Suspended!
How cool!! The airplane I got over the summer, has now been suspended over the staircase in our house! I won't go into the trouble it took to get it there (thanks Mary Lake, Will, and Ryan), but lets say that I've become more acquainted with my attic, and its peculiar arrangement of ceiling studs. Christy and Christy Lake are going to love seeing this!

Can this thing go any faster?
Hal Bryan has recently posted an article entitled "What's your frame rate? (Part II)" in the FSInsider.com article section. He hits on several areas relevant to improving the performance of FSX such as: defragging, closing non-essential programs, using the latest hardware drivers, and video card settings. He dives into the settings sliders, and how the sim is affected by each. He explains why having bloom and 2.x water effects on dramatically impacts performance. Finally, Hal describes some advanced editing for the FSX.cfg I've spoken about before that can improve things a bit. Excellent piece, Hal, keep them coming!
