  1. Been a bit too busy to fly in X-Plane as much as I'd like to but will nonetheless definitely be buying this gorgeous bird. Congrats on the perseverance and the amazing work, gents.

    Why I fly

    They definitely are. Got any pictures from your trip? I recently completed another one from Atlanta to Chicago. I flew the trip with Ted Turner's chief pilot. It's amazing the new skills and tactics you can learn from very experienced pilots.

    Why I fly

    Couldn't agree more. Sharing the love of aviation is truly one of the most rewarding experiences in aviation. My girlfriend was hooked after our first flight (which was on our 4th date... ) and now she's slowly learning how to fly! Hoping to get her to fly me around soon! She learned my passion quickly after seeing how much I'd light up any instance I saw a plane around. Low level circuits are always fun! I got very lucky this year and managed to score a ferry flight from Florida to California and back in a 172 in 6 days. We flew about 4000 miles and I ended up with around 50 hours. Absolutely amazing to see all the different sights you see when you travel such an extended distance. Pics below.

    Enjoying the beautiful Florida weather...
  6. Thank you very much, I greatly appreciate the kind words. It's taken so much tweaking to make sure it ran smoothly with the best graphic settings!
  7. Picked up the 172 from Airfoil labs to study my a bit more in depth for my CPL inflight exam.
  8. I feel as if lately, I've only been flying the A330.
  9. On the ramp at LOWI Early start out of LSZH
  10. Thanks! Definitely worth the price.
  11. Pulled the plug and bought the Jar Designs A330. Absolutely love it.
  12. Thanks, John. You've truly created an amazing plugin for X-Plane. Here's a few more:
  13. Redbull AS350 over the French Alps & Air France A320 over Nantes.
  14. Air France A380 preparing for departure from New York KFJK
  15. Finally received my new GPU and PSU. Running nearly everything on high with very smooth results. A340 and 777 in Paris.

    New GPU

    Thanks for the feedback! I think the CPU is going to be changing before the end of the month... Olivier

    New GPU

    For a few months I've been contemplating picking up a new GPU and PSU for my desktop that runs XP. Unfortunately, my current PSU was only 460w so it wouldn't run anything higher than my current AMD 6850 with 1gb of vram. Yesterday I picked up a new 750w Thermaltake PSU and I also ordered a new XFX R9 290x with 4gb of Vram. Although it's a relatively newer card, does anyone here use it in their setup? I'd be curious to see the results they're getting. My goal isn't really to max out XP. Just to gain some FPS on top of increased details. Current setup is: Intel Core I7 2600 @ 3.4Ghz, AMD Radeon HD6850 with 1GB DDR5 Vram, 10GB DDR3 RAM, 1.5TB HDD. Olivier C.
