With some help from PayPal Credit, I was able to pull off purchasing a Corsair CX750M PSU to replace the Thermaltake 600W that seemed to be ailing. I was able to do a flight from Sherman Municipal to Carswell in the Beech 18, then land and switch to my Carenado HD Cessna 337 for the return flight to North Texas Regional. Total flight time 1hr and 10mins. Previously the longest I could fly before the PC died was about 15mins max and if I tried to fly at all with any of the V4 Carenado Airplanes it wouldn't last 5 minutes.
I'm not ready to declare total success yet. . .I've done that before and it turned around and bit me in the butt, lol. This was promising though and makes me feel more certain that the PSU was the problem. I admit that for the first 15 minutes of this flight I didn't breath much, lol. . .I just knew that at any second it was going to die on me and the search for the real problem would start all over again. But for now. . .so far, so good!
