Due to the latest changes I made in the AMD Radeon 11.7 setting, my fsx.CFG has realized a significant modification by removing the AffinityMask entry completely.
This means that all 4 cores of my i7 CPU are now available to FSX, rather than just limited to 2 cores through the AffinityMask=13 command as set before.
Graphics Card: ASUSTeK MATRIX HD5870 P/2DIS/2G
OC to 970MHz / 5000MHz (default 894MHz / 4800MHz)
Radeon Driver: 11.7

Starting from the Scenery – Switzerland Airports and Scenery – Caribbean Airports posts, a url of the corresponding Google Earth file will be provided in all Scenery posts (older posts will be updated gradually).
By adding the url to Google Earth via Network Link, not only the map-display result is matching of what I am having, the scenery data can also be updated automatically once the master file is revised.
Recently added FSWidgets iGMapHD for iPad to my system.
It is far from being a perfect product and has the problems of:
However, it adds a lot of fun to my flightsim experience without a real multi-monitor system. It is very easy to setup. And it doesn’t like Air Display, it won’t impact FSX performance at all. Continue reading
