I was wondering if you have had any solution to this problem? I'm having the same drop in frame rate just like yours and it is so frustrating. Anybody else has a solution? ThnxGus

James,If you have FS Build, you can follow this link and you can also change the KGS to LBS. I have been using this and works well only I have to add 15K-20K lbs of fuel to the final "REQD" fuel on the FS BUILD FP sheet. Thnxhttp://www.fsbuild.com/forum/viewtopic.php...a48c44fb300d4b6 Gus

Jim,I will try that also. ThnxGus Andy,Thanks for the tip. ThnxGus

Jim,I'm happy to report that just after removing or un-checking the "HPP" on ASA, I have not experience a single freeze on my 3hrs into a 6hr flight. This is something I have never experienced with ASA in all these months. Although I would say the jury is not out yet, but all the same this is working and thank you for that in the mean time. Thnx Gus

Jim,I have now un-checked " Forced High Priority Processes". I will try that with my next flight and report. I will also set affinity to core 2 and see what happens, and YES after a time FSX will unfreeze and run again. I must add that during these freezing period, the aircraft engine sound can be heard and if I happened to be at desktop, when this happens; any window that I will open and close will leave a "ghost" like image on the now FSX window screen. ThnxGus

Hi Folks,I have had this issue of ASA freezing my FSX in consistence basis with every build and BETAS since I bought it in just two days after it was released. I have searched the forum and it looks like every issues similar to mine was solved in a different manner therefore I have decided to post today for help. I have not been able to complete a single flight with ASA (not even 1-HR) without it freezing up FSX.FSX----SP2 w/ ACC (Full Screen)Win Vista 32 SP2Q6700 2.664-Gig MemATI HD 4850 1GB Drv vers 9-5 (same for all previous ver)ASA build 433FSUIPC 4.520 RegBCK GRD programs PFE Ver 2.11, FS realtimeThe above information is to help detect my problem and I also close all programs before FSX with smartclose. I have to confess also that ASX B1169 does the same thing ONLY not as repetitious as ASA and does not last longer as ASA. ASX will freeze FSX in once, twice or never in flights up to 13 hours real time and have to revert to it always to complete my flight when this issue with ASA comes up. ASA can freeze and last as long as ten minutes while ASX freezes for just three minutes. This comparison again is to show the level or the intensity of ASA issues that I'm having. I have not brought this to the forum all this while because I thought the SP1 with its improvement was going to fix whatever performance issues with this in my end and as said earlier, even I'm having the same problems with beta versions. Thanks for your support.Gus

Dave,I'm set up to use the SHFT+CTRL+ENTR to move from right to left and the BACKSPACE to move forward and backward, but in the CS 752 these sequence are moving too fast and either pass where I want to be or just even move out of the cockpit in just one or two taps.By the way, I'm not talking about the default VC (F9). It is rather when you hit the letter "A" to change view from the default VC to enter the "Captain's view or another "A" to enter F/O's view. This is where the problem is at, not the default which works perfectly well. Can someone try this and see a different result?

Tim,It's not working for me at all. The turning of the head works fine as any other plane that I owe. It is the movement from one seat to other or trying to "sit" down, I'm having trouble with. It "runs" away from me (so to speak) and never get the correct orientation that I'm looking for. By the way, this also happens in the wing view when I try to adjust view.....It goes faster that normal. ThnxGus

Hi Fellows,I just bought the CS 752 and was wondering how to slow down the speed in adjusting views from the virtual cockpit (Captain's & F/O's seat)? This is from using the KB to adjust to left-right to find comfortable views of the instruments. Every payware or even freeware plane that I have works slowly in doing this, but somehow the CS is too fast as I hit CTRL-SHFT-ENT or CTRL-SHFT-BACKSPACE, to move left/right...It's quickly out of focus. Any help would be appreciated much.Gus

I think (although still experimenting) the work around on this is by going to task manager and then back for FSX. I have tried this on four occasions and seems to restore the keying issues. ThnxGus

Paul,I installed 7.12 and had the same problem and when I tried to go to 7.11 as yours, to my surprise, it won't install the driver. The same problem I was having with my X1650PRO 512 just before I went to 8800GTS. I think or beginning to think I need another VC. thnxGus

I first realise about the hotkeys, but that wasn't the problem. thnx Gus

Fellows,I'm currently having some keyboard issues within FSX. I have recently discarded my 8800GTS (640)for Radeon HD3850 (512)and ever since, whenever I go to FSX, I can't use the keyboard keys. They seem to lock up. I cannot use the "S" key to cycle through the views, I cannot use the infamous "SHFT+Z' key and neither can I use the "P" key. The only thing that works is the "ALT" key to access the menu. Apart from that, when I exit FSX and come to desktop, I experience some kind of residue of the problem where my icons are all attached to each other and by clicking one, activates all with the FSX icons as the lead. Everything seems okay and running fine. I have tested both 8.1 and 8.2 drivers with the same result. I should mention that I'm using Vista 32. Anybody knows what this is? ThnxGus

