    I mean really, only 1 setting (airport vehicles) on vs. off nets double the frame rate.

    OK, I have been going back and forth with this topic and I think it's time to ask for some advice. I started collecting the ORBX scenery sets and although there is a slight framerate hit on my system compared to the default scenery, it is quite impressive. I have also heard a lot about MegaScenery Earth and see that they are putting out each state at quite a fast rate. My biggest complaint with ORBX is that I will be too old to see my monitor by the time they complete the whole U.S, and they started in the West and I live in Pennsylvania. What I also like about ORBX is that all seasons are covered and quite nicely with subtle changes. My biggest complaint with MegaSc…

    Hi all I use both UT2 and aifp for my aI aircraft but was wondering what the best settings within fsx are regarding my AI setting for as realistic a timetable for AI aircraft as I can. I know that UT2 does not use the settings within fsx but with using AIFP as well, which does use those settings, I wondered at what sort of percent I should use to achieve a more or less accurate look, at the moment I have it set for 50% but don't know if I should set it slightly higher or not. With WOAI back I will be using a lot more of those timetables which means I will be using the fsx ai settings more rather than the UT2 timetables so what would be the best fsx setting be for this …

    I spend most of my time flying commercial jets like the Airbuses and Boeings. But was curious to know if there are any FMC available on military jets like F16, F15E, FA-18? Can I enter in and make flight plans like I do on lets say a 737? And does it support LOC and GS capturing for ILS approaches?

    One thing that really bugs me is how AI traffic handle the pushback procedure. What I see all the time is a short, straight pushback followed by a complete 360 turn and then the plan is on its way. That, of course is not accurate. The plan should pushback and turn right or left, if need be, and then sit a few minutes complete engine start and checklist flow. I never see that. I'm currently using World Of AI. The only program I have seen handle pushback accurately is GSX from FSDT. There are other things I don't like about this product so I don't use it but it does a great job with pushback. Does anyone know how pushback can be made to behave more accurately with AI ai…

    Hi, Does anyone have an idea of the Airsimmer Airbus project status..... there's a guy on their forum assuring a kind of technical support (FLEX1978) for the last 1-2 years but we absolutely get no news on the Advanced/FSX status..... We could think the project is dead but I guess an "external" guy wouldn't lose his time working for Airsimmer if he wasn't sure the project was still alive.... don't you think ? Everything would be closed down otherwise....

    Hi Stephen, I would like to suggest you build into Opus additional control for smoothness of turns of TrackIR. At this point I set my TrackIR driver for maximum smoothness (50) but this is still not good enough to ensure the view in the virtual cockpit is not jerky. This seems to be accounted for in the Ezdok of the recent version (1.17) and works really well. Any chance you could also do it in Opus which I personally love and want to continue using for the camera view control. Thanks. Kind regards, Mike

    Interesting news at Leonardo Software...a service pack for the Maddog has been released and Davide is considering a major upgrade: "We are evaluating the development of a major upgrade to Fly The Maddog, that will include a new, fully FSX-compliant, 3D and virtual cockpit model. The project has not started yet, there is no estimate of development time and date of release. We are currently trying to find a 3D designer and already contacted a few. Of course if anyone who read this has the capabilities to work on such a project, can contact us at our support email." BTW, his support email is support-at-flythemaddog.com

    I've saved a flight at my local airport with my favourite aircraft on the ramp and I'm looking at it in the spot plane view. I save the flight and also make it the default flight. Here's the curiious part. The next time I start FSX it loads my default flight but it always loads it in the virtual cockpit view, not in the spot view that was in use when I saved the flight. But.... if I load the same flight when FSX is already running (from the Free Flight screen) it starts in the spot view just the way I saved it. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Obviously its not the end of the world if I don't solve this, but I'm really curious as to what is going on. Chee…

    Hey everyone, I'm having a problem with the lights in FSX: they're displayed as blocks (see attachment). See the red PAPI lights in there? They're red transparent blocks as you can see. I tried changing all sorts of things in the display settings, but that didn't help. Does anyone know a solution?

I actually experienced an issue and haven't managed to solve it. While waiting for their reply, has any P-38 user ever had magnetos switches issues? I couldn't swicth them to "on" position. I had to use the ctrl+e. Any ideas? Wisnu Prabowo

  25. Hi everyone, I have tried the cloud fix suggested here: http://www.simforums.com/forums/how-to-get-rid-of-annoying-flashing-clouds_topic24830.html For some reason it just isn't working for me. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? I have also just recently reinstalled fsx with acceleration following PMDGs method as described here: http://support.precisionmanuals.com/KB/a87/how-to-uninstall-and-reinstall-fsx.aspx My system is a i7 980x @ 4.2Ghz w/ GTX 480 1.5GB VRAM and 6GB of DDR3 RAM. I am running DX9 btw. I hope some people can provide some insight into this very bizarre problem because it has really stumped me. :(
