Because I want it...that's why. I have the Russian download, so I dont mind waiting for the disc to show up in stores, but would rather have it today than tomorrow. Please stop bumping this thread with silly banter people, its starting to remind me of a grade-school battle of wits! On topic please!!

I currently run an E8500 C2D, and plan to upgrade to a Q9550, which i will overclock the snot out of! The situation is that I will not need to buy a new mobo; and if i did I would make the jump to an i7 920 and overclock that! The prudent thing to do would be get the Phenom II 720 (I hear the are great for OC'ing), but if you cant stand money laying around uselessly, get an X58 mobo and an i7 920, (with ram of course) and if you shop around you could find a package deal... I guess I'm saying decide between the $250 upgrade or the $1000 upgrade and go from there!

Heh he, and... EB: We will call you as soon as it arrives...promise!

Lol!! EB: 'well, is it kinda like CALL oF Duty?' "NO" EB: 'well, have you played Call of Duty...we have a bazillion copies in stock!'

Very NICE!! I cant wait...

You dont need Acceleration per se.... but you will want the newest service pack download if you dont have it!! P.S. I have Vista64bit Ultimate and had no problems getting it too work, but it is not a simple install...you need to follow the instuctions perfectly.

I was simply gobsmacked when I flew over Marble Canyon....:pilotfly: I will make a short vid so you can see more of it, simply fantastic!! Also flew from my current hometown of Chilliwack, BC, Canada and went to Vancouver....my wife has lived here her whole life and she played tour guide, showing me all the landmarks and rivers...then i just handed the controls to her and let her fly for a couple hours...she was flying when i took those screenies over Stanley Park! The downside is that NorthAmerica is covered really well, but other continents not so much...Except big cities and tourist traps! Also, the cars on the highway are pictures, so dont move, but I found if you add some traffic in-game, you dont notice so much that some cars dont move!

You need: #1. FS9, or FSX, FSX Acceleration is preferable for better resolution and gfx. #2. A mid-high range computer, tileproxy works well with quad cores, but my Duo core seems to work fine....of course its OC'd to 4.04ghz! you can run it with a pentium 4, just not at higher res's. #3 A large harddrive... it would probably help to have tileproxy in a partition or spare harddrive... #4 Download Tileproxy Beta 8 and follow instructions here: http://www.edtruthan.com/tileproxy/tutorial/ NOTE: This is a tricky program to get working, and I fluked out whereas it simply worked on my machine... Some people have had problems getting this to run on Vista64bit even when following all instructions.

On second thought, why not try my Proxyuser.ini?! proxyuser.zip P.S. @ Taipan, I could not get your vid to work...would really like to see it!

Just a quick reply, (will post a more detailed reference later) I use service #3, like I stated above...I'm not sure if we're allowed to mention the actual name of the service due to infringement issues, but it rhymes with Wahoo! I have my .ini set for 30cm resolution,(but i think it only uses that if its available in the particular region you are in...and dont forget to set your terrain resolution to 30cm in the FSX options or you will limit yourself there.) My personal tip that I've found is to definately determine what area you are going to fly in first, i.e. RECON. Use this http://www.flashearth.com/. Try to guess what season the sat-images were taken in, (almost always summer/fall in my real life experience) and adjust the season before your flight accordingly. In the distance, before the new tiles are loaded, the default terrain will match a little better, and snowy mountaintops will look twice as good.

So its working, that good!!

Answer me this question: Does the game recognize that you have a Saitek Rudder active? And also: Can you select the Axis Commands from the drop-down list? And: Does your option screen look like my option screen in the picture?

Whoops sorry bad advice!! Dont listen to me, Im on painkillers...I will try to make this as clear as possible!

A picture is worth a thousand words...here:

DO NOT delete all categories in BS but the keyboard... I used the BlackShark ingame options to map the rudder axis to the pedals, make sure no other axis or buttons are mapped to the pedals... You can use both the SST and InGame to map your HOTAS and Pedals... Use in game for all axis, and SST for all buttons and macro's if you want. or you could use the Ingame for everything if you want. ...see picture in next reply!

Re: MOBO http://msicomputer.com/ Apparently the MSI Eclipse SLI is taking home a lot of awards...

Because I WANT THE BOX--OK! lol... Nowhere to be found in Abbotsford or Chilliwack...yet!

I have had astounding success with TileProxy, and will likely spend many hours 'flying' over places i've never been..!! I have had the best performance with service#3, and I bumbed my min up to 9 or 10... Will soon post a video of some amazing places I've explored so far!! For now here are some pics to tease: Vancouver, I live close to here! Marble Canyon Zurich Honalulu

Wow, looks great!! Keep up the good work!

Im using 182.08 here, seems stable, but 182.50 is most recent right now. Im using a GTX260core216

Nice pedals soup, they look strong!

hmm, for squads only? Too bad, I would've liked to test it!

Thanks, got it now... Personally I use mediafire.com... havent got any complaints!

Hmm,. i cant download...

I like the skin; not a fan of the tail decal tho...
