Hi Julian,To be honest with you, I don't like the FPS Limiter program. This is just for me, I have set my FPS to "unlimited", you can see this on my post above with my FSX cfg settings. Again, this is just for me, today I flew into KJFK, which as everyone knows a real FPS buster, and I had a snow storm approaching. Yup my frames dropped from 40 enroute from TJSJ to about 20 as I approached Kennedy. I am even using 32bit clouds in XGraphics, but I do use the default KJFK scenery modifyed with an updated AFCAD. Now with all that said the system handled my approach and landing "fairly" well. Yes I did have some jerks and minor stutters, but running unlimited works very well for my system. I let it do the work on slowing down, when I am in a complex ugly environment like KJFK with bad weather. This is just my opinion, try what you like, but frame limiting does not work for me.Bob

Avoiding DWC and using FSUIPC for wind smoothing is actually mentioned in the AES manual. I don't use it not having FSX but I did download the manual.The clearance at three miles to proceed with landing is the "final" permission to continue landing meaning you now have exclusive landing rights and runway access without other aircraft blocking your path. Only in an emergency will you get a go-around. Your initial clearance on contacting tower just confirms your assigned runway. ATC can change your landing priority before three miles. For example at seven miles out real world tower might give a queued for take-off aircraft at the hold line or entry taxiway and expedited take-off clearance assuming that that aircraft will be past a certain separation point as you touch down and not interfere with your roll-out and runway exit.

Hi Bob,I was getting the slows when I first started using RC4 several weeks ago.( Put it down to new user error) Don't know what I did that changed that. I get cleared to land 3 miles from touch down instaed of halfway down the runway. The only thing I can think of is I changed how DWC (wind smoothing and turbulence values in fsx config) is used in conjucntion with FSUIPC. I suppose even 3 miles might be a bit close for comfort but better than on the runway.CheersJulian

Would someone who has altered their FSX config file (wind smoothing?) please tell me what you have done that will enable ASE in DWC mode to allow normal speed RC4?

Zach, please check your PM messages - I have sent you a note.

Hi Ron,Understood. RC is going very well for me now, and learning all the features. I don't know how I flew so long without it. I run it through Widefs on seperate pc and found it performs very well. In the top 10 of fs addons if you ask me.As to using DWC and fsuipc for wind smoothing, it is only for payware planes as you know, and stops those dreaded "S" turns. As far as performance goes, setting supression for wind varience, gusts and turbulence minmises the "S" turns.. It does alter the flight experience at Altitude as in no chop, but it is a small price to pay for great looking weather .The standard mode is not not an option for some, including me, due to screen flickers and stutters during weather update. Spoils the experience.CheersJulian

Hi Bob,I don't use it either. I experienced terriable stutters when I tried it. After using ******* tweaks, I have had nothing but smooth flying, clear and crisp textures, no stutters execpt sometimes in wing view when landing. I also set fps to unlimited.One I do is in task manager/processes, I set "fsx32" priority to above normal, and when I pan around it is nice and smooth.Now I wear handcuffs so I don't tweak it anymore and muck it up.CheersJulian

Hi Julian, wearing handcuffs on the tweaks is so true :( I hope that everyone who visits the forum checks one thing in their ASE settings. If you choose to check the High Priority option you are telling the system that ASE has a higher priority than RC which can cause the "slows", worth thinking about.Bob

I never thought of that Bob, that was a setting I just ignored. I am looking forward to trying the fsuipc update that suppose to adress the slows.I actuelly did not realise I was getting the slows, as been a new user of RC, I though a 15 second wait for approach to reply after making contact was the norm. :( The tutorials have helped and learning more about it each time I use it. It's great.CheersJulian

Please update FSUIPC from the links on this page updating Wideclient for network users as well to resolve some RC performance issues:http://forum.simflight.com/topic/66139-updated-modules/The modified release notes explain the improvement.In addition clarifying where ASE is on the same PC with FSX it is not necessary nor advised to place the statement "UseASEweather=Yes" in FSUIPC.ini. In this case it will automatically be applied as necessary.Thanks to Al Jordan for working with Pete Dowson on this.This applies only to FSX users.

FSUIPC 4649 will cure the RC4 "slows" with ASE DWC mode. Its a...miracle!Check it out: http://forum.simflight.com/topic/66139-updated-modules/zach

4651 is now current. It fixes another RC communications problem. See the "slows" topic.
