I have picked up some stutters also the last few weeks. Never thought about simlink but will test a bit. Dave

Jcmmg Thanks for the write up.... I have been trying to figure out the FMC for a day... 2.1 and 8 were driving me nuts. Carenado has some work to do here. I can care less about the price and the so called "update" to the 550, just make it work right. Dave

Jeff,I see your point of view as far as PC as the superior gaming machine. The 360 is to me not the console to run a Flight sim, but the PS3 has the ability to do it. In fact just hook up a USB keyboard and mouse and the basically have a PC. Some have even loaded Windows on the PS3. Microsoft trying the flightsim world on a 360 would not surprise me at all. In fact I am shocked it has not happened yet.Back to the original point topic, chasing the PC Hardware world gets old and expensive. And like I said it seems that developers would be more inclined to create add-ons due to the simple fact of one machine they have to work with, not multiple types of PC's with multiple configs.No offense taken either Jeff, I am still there in the PC world. But the console world seems to be coming on strong.

Jeff,Why is the console market a "dreaded" market in your opinion. Now, I am by no means an expert between console's and PC's. But I own a PS3 and a 360 and I am amazed and what they can do.To me ( again to me ) developers have one machine to gear products too and not multiple PC machines with who knows what kind of owner / owners behind it. The only problem might me the add-on market, but both Sony and Microsoft have marketplaces for add-ons already, so that might not be a problem, I don't know.I know it's a bit off topic. But I am curious so sorry mod's I am going off topic.

My opinion,I consider myself a somewhat avid simmer. I am tired of chasing FS products, meaning I am tired of building new machines, upgrading and so on. It used to be fun, now it's more of a pain in the rear end more than anything. Of course Jim is right, come fall into winter I might think again with being stuck inside all the time, but I am not sure this year. Flight simmming for me is to the point of "What can be better?" And if it is better am I going to spend the money to get the most out of it. I am just not sure anymore.

I'll chime in here also. I had not flown for awhile I am on my third flight of the day. First flight no SP3, did not realize there was a service pack. After the first flight I updated and I too have picked up this haze layer above 3000ft. No blue skys at all and it makes this haze layer makes clouds look a bit funky.Every thing good though with SP3 except for that.

Good, I am not alone.

Uugh, so simple. That will work fine, thanks Jim.Edit: since I double posted, one other question. With future updates is it possible to give a final ZFW weight? You can go into FSX "Fuel and Payload" section and just add the #'s. But it would be nice to see that somewhere in Xpax. Just a suggestion, take it or leave it.

Uugh, so simple. That will work fine, thanks Jim.

Hey Jim, DamianFor the Feelthere 737's is there a way to set max seating? I have gone through the config files and don't see a way to do it. All other planes seem to be right.Enjoying Xpax - Good job guys!! :)

Yep, played with a bit this morning. Pretty cool!! :)

I just bought the Columbia this past weekend. I lock my system @ 20 and I got a very minimal FPS hit in FSX. I am running UT for FSX and I also run autogen on sparse ( which is plenty for me ). System specs down below. I too was a bit worried on how it would run on my older machine but it has done fine.

>Two thumbs up here for Active Sky X :-)>>BryanAgreed, It's a must have!! :)

You might just start over and delete the CFG file and let FSX build a new one and go from there. You have done some tweaking though looking throught your CFG file.

Rhett and Victor,Never thought about that, I will give that a try.Thanks Guys!!
