Does setting Mipbias in FSX (Acceleration) do anything or is it obsolete? I'm trying to improve the texture resolution of 'mid distance' photo scenery. LOD_radius helps, but only to a point. (I've tried a variety of settings out to 8.5, currently using 7). Textures that seem to be well within the LOD_Radius are still loaded at a lower resolution and 'snap in' to the next level of detail as I get closer. I want this to happen further away from my viewpoint. I thought setting Mipbias would force higher resolution textures to load further out, but maybe I don't understand this tweak, or it no longer works? Can someone set me straight one this? Is there another way to…

Have VC views defined for the new T7. Both the ones with and without DHM have a tendency to "creep" forward. By the time a flight is done and I come to a full stop they do not come back to their starting position but end up slightly forward. Is there a fix for this little nuisance ?

Hi, for the advanced tutorial, i find 5 files with extensions .flt, .fssave, .mj1, .mj2, .wx...in which of the fsx folders shall i copy these in order to start with the exact conditions of the aircraft and scenery and weather situations. tks eman

Hello there, I was wondering if someone uses FTX global night lights with utx, experience x? what do you recommend for night lighting? what do you use? cheers.

Hi all,I don't know what happened,but I can only pan about 90 degrees each side of straight ahead,and up/down now. I can't seem to find the cfg entry for that. Thanks for any help :( Edit, I am using Microsoft Track Ball Explorer.

erm... thank god i can just hover! ! NOTICE: This is the FSX Forum. If you have images you would like to display, please post them in the Photo Forum. Thanks! Jim Young AVSIM Forum Moderator

Have in FSX an issue with an elevation near Rio. Have just installed GEX Asia & South America, have several of these add-ons in FSX ( UT, GEX, ORBX Aust etc). Went to Rio and noticed an elevation issue near the airport as in the sea. Disabling both the new GEX & ORBX did not solve this issue which makes me think that it has always been there. Attached is a photo. Any suggestions, also can anyone tell me that the ORBX scenery files were at the top in the Library. Shall I put them at the bottom ( above the default scenery) were other texture files like UT etc are.

Just ordered Mexico City Xtreme,Puerto Vallata,Toncontin from Taxi2Gate, as well as FlyTampa's Dubai Rebooted, and OrientalSim's Nairobi after hearing the latest BBC currency markets update. Hope I will not regret these purchases. I'd love some feedback from anyone having any of these sceneries. Needed some more airports other than my complement of FSDT to take the T7 into. Thanks in advance for any +ve or -ve feedback.

Hello all, quick question I have been pondering. When you install textures into fsx from REX, you choose one type of lower level cloud type and one cirrus type. When I fly around fsx with no external weather program and just using the default non real weather option from FSX, I only see these two types of clouds. What happens when I use a weather program and it calls for different clouds? Will my FSX show default clouds if they are not the clouds installed? Adam

I know I can have the average FPS displayed by adding AverageFrameRate to fsx.cfg but does someone know how this average FPS is calculated? Reason I ask is to me it seems this average counter is reset every know and then during a flight. I would rather like to have the average FPS from the moment when I start the flight with no resetting along the flight, is this possible to configure somehow?

When I select SLEW (Y) my aircraft start rotating very fast in a 360 Degree circle continually. I've tried different air craft and they are all the same. Any help would be appreciated. George Clark

Can anyone tell if the SD Yak-40 for FS9 will work or be made to work in FSX. I love this plane and it seems to have a great VC cockpit with it.

This is what I want to do type in an airport and a radius in nm and have it list all the airports of all types, seaplane bases, heliports etc .. for example KATL and 50nm then it would give me a list of all the airports within 50nm from KATL is there something that does this, or is there a way I could do this easily? thanks

Hi guys, almost every time when I switch my custom fixed EZCA views in 737NGX's VC with my joystick buttons I see some trepidation before or after (hard to say) the view moves to the assigned position. Has anybody noticed it? Is there anything I can do about it? 737NGX is the only plane where I see this effect. I use a combination of TrackIR + EZCA fixed views in the VC of 737NGX. Thanks, Dirk.

I am Unable to connect multiplayer session. Is it possible the cause of my problem is windows 8 ? Any body have this trouble? tank

I am an avid user of Google Earth to see my projected flightplan before, during, and after my flights. I try to match flightpaths shown on flightaware, and one of the ways I can do this is by retrieving the .kml file from their web page. I can often see shortcuts or deviations from the filed plan right on the map, and I like to make notes of which waypoints to bypass. I have an overlay of the ground based navaids used worldwide (VORs, NDBs), but I cannot find a file that represents named waypoints, such as those used in RNAV procedures. See this screen capture below, it shows a star approach into KATL, with ground based navaids superimposed. It would be…

I have posted in the REX forum but to no avail. So I hoping that there are REX customers who at least know how to fix a problem I have. Using the REX weather Engine I find every time I am on the ground the Altimeter is always 30.00 and the wind is always 113 at 9kts. Is there a way to fix the default wind and altimeter. Dane Quartel

Any good or decent Freeware or payware biz Jets out there? Preferably with a decent VC...

I've tried shift-o, and holding down the space button and moving my mouse cursor...doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong or is there another option? I'm getting tired of using trackIR...

So I was looking around to see if there were any freeware airports for Dallas-Love Field in Texas since I fly for Southwest Virtual and that is my home airport. I found one that was pretty easy to install. It came with it's own installer and allowed me to set whether the cross runway 36 was active or not. It added a bunch more buildings where they should be and I assume updated a few AI paths for taxing and added more gates. It did not change textures on anything. Long story short. When I take off from this airport or while I am taxing to a certain part of it the game will pause for 2 full seconds (usually while taxing to 13R or when I take off from 31L, …

Hello I have been a fan of FSX for quite a few years now, however I have recently replaced my old hard drive and in the process recovered many games, files etc. Including fsx and all my mods. I could not simply re-install fsx because my second game disc has been missing for quite some years now. To cut a long story short I have got fsx working again however when I open the game I receive an error message saying there was an error preventing the product from being activated properly, I have searched long and hard for a solution with no success and this is my last try before being reduced to purchasing a new copy of fsx. I was wondering if anyone else shares my issue o…

See image. I'm coming in at 260 degrees to intercept the 28 ILS/VOR. But what is this 'circle to land runway 15R' all about? My route has me landing on runway 28 btw.

Oops, clicked twice on my Q400 question...

The Q400 sounds fabulous but I'm hesitating because of comments re some piece of the model 'runs outside of FSX' and so this makes me wonder if FSPax won't function correctly with it. Thanks!
