Could you run Dxdiag and check what version it is showing ? and have you made any changes to fsx.cfg ? as there is a D3d10

Try repairing Acceleration Andrew

Hmm, thats what I thought I should do. I ran an update of the DirectX today and it said it was all up to date. When I tried to run 3DMark 11, it said there was a prob with DirectX. Sorry for hijacking the thread. I did try the test on my Caviar blue Di but that was when the screen went.

I am thinking of selling one of my GTX470s After some testing i have found there is no real improvement in FSX or COH. I was thinking of moveing up to a 570gtx but after reading reviews its not worth it. Back to the hard drives it seems it will be to my advantage upgrade.

[VirginAus737]

The GTX 470s are not worth much at all now. I saw one at centrecom.com for $150.

yeah i would say you are right I will stick it on ebay. and run the other one till the 580s come down in price. So Andrew do you spot at YMML

I do sometimes over where the ex racehorses are and around by the tower. What area of Australia are you from?

I was from wyndhamvale.but just move to brisbane a few months ago. I was working at YMML as a works safety officer. so I was able get close to the aircraft. they had the 27/09 closed and made 16 shorter and we where working on the runway with aircraft comming in very low over our heads. All good fun

Sounds AWESOME! I would rather be pilot but working on the ground around the planes is just as good.

[shafs]

Yes we would rather be pilots. I have my PPL but don't use it. So if you have 100k you can buy the right seat at Jetstar or if you are brave you can head over to tiger and do a bit of low level stuff around YMAV

[VirginAus737]

Funny, heard all about that flying at YMAV. Still, a couple of pilots should not bring down an airline.

[shafs]

I think that the airline and pilots both have a duty of care to the pax to make sure the no one flys into the ground. i know people who work there they refuse to fly with them.
