MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum

I have a serious situation.........My Frames in FS are very bad, around 7fps with everything at max in the PF DC-9. Sometimes after I fly around for a while, there are pink and other texture colors on the ground. My graphics are horrible, and it is sometimes jittery.(sorry if I sound like a complainer)My Computer Specs:Windows XP ProCelleron 700Geforce 2 mx/400224 mb ram55.9 gig hard driveoffice keyboardintelli mousemicrosoft sidewinder proviewsonic 17" monitorI would really like to get a faster computer, but I don't know what I should put in it. If anyone has any suggestions, please post them.http://www.webspawner.com/users/ahay/FINAL%20BANNER.jpgRegards,Aaron

Hi All,Not sure if this is old news but I've just downloaded some XP drivers from the CH Products website to try with my VMAX (AETI) AFCS yoke and they work just great. I now have all 12 buttons fully functional again.Once installed the driver to use is listed as CH FlightSim Yoke PCI've also found it best after the initial calibration to recalibrate using FSUIPC.Hope it works for youCheersDave MarchFDC Website:http://www.oncourse-software.co.uk

I have noticed that "some" of my addon aircraft show up like this in the startup screen.This example is from POSKY.

Hi,The landing light from inside work with the MS planes, but I dont see it from inside in other planes, (freeware, payware).Whats the mistery? is it hidden somewhere to see them from inside?Johan

Anyone have the fix for the PAI Md11 to make it show, wanna to D'ld but the site is down.THX

I know there was a problem with the 767's sticking to the runway and the solution I've read was to replace the .air file with the 777. Problem is, I just noticed that the 777's never take off and run well past the runway until it disappears. Anyone else having a similar problem? Thanks!

I just got Bill Lyons' excellent Waco and I've had the urge to add my custom hangar to a few more airports. I was wondering what the best and easiest tool to add just API's is? I'm not looking to design whole airports, just add a macro here or there. Anything visual would be prefered rather than punching in coordinates.Thanks![TABLE BORDER=0][tr][td] [/ [/td][/tr][tr] [td] [link:timsfsstudio.home.attbi.com]Click here to visit Tim's FS Studio!] Updated June 11th!

Does anyone at PF know the configuration?http://www.webspawner.com/users/ahay/banner.jpgHappy Flying!Aaron

Hi Mates,The New ATR 42-300 Designed by F. S

Hi flightsimmers, this is my first time i meet the forum.My problem:When i take of from San Francisco Intl., the area around and also the california cost line did not show any texture, it looks like the landscape of the good old fs5.Only green and brown coloured geometric areas without any surface texture details.Also Part of some Islands in this Area are under Water.Most of the generated Buildings and the Airports are to bee seen without any problem.I have had installed some mesh from raimondo, but this should not harm the textures as i know.Never the less I have cancelled the mesh, without any positive result.I have detected this problem only in the San Francisco area a…

Thanks to those who jumped into my thread with advice . I found the right folders after not being able to locate them for some time within FS2002. It all works. The world looks more orderly and realistic now. Buildings look like...buildings, but they line streets and stuff.Can I instal additional stuff like new tree textures by Gerry whatsisname on top of this Autogenius stuff? And there's a Japanese guy, Shigeru, who has done cherry blossom trees. Can I add that stuff on top of Autogenius?Thanks again fellows!Cheers!JS

Is FS Meteo a worthwhile buy for the average user (me)? Does it do much much more than the default facility, or is it limited by what FS2K2 can realistically - and graphically - display?Which of the above interface - if at all - with Flightmax and/or Reality XP equipment? Either or neither?Thanks in anticipation,Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitak.htmlhttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitakv3.jpg

