I think I lost some feathers in the clouds. Glad you liked them Martyn. I'd like to try this same route in three planes, the A320, 717, and 737. The airports are the right length for these jets and it's around 230 miles. Actually a lot shorter distance than I thought almost north to south across Spain.

I have done this flight in a freeware A320 out of LEBL and I found it a most enjoyable trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 NIce shots @JackSawyer That Bilbao seems very nice too. May I ask something? I have the impression you said you got a new computer... Would you mind sharing your hardware configuration? The lool of your shots are amazing I'm currently suffering: Slow texture to load Freezing for seconds If paused when play again the sound is gone and then makes a strange sound and crashes If textures are blurry and I refresh my pmdg gets hald levery and then crashes The flying seems like it wants to stop, I mean the frame rates tend to be slow or the image "jumps" So I'm starting to suspect that my hardware could have suffered a damage. Electricity goes here very often and everything shuts down with an awful sound (having bought yet a ups) and the computer usually blocks to prevent damages and have to do the F1 stuff etc. But thinking in investiing I would like a sort of best harware recommendations for P3D This is what I have 2T Hard disk i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40 ghz Ram 8 gigas 64 bit windows Motherboard ASUS GeForce GTX 1050 (just realized there is a new controller by checking this info, downloading, hopes it improves) I think the equipment isn't that bad, is it? Hope you don't mind me asking so Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked using the G1000 to make a GPS approach and it transitioned to ILS, disconnect the A/P and made a nice landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
