Hi,T\P info states Directx 9 works best. my comp is using DX 11, is this hurting the T\P performance. I am running win/7, FSX sp1. tried to install DX9, not unless I uninstall dx11. allso would a flash drive work for T/P folders instead of another drive.? thanks.

I think the DX issue is a non-issue... FSX is DX9 software i.e. uses features that became available in DX9 but following versions are back-compatible. I wouldn't uninstall DX11.I suspect the scenery folder needs to be in a permanent location but TP caches can be anywhere so you should be able to place the jpgs on a flash drive if you want -- I have them scattered across several different partitions. They aren't hard coded by the installation; they only "function" as a cache when referenced in the proxyuser.ini.[COL_ms]#--------------------------------cache_folder=D:\cacheMED#cache_folder=I:\cacheSW#cache_folder=I:\cacheNPLoyd
