Ok.. got the GEX installed.. Good stuff

I fly mostly in rural areas, so to get the full effect I had to get out of winter, and see it flying summer. I can't put my finger on it, but everything just feels more "real".. it's a very good investment

I'll try the FEX later... after I play with this for a while...

Thanks !

That was the idea... Aces said "as real as it gets"... I just made sure it followed that claim

You will find surprises in how things look everywhere now.. you will see the light and shadow responds differently than default and you will notice things like swimming pools lit up at night.. try night flying, it will blow you away

also, the LANDCLASS products such as SceneryTech North America, FSGenesis USA, Xclass USA, etc... will CHANGE things too. Landclass files tell the sim what classification of earth is under you as as such they add the little one-horse towns, vegetation, and other things the default landclass may miss

If you are into VFR, the addon UTX add more.. real roads which are exact to their real world counterparts and industrials along with urbans the default does not display

GEXn is designed to work with all of those add-ons and I am developing a patch right now which upgrades UTX to GEXn standards for visuals too.

Have fun my friend!

Hey Brett, I have to recommend FSGenesis and UTX (both, UTX for Urban, FSG for vegitation). I tried Xclass, and it really didn't fit quite right.

Also, I've got the Q6600 overclocked to 3.0 GHz also and really never go over 50°C. I had it up to 3.6 GHz, but I didn't take the time get the voltages set for a stable set-up, but still, I didn't get over 60-65°C. I've got the Zalman CNPS 9500 and the XClio Wind Tunnel case (those two big fans probably help a bit). From what you're explaining, it seems I have the same types of issues with one core taking most of the workload, and the other three not doing so much.

Mobius, does the CPNS 9500 require a backplate?

As in something behind the motherboard? I don't think it did, but I can't exactly remember.

Every Zalman fan I looked at has the back-plate. I ended up taking a Dremel-tool and carving little notches where the back-plate met little capacitors. AND I had to shave a little metal off of the spring-loaded, retaining clip to get it to fit on my nVidia 780sli motherboard.

After a re-greasing (or two).. I've got my Q6600 at 3.0ghz, stable and cool Cool

I'm just struggling now, with nVidia driver issues on certain planes for the 8800GTS(g92)512mb... Roll Eyes
