Something seems to be wrong with livery textures. Aren't they too large? Maybe PMDG should release lower resolution liveries instead of McPhat's-like 16 MB beasts? However I suppose their new Livery Manager can manage only big ones.

During my second flight, I suffered a panel then simulator freeze (clicking the mouse a second time). The freeze occured when I selected the top entry on the CDU legs page (1LSK) for Direct To (see full description below). Flight & Flight Plan Flight Plan: Updated AIRAC. KPHL to KPHL via DQO. No CID or STAR. Take off Runway 27L, land 27R with MENGE (sp?) selected as runway transition. Flew to DQO via LNAV and VNAV, 250kts, but only up to 5000ft MSL. Manual turn half way to DQO to heading 088 and slow descent down to 2000ft (yeah, I know, a little low), flew past MENGE (sp?), first waypoint for 27R), manual turn to intercept flight path. Slowed to 180 knots before the turn. CDU was undocked from before take off, no other panels open. Clicked MENGE on the CDU LEGS page for direct to, and the sim froze up without recovery. Error message at the top of the CDU window said "not responding", and the entire FSX display went pale. Could not get a screen shot (tried, just got the Windows "Ding". FIX? First, I have no idea if this made a difference, but as of yet I haven't suffered another freeze. Before installing the 737NGX I already had the following tweaks applied (I used FSL_TextureFix_v1.1 utility for these tweaks): HIGHMEMFIX=1STALE_BUFFER_THRESHOLD=2147483647TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=400TextureMaxLoad=9SOUND_QUALITY=1SOUND_LOD=0UsePools=0PoolSize=85000000 After the freeze occured, added the following tweaks to the FSX Config file. I have no idea if this made a differnce, but I haven 't suffered a freeze since (fingers crossed): 1.[JOBSCHEDULER]AffinityMask=n I set this to 15 since I'm running a Quad processor.

So Someone have a solution to this Problem?

Hi, I have the same problem than Brenchen on free flight view if i wait a few minutes! After when i launch the flight no problem at all! I use Driver 275.33 on 580 GTXI have a fresh install of FSX Gold (Aceeleration SP2 included) withe no addon!I use HIGHFIXME=1 and TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=4096 like you toldI use Bufferpools usepools=0 but if i remove it same problem so bufferpool is not responsable! Here is my FSX.cfg if you can help us to resolve this problem! Thanks for your answer this plane is fantastic! Sorry for my English i am French!

What cpu you got core??

I have I7 2600K Standard Frequency HT On or Off I have this problem!

In my 737NGX I have cockpit textures shown on this image: http://imageshack.us...s/847/7372.jpg/ Could you tell me if this is normal resolution or it is lowered for some reason?

Wiking, I'm experiencing the same issue with the VC textures: I set flight simulator and the fsx.cfg file as required, but the result is as per thepicture above.Is it normal?

Well I never had the problem (so far) with anything in-game yet, hope it stays that way. It's just that "Free Flight" screen is playing up that's all...

So Is there a solution to the skeleton view on free flight Screen?

I've submitted a ticket, but have yet to hear from them yet.

Ok tell me what they think about this small problemas soon as possible! Thanks!

I've just did a fresh install, reg clean and defrag my FS partition. Reinstalled, applied SP1 + SP2 and NGX and that's it, literally nothing else. In the aircraft.cfg I've added HIGHMEMFIX=1 and TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=4096, and changed it from full screen to windowed. The problem is still here, and now when the aircraft went into that skeletal mode, the whole screen is really slow, as in refreshes once every few seconds. Can some devs or beta testers give me some help please?

After installing FSX you really need to run a flight for a couple of minutes with a default aircraft. Then restart the PC and install SP1. Repat the process of a flight and then restart again before installing Acceleration/SP2 This is a known FSX bug from Microsoft where if you install all three without this running of the sim in between the internal configuration can get messed up. This often manifests itself as a "skeletal" aircraft with missing parts and textures. Not with all aircraft, but some high detail ones. It not only affects PMDG but a lot of the top end payware aircraft (almost at random sometimes) This skeletal plane thing is a regular issue we deal with in the PC Pilot Magazine mailbag. Give it a try and see if it helps you? all the bestJane

Brendan,I'm getting the same thing as you can see in my post here... http://forum.avsim.net/topic/342630-skeleton-model-in-freeflight-screen/ Cheers

I have I7 2600K Standard Frequency HT On or Off I have this problem!

Change your Affinity Mask to =15 buddy for quad core machine unless its different

No Affinity Mask = 14 is better when HT is offAffinity Mask = 84 is better when HT is On The problem isn't coming from the setting of Affinity Mask!

OK I think we may have a winner! Jane's way worked for me. If you are getting problems with texture on "Free Flight" screen, HIGHMEMFIX and TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD will NOT do it for you. If it bothers you enough, reinstall, but this time, when you have reinstalled an update, let the sim run (flying in-game) for couple of minutes. Which means, install FSX, go into it and fly for couple of minutes Do the same when you install SP1, fly few minutes, then SP2/Accel. Hope it works for others as well.
