Presently, It is possible, if you know what you're doing. While it was once a simple install process in WinXP (back when SF2, SF2V, SF2E, and SF2I were first released), SF2NA and the followup patches sort of porked that process. To really get the most out of those DX10 titles, you really need Windows Vista, 7, or 8.

Ummm, you do know that Glenn Frey passed less than two weeks ago, right?

What the hell is going on here? http://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/jefferson-airplane%E2%80%99s-paul-kantner-dies-at-74/ar-BBoPIdg?ocid=ansmsnent11

A 970 is at least an additional $250 on the unit that he's looking at (from the factory).

Lessons learned from previous storms: Build a 'dune" wall to keep the ocean out of your town! A drone flight from South to North along the coastal stretch of Belmar, NJ, show that the wall worked as intended, and kept the storm surge from flooding the streets in that town. The Atlantic looks relatively calm when compared to how angry it appeared at the height of the storm.

The local inlet (Manasquan) at about 0730 this morning. The next high tide is going to be interesting.(For best viewing, click and maximize) http://video-embed.nj.com/services/player/bcpid1950981419001?bctid=4717946202001&bckey=AQ~~,AAAAPLMILBk~,Vn8u6tPOf8Us2eD8W1ez5Zw-Ss_6Anfe

A tuna's bung hole?

Plan Nine from Planet Nine?

Good to hear that things went well for you. Let me take the opportunity to wish you a speedy recovery, and I'm looking forward to seeing your next mod.

Good luck, my friend.

Seriously.... RIP Glenn

Check your laptop's power options, under Windows control panel. Make sure that it's using the "high performance" profile when it's plugged in. Then look at the drivers and other issues. BTW, the 970M should be fine, as it's a 6 GB graphics card. It's the 2 GB (960 and lower) units that were having issues with the later drivers. Another thought:; read this and apply this setting in your Nvidia control panel: http://combatace.com/topic/84199-frame-rate-tweak-for-nvidia-users/

One of the greatest collaborations ever, Freddie Mercury and David Bowie performing "Under Pressure". They now both belong to the ages...

It especially hits home for someone who's been listening to his work since 1972, as I have. I wasn't even 14 yet when I received my first component stereo in June of that year, and started listening to the various "AOR" (Album Oriented Rock) stations that were on the FM band in the New York City area. Bowie was just hitting his stride back then, and was getting almost constant airplay.

I have been listening to his music for well over 40 years. RIP David. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/david-bowie-dies-at-age-69-after-battling-cancer/ar-CCniBe?ocid=ansmsnent11

I this under Windows 10? We'll also need to see your system specs so that we can help you diagnose the issue.

Where have you been for the last 6 months? Mue's LOD viewer doesn't care.

Constellation, creating a 3D model is not a prerequisite for joining the modders and developers forum, Anyone who mods the series in any way and shares those same mods with the community, is considered a modder by our community. You can, for example, create new data.ini files for aircraft, ground & terrain objects, One can also create new effects, design new textures, or even mix new sound effects, We even have a few talented members who are software coders, and have created various utilities for us. Find something that you're good at, contribute to the community, and you'll soon be considered a modder.

Runway "tile" callouts are in the various runway LOD files, which are no longer modifiable, as TK made them impossible to extract . You have two choices: You can replace the LODs by adding new ones into the terrain folder. or can create lower resolution tiles (or both). JSF Aggie's runway sets will work in a pinch, and solve both issues, as they include both new LOD files and textures.

Precisely, though for the purposes of the series in question (SF2), we are usually addressing sea level to 40,000 feet, though of course, 160 kias at 40K would still result in a somewhat higher mach level than at SL. My favorite was the narrow flight envelope for the U2 at 70K feet. The difference between a stall and critical Mach at that altitude was about 4 knots!

FSX is only as good as the add-ons that you're using. Not everyone strives for the level of accuracy that you may be seeking. preferring eye-candy to realism.

Welcome back, Falcon.
