Good day,I have long been gone from the sim world due to my RL flying career development, but now I decided to go back.I have used most of the tips from this forum to setup my FS9 sim as well as my hardware.The sim runs relatively smooth except random drop of performance in 2D panel view.I have 35-40fps on average with smooth sim, then all of a sudden it drops to 6-7 fps.When I change the view to VC or Spot view then sim 'restets' its fps back to the good level.I would appreciate your expert review of my settings and pointing out where I might have gone wrong.Here's my hardware setup:HP Pavilion HDXIntel Core2 Duo CPU T9300 at 2.50GHzInstalled RAM: 3,00GBOS: Windows & 32bitGraphic Card: GeForce 8800M GTS 512MBResolution: 1920x1200Driver 197.16nHancer

Hallo everybody,Been a while since I actively used Flight Simulator, but I still owe a lot to this great community which helped me progress with my real life flying career.I am flying the B200GT version of the Kingair now and have some videos I would like to share with you.here they are: Comments welcome!Thanks for watching!Dom aka N4865G

Pardon me if this question sounds lame, but do I want to downgrade my Vista 64 to DX9 if I run DX10?Thanks for claryfing this one for me.Dom

Yes, I fly for the fractional ownership operator and we do collect and service our aircraft at EDAZ (Schoenehagen).You need to talk to Jan Peter Fischer, who is a MD for Cirrus Germany.Best regardsDom

Thanks Onur,It's a coincidence - same model, airport but different aircraft.ThanksDom

Hallo all, some pics from my recent flight in a brand new SR22 Turbo.Hope you enjoy them.PFDhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/194013.jpgTwin GNShttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/194014.jpgIn preparation for arrival...http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/194015.jpgBerlin as seen from FL100http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/194016.jpgBerlin's recently closed Tempelhofhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/194017.jpgRegards,Dom

Thanks for your help,Dom

Hallo everybody,I got to the point of serious remodelling of my house and looking for space I decided to change my stationary PC for a top-of-the-line laptop computer.What is the best option I have below 2500usd with 17' monitor which will allow for much improved performance to what I get at the moment (see my specs below).Thank you very much indeed for your help,Best regardsDom

Hallo again,Thank you for the clear step-by-step explanation on how to get around this limitation.Does it mean, that in case of a shortcut from the ATC and bypassing one or more waypoints this modification in the RXP430 would have to get exported to the flight plan again?ThanksDom

Thanks a lot for your help,Very clear.CheersDom

in FSX I mean.Are they compatible?Would the PFD and MFD draw the information from the Reality XP 430 unit installed into this plane?By the way, since we are already on SR22, is there any special CH throttle quadrant necessary to allow the throttle level operate like the original one (combined throttle/prop).I found the throttle lever in my CH moves the power lever in the SR22, but it only changes the MP in the sim, not the prop rpm. Thanks in advance,Dom

Thank you Tim!Exactly what I needed,CheersDom

Is there a way to remove some of the view categories one moves accross pressing the 'A' button (view withing the category that is)?I would be willing to leave just the two of them and skip the rest.Now I need to press the 'A' button several times to get to the view I want to see.Having it limited to just the two I could assign the button on my CH yoke to that particular view. Or perhaps alternative approach by assigning a button to particular view category via FS menu or FSUIPC?Thanks for your help,Dom

Great!Thanks for your help,CheersDom

Gents,Apologize for 'stealing' this thread, but given autogendesriptions are no longer needed to be changed how one can get rid of the powerline masts slicing through the scenery?ThanksDom
