    Flight Simulator recommendations

    It boils down to what I said earlier in this tread. You've got to have power but I don't know if you need to go that far about overclocking your CPU and GPU however, I totally agree that you need power for smooth and PLEASANT graphics and sounds. Of course you can run FSX with very basic...

    Flight Simulator recommendations

    In my opinion, how much you will appreciate your experience will not depend only on which software, stick and pedal you will select but also on the heart of the simulator itself, the computer hardware. Couple of years ago, I purchased my first version of FSX. My intention was to experiment with...

I've seen in the past "High End" product which failed to survive long because lack of...

    Piston or Turbine for kit aircraft

    Hi, I'm planning to buy and build a kit helicopter. My mind is pretty much set on a manufacturer or two but I wondering if it would be better to settle for a "piston engine" to start with or "turbine engine". I've read about few guys retrofitting a Solar turbine engine in their RW 162F and...

    Newbie in the Flying Community

    Dear all, To introduce myself, let say that I'm about to stop dreaming and take actions to materialize such dream; building and flying my own aircraft. As a matter of fact, I always had the passion for flying; it is just that I haven't had the time (nor the means) to put ahead such project...
