Well, another 10 months have past and now it's finally time for my semi-annual sim site update. A lot of work has gone into the sim the first half of this year and quite a few enhancements have been made. James Price assembled a new main sim computer for me with a 1GHz processor and advanced graphics card. The sim now runs FS-2000 at a higher frame rate than the previous 450MHz system running FS-98. Along with the increased frame rate came improved instrument refreshing, which was readily apparent with the ADI's roll function during snap rolls. A new Ethernet hub was installed to link the sim's computers together along with several remote workstations. A lot has been accomplished in the past nine months, so I have broken up the upgrades into the following sections:

Latest upgrades/enhancements:

• Left MFD functionality
• Engine instrument activation
• Anti-G suit and oxygen system activation
• Miscellaneous additions/improvements
