I was just flying a short touch and go flight with Capt Sims 757(Just Flights 757 Captian with the latest patch) today and I crashed on final! When the FSX reloaded the graphics were messed up. The sky was black and the aircraft was gone except for the nav lights and some interior parts. I tried switching planes and the same thing happens. Is this a Capt Sim problem? My other aircraft do not do this.

No, not a Captain Sim problem. Your system is suffering from memory loss. Lower your FSX settings. If this were a Captain Sim problem, everyone who owns this aircraft would be having the same problem. I'm not. Also make sure you have defragged your HD. This will help immensely as Windows does not do a very good job of installing software w/o throwing it all over the hard drive, especially FSX and addon scenery and addon aircraft programs. It's not a display driver problem either. Your settings are too high or you have something wrong with your computer system hardware.Best regards,Jim Young

I just find it funny that only the 757 Captain does it. I run PMDG,Coolsky and Wilco products and never had this problem. I also rum Vista 64 with 8 GB of ram.

The CS 757 is very demanding on textures, far more so than most other aircraft, which is of course why it looks so pretty, but also why many people complain about frame rates with the thing, so it is also likely to be the reason it caused your issue, in taxing the memory to the point where it could not dump and reload stuff properly.Not really a mystery, just the way it is with the thing; I would not expect to get away with the same settings in FSX on the CS 757 that I could with say, the Wilco 737.Al

The thing I notice is not so much frame rates, but a decided lag in loading textures. For example, go to spot view to admire your pretty airplane taxiing to the runway, then flick back to the vc. I suffer worrisome seconds of blindness before I can see through my windscreen. I don't usually even notice it anymore, except when I do it near someplace where two or three seconds matters in running onto the grass or not.

I just looked over at the Unofficial CS forum hosted here on AVSIM and didn't see anyone else having the issues you are describing with the CS757. When the aircraft first came out there were problems but it appears CS has fixed the problems. At least I'm not having the issues you describe and I certainly have a system lessor than yours. Even with a Vista 64 bit system you shouldn't run everything with the sliders on max. Remember, FSX was made for 32 bit systems and so were the CS products. Perhaps that may be the issue you are encountering but then I haven't heard of anyone else with a 64 bit system complaining about the CS757 performance. If I were you I would set up a special FSX.cfg that works that you can load anytime you run the CS757. Hope you can figure out what's causing the problem(s).Best regards,Jim Young

There was the other post here from the guy who thought at first it was IE 8, then blamed Captain Sim. Sounds like the same thing.Having said that, I agree no problems here. And since tracking down CS 757 squawks has occupied most of my free time recently, this is one that doesn't seem to be an issue. There are so many variables, unless something is consistently reported, I have a hard time attributing it to a particular product, especially the way we like to screw around with our setups.As far as maxing out sliders, no way! "High" is labelled high for a reason, and is good enough for me, even though sliders are far from the right. I think some of those settings are like the "11" on the guy's amplifier in Spinal Tap. One advantage of getting older is you tend to be more comfortable with compromises :-)Do you have IE 8? ;-)

Good post Tim! At least one person agrees with me.... LOL. I would be surprised if IE8 were at fault too. A corrupted DLL.XML (which usually gets corrupted everytime you install the Wilco 737) or lack of the FSUIPC are the two major culprits I have seen when people have problems with the CS757. Like your signature Tim! Best regards,Jim Young
