It's back up again for me, has been for about a week now

Also been trying to get on their site for a week or so now, looking for any updates on the 330/340 series. I've seen people post on their Facebook but with no reply and no tweets sent from their Twitter either. Maybe an A340 was too much to ask for?

Mainly the price differences, for a Skylake system anything I configure seems to come out at around £1050-£1100, however I only really have the budget for £800-£850 Max. This is the first time i've built from scratch so i'm also not overly confident treading in to territory where not yet many people have yet been. (However that'll change after time). I have definitely looked in to the newer processors and have seen the improvements in performance but i'm not sure whether I can personally justify an extra £200 for a machine that's the top end of today's standards when I can configure a Haswell system which will still blow away most of my games and simulators with ease.

Currently asking myself the same question for a brand new build I'm doing. I'm basically telling myself: - The i5 4690k is base clock 3.5 with Turbo up to 3.9Ghz standard, and would need OC'ing to get any further. - The i7 4790k is base of 4.0 with Turbo up to 4.4Ghz standard. Obviously the only REAL difference is the hyper-threading, which isn't really of any bother to FS users right now. However IMHO for future proofing and purely because of its base clock and how right now the processor would be staying stable, I'm probably going to go for the i7 to feel more comfortable. I want to get at least 5 years of comfortable gaming/simming before even considering upgrading as this is my first big proper build.

Add a second download and scan - Completely clean and legit on my end. Bear in mind they announced to close in April.... And it's only heading into March :wink:

Away from the discrepancies in accuracy of the flight data, this movie is about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse mixed with responsibility. Full of life lessons but also a gripping and, and certain points, quite funny film. I enjoyed watching it very much when it came out in the UK!

The FSX Service Packs were uploaded by us - we had a "tip-off" that, as you say, things are happening behind the scenes (although we don't know for sure) and saw no reason why not to upload them to our servers. I hadn't noticed the FS9.1 update had also been pulled.. I think it would be wise to upload that too.

Anyone who's flown to/from Manchester Airport in the past 10 or so years will know that there's a rather large mockup of a 747 by the runway... Here it is on fire. Unfortunately no Kerosene burns today as the wind would have blown the smoke straight over the runway threshold... So we substituted that with 700 kilos of LPG. A tad better than a day in the office. Pretty warm out there. You like??

How loud is it in the actual 737?
Sam Nicholson replied to Seadot777's topic in PMDG 737NGX | 737NGXu
One things for sure that the 'Buses are quieter than Boeings. However like the others, i'm quite certain you wont get 100dB in an airliner cockpit. -
I completely disagree. I've actually been to Rolls-Royce's Derby facility just a few miles away and the showed me the research they've pulled. It's really spectacular. One of their Engineers said "We had a phase considering putting less research effort in, but after the QF incident we've completely ruled that out. Safety is and always will be our top priority, as we'll only ever make money with a safe product." Saying that, though, it's another worrying feeling knowing that ANA exchanged a great deal of their engines due to "bad parts". Sound familiar?

Disk Backup
Sam Nicholson replied to Ben Cap's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etc
EaseUS Todo Backup (http://www.todo-backup.com/) or Paragon Backup & Recovery 2012 (http://www.paragon-software.com/home/br-free/) I personally use O&O's software, but only because I am a returning customer from their Disk Defragmenter. Those other two are the bomb, though. Use them on machines I set up for other people.