Who is Marc, you might well ask !! ?? :-hmmmEver heard of FSMeteo then ? Marc is the author !Not only do I thank him for a wonderful piece of software, that is being used by thousands every day, but even more so for the excellent service he always provides.Every new version of his program gets delivered automatically to my Yahoo inbox, always. And when I was foolish enough to crash my hard disk and ruin my backup, a short note to Marc was all that was needed to receive the source code again, within hours !!Great Marc, THANK YOU !!! :-yellow1 :-yellow1 :-yellow1 :-yellow1 (I'll make a few backups this time ;-) ) :-outta Francois :-wave[table border=0 cellpadding=10 cellspa…

Some quotes that I thought you all might find interesting, educational, or just "plane" amusing. Also where I originally got my signature. There's some good ones here.Enjoy!HeatherPilot Bits of WisdomIf you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger. If you pull the stick back, they get smaller. That is, unless you keep pulling the stick all the way back, then they get bigger again The propeller is just a big fan in front of the plane used to keep the pilot cool. When it stops, you can actually watch the pilot start sweating. When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No one has ever collided with the sky Never let an aircraft take you somewhere your brain didn't get to …

Does anyone know of a good external push back program for fs2002 .. ?Regards,Wac :-wave

This is a most incredible looking global freeware scenery program by an Italian chap (Franceso Mandelli). I stumbled on it today. It looks utterly amazing--revolutionary-- but my Italian is not so great and I am not positive I understand the instructions clearly. If anybody here is using it and it works as well as it looks, please post with any advice or info on installing and using it.Thanks!Js

Does anyone have any recommendations on what software/paint programs are best for this? Also, is there a tutorial somewhere to explain how to do it? With all these new PAI paint kits, I really have the itch to learn this. Thanks!

There has been some controversy in the differences of downloaded weather, between "Global" and "Local".I'm going to be delving into this some more by comparing what is downloaded and transitions into as my aircraft proceeds cross-country and will let you all know what I discover.In the meantime, an excellent site for looking at current weather conditions is the National Weather Service, or NOAA, located at:[http://weather.noaa.gov]They have many features and one that I like, for the US, gives local conditions as well as METAR reports on the same screen. On the main page, at the top, select a state, then on the following page, under "Current Weather Conditions," select you…

Hi guysI posted this in the panel forum but it has not attracted any response so I thought that I would try here.I am trying to alter the panel .cfg of the Archer such that I can use the excellent GPS contained in the Reality-XP avionics package.I have managed to get the gauge to show as a pop up panel but I am a little disappointed in its size........I would like it to appear bigger. The relevant bit of the panel.cfg looks like this:-baCKGROUND_COLOR=2,2,2size_mm=331,104window_size_ratio=1position=0 visible=1 ident=GPS_PANEL gauge00=RealityXP_FlightLine!GPS_GL50,0,0,331 I have experimented with the line size_mm=331,104 but this only seems to give a larger dark background…

CH Yoke PC.I find that the throttle and yoke are both in a constant full-forward position, although rudders and bank work, as do all of the switches on the yoke.I once found that by re-running DirectX in Win98 that I solved an issue with those CH drivers in detecting rudder. I'm not sure what version of DX comes with XP, and wary of running it in case I cause more issues with my XP.Thanks,Bruce.

Does anyone know of any links they could post to any repaints for the cheyenne400 from FSD?Thanks in advance!Dave

I installed the Avsim Base Scenery and Naji

Hey all,Nvidia has released their 29.42 drivers on their web site (a few days late...). I haven't had the opportunity to thoroughly test them just yet, but the main goal for them was to fix the somewhat poor performance of Anisotropic filtering. This is most important for sims like ours, so it'd be a good idea to at least test them out.I'd be more than interested in seeing a few reports if they either do or don't help your Aniso speeds.http://www.nvidia.comTake care, http://members.rogers.com/eelvish/elrondlogo.gifhttp://members.rogers.com/eelvish/flyurl.gif

I'm currently making some new ground textures for EGKK Gary Summons scenery, and i heard that by using the "Image tool" that came with FS, i can make these textures reflective by using something known as the Alpha Channel.Can someone please tell me how to convert a normal BMP saved in 32bit to a file using the Alpha Channel. What procedure do i need to take?CheersWill
