In this article I take a look at the relative performance differences between the Nvidia 670 FTW, 780 SuperClock and the 780 ti as it pertains to Flight Simulator X (FSX).  I'll also include some non-fsx benchmarks for comparing how these three cards stack up.  This project began as an attempt to get a boost in performance in FSX from my original card which was the 670.  In the end I settled on the 780ti.

Rex Game Studios is working on a new add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator X (and Prepar3D) called Rex Latitude which will help enhance your virtual piloting experience to a whole new level.  They plan on releasing the paid add-on to the general public on 11-22-12. **Now that Latitude is released, check out our first impressions article here. **

Rex Game Studios has released their updated photorealistic, hi-def weather and texture package along with flight planning ability for Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX) and Lockheed Martin's Prepar3D.

Summary:

Windows 8 released to the public, Surface RT gets a price, cable companies to encrypt basic cable, iPad mini details, a planet is found in the Alpha Centauri system, VOXATC for FSX and more.

Flight Simulator fans rejoice, the new FS Global Ultimate Series has been completed.  "The Americas" and "Europe/Africa" are shipping now and the last part of "Asia/Oceania" are shipping March 24th.  For those unfamiliar, FS Global is a height map mesh for the world.  Imagine the landscape as a grid and at every grid point, the ground gets pulled up or pushed down from sea level to the height of the ground at that location, forming a more accurate height model of the surface of the Earth, adding many levels of detail to the ground.  It literally adds an immense amount of depth and realism to Flight Simulator.
