The new PC is up and running, delivering stunning results for FSX!
I've flown a couple of practice flights to ensure everything is running properly, using the Carenado/TAT Piper Seneca from Guernsey to Alderney (shooting some NDB approaches
)

These were using the default FSX environment which is just too "cartoon" in it's effects for me. I've used Flight Environment X for more realism previously, but after reading good reviews I've installed Active Skies 2012 and am very pleased with the results, here in the MILVIZ/TAT Cessna 310R, again from EGJB to EGJA..
