Jack Sawyer Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 XP Orbx's TrueEarth & EGLC Weather by ASXP xVision Nordic preset Renault's "radioactive trees" mod & his water mod. DreamFoil Bell 407 A quick chopper flight from EGLC to EGKB, Biggin Hill. Also, great news. I was running XP from a USB 3.0 eternal WD 8 TB HDD. I timed it, it would take OVER 15 minutes to get to a flight. So today I bought a new 2 TB SSD and installed it, copied over all X-Plane and all my Orbx stuff. Ran Central to sync it and when I went to fly I timed it. An astounding, mind blowing 1:47 to get to a flight. I couldn't believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Why did I know the helicopter would be yellow? Haven't dipped my toe yet in SSD waters but I do have X plane on a Hybrid and it loads off that fairly fast. Biggin Hill - one of the London defense fields.

Thanks Wain. I saw somewhere here that someone didn't like having to wade through screenshots that didn't interest him as he preferred one sim oner the other. I like both sims so it doesn't bother me. So I'm doing my part to make him happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
