Whenever I book a flight I like to 'fly' the route myself.

Just arrived at Tenerife South on a flight from MAD :geek: Need to get some fuel.



Take no notice of the German TUIfly that has just smashed into an Enter Air 737 :wideyed:



Mount Teide shrouded in mist and fog as always :whistle:



Monarch will always be in my fantasy airline world going back to BHX, Jet2 to LBA and TCX to MAN :geek:
Back to MAD

 
A sombre day. I hate to lower the tone but I have tried to find a Flight Sim. thread as I have a query and I hope to get some advice from users.

I have to change my desktop PC since XP no longer functions. I have a Windows 10 desktop ready to take over and was planning on getting X Plane 10 or 11 but I do not have the physical and/or mental stamina get get involved with software engineering. Furthermore the Saitek Yoke and control quadrant is appealing as using a keyboard is problematic for me given significant disabilities.

If any forum simmer's have any advice, I would welcome it before I expend limited funds. I currently use MS FLIGHT SIMULATOR X Deluxe Edition, with World Airports and a PANAVIA TORNADO add-on. This is before XP became unusable.

I tried EBay for unwanted hardware re. Flight deck controls. No luck there but plenty of Herpa 500 models, I await delivery of A380 of Emirates to join my expanding fleet. Thank you folks
 
BUMP!

Greetings to all with apologies if this ground has been covered.

I am in the market for a desktop fit for purpose of running flightsims and associated peripherals. I looked at retail availability but not up to standard.

Microsoft recommend a 16 gig RAM and DirectX 11 and Win10.

Any thoughts or info on people that can build a platform? Ebay have possibilities as do Amazon but before I commit funds, I would welcome suggestions.

Thank You.
 
Hi Jenny both Wired2Fire and Chillblast make PC's especially for flight simulation. Before I started building my own PC's, I bought one from Chillblast and have to say I was very impressed (e.g. internal cabling was well routed leaving a clear path for cooling airflow). Whilst both companies websites show a range of products and price ranges, each product can be altered if for example you wished to increase the amount of RAM.
Both companies are also regularly reviewed in PCPilot magazine.



Hope that's of some help.

Okay, I have looked at those builders and choked on my supper at the prices. However, armed with gained intelligence, I ventured to the Dell outlet store and found a matching machine and if required, shall upgrade components if performance does not match expectations. Excellent prices as I have two Dell machines, one as reserve ( unused as yet, still boxed ) and excellent value. Just need to find a simulation, xplane or MS.

Many thanks to Kevin for assistance!
 
Dell will allow you to build your PC to the required spec if you're wanting a cheaper alternative.

All checked in for my flight to Sydney from Manchester via Heathrow. Been waiting for this trip for nearly a year and now tomorrow I'll finally head to Australia and New Zealand!

survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 3rd time. Now it looks likely I will get to cover work for 2 other teams.. Pretty please for a payrise? That would be a no and so stay on the min wage.
Live in Market Bosworth and take each day as it comes......
Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.
15 years at the same company was reached the weekend before last. Not sure how they will mark the occasion apart from the compulsory payirse to minimum wage (1st rise for 2 years; i was 15% above it back then!)