>You eliminated the common problem by clearing the wx... now a>screen shot or two might help get a feel for the problem>you're having.Dan,I have never taken a screen shot before, so that might be a challenge. In any event, after several hours(5-HRS of flight time) of this see-saw affair, I decided to disengage the autopilot, manually climbed to the actual flight level (FL350....the aircraft at this point was descending to FL280 because it did not respond to the step climb command to FL350 from FL330), and then after reaching there, I leveled and flew it for awhile still manually. After few seconds, I re-engaged the autopilot and everything was fine for the remainder of the flight. I will see what will happen on my next flight and report. ThnxGus

I can now confirm that, whatever that is happening is NOT weather related (the notorious wind shift). I see that the entire vertical profile of the flight automations have "broken down". The aircraft keeps joggling up/down the vertical axis without control. It keeps going down to FL310 or as high as FL385 although it's to fly at the programmed level of FL330. It will not respond to changes like FLCH or the VERT SPD 9no problems with LNAV and A/P). I have not done any modificationS to this add-on and as I said previous flightS were all successful. This happens to all engine variants. Please help if you know the reason as even with weather cleared and off this happens. ThnxGus

Hello,I have recently (on two recent flight....744X) experiencing VNAV problems. With autopilot, FD, LNAV all engaged in mid-flight, the plane does not keep the programmed altitude. Neither will it even respond to ALT HOLD command. I'm currently on a flight to WMKK at a programmed initial flight level of FL330. However, about an hour into the flight, this wield thing started happening and has been going on for the next three hours. I have checked and cross checked everything and cannot pinpoint it to anything right now. I should mention that, I'm flying at normal rate (real-time), with FSUIPC 4.20 (REG), ASX/XG,XPAX and PFE. Again my other previous 50 flights were all uneventful. Any help will be appreciated. ThnxGus

S-O-L-V-E-DHello,For those interested in this discussing and was halving the same problem as mine (Not having FSX to recognize British Airway call-sign "speedbird')I have found the solution to it. The PMDG FSX version does not see the "Airlines CFG" speedbird (lower cases). I tried LVD767 and saw that on the detail section in FSX when you select your aircraft, their version had "SPEED BIRD" and FSX ATC called "Speed Bird". I then copied this (SPEED BIRD)to PMDG British Airways, but then inside FSX, it only showed as "speedbird" and still ATC did not recognize the call sign. I then right away had an idea to add 'SPEED BIRD" to the Airline CFG and behold it works. PMDG probably needs to look into this, but was anybody having the same problem? Thnx Gus

>hi Gus,>>change this...SPEEDBIRD to this...Speed Bird>>ATC will recognize the call sign now.>>>> happy flyin, Tim WheelerHi Tim,I just tried that and still didn't help. ThnxGus

>Gus,>Locate the config file entry for your BA livery and check to>see if the atc_Airline entry reads Speed Bird with a space>between Speed and Bird.Pete,I checked and it had "SPEEDBIRD". All in caps and I changed it to match my airline.cfg "Speedbird", but that did not help as ATC continues to call it without the call sign. Do you have the repaint (this is from PMDG website)? and does it do the same as mine? If yours is any different, can you post your CFG for comparison? Anyway, any idea about the FMC MSG? ThnxGus

Hello Happy New Year Everyone,On the 744X "British Airways' lively, there is already a call-sign Speedbird, but the MSFSX ATC does not call it. The ATC for some reason does not call "speedbird XXX for the 744X. However, it calls it for the ai British Airways Airliners. I'm using the same "Airline.CFG" as I used for the FS9 version which was okay then. Am I doing something wrong?On unrelated issue, what does "Split IRS Program" means (FMC MSG)? This happened on a flight along the polar lines (UAL897-KIAD-ZBAA...flightaware.com....real world flight plan in real time.Is this equivalent to "IRS NAV ONLY' on the 767? Flight went on with no glitches though. ThnxGus

Hello,Just a short question. I tried to change the announcement from 'Flight Attendance prepare for take-off/landing" to 'Cabin Crew.......Take-off/landing' After I saved it with the MS world editor, the announcement on my next flight was the same old one. What do I need to do? ThnxGus

Fellows,I wonder if anybody knows how to increase the pan rate for the virtual cockpit when you hit the "A" key from the original VC. This view is very very slow and at times hard to pan. Does anybody have an idea where the camera view for this is and how to make the pan as faster as the normal VC? ThnxGus
