Hi guys and girls. I've been busy with work and other non sim related stuff so I'v not posted for a while. I hope everyone is feeling good.
I've posted a few images in the gallery to show recent progress.
I had to have a total rethink of where and how I sited the pc's I had.
I was only using two pc's and the heat generated in their box was unbelievable. I had a 70w fan trying to cool the box and the noise was unreal. I really didn't want to fly.

I reckon I can get by with 4 pc's. I'm now running 3 spread further apart from each other with space for another upfront. I'm water cooling the front
(main view machine) and will water cool the other front machine when i can afford to build it!
The rear pc's are a little noisy but I'm working on that. I've now got much better access to all pc equipment and the noise levels have me flying late at night again. hurray.

While I was at it I've popped a 10.4 inch touch screen in the front this size fits much better than my temp 15inch display. I can start to think about a mip at some point now. I've also connected my psone display to pc number 3 now. I've put GAPanel on this as well and put the navigation instruments up there. this helps compensate for the loss of screen size on the main display.
