Yes, but still a very respectable setup. Upgrade may consist of a Z87 MB and an i7 Haswell. The 680 is a nice card. I am new to X-Plane 10 and have jumped in with both feet. The SMP is one of the add-ons I am looking at. Your hardware setup is really nice... what is your monitor configuration? Nvidia Surround? Monitor or Projectors? I really like the scenerey, so monitors (my view) and the flight deck will get equal attention. The clouds in those examples are what I was hoping to be possible with todays X-Plane and hardware combination. John - I haven't read the hardware / software link you posted, but will shortly. Interesting stuff. Thanks for letting me chime-in.

Disregard... found it: http://www.ilmioatelier.com/Alenia%20C-27J%20Spartan.html

I hope your sim is going well... Where can I find the alenia C-27J for XPlane? I found it for FSX, but my sim efforts are with XPlane. Thanks.
