Runner's Birthday Cake



I tried to do some flying with two monitors. It 's really a different look, the vision is wider and there is a greater feeling of being in the cockpit. Too bad that ... Vista once again shows less efficient than good old XP.
With XP it was possible to have the direct configuration of the use of double or triple monitor using ATI or Nvidia drivers, but both manufacturers have not updated the drivers for this feature in Vista and I tried if there was any ploy to circumvent the problem.
course the easiest is to spend and buy a pat € the Matrox TripleHead2Go (digital version, the analogy does not work on Vista). On the Internet, the alternative could be UltraMon which allows you to actually install and configure the span across two monitors, but not with FSX, or rather the working span on the 2D monitor, but not on the virtual cockpit and landscape (I think that part of the blame is to be assigned to directX). And then you just have to open two windows, each on a monitor, and try to match the images to give a feeling for enlarged view. Sure, it works, but every time you move the image realignment is a painstaking work.

Fraxel Laser For Under Eye

ENLARGED VIEW THE TOUR CONTINUES IN GREECE

continues its tour greek. Do the stages in the early morning and it is difficult to see other aircraft and controllers on line. After I flew to Alexandroupolis Ioannina, in Epirus. The approach was very funny, between high mountains and visibility is variable. Then I got in the Peloponnese, landing in Kalamata, a city with a large sea port. Just behind the city there are mountains over 2500 meters high, and the procedure requires a large holding on the Messinian Gulf to dispose of the height. To be honest, half the time of the flight has been involved in approaching the bay, with wide turns before the final alignment with the track 34.
Finally, I flew to Kavala in northern Greece. This question was very nice, and thanks to the clear blue sky, I have seen the gulf of Athens, then the Chalkidiki peninsula, and finally, thanks to the VOR / DME approach runway 05, the island of Tasso. Also on this occasion, the old filmed the landing ... and shame, I realized that the passengers applauded the touchdown ... it was a school field trip?

DESTROYED BY AVSIM A HACKER

I get from Tom Allensworth, with prayer to spread it on the web, the following news:
today, the AVSIM site was destroyed by a hacker. Both the root servers were attacked by viruses and cartelle di partizione sono andate perse, con grande difficoltà di recupero.

PRESS RELEASE: AVSIM Hacked!!

Tom Allensworth, CEO and Publisher of AVSIM, today issued the following announcement; “We regret to inform the flight simulation community that on Tuesday, May 12, AVSIM was hacked and effectively destroyed. The method of the hack makes recovery difficult, if not impossible, to recover from. Both servers, that is the library / email and web site / forum servers were attacked. AVSIM is totally offline at this time and we expect to be so for some time to come. We are not able to predict when we will be back online, if we can come back at all. We will post more news as we are able to in the coming days and weeks.

Why Have I Got A Bulky Ovary

NOW YOU FLY IN GREECE

I left for another tour, this time organized by IVAO Greece. This is a round up LRU Greek domestic routes, to be carried out in 20 stages, a total period of short, each committed between 40 and 100 minutes.
The plane chosen is the default B737-800, the last series of 737 with winglets, which has a great avionics and a panel of "almost" fully functional.
I have already done three drafts, which made me cross the landscape in Greece (Thessaloniki, Zakynthos, Kos) and vertical (Kos-Alexandroupolis).
The tour is of particular interest to me, because most of airports, which I had never flown, do not have ILS, and approach procedures - usually via DME - require the implementation in fully manual landing.
The fact that the routes are short, facilitating the realization of this tour, that account to conclude in about ten days. Fortunately
UT Europe for FSX has corrected the Greek coasts, which had inexplicably forgotten in the strategic scenario of the original mortgage, and the classes of textures used are those on Greece in Southeastern Europe, with red tile roofs and blue fields small plots of land and vegetation.
In the short movie recorded what he saw from the old window depicted in the first column of the blog, I always follow in my flight: I'm landing in Alexandroupolis, airport LGAL - Dimokritos in Thrace.

2 Days Late, Cervix High And Closed

IFR TOUR: BRUSSELS

The last stages dell'Ivao Austria IFR Tour took me from Salzburg to Brussels Brussels, before returning to the airport by I had started the tour, Klagenfurt.
I was so immersed in these flights, which when passed over the Rhine and saw a strange brown (second image from top) I thought about how dirty it was a result of heavy rains that have hit the ' Europe these days ...
In total, 14 sections for about 4,300 nautical miles I've done in 15 days. It 'was a very nice tour, which made me appreciated the flight simulator and for the first time I used systematically in FSX a liner, such as the A321 by default. Previously I could not, now the grainy images and compare the effect blurries. E 'was decisive for me to do it this way:
- uninstalling and reinstalling from scratch
FSX - installing the latest Nvidia drivers
- manual defragmentation and systematic use of ccleaner before each stage, for thorough cleaning of the disc
- activation of the preview dx10
regard to this last step, I have seen a substantial improvement of the framerate, but an incompatibility with the libraries of MTL IvAp. The planes are seen, but are devoid of texture. However it seems to me that the MTL create stability problems in FSX, I tend to link the cases to block the program that sometimes I just, just these aircraft dynamic libraries (these are the views of other pilots to air traffic-related).
What are the next goals? In the coming days you will know ...
