  1. Won`t download this without seeing what we are getting, who knows what kind of virus could be hiding in that zip. Please add some screen shots to help add to the trustworthyness of your intent. Thank you.
  2. What I ment was, its over for now, they must finish building their other Spacehip 2 to be able to continue flight testing. This looks be quite a long long road since Carbon fiber construction is time consuming and exacting. Could be a year or more before it flys again. So sad for the entire team for Virgin Galactic. RIP.
  3. Tried to correct it in edit, they don`t allow topic editing. Sad.
  4. The news for Virgin Galalatic is terrible. The only operating Whiteknight2 vehicle has suffered a serious anomoly during the power up test after release from drop ship. One pilot is dead the other in serious condition. The program is more a less over. With out another aircraft to replace it. http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/virgin-galactics-spaceshiptwo-crashes-during-flight-test http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-29857182 http://video.foxnews.com/v/2553565094001/virgin-galactic-spaceshiptwo-crashes-in-mojave-desert/#sp=watch-live http://news.sky.com/story/1364455/one-dead-as-virgin-galactic-spaceship-crashes
  5. Well this just sucks, found a dead pixal mid screen lower right of center. Sent in my service tag and await Dell to send out my packing slip to send back and get a new one. Thought it might be dirty but scrolling though web sites with white back grounds proved it was a dead pixal, really noticible on a 4k monitor.

  7. First post diggin up a 2 year old topic, what does this tell you. You need to read the topic date before posting and dragging an old topic to today.
  8. Here ya go John. Video is in the processor, could take a couple days. 4k video processing takes forever. http://imgur.com/a/QGLpN

  9. Swiss Alps in 4k. Hang on John, have some killer shots in Skymaxx 2.0 http://imgur.com/a/Kskfa
  10. Same as my 4k monitor, I use the default field of view. Windows does not give up the visual change easy.
  11. Lessons learned with 4k gaming with Win7. Since the screen size is running at 3840x2160 makes looking at the windows screen difficult at best when the icons are so small. Win7 has this nice personalization you can change this from say normal, meaning what you get to 125% and 150%. I set it up at 150% and can final see the icons. And able to work with menus and such. But when you say want to run ROF or X-Plane 10, you must return the windows sizing to default or your ROF will crash and X-Plane you loose menu function control. Took 3 days to get this all figured out. But so far like in 4k on the Computer is beyond AWESOME.
  12. Only Cameron and Colin were able to make it this year, We still all had a good time. http://imgur.com/a/2OKJ2

  13. Having our annual X-Plane weekend here and my new monitor is absolutely stunning the way it makes X-Plane render. Just Amazing to see it this way. http://imgur.com/a/7CZUM
  14. Just checked again, now its Saturday. Still works out great.
  15. Unreal, just checked my tracking # and it will be here tomorrow in time for my annual meeting with my X-Plane buddy`s.
  16. Thanks guys, but had already looked at those options when I was searching for a 4k monitor. Order was placed and shipping # already arrived. Should have it by Thursday next week. Now to figure out what to do with my old wall mounted 42" monitor. Turn it back into a TV like it was suppose to be. Already have 5 of them. Guess I will donate it to my other buildings social room. Get rid of that old dinosaur of a TV that is in there. Going to have to clean up my desk to make this work, need a new home for my printer now to.
  17. Been using a 1080p TV for a monitor the past few years and decided since I have a computer capable of 4K its time to see it. But my old monitor was 42" and now my new one will onl;y be 32" But with 4 times the res of my old 1080p http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=210-ACBL
  18. Made this video before it happened. Tom Curtis designed the the airport and flight test center, Curt Boyll modeled white Knight and SS1. Its a download for 25mb. WMV. http://www.xplanefreeware.net/jim/video/XP7/WMV/X-Prize.wmv This was all done in X-Plane 7. hard to believe been with X-plane since 1999 and 5.54. 15 years.
  19. And so it begins. Robots flying planes ?
  20. I understand, I just wanted to know if you found this feature, I like it for flying in the photoreal mountains personally. Not intended for Youtube.
