Main flight computer is upgraded

Now I have: 

- Asus Z690-E motherboard 

- Intel 12900K processor overclocked to 5.1 Ghz.

- G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz

- Kraken X73 liquid cooler

-2 TB SSD for simulator and sceneries

With some workarounds I am still using the same software installs from previous PC, except upgrading from Windows 7 to Window 10. That saved a lot of time that otherwise would be spent on reinstalling hundreds of sceneries, etc.

All broken pictures restored

All broken pictures now restored.

I will move the pictures to another host soon.
