  1. I don’t believe I saw it mentioned where overheating might be a culprit. Are all your fans running properly? Do you need to clean out dust?
  2. Yes. Happens when you click on the chart monitor and lose focus of the main monitor. You can click back on main monitor and get it working again but it’s aggravating. I figured it was a Windows thing.
  3. Make a separate installation of Xplane 12 with no addons and see what it looks like.
  4. Had this problem. Found the culprit in I believe the exe.xml file. There was an erroneous entry. Might have been the dll.xml file.
  5. I did buy this but have had very little time with it. Good documentation. Went through a tutorial or two--very well done and pretty thorough. Took one flight check and failed it--pretty picky but it is attempting to train you well. Again, I have had very little time with it--probably less than an hour so my opinion is very tentative but initially it seems to deliver what it promises. Hope this helps. Randall
  6. I was hesitant to get the ultra wide but finally did and love it. Got an LG ultrawide 34 inch (wouldn't get anything smaller), 2560X1080. I use Ezdok and have no trouble with the somewhat limited height. Very immersive. With DSR it's amazing! Randall
  7. Glad to have helped. Not sure about flagging your post as answered. Randall
  8. Are you using a powered USB port? Might need one if your cyclic is drawing too much power and you are using a number of USB connections.
  9. Also, delete default flight and set up a new one. You'll get it worked out one way or another.
  10. Have both. Both are great fun to fly. The Twin Otter, however, is way above the Islander in graphics and system modeling. Both have great frame rates. I imagine the Twin Otter would be slightly harder on frames than the Islander. Hate for you to miss the Twin Otter. Do what you can to get it and fly it.
  11. I've been away from the boards for quite a number of weeks. After coming back and reading about Tom, I really appreciate this thread. By the way, no one has mentioned FS98's beautiful purple sky. Boy I miss that. Yeah, I know there was a "fix" but that just made it so unrealistic.
  12. Appreciate the suggestions and will look at these programs. However, I was indeed asking abut mobile apps. Want something to go on a Kindle or other tablet. Sorry I wasn't more specific. Randall
  13. Any recommendations for a good flight planning app or apps. Looked at Sporty's and others but wondered if anyone was using them for FSX and recommendations. Also, why does the search field disappear at the top of the forum page? Thanks. Randall
  14. Overclocking programs can be a bit too aggressive. Watch voltages and temps closely.
  15. The Twin Otter really is a great plane. A lot of fun to fly with good accuracy of the systems. You need to follow startup procedures and monitor engines. You won't be disappointed. Randall
  16. +1 Though if you have a very good CPU, a GTX 770 work well. I concur with others, better deals are out there.
  17. Are you using onboard sound? Try a discrete soundcard. Randall
  18. Just got it myself. Usually fly simpler GA planes. This one really is quite unique with the Garmin 1000 and fun to fly. Will probably keep it though a 30 day money back guarantee doesn't hurt. Just saying. Randall
  19. Apparently, the throttle issue with the F1 King Air is easily solved with a simple edit in FSUIPC. Randall
  20. ASN for the weather no doubt. However, I've indeed been tempted to get Opus for the extras. Randall
  21. I started a somewhat similar thread a few days ago that might be helpful: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/453919-looking-for-another-plane/ Randall
  22. Surprised not to find a module for this aircraft. Anyone working on a module for it or have some experience with this aircraft and LINDA? Randall
