It was a very fun flight and had some great views with all the weather changes flying through and around the mountains to get to the destination, including snow and ice. It also had a few less than relaxing problems to deal with going over the mountains in wind changes and visibility. All in all, with the way that aircraft handles, it made the entire experience a lot of fun because as Brett said, you are getting very highly realistic flight dynamics with that model.



As for screenshot tricks, one of them is to use a much higher res monitor or scale than the screenshot itself. In my case my monitor runs a native 1920x1200 so I don't have to boost it however some people fly at 1280x1024 but their CRT or TFT may be able to do, say 1600x1200. Higher resolutions on slower video cards with low memory can make the sim run slow and because of that flying at higher resolution may not be optimal but for screenshots you can raise the resolution and the resulting image will contain quite a bit more information, meaning when it is reduced there is significantly less loss, a much more detailed shot and compression does not take anywhere near as much of a toll on the quality.

That is how images can start to take on the characteristics of a photo. Reducing an images loaded with data will result in a smaller image with defined detail.


On a performance note, the better video cards should be run on higher resolution because if you don

I have several systems but that one was on a QX6700 quad running 3.6gig clocked, DDR3 memory running 720Mhz (DDR3 1440) and tight 6-7-6- 15 1T

Simply Stunning!

[center]Enough mess'in around with this hardware. Its time for me to go shopping

It does not take a 1000 dollar processor and expensive memory to get those results but it does take a certain grade and level of CPU/memory on an expenisve video card and the right FSX.cfg tweaks to do it. that and the right monitor to ensure the card ability is also unleashed.

I would think that being an electrical engineer would give you a slight advantage, Nick! Of course, being computer-savvy doesn't hurt either.
