It is here.
Some specs:
-Geforce 7800GT
-1024MB RAM
-AMD ATHLON 64 3500+
-MSI K8N SLI NFORCE 4 CHIPSET BASED MOTHERBOARD
-19 INCH BENQ LCD MONITOR

This is such a revelation to me; im a console gamer and usually play nothing but my xbox and ps2, so I never bothered with a good pc.
Tired of having to land the PMDG 747 with bad frames, I bought this new setup.
Now look, I play everything full settings, full resolution and even in the virtual cockpit of the captainsim C-130 it stays  pretty much invariably constant at 25 frames where Ive decided to lock my framerate. I unlocked it and flew around the default cessna at a healthy 100+ frames.

And it runs Battlefield 2, Battlefield 1942, Half-life 2 etc at full settings without a hitch.

Well enough of the amazement of what im currently going through.

A lot of water shots because I never had water effects before!  Wink

Just taken off
...

All looks nice, this virtual looks amazing at full res
...

Looks like all is good below
...

On approach to Miami for a drop off
...

With a cockpit like this its tempting to do a go around
...

Resisted the temptation. Mission accomplished, enjoy your new ride! Wink
...

Sorry about the quality of these because I havent had the chance yet to install photoshop on the system, been using irfanview for now.
Well hope you like them! (im gonna go fly that wonderful C-130 again! Wink)

Nice shots, and system, though 2 gigs of RAM helps a lot in FS.

By the way, why are you in the FO's seat?

Hehe.. I meant; Why are you flying FO?
I find it impossible to fly FO seat, I misjudge the center of the plane everytime..
