here's the deal, i've had active sky v6 for a couple of weeks now and i had a problem with my fs9 crashing (screen goes totally blank) when i went into dawn textures when i first got the program. so i took you guys advice, swallowed some pride and uninstalled my fs9 (losing all the addons i worked so hard to get:o( and reinstalled it and added some of my previous addons and the game worked great with asv6 (thanx). so recently i bought the ultimate terrain from flight one software, and since i've install this program my fram rates are affected and the game is back to crashing on me when i fly at night after about 10 minutes of flight, i haven't really tried flying in the day time so i don't know if it does the same thing......right now i'm very fustrated so ive descided to take a break from the sim, and get some help from you guys....please! any ideas?

Hi,Disable residentual streets and lighting. Then see what happens. Could also be a video driver issue.Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development TeamActive Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter

thanks jim for the input. i tried both suggestions and still no help with the frame rate problem or the crashig issues, any other ideas? my processor is 2 gigs, my ram is 1.5 gigs, my video card is a 512 megabite gegorce nvidia 6200, and i'm running a 81.98 driver (which worked pretty good before ultimate terrain was added) i tried a later version, but i had issues with it, and windows didn't suggest that i download it 'cause it wasn't tested. so anyway, i believe i have enough power to run ultimate terrain and activesky....right?

Hi,I would get a hold of Flight1 and see what they say. They work fine together on my system. Yes, you have enough power!Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development TeamActive Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter

They went to the 3D-gurunet site and found and earlier release that solved what is basically the same problem. Ron_CYEGhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/pmdg_pf.jpg
