FSX FSUIPC 64 BIT
However with the release of a 64 bit simulator, memory was no longer an issue, so after its release I have expanded me scenery collection.
FSX FSUIPC 32 BIT
While P3D was still in 32 bit (until May 2017) I did not spend a lot of money on scenery, as additional HD scenery eats up memory, and in 32 bit we had less than 4 GB available. Except my PMDG/Boeing the only other planes I've like been the A2A C182 and Majestic Q400 (still waiting for the latter in a P3Dv4 version). I have had a few other payware planes than the one from PMDG (Boeing 737, 747, 777), but most of these have not been on my computer for long. I truly love the work done by PMDG as their planes are superbly modelled on the real aircraft's (both how they are modelled in 3D, but more importantly: their flight-model and the systems being modelled). Looking at a scenery (Airport) it is easy to jump into a single engine prop and buzz around the airport while looking at the scenery, but otherwise I prefer flying big jets (mostly Boeing 737, 747, 767, 777). So the planes bundled with the sim never gets my attension since they all have to simple flight-model along with systems/avionics not being simulated far enough. When flying I always want it to be "as realistic as possible" (within the limitations that I am not sitting in an actual flight deck with all panels, knobs/buttons and controls).

However in 2017 P3D v4 finally became a 64 bit application, which meant memory was no longer the issue. Like FSX when it was released in 2006, the first 3 versions of P3D was 32 bit, which limited the amount of memory usable by the program to less than 4GB. So in stead I went for Lockheed Martin Prepar3d (P3D), which is a "further development of FSX" (as Lockheed Martin acquired the license from Microsoft to do so).
FSX FSUIPC INSTALL
Generally I like steam-apps but for Flight Sim it was "a problem" as many plug-ins/add-ons are not Steam aware (FSX:SE don't install into the same folder as FSX).

The original FSX version is long gone (no one are selling original/new CDs), but today FSX is available via Steam (FSX:SE).

So when I got the urge to fly again I had to start all over. The image next to this text is an old screen-shut of my scenery, which is very simple compared to the UK2000 scenery of Prestwick (as seen in the banner above).įor a series of years other things became more important and I thought my flying days were over (so I trashed my original FSX version along with all the plug-ins I had bought). I even got a nice mail from the manager at Prestwick Airport congratulating me with the job done, as he had seen my work, since his son was using my scenery in MSFS. One of my fellow "colleagues" (Alex Rodger) at the Virtual Airline (living near Prestwick) was allowed access to the Airport (and had a great day there) and later supplied me with some photos which allowed me to make my virtual representation "look like the original" - bear in mind we are back in the year 2000, so tools and visual effects in MSFS was a scare resource. In these years I spend a lot of time combining my developing skills and passion for Flight-Sim by developing various addons/tools, joining a Virtual Airline, repainting planes, and I did some minor Scenery-tweaks before making a complete Scenery from scratch for Prestwick Airport (EGPK) in Scotland, which was my home-plate at that time. All the way through MS FS1 to FSX I was very keen on flying (especial the era from Flight Simulator 95 to FSX). Anyhow my interest in aircraft's never died, so Flight Simulation always been one of my passions.
FSX FSUIPC SOFTWARE
When I was a young boy my dream was to become a Pilot, but getting my first Computer (Commodore VIC-20) when I was 14, I started getting interesting in developing software, so I became a software developer in stead.
