Awesome shots! A few questions - what scenery are you using at KDEN, and what land scenery are you using in general? Also, what kind of frames are you getting in the VC with what hardware do you have?

Jose, no they aren't. FS9 is 5 years old now and any new computer could run FSX with ease if the owner spends more than 5 minutes trying to tweak the settings. It's time we move on, anyway.

There is no KDEN scenery for FSX that I am aware of
The Denver area scenery is MegaScenery Earth
With the JS41 I get about 20 fps at an airport, 30+ in the air and 15 or so at a very dense payware airport.

Thanks for the info, Noah!
I am not trying to be rude, but I hope you play other games because FSX can't take advantage of 2 cards :D.

That's pretty sweet, 3 monitors. But still FSX will only run on 1 graphics card even if you had 20 monitors :D.

Nice shots!
PS. I remember long post on PMDG forum explaining why WX radar was not implemented for 747. Guy from PMDG told us it's because FSX does not contain enough information. Well, well, now I see weather radar on J41.

Ya, I remember many years ago developers saying "weather radar" was impossible to have in FS9/FSX ...... WRONG!
I keep seeing people saying, "If you thought the PMDG MD-11 was good, check out the JS4100" .......
So, what exactly makes this aircraft stand out?

Great shots Noah.
Nikolay, the weather radar he's using isn't part of the J41. I'm assuming it's the reality XP piece, but don't know for sure.

Yes the WX Radar is the reality XP one which seamlessly loads into the J41 (you dont even have to set it up), HOWEVER, PMDG has officially said that they are working on a weather radar which is totally different than any wx radar in FS today. But it will be a long time before it is released.
Nicholas - I have three monitors which is why I need more than 1 video card. I use the center monitor for the FSX VC (1980x1020) the left monitor is where I put all my 2D panels (overhead, fms, etc) and the right monitor is where I have all my charts and planning screens.
I'll post a few screens from my first night flight in a bit. The night lighting is crazy nice in the VC.

Where did they say that Noah? The WX Radar looks nice.The VC looks completely realistic. It's a shame this bird isn't more widely used.

Noah, Awesome pictures. You said you run the monitor at 1980/1020. When I change the screen setting my alpha and numerics become unreadable in the cockpit and CDU. That is in FSX using the LevelD, Wilco E170/190 and the CoolSky MD80/90. Any advice?

They say it in the J41 manual and then they confirmed it in their forum.
