Somehow I got fired up

Noticed that the engine had stopped on my Beaver.

Restarted the engine and extinguished the flames.

Landing at AYMH, Flight 8. The runway at AYMH is in a depression in FSX
Steve, if you have a screen shot of AYMH I would like to see if the runway is
in a depression in your sim.
Also, on flight 10 check out Yam Island. In FSX the runway splits the mountain
and ends at a cliff. How about your sim?

Hi Allen

I have just flown Legs 7 & 8 and have pictures for you regarding AYMH. When I complete Leg 10 I will advise and show about Yam Island.

I am fortunate and blessed to have and fly 2 sims. I was not able to re-load FSX on my Windows 10 computer after an update so I was forced to get something newer.

The first two screenshots are in Lockheed Martin P3D, and the last two are from X-Plane 11. No depressions on either one.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the screenies. I expected that there would be no depression. When flying leg 8 back in March '19 I saw screen shots of AYMH that showed no depression but I never knew what sims were used.
I expect Yam Island to show a nice little island with a runway down the middle, no mountain.
I also have X-plane 11 but my computer at that time could barely get 20 fps with all the sliders down. Last fall I got a newer mother board with 8 Gig RAM and a 6 core CPU (not the I series).
Now I can get 22-25 fps in the Cessna as long as I don't fly in a "busy" area like Seattle. The scenery at AYMH looks a lot like your screen shot.
So maybe I'll have to learn how to fly X-plane again.

This is how AYMH looks in my X-plane 11. I'm getting 25 fps. What fps do you get in your sims?
Allen

[Allen Peterson]

I decided to fly the Cessna from AYDU to Yam Island and walla, no mountain or cliff!
FSX just gives an extra challenge. I was getting 30 fps over the ocean, which is about
the best I can get.

Hi Allen
My FPS? Here is the rundown.

First - my PC specs
Intel I7 7700K, 4GHZ (O/C 4.2) Intel 8MB cache
16 GB DDR4 3000 MHZ Dual Channel memory
Nvidia GForce, GTX 1070 8GB onboard memory

Both sims have sliders 2/3rd to 4/5ths to the right
Lots of ORBX scenery, including some "True Earth"


Average FPS for 4 airports in P3D first and XP 11 second
KSEA - 27, 25 (T.E)
KMCO - 45, 50
KORD - 42, 30
KIAH - 50, 35

Cheers Allen. I hope this helps.

Hi Steve,
My "newer" motherboard has an AMD Phenom II x6 processor 2.81 Ghz 8 GB RAM
Radeon Rx 460 graphics with 4GB memory
Not nearly the horse power as yours but will run the Cessna 172 and
freeware Aztec E and Super cub at ~25 fps.
I'm currently flying the Aztec on GAAR 2019 leg 2, learning how to fly X-plane.
When not flying Rallys I fly around rural ID, WA, MT and OR.
I just finished flying the Super cub from KLWS thru Hells Canyon on the Snake
at 500-700 feet AGL to McCall. Great flight.

Hi Allen
Last Sunday afternoon I was multi-player flying with some sim friends in Montana, and one of those friends is our boss Allan Lowson. Allan advised we were flying near your home. You definitely live in a beautiful part of the US. In case you need something to do Sunday afternoons you are welcome to join us (2 from UK and 2 - 3 from US). For more info see worldflight.proboards.com

I can see why you spend time flying in ID, WA, MT and OR.

I spent some time flying from KPDX Portland on the Columbia River headed to the Pacific ocean, to KAST, in X-Plane 11 with ORBX True earth scenery. Very scenic and enjoyable
I am posting a few screenies from my DHC-1 Chipmunk.











Cheers
Steve
