A few requests have come in for my graphics settings. This is what I’m using now, and note that it’s working very well for my rig. Your mileage may vary. Sorry I can’t post a screen shot at the moment … Visual Effects: One notch in from the right. Texture Quality: Full right. Antialiasing: One notch…

I’ve spent some time today further tweaking my monitor alignments and have arrived at updated settings. In particular I tuned two sets of monitor settings, one for the GoPro perspective at the back of the cabin, and another for the perspective from the left seat. For the GoPro / Back Eyepoint Perspective: Left: 57 FOV…

As I’ve been downloading more ortho scenery to my X-Plane library I started needing a map of what tiles I’d downloaded so I could focus on areas where I really want to fly and not duplicate efforts. I couldn’t find a simple solution to this, so I started making my own map, when I got…

Folks have been asking for it so I’ve pasted it in after the break. Someone who really understands X-Plane may look at it and point out things that aren’t optimal, but so far it’s working for me. Here’s a truncated version: I 1000 Version SCENERY SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/KPDX – Portland International/ [OTHER CUSTOM AIRPORTS HERE]…

A question I get from time to time is how I manage to keep my virtual cockpit views from moving as the aircraft moves (for example, the virtual eye point moving back as the airplane accelerates, or to the side in a turn). Prepar3D (and I presume FSX) have a configuration setting called “Dynamic Head…

I recently had this exchange with a reader and thought it might be worth posting. I have a question regarding your setup. I have upgraded my pc to exactly your specifications (6770k 4 gh -> overclocked to 4,6; 16GB DDR4 3000, NVidiaa GTX 980TI) with 3 monitors (all 3 with nvidia surround connected together to…

One of the most common questions I get about the basement sim is how I’ve aligned the cameras across the side LEDs and the front projection screen. I wrote a post about the process here, but a few folks have still asked for the config files themselves. I’ve actually written the camera settings into the…
