Classic British Flight Sim

I use P3Dv3 on an alienware laptop. Of course its got a quad core i7, 24GB of ram and a pretty heavy duty video card w 2GB of ram. Only wish now I had gotten the bigger 8gb video card instead of the 2gb and the bottom does get pretty hot. Overall I have no problems. I have had stability problems wit...

Great series Peter, makes me jealous I don't have the time to do something similar.

Many larger laptops have slots for two drives. I have a 17" alienware and it came with a 240gb SSD and a 750GB 7200rpm. I have since replaced the 750GB drive with a 2TB drive that spins at 5400 rpm. I have my sims installed on the larger disks where they have space for all those big scenery fil...

That looks nasty, and I would have shared your panic on seeing that. Glad to hear mrs airspeed is not seriously hurt. Take good care of her.

Someone on the JustFlight forum said you had to use this switch to enable heading and or navigation mode. http://i.imgur.com/CPtM1y2.png It sort of worked in HDG mode but when I flipped the NAV/GPS switch to GPS and the autopilot to NAV/LOC nothing, put the little switch into N/L mode and the aircra...

Good luck and speedy recovery. And I do hope the machine that goes 'ping' is working correctly.

I got her and took her up for my first flight. biggest problem I had was figuring out the autopilot, which to me does not seem to work, initially could get the climb working but could not get her to turn on autopilot, both using heading mode or nav/loc mode.

Bought new computer. It is 2.6-3.5 GHz Intel Core i7-6700HQ Quad-Core Skylake sixth generation, 16GB ram, 6 GB dedicated Nivida GT1080 video ram, 1 TB hard drive at 7,200 rpm, 260 GB SSD hard drive, internal DVD drive, and 15.6 inch screen. Will take me time to install FSX and all add-ons!! Agree w...

Can't comment on the models listed, but do pay attention to the video card installed, while FS9 and FSX are more CPU bound, newer sims like P3D and probably the upcoming dovetail sim rely more on the graphics processor for performance.

I for one will be buying it, looking forward to a 1-11 in P3D. If nothing else want to do my part to keep the market for these classic airliners alive.
