What are your specs? 

 

Why people needs to Quote the Screenshots ? 

 

Its not more easy and Forum friendly ask, Mr kaosfere What are your systems specs for the screenshots in your post No. 4754 ?

 

Of course Mr kaosfere screenshots are great but we dont need to see them again 2 post behind.

I'm sorry, I hope I didn't cause you too much emotional grief because I made one post asking about his screenshots.  :)

Oh hey, I thought I had that in my signature here, but I guess I didn't.   I've added that.   But to reply directly, I'm running an i7-3770k overclocked to 4.4GHz (water-cooled), a factory-overclocked 4GB GTX 770 (I don't recall the overclock factor, but it's not all that much), and 16GB of nothing fancy RAM.   X-Plane data is stored on an SSD;  I just upgraded to a 512GB Crucial MX100.   I have two monitors, but I only run X-Plane on one, with the other reserved for EFASS full-screen.   I'd like to increase my monitor count, but I like my pretties more than I need the additional real-estate, and I can't afford to upgrade to the monster card it would take to run the simulator across multiple panels with that level of detail. :)

Very cool. Given your GPU, I can now see how you're able to have such incredible realism. I'm doing the same thing with my two monitors because it's a bit tough to get X-Plane to look good in the middle where the monitors split. Much easier to just display EFASS on the side.  :) 

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure It wasn't the asking, it was including his screenshots in your quote, which means twice the data download. You can quote his post (so he gets the notification) but not include the screenshots themselves.

Not to extend the discussion -- or dispute the point, which is a good one in general -- but since I'm kind of an anal IT nerd who's worked with such things in his career in the past:  I believe that on any modern browser you wouldn't have a double download, at least if the images are on the same page.  (I don't care enough to open the debug console in Chrome and trace it while I'm at work. :) )   Even if they're spread across pages, if you load one, and then the next, as long as the web server presenting the data handles last-modified times correctly, your browser should send its request with an "If-Modified-Since" HTTP header and be told by the remote server with a response code 304 that the file hasn't changed and it should use its local cache.

 

But enough of that... back to the airplane porn!

 

 

Edit:  OK, I lied.  I opened Chrome's developer console and tested both cases.   Reloading the page with my original post and the quoted post only showed one request to imgur for each picture, and each time I properly got a 304 Not Modified response.  With a cleared cache and another reload, there was a request with no modification time and a 200 response, but again no second request -- the browser properly presented the same resource both times without redownloading.   Regardless, those are just technical details.  I'll stop being a nerd now.   Sorry!

Yep thought so, when I ran my own forum I wanted to make sure it wouldn't make another request before implementing certain rules for users of the forum. Thanks for proving a point nonetheless.  ;) 

Back to the airplanes...

Arriving at 8:00am to set up BAW1459 for an 8:30 departure. Perfect opportunity to see the sunrise and night lighting in X-Plane. 


 


As it was a winters morning in Edinburgh it really was cold and dark!

in your first picture, in the bottom left corner it said 'hot start'. How did you get that?
