luck looks like it worked out well for you
  14. Same with me Wayne, same with me. I am constantly tracking shipments, looking out my window etc. Like a kid indeed May I suggest when the new system does arrive Don, savor in the moment, take your time unboxing, and patience is the watch word when setting up. It's all too easy to click on a window during the setup phase and then after, thinking, what did that say?
  15. Don, sorry if you've been waiting on me to chime in here. I say "Pull the trigger and buy it!". I think you have set it up well with all of the comments from this whole thread. If you've already bought it, well then, I can't wait to hear how great it is for you when you get it and have it all set up at home And no worries, I don't mind helping peeps on here when I can assist them. I am excited for you! Cheers! Landon
  16. That is a much better build Paul, BUT, the biggest problem is the case. If you Google the case, you will find that is a tempered glass case with only a very small strip of front ventilation and no side ventilation. There does not appear to be any bottom ventilation either, although the top is nicely ventilated. And, as you pointed out, there are no case fans whatsoever included, so Don would have to have those added. But, the storage options are much better as is the motherboard selection. And, you kept the price within his range still too. If we could just find the right system build with a good case for him, we would be golden. We keep tap dancing around the final answer
  17. @renault You are not off the range with that thought at all Pete. A 750w PSU would be what I would consider the bare minimum for that build, but I personally would feel much more comfortable with an 850w PSU. The 750 does not allow for much headroom at all to upgrade the video card at a later date, or if you start adding other components (more fans, storage options) than you could could get real close to using all of the 750w capacity up and not leaving much room for spikes, which DO happen. Just something to consider. Landon
  18. @paulb I believe the last two systems Don posted for us to look at were from that same company Paul, so I do think he is aware of them. But, I don't want to speak for Don, so I'll let him confirm. And speaking of, of those last two systems Don had us look at from Alliance, the 5800X3D system still looks the best of these options listed in this thread. The one you linked is close, but there are a few things I don't like about it that the OTHER 5800X3D system from Alliance that Don posted has. Specifically, I am not a fan of the B550M motherboard, and it also has no NVMe M.2 drives, and instead includes a SATA drive. Admittedly, a nice large one, but still a SATA drive. As I mentioned to Don somewhere above, I think it better to go with an NVMe drive in the system to put MSFS on, and then a large capacity SSD for Windows and other storage and apps. And then, if more storage is required, you can always add an external SATA USB drive if needed (or more SSD's or another NVMe drive). The earlier Alliance 5800X3D system that Don linked has all of that, plus a better motherboard. Just some things I noticed Got to commend your effort though, looking for a vendor local to Don and setting up a possible system. Super good of you!
  19. It's all good Iain, I have those moments a lot, and I have yet to join the senior club
  20. Way cool images Paul, and great homage to the history of the USS Lexington. A nice fitting flight in the sim
  21. Nothing wrong with that at all, Paul
  22. I agree, this location would be great have in MSFS developed by Orbx. We can hope and wish In the mean time, I will enjoy these fine images.
  23. He sure is Paul! Wow Carlos, bunches and bunches of great looking images here.
  24. Move movie worthy images Paul. Go find those bandits!
  25. Wow Carlos, what a crazy whole bunch of great looking images! You have quite a collection in this thread alone. Nice shots all!
