Things back to normal for me.........keep your video cards clean!!!!!!
My sim kept freezing up. I thought my video card crapped out.........but, no.
A family of dust bunnies took up residence in between the heat sink fins and blocked the airflow.
From the outside everything looked fine. The fan was running normally and I couldnt see any dust.
Then I took the video card out and disassembled the fan shroud/heat sink cover.... Shocked

There was a ton of crud.......my grandma would have said "You could grow a potato in there"

I cleaned it up and it's good as new Cool

Anyway here's some shots Wink

Thanks 4 looking

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Doug, if I clean my room, how will I know where anything is Huh

Greg, if we do, she never mentioned you Huh

I think all grandmas know that saying Wink

Pierre, it's somewhere in the Tongass Fjords scenery......I lose track of where I am when I fly there, there are so many awesome locations Cool

Superb shots Chuck.

Where did you get the paint for the Kodiak?

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
