That pic also gives us an idea of what Flight Sim X needs to run at a
decent framerate...

Jay is working his way up to it. Of course he is slowed down by his real
airplane ;-)

Damn. Strangely, he doesn't seem to have multiple displays -- the mark
of a truly cool sim.

We're talking about adding a third display to the Kiwi, to serve as
the pilot-side "window". This will allow us to constantly display
whatever is out the left side of the plane, making flying a landing
pattern much easier.

Upgrades. It's almost as bad as owning a real plane!
