I have obtained three (older) PCs. These are HP 7800 small form factor PCs equiped with an E6550 processor, 80GB HDD and 2MB internal memory. This processor has a PI of 1.499. Besides the “main PC”, on which Prepar3D is…
Configuration
Today I adjusted the IP-addresses within a lot of configuration files. After that I updated ProSim to the latest version (1.56) and tried the sim. Nothing was operational. I had to change the USB port numbers within SIOC. Most of…
Renewed setup
Due to the problems with the combination of hardware and software I have decided to revert back to Windows 7. After all three computers had gotten their fresh version of Windows, the updates, tools and a restore of several files…
Only one old computer
The “advantage” of working with several computers at the same time is the possibility that you mix up those computers. That was again true in this case. At first I stated that both FS2 and FS3 computers did not have…

3D (im)possibilities
I looked into the possibilities (and impossibilities) of 3D. To start with the latter, 3D glasses for the beamer are not an option because the NVidia card cannot send a signal they understand. They can only be used when a…
P3D in 3D
This morning I read a post on the DutchFS forum from someone who owned a BenQ W1080ST beamer and a NVidia videocard and who flew with FSX in 3D. Offcourse you will need special glasses for the real experience, but…
New beamer
On the brink of this year I made the decision to get a new beamer. First (a couple of months ago) I wanted to buy an Optoma GT750. A short throw beamer with a resolutone of 1280×1024. This beamer is…
