I loaded up an ARFF truck at KGLA to do a bit of plane spotting so I could see PSXseecon in action. So far everything is working, I'm getting traffic (Lots of traffic!) and it looks down right cool! The one oddity I noticed is that I have Pink Checkered Liveries though as I move closer or the […]

Testing the new performance update.
AI controlled flight through some rough weather, lots of clouds, some icing, etc. Maintained an average of 55-60FPS. I'd say the performance update did what it promised. Settings at High and Ultra on an Intel i9 with 128Gb RAM, dual RTX2080 GPU. To be fair, the "landing" wasn't my doing. […]

I'm dialing in the settings on my FlightSim Rig. I'm still chasing the holy grail for FPS, right now I hover around 30 with drops to 20 on busier airports. I think I will play with the associated programs and see what I can offload to another PC. My Specs: * CybertronPC - CLX SET Desktop * Core […]

Vesa Camera Tripod TV Mount
I mentioned a FlightSim Nav PC. It is not in the above post because I'm still building prepping it. Big thing is the mounting of the TV. I didn't want to spend a couple hundred bucks on a special tripod to mount a monitor/tv so I got a cheaper camera tripod from Best Buy, found a quick release […]

Up and running finally.
Saturday, October 27 2018. FlightSim
I FINALLY got my set up configured and working to the point where I can complete a flight. It's been rough configuring the controls with X-Plane 11, P3Dv4 and Spad.Next. But I seem to have the right profiles dialed in Made a very wet flight from Norman, OK (KOUN) to Austin, TX (KAUS). Great view of […]

Long Time Gone ...
Friday, July 27 2018. FlightSim
Yes it's been a while. A lot has gone on around here. We moved into a new house, now I have a dedicated space for my Office/Den and can set up my Flight Sim stuff. I even bought a third 27" monitor and mount so I now have a three screen surround display. I should be able to get back to flying […]

My WheelStand Pro came in today. The first step in my home "cockpit", space is at a premium in the apartment so I have to go with a small portable solution for right now. So far I'm imressed with the construction, built pretty solid and stable. The adjustment latches are easy to […]

Juggling
We bought a new computer and laptop and did some desk juggling. I'm moving from an HP i7 Laptop to an Asus I7 Tower with 64GB of RAM and 8GB of video memory on an Nvidia GTX1080 Video card. Should run FSX,P3D and X-Plane 11 quite nicely. Also picked up an HTC Vive VR set. That combined with the […]

Back into FlightSim
Sunday, December 3 2017. FlightSim
I've rebuilt my laptop and got a new mini-desk so I should be able to get back into the FlightSim scene. All that's left to do is install all the software and unpack my controls. Nikki shouldn't mind me Sim'ing in the living room, I don't think. *shrug* It's been forever since I've flown, in real […]
