Baffled by XP12 crashes
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?

Lossless Scaling Maximum Settings-Stunning!
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.

Grainy, pixellated textures
Make a separate installation of Xplane 12 with no addons and see what it looks like.

FSR and RCAS settings?

Rebulding scenery database at every startup
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.

FS Academy On Instrument?
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

New monitor - resolution for FSX?
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

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.

Unusual start up problem. Can you help?
Also, delete default flight and set up a new one. You'll get it worked out one way or another.

TwinOtter Ext vs BN-2, FPS-wise
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.

To FSX Users on the Fence................FS98
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.

Flight planning apps
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

Flight planning apps
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

My new rig in chill-out mode.
Randall replied to slip-stream's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcOverclocking programs can be a bit too aggressive. Watch voltages and temps closely.

Need advice between two planes to purchase next.
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

Need advice on a New Computer
+1 Though if you have a very good CPU, a GTX 770 work well. I concur with others, better deals are out there.

Drop in FPS before getting approach instructions
Are you using onboard sound? Try a discrete soundcard. Randall

Flight1 King Air B200
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

Apparently, the throttle issue with the F1 King Air is easily solved with a simple edit in FSUIPC. Randall

Looking for a new weather engine, wait for REX4 Weather Direct or?
ASN for the weather no doubt. However, I've indeed been tempted to get Opus for the extras. Randall

Flight1 King Air B200
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
