  1. A hole (I meant that) thread just for that!? Thanks @Lynchie 👊
  2. Hey thanks for the tips bud. After much fiddling I've pretty much got most things set pretty close to my comfort zone
  3. Hi oqvist I have this old yoke working better. I still need to fiddle with a bit more, especially the ailerons. I think in my impatience, I didn't take into account just how much more unforgiving the control reactions are in this new sim. Playing around with the sensitivity settings is helping ...I did finally find a rtx2080Ti for $1400.00 which included a 3 year warranty, and man, FS11 still brings it to it's knees!. I can get a steady 50fps on a 35"curved but only the one for now. Xmas is just around the corner so I have to be a good lil boy.
  4. Hmm, those really do look like high quality. Good recommendations for sure. I spotted a yoke & throttle quad by honeycomb. These might fall a little bit more in line with my budget. That 2080 Ti I have my eye on will pretty much eat up what the wifey has let me grab, funds wise. Problem is, all three items are out of stock so I have make do for a while. That brings me ask, I have an old CH FlightSim Yoke, but when I hook it up, firstly FS2020 doesn't default the controls like FSX did, and secondly, even when I program the buttons and such, the reaction in the cockpit is funky, especially the aileron/elevator controller. It doesn't center up when I release it. I've calibrated it. Does anyone have suggestions or is it just old hardware?
  5. Hello all. A few years away but excited to see if FS series will at last be able to deliver a great user experience. I'm looking for opinions on yoke/pedals for my new setup. For those who are interested I have spent the last couple of days trying to get a SaitekX45 and a CH FlightSim Yoke to calibrate properly but I'm not having any success. Thoughts and suggestions most welcome.
  6. Often times when Windows gets close to booting or actually does boot and then crashes/reboots it can be a bad stick of ram. Upgrading your VC driver and having a bad ram is certainly quite a coincidence but it's worth a try. Hopefully you know the drill, i.e: remove all but one stick of ram, boot, try again,...etc
  7. Hi Ed It seems it is a Shader rendering problem in P3D so let's hope they addressed it in 2.5
  8. I am and have been an avid user of SweetFX and cannot enjoy flying without it. I do however have a problem after a major reinstall of P3D 2.4 . SFX works fine as long as I don't access any menus. P3D reverts to default when I use either the menu bar or the right click menu. Your thoughts? Thanks!
  9. I was getting those as well so....... I stripped everything out and reinstalled P3D 2.4 Still getting the error it must be on the Windows side.............?
  10. Sure thing...... Go back to the main (Forum) menu and scroll down until you see the directX 10 page. Once there look for the "pinned" topics to get you going.
  11. Hello Robinn FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.1 //--try removing this altogether. BLOOM_EFFECTS=1 //=0 //--I find it doesn't work very well with DX10 UPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT=0 //--should be locked @ 30 in NI. (Should really be locked @ 30 in the sim) GROUND_SHADOWS=1 //=0 //--this is in the top 5 fps killer. Most scenery has built in shadows except for large buildings LENSFLARE=1 //=0 //--not ulta heavy on fps but may be the first you turn back on if fps improve LeisureBoatsDensity=40 //=25 ShipsAndFerriesDensity=40 //=25 //--if you fly heavies you really won't miss them if set to 0 CLOUD_COVERAGE_DENSITY=8 //--set this to 1 and you will still get good coverage. Reverts to 5 when changing options in FSX. If you are using manual weather, set view distance to 30 or 40 miles. Never unlimited. If you are using a weatherX, set it as such also. How many processes are running without FSX running? If you have your PC trimmed down it should be about 45 to 50 processes. ..........this for starters.....
  12. Hello Yes, I am having a fps issue. Being in this for 15 plus years I have ripped my PC, cfg's and everything else too shreds over the years. I have followed NN's tut's, Word Not Allowed's guides to the letter but cannot get the darn thing to overcome the lack of fps issue this time. My sim used to peg at 30fps even over Seattle in DX10 but now it just flutters at that 15 to 20 fps. My problem is that I can never get my fps to go beyond the 15 to 20 count! I've gone back and forth between dx9 and dx10. My PC is no slouch as seen in my Sig'. I have reduced all sliders to near left, gone to absolute desolate locations, look up at perfectly clears skies but to no avail. I have rebuilt a new cfg. I have told FSX to use high priority, ( I never did see any use in this feature but......) I still tried it. I have tried to think back to any recent changes I made on my PC/FSX but can't come up with anything For some reason I do not think it has anything to do with FSX but rather how my CPU is delivering the needed power it is capable of. I have DuckDuckgo'd for over a week but nothing. Thanks for looking into this!
  13. ......Gee Whiz Paul, what took so long? You make a preacher proud........... btw, none of my icons can be used on the top of this reply window. I wonder if it is an internet option that I disabled recently. I'll fiddle with it a little and report back if I find out why. Thanks again !
  14. Hello Some time ago Paul gave me the original Shader HLSL folder but I have since lost it. When I click on the link provided by Paul in this............ http://forum.avsim.net/topic/387343-the-how-to-doc/ thread I get the infamous error 404. This could be at my end but I'm not sure. Paul, would you mind checking to see if your link is not broken. I am in dire need of the originals so I can back track my DX10 fixer. I'm wanting to start from scratch and would like to be sure I'm starting over with the correct files in place. Thanks so much !
