Thanks That sorted it. Jim

Guys I read this thread with interest but I think I have missed something. There is talk here of having N1 readings of 100%+ but I can't get anything above 98%. Is there something I need to do to achieve those higher N1 readings? Regards Jim Mclean

Might be just my machine then! I do get quite low fps at times so it may just be the program running slow. I'll try it again a long way from complex addon scenery and turn some P3D slider down and see if I get an improvement. Jim Mclean

Has anyone else noticed a significant increase in flap transit time since the Jan 16 update. Cleaning up after landing going from 30 to up now takes 1min 25 sec as opposed to 59 sec before the update. Extension times are also increased but I haven't timed those. Does anyone know whether this change was: a. Intentional? b. making it more or less realistic? Does anyone know what the transit time on the real aircraft is to go from 30 to up? Regards Jim Mclean

Known problem mentioned somewhere in the manuals and elsewhere on the forum. Only happens when you have landing lights switched on! Well that's how it is with me.RegardsJim Mclean

Thanks for all the advice but replacing the 700's panel.cfg files from a back up I had made has solved the problem with the erroneous graphics. I didn't see any obvious errors in the files I replaced but the results speak for themselves.Jim

No. What I have noticed is it is only my 600/700 that is affected. My 800/900 is OK as is my 747-400. I think I need to study the panel.cfg in a bit more detail. I'll let you know how I get on.Jim

No to both of the above.Jim

Any ideas anybody?Jim

Thanks RonOne thing that I have discovered since my first post is that if I let FSBuild launch Gatekeeper then it sees my add-on Afcads but if I launch it by double clicking the application icon then it won't look at any of my add-ons. How weird is that!!?Maybe I miss-understood something about the use of it and it should be used from FSBuild, I don't know, but at least I've got a way of using it now.RegardsJim

Does anyone know how to get support for the Gatekeeper application? I've tried the email in the application help window ([email protected]) but it just bounces. Alternatively, does anyone have an answer to my problem? I've down loaded the latest version (1.2.6), which is supposed to recognise add-on AFCADS - but it doesn't!RegardsJim

I can confirm that I am suffering sudden wind changes with the default live weather. I am finding it causing 15-20 degrees of heading swing and 30-40 kts of airspeed change even with something as heavy as the 747. It sometimes gets in to a rhythm of a swing each way every few seconds. Makes accurate approaches somewhat difficult!!RegardsJim

Can anyone explane the correct way to use the NOTBEFORE syntax when writing SIDSTAR files? I can not figure it out!Jim

I also suffered this problem, as posted else where on this thread. I emailed Marc Philibert as it seemed the only common theme to all of our problems was FSUIPC and FS2004. He suggested that "Render to texture" in the display hardware settings should be unchecked. I followed his advice and hey-presto no more flickering. This also doesn't have any noticeable effect on frame rate so not really sure what it was far.Jim

>Hi Vic,>>Thanks for all the info...>>Here are the facts so far (anyone please help add/modify list>if you can):>>1) Happens with Nvidia Geforce 3 or 4 only>2) Only happens with wxRE running>3) Happens only in FS2004, not FS2002>4) Happens with FSUIPC 3.02 or 3.03>5) Driver changes do not help>6) Flickers occur during wxRE processing>>>Can someone confirm all these?
