Hello All, Some of you that have been around for ages know me well, other not so much after a long hiatus due to various personal health issues that drug me away from the community to begin with. I believe my last leg was somewhere in 2010. Yeh that long ago. I was a big FS9 concierge and basically new the sim inside and out and what made it run smoothly. a couple of weeks ago while cleaning out all my antiquated equipment, I found my Raptor drives with all my FS stuff and my main C Drive. I decided to plug them back into the bench with the same exact MOBO and trimmings to see if it would start, it did except the fs9 and fsx drive failed, both with failed heads, anyway..... i had a back up made prior and was able to restore fs9 and x but it doesn't act the same as it did 14 years ago, so it leads me to this question..... I will rebuild FS9 and X but i am keen on FS2024 coming in November as well as 2020. Ive been out of the game for quite awhile now, and been researching options. most know me as an over the top guy, and I will spend some coin to enjoy it into my retirement years. Ill most likely wait for NVidias new GPU and Intel's CPU, but I heard AMD is also coming out with a new series as well. has anyone any insight on intel or amd and the newer sims, i understand FS can now utilize the cpu and gpu in order to have a smooth flight experience, vr is not in my future for now, it will take me a month or two just to get a normal rig up and all the associated software for online simming as well. but im all ears..... Sorry for the long read...

Great to see you back Tony!

I moved from FSX briefly to P3d and then got sold on XP11. Now into XP12. While MS2020 visuals are great, I find the flight models in XP11/12 to be more realistic. Plus a pilot wrote the original code and heads up Laminar Research. I watched a video interview with him (Austin Meyer) and never looked back. I took a break as well 2006 through 2011 but back and loving it. Waiting for the XP12 upgrade to the FJS Mighty 727 for XP11 but its probably 6 months or more out...

Hi boss. It’s been some years since I was your ACP in the Guppy program. It is great to see you coming back. I have a bit of insight into hardware/software upgrades in my recent MSFS2020 build out. I bit the bullet and spent a lot of coin upgrading all of my hardware. And for those who know me, I have a lot! I believe I have used every FS platform over the many years since it came out in 1984. I followed all the migrations from FS9 FSX, P3D thru xplane and finally settling on MSFS2020. I will be upgrading to 2024 when it comes out in November. You are most welcome to reach out to me directly by DM and I have a few threads in the cooler about my recent journey. Anyway, it’s good to see you coming home Tony. Welcome back and good luck.
