How about flying real-world flight routes? This is what I use:1) GET THE REAL-WORLD FLIGHT ROUTE: http://flightaware.com/statistics/ifr-route/2) CREATE THE FSIM ROUTE HERE BASED ON ABOVE: http://www.simroutes.com/fb2/ParseRoute.aspx3) GET FUEL INFO HERE: http://fuel.aerotexas.com/4) LISTEN TO LIVE OR RECORDED ATC HERE: http://www.liveatc.net/Best regards,Kerke

I am starting to fly the PMDG 737ng legacy aircraft again-- after many years, I still love this model.I wonder if you guys can help me find the best repaints for this aircraft. I am particularly insterested in current American Ailines, Delta, United/Continental and United 738 WINGLET liveries, I can also use some Southest Airlines liveries.Additionally, can you recommend the best replacement sounds set for this plane?One more thing, are there any panel modifications that are worthwile?I don't mind paying for the above repaints, sounds and panel mods so payware is fine with me.How about any improved or optimized FDE?Thank you in advance!Kerke

Does the external FPS limiter FPS_Limiter_0.2 also work with FS9?

Ecosse_821, all: Thank you so much for your input. I tweaked my FSX following Nicks guide, used Bojote's FSX.cfg and I am using the external FPS limiter. My FSX now runs as well as my FS9 used to run, very fluid!THANK YOU!Nick's Guide: http://www.simforums...topic29041.htmlBojote's Tweak-o-matic: http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.htmlExternal FPS limiter: http://www.vaafse.org/simskunkworks/...imiter_0.2.rar

THANKS!!!

Would you mind posting a link to Nick's Guide and Bojote's tweaks? Thank you!!!

I will try to run FSX on my old Dell XPS 410, which has 8GB RAM, Intel Core2 2.4GHz CPU and NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB graphics.First question, regardless of what operating system I install, will FSX be 'usable' on a weak machine like this?If I instal FSX on this machine, what OS will give me the best performance: Windows XP 32bit or Windows 7 64 bit?Thank you in advance,Kerke

northridge, thank you for your post. I avoid posting in the "official" Level-D 767 forum to avoid receiving wise-&@($* replies from that guy DShut. I've been flying the LDS 767 since it first came out many many years ago and it is still my favorite aircraft. Fortunately, I have 3 friends who fly the real-world 767 (American Airlines, United and LAN). So, to avoid Mr. WiseAss replies, I go straight with my questions to the real 767 pilots.Kerke

I am looking for advise as to what software/hardware to get to aid my transition from a 2D console FSimmer to the virtual console. Is TrackIR the best tool for virtual console flying FSX and FS9? Which TrackIR model should I get, the TrackIR 4:PRO or the TrackIR 5?Thank you in advance for your input,Kerke

Any idea when v5 will be released?

Do you mean that on the initial contact with APPROACH, when it assigns the landing runway, if APPROACH says "descend to 9000", I can ignore that and I can proceed to descend to, say, 3000 feet or whatever altitude I want without ATC complaining? How is it done in real life as far as the descend to capture the ILS approach on in line approaches?

jd, the altimeter was set OK....and yes, the problem happens when the approach is almost directly in line with the landing ILS runway.I try to make a log on my next flight.Kerke

RC4.3 FS9.1 WinXP FSUIPC LDS767Many of my perfect fligts have gone seriously wrong at the very last minute -- don't you hate when that happens? For instance, here's what happens sometimes when flying an IFR approach TNP.SEAVU2 STAR to KLAX ILS 24R/25L, also on BSR.BSR2 STAR approach to KSFO ILS 28R/28L: Right before the handoff to APPROACH, we are asked by CENTER to descend to 11000 or 12000, which we do with no problem. Then, we're asked to contact APPROACH and they assign a landing runway, no problem. APPROACH will ask us to descend to 9,000, sometime a little lower -- OK, fine. Here's the problem: we are kept high at between 6000 to 9000 feet until we're very very close to the airport. By the time we get the ILS clearance, we're too close to the airport and too high to capture the glideslope.Another example: Here's what happened to me yesterday flying from KDFW to Mexico City airport MMMX, which sits up there at 7,316 feet. Flight plan: "NELYN2 HOARY CRP J25 MAM UJ35 AVSAR MMMX". At the end of our descend with CENTER, we are asked to descend to 17,000. Then we're handed off to APPROACH. APPROACH assigned MMMX ILS 23L and got us down to 12,000. Same problem: by time APPROACH gave us the ILS 23L clearance, we were still at 12,000 -- very close to the airport and too high to capture the glideslope.Any ideas why this happens?Thank you in advance,Kerke

Thank you Bob. I downloaded nhancer 2.5.7 but I am having a hard time finding NickN's setup guide for FS9. Do you have a link to NickN's guide?

FS2004, Windows XP Pro, 4GB memory, NVIDEA 195.62 driver on a [weak] 7900GS 256MB video card.My FS9 runs well all settings maxed but I still get some jagged graphics and text (e.g. airlines name text on PMDG/LDS767 aircraft liveries). My NVIDEA control panel settings are the default values, and the Antialiasing and Anisotropic settings are set to "Application Controlled". Would it be better to control these setting in the NVIDEA control panel? What would be the best 3D settings for optimal FS9 antialiasing and anisotropic results?Thank you in advance,Kerke

I am considering a new Dell PC with Windows 7 64bit Ultimate. The two best video card options the have are either the ATI Radeon 4350 512MB or the Nvidia GT 220 1024MB. Which one would work best for FSX?I have a brand new SATA hard drive available: Should I install FSX on the new computer's Windows 7 64bit disk partition or would it be better to add a second SATA hard drive with Windows XP Pro to run FSX on the new PC with the ATI Radeon 4350 512MB or the Nvidia GT 220 1024MB?Thank you in advance,Kerke

I just purchased the 737NG 800/900 upgrade via download a couple of days ago -- I had my 737NG 600/700 installed for about a month now. The 2D side views are not showing for the 800 and 900 aircraft, they work fine for the 600/700. I am a 2D panel user so I don't really care for the VC. I uninstalled both the 600/700 and the 800/900, re-installed them both and the 800/900 2D side views are still not showing, just a black screen. Do you guys know how can I get the 2D side views to work?Thank youKerkeFS9.1, XP Pro

OK JD I give up. I sent you my RC log from Gmail this time from another location and it was rejected.

JD, I sent it to jd@jdtllc.com -- I am sending it again this time from my gmail account.Thank you

I followed the instruction on sending the RC 4.3 zipped log to JD @ jd@jdtllc.com. I keep getting a "messaged delayed" email to jd@jdtllc.com. How can I sent JD a message and the RC log if his email won't work?Thank you,Kerke

I am trying to purchase the PMDG 737-800/900 add-on to my PMDG 737NG 600/700. I add the product to the shopping cart and it shows there just fine, when I hit check out, I get a messages that says that my chopping cart is empty. Is the site down?

RC 4.3, FS9.1, WinXP Pro1) Is there any to close the RC window on FS9 and keep it closed until I want to reopen it?2) Is there any way to change the RC font size and color?3) Is it possible to use a wave editor to lower the RC recorded chat volume? This recorded chat is way too loud.Thank you,Kerke
