I then spent $3000.00 on an EVGA 1080 8 gb card and an Asus PG348Q 3440 x 1440 res 34" Ultra Widescreen because, being me and knowing me, I'd only fritter it away on bills .I had to tell you that, to tell you this. If you are on the cusp of selling one of your children for scientific experimentation, do it to get this combination. Flight simulators are made for this 21.9 format. After using the monitor for a week and I'm only concerned with flight simulators, EVERYTHING is transformed. You people probably have some excellent hardware, monitors etc and I respect that. However, the 21.9 format adds peripheral areas to fill more of your vision. The immersion is 4 fold. At the resolution of 3440 x 1440 and a 100 hz refresh rate, until you have one, you can't know, so if you want to transform all of your flight sims (X-Plane looks amazing) I recommend you go this route.

Thank everyone for the clarification. During this discussion and some poking around the net, i just realized that we are talking abot 2 different processes concerning possible weather requests into the machines. 1. Fetching weather - Weather data for calculations The first is related to (complex) forecasts, where weather is requested and injected in probably a lot of calculations (descend, cruise, alternate calc...) I think most of you reffered to this point, because i misleadingly posted a that screenshot. 2. Fetching weather - METAR data (ACARS) The second is related to ACARS only, which have nothing to do wit any calculations. This is simply grabing METAR data and presenting them on the screen of the CDU/FMC.... Besides the METAR, ATIS seemes to be a common data thats fetched via ACARS?! I know that this things (esp. ATIS) are of a low priority. I think we all can understand that. But having (one day) especially the METAR fetching routine within a ACARS section in the IXEG 737 would make at least the PilotEdge/IVAO/VATSIM simmer pretty happy. I would expect the effort of fetching and presenting METARs should not to be that huge. I am quite surprised why this ACARS functions have never made theire way into a FSX/P3D/X-Plane cockpit (afaik). Thank you

Something different for a change

Descend... Landing... And taxi!

Wow, beautiful shots @Defiance_co!!

Fell lucky again ......... LOWI Tony

...Gizmo update soon too. Might resolve some of the weird bugs we've seen. She's an old project and there's some dusty corners.

Messing around the Alps Messing with RTH+SMP 3.3.1+RWC and also Realistic Sky Colors Messing with new plane lol

LOWS to LFMN ...

Sitting on the apron at Warsaw, Poland after arrival from Bucharest, Romania Cockpit ready for turnaround One of the last summer days here in Poland, +30c at ground level results in some nice CB buildups during climb On my way to Salzburg, Austria! And some more cockpit porn! ;]

KPHX from FL263 enjoy

Some where between lost and found. Still good lookin plane Dion

Really liking this aircraft. Fitting that one of the paints looked real close to the San Diego Chargers American Football Team Colors. So I had to add the Charger Shield Horse on the door and show it off. Shot was taking at KSAN. About to take it out for spin after 4th of July family dinner which consist of Hamburgers on the barbie Pie Chips, dip and Watermelon. Yummy!!!!!!. Oh while we eat dinner we watch 1996 Independence day, not the new one. Cheers Dion

Another battle with the SSG 747-8i Slowly getting there Have Fun Tony

Trying to get the best shot but the sun is at the wrong angle. I tried Dion

Happy 4th

Took the R66 for flight over the canyons of Molokai.

Departing from EPWA Approaching LOWS On LOC/GS for RWY 15

Hiya's, Came across a nice livery for the SSG 747-8i Of course ......... Up The Irons Tony

A helo trip in gale force winds at jfk, stick config setup for the ixeg, never again lol I was like a fly in a wind tunnel !! To cap it off, a trip in a Phantom Tony

Hiya, Lol, well the 1080 is 'thicker' than my older gpu, girth n all that Sim's been running since my son and grandson turned up dinnertime, not had any windows errors so far today after 3.5hrs of it running Anyways, some pics, freebie Airbus and ole Classic ps : you get B5 installed ? that's what i'm running today Take Care Tony

10.50 B5a out now Dion Some simple pics Hoping i'm getting a stable rig back again lol Who'd of thought ati to nvidia would be such a pita Doing a 737 classic test flight taking in as much scenery as i can to test for stability in x-plane/gpu/nvidia control panel grrrrrrrrrrr Tony ps : Dion, i left rig on uploading large vids to YT, i used the Stock Cessna around NY, wokeup to the uploader hanging grrrrrrrrrrr, might try later
