Got myself a job this week and treated myself to the 737, it's unbelievable. I've only been flying standard ILS ATC guided flights, I haven't had a chance yet to try out the FMC, I think I need to study the tutorials first before I go anywhere near it. It's a shame there's no GPS though.
It also seems incredibly complicated. For me anyway but maybe thats because I'm not as sharp as you lot
garsands - What you posted is just pure silly GORGEOUS
You have to tell me which airport that was and what packs/settings shizzle you got installed please!
Very nice clip
Thanks
Airport in the clip is Hamilton Island Australia (Freeware)
You can get it here
http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/files/file/617-ants-aussie-airports-vol-9-hamilton-island/
Also installed is REX 2
Orbx - FTX: Australia SP4 (I don't think it is needed for that airport but not sure)
The one below is Port Macquarie Airport Australia
If you like ORBX scenery they've just released another freeware airfield for PNW, Bowerman. Can be found here

Should add if you don't have the Pacific North West scenery from ORBX they have a new demo of the area with this Airfield included

Nothing impressive I'm afraid; GTX 460 and a crappy Q8200 (stock). I keep it locked at 30FPS. Think I'm going to build a new rig at the start of next year.
Not quite FSX but still nice
Yeah, I was going to post them in the High-res screenshot thread but thought you guys might enjoy them more.
Edit: New flight stick has been dispatched! Yay!

Well it doesn't look too bad in those pics so I'd be happy. As for 30fps I think thats fine for a sim. On FSX I can use PMDG's 737 at about 18fps on my old laptop. Going to treat myself in a month or two to something special from Dell Outlet I think.
PMDG has released the paint kit, so here's hopeing we get some more nice liveries shortly 
I'm also thinking that this is a step toward the 600/700 getting ready for release as they chase down the last few show stopper bugs in the 800/900. It will be nice to play with the 600 in Canada and and Brazil with difficult and short field landings
Apparently they(PMDG) are saying that the next few products will not take as long to complete. I'm already looking forward to the 777 and were not even bored with the 737 lol
Now that I'm a member of British Airways Virtual again as well as Thomson I better get my hours in with BAV for the 777
I've got DCS A10. I fancy the Hotas for it so I've kind of left it for the time being. It does look incredible though. Imagine what MS Flight will be like with similar tech

Yeah I have, need to play around with it a bit more to be honest. I chose a few different schemes when I first got it and loaded those, but havnt touched it much since! 
It seems a bit overwelming at the moment, could do with researching some different example combinations to see what looks good.

Not posted any screenshots in a while and seeing the C-17 I thought I'd have a short flight with the old Nimrod from the Bahamas (Nassau) to Orlando...through hurricane Irene!

Lovely looking Nimrod - who makes that model?

To all the folks adding the above and previous page screen shots. Nicely done and thanks for contributing to this thread.
Just a word on anything that is not related to FSX though, I don't mind on a rare occasion that people post screen shots outside of FSX but please just make it a once off occasion. This thread needs to stay on FSX related items, there are other threads on other sims and they wouldn't take kindly if I started posting my screen shots on their thread on a regular basis. Thanks
Sorry, missed your message till just now. A fair few are listed within this thread, especially the good ones. I usually post screen shots if I get anything new and if I do, just gimme a tell on what interest you in the shot and I will tell you what addon it is. To list all my addons is a problem 1) I don't really have an uptodate list 2) the list is rather huge in both payware & freeware and not everything is installed all at once.
That is the beauty about REX, there are so many options to explore but my advice is, keep it simple for now. Just install whatever you can understand and grasp, then over time try to experiment with different themes & settings until you find your favorites. btw I find that there is no single setting or theme that is the absolute best over all the others simply because many combinations & themes can look great. IMO fly for a week or so with a particular setting, then once you get a little bored of seeing the same clouds/sky, change the settings, or if you feel brave, use the random option.
Ever since I upgrade my monitor to a 30'' and watched FSX from 1920x1200 to 2560x1600, my jaw hasn't yet recovered from hitting the floor. It is one of the reasons why my screen shots are so clear and detailed, carefully reducing screen shots from 2560x1600 to a more postable 1280x768 keep much of the detail within the shot compared if the shot was taken at that lower res. In other words, you should find the details and clarity of your screen shots should improve at your higher res.
Lovely shots, looks a bit windy
It looks like UKMIL's Nimrod, which I believe is freeware. But I could be wrong on both accounts.

I can confirm fsx looks much better @ 2560x1440
