    EVGA RTX 3060 12 GB VRAM for MSRP

    in Hardware and Tech Talk

    Posted

    Man, I've been in their "Notification" program for a 3080 Ti since they started it last year (it was then for the 3080, but they moved me to the 3080Ti notify zone when they started making those). I STILL haven't gotten anything from them. I was an EVGA fanboy for the longest time too, many many years. But now, not so much. Of course their motherboards are always out of stock anymore, their GPU's obviously, but for me, being a loyal customer for a long time and in their notification system for a long time as well, I've got nothing to show for it now. I have since started using other brands that actually have stock. 

     

    Glad to hear that someone got one from that system though. Enjoy! :)

    And many happy returns from me mate - in the spirit of Gerold's sci-fi greeting:  may I say nanu-nanu to you as well :D

     Thanks Landon, got a A2A B17G I'm working on, had it a while but never started the learning process, actually I was surprised, not as complicated as I thought. Watch this space:D

    Oh Don, I love me some A2A B-17G...I have flown many hours in that bird in FSX but I have NOT gotten it for P3D...yet....I have every other A2A bird that they upgraded for P3D, but the B-17 was the last one and I have been procrastinating on getting her. I need to change that ;) 

     

    I will look forward in earnest to your coming screenshots :D

    Nice tour. Looks not as windy as propsed, Landon.

    If we had no Corona, wifey and me would have visited the town last May. I mean, the May before last may. How lockdown times pass by...

    Yes, some day Gerold. You and the wife ,of course, are always welcome to stop by Colorado for a visit when you are able to travel again. I always have a guest room and bathroom ready and prepped for visitors :)

    Concerned About Direction Orbx is Heading

    Landon, my post was not aiming at you or all the others who clearly stated their sentiments and/or said what they do not like about the newer Orbx products. I was only asking the few posters who are saying Orbx does not provide the same high quality any more like it did a few years ago but do not state why they do not like the new Orbx products.

    Since I absolutely dislike the fact that complaining about everything and anything becomes more and more popular nowadays, my wording was probably a bit too harsh. I do appologize for this.

    And BTW, Happy Birthday Landon! :D

    Thanks for clearing the air Wolfgang, I appreciate that. Like I said, I have always appreciated our virtual sim friendship for years since we both found Orbx scenery. I also can understand your frustration, as I have seen that type of complaining across the board across all platforms be it the P3D vs. FSX crowd, or the P3D vs. XP crowd, or low and slow crowd vs. the tubeliner crowd or the Star Trek vs Star Wars crowd etc, etc. etc...anyhow, all is good and thanks for the birthday wishes too :)

    Quick tour of downtown Chicago

    Just a short exploratory flight over downtown Chicago after taking off from KPWK Chicago Executive in my Cessa C140 in MSFS. Chicago Landmarks scenery by Drzewiecki Design, KPWK Chicago Executive by FlightFX and the Cessna C140 by Aeroplane Heaven.

     

    Approaching downtown Chicago after flying from KPWK. Some low clouds as we get close.

    Out over Lake Michigan, headed back over the city, into the evening sun.

    Flying over the Windy City and checking out the view looking straight down into the sea of tall buildings.

    And after checking out what used to be the venerable Meigs Field, we turn the C140 back to the north to head back to Chicago Executive as it's getting late and more cloudy, and no VOR/OBI or GPS installed in this particular Cessna.

    And, we have made it back to KPWK Chicago Executive and time to bring this little bird down safely, park and go find a local pub for a birthday drink or two :)

    Thank you all for coming along on my little flight...cheers!

    A very happy Birthday, Trekkie. If I might call you like this, with all your fantastic outdoor reports (and probably plans)...

    Sure Gerold, you can call me that if you like....plus, I am both a Star Trek and Star Wars fan, so it works there too. And yes, soon, very soon, ski season will be upon us here in Colorado and I shall be enjoying the winter mountains! Can't wait!
