By the way, here's my settings. My rig is an E6600, 8800GTS Superclocked, and 2GB RAM.

Any suggestions?

Good specs. What res do you fly at? What about the AA & AF settings on your video card?

Have you gotten into the more specific settings screen, where you can adjust terrain mesh size and auto-gen density? That`s the one you need to get into. Hit the Custom button on the screen you showed, that should bring it up.

Beirut, what was your longest flight so far, and how long did it take?

Most of my flights were short, less than an hour, and at low altitude. I mostly puddle jump and do short bush flights. The longest, I think, was from Whitehorse to Eagle Plains (Artic Circle) in some small prop job.

I love the FSX Missions. It's a really fun way of spending your time. Now I'm trying my luck on gliding a 737 over the Indian Ocean to arrive to a airport 90 miles away! Both engines fail, and you have to glide that monster with passengers inside...

My longest flight was probably from Hawaii Oahu (Dillingham airport I think) to Princeville. I think it was around 150 miles.

Do you fly with music playing?

It can make for a very relaxing diversion.

I've never tried it, partly because I like to hear the ATC, but mostly because my computer is my stereo system, and I do everything I can to run FSX smoothly (use RAM efficiently).

Did you get into the more specific settings screen yet?

Did you get into the more specific settings screen yet?

A little. I think I'll do the tweak you mentioned that gives more buildings - I hate flying over a city of 2D panels will the occasional skyscraper.

EDIT: Here's why. This is Tokyo on my settings, in the Executive Transport mission.

Yeap. I have my iPod near me all the time. Plug and play. I keep the kneeboard open so in case I dont hear the messages, I can always read them.

Still have about 10 missions left, and all of them are pretty hard. I finished the Africa Relief but I didn't get a reward. Any idea why? Maybe because I always stop after the runway?

More like Tin Chickadee.

I listen to Floyd while I'm flying a Cessna.

Did any of you guys complete all missions? And what certificates can you get as rewards?
