Thanks. That was it , Show all variations was not checked. Thank You

I recently completed building my new fsx box and the windows 7 64 and FSX installations went smoothly.When i got to the final step of installing the aircrafts, 737NGX,PMDG MD11 ,747 and Aerosoft Airbus A320, that went smooth as well.After installing add on liveries to the ngx,md11 and 747 i started up fsx and went to the aircraft page and found only the base aircrafts no add on liveries. All of the add on liveries are listed and numbered correctly in the fsx aircraft config.The Airbus only had one livery per variant. Could use some help Thanks Alex

Is it still possible to change the colors of the speed and alt tapes on the pfd as well as the text on the fmc? Alex

Thanks, that works great.Alex

I only have this one minor issue with FSX at the moment.My view point or eye point moves around a lot in the VC of both my Level-D and PMDG aircraft, especially when turning on the ground or in the air.How can I lock my position behind the control yoke?Thanks Alex

I continue to get CTD's with the 744-8 while on final approach to any airport default or addon in FSX.The event log in win 7 states it's a g3d.dll error which is a scenery problem but my PMDG MD11 and LDS 767 fly perfectly through out FSX with no errors at all.Again this only happens with the 744-8 and only on final approach.I've reinstalled the 744/8 several times in an effort to fix this.This is driving me nuts!Can anyone help?AlexSystem Specs:Mainboard-EVGA x58 3x SLIGraphics-GeForce GTX 285 OCFUCPU-Intel i7 950 3.07ghz (oc-4.0ghz)MEM-OCZ DDR3(6GB)OS-Windows 7 Pro x64FS-FSX SP2Activesky AdvanceGround Environment X US/CanadaUltimate Terrain X EuropeMytraffic X LiteRadar Contact 4.3

I'm having the same problem,the only difference is I'm running FSX on win7x64.The crashes only happens with the 8i and 8F under the same situations,ie on approach.I found a solution by flying the 744 8i and 8F in windowed mode instead of my normal full screen mode.Alex

Other than the failure generator, they appear to have the same features.Alex

I can't decide on fscaptain or fspassengers.Both work on the same principle, cabin and dispatch service so which do you guys consider to be the best?Alex

I keep getting CTD's when flying the 744-8i and 8f. I get these errors only when I fly the 8i and 8f variants. When I switch to the standard liveries I never get these errors.It happens sometimes in mid flight or on approach and it's very frustrating.I never get CTD's any other time with any aircraft,flying anywhere until I use the 8i and 8f variants. ThanksAlex

Found it.Thanks,Alex

Administrators:I posted to the forum yesterday and wanted to check for new replies and noticed it had been moved.It would be nice to know where!Alex

Thanks I'll give that a try.Alex

I'm also running 196.21 and uninstalled the old driver, restarted, deleted all nvidia folders, disabled win 7 auto driver installer and installed the new one. Odd thing I only get the error when running FSX.When performing any other functions my system runs perfect.Alex

After months of tweaking and reinstalling I've finally got fsx running at top performance. I've solved all major problems but one. The nvidia driver failure and recovery error.More often than not this error complettly locks FSX and i have to ctl-alt-delete to get out of it. Has anyone been able to find a fix for this? It's really frustrating to come to the end of a 7hr flight and have my graphics go into a total meltdown on approach. I have a collection of older nvidia drivers back to 186.18, would an older driver work better?Thanks,AlexMy Specs:Mainboard-EVGA x58 3x SLIGraphics-GeForce GTX 285 OCFUCPU-Intel i7 950 3.07ghz (oc-4.0ghz)MEM-OCZ DDR3(6GB)OS-Windows 7 Pro x64FS-FSX SP2Activesky AdvanceMegascenery EarthUltimate Terrain X EuropeMytraffic X LiteRadar Contact 4.3

Ok, Thanks.Alex

I've been using rcv4 for a little over a month and i'm very happy with it.My only issue so far is the very loud recorded chatter. It drowns out all other coms during preflight and inflight. It adds another element of realism to my flights and don't want to deactivate it.How can I turn down the volume?Alex

Thanks, I'll check it out.Alex

Sorry for the double post!!!I recently installed Radar Contact 4.3 and disabled fsx atc functions per the r/c instructions.All was well for a few days but now I'm experiencing random atc.dll errors that shut down fsx.I rechecked my settings and contacted r/c and was told that my settings were correct.It's happening approx 2 out of every 5 flights.AlexSystem Specs:Mainboard-EVGA x58 3x SLIGraphics-GeForce GTX 285 OCFUCPU-Intel i7 950 3.07ghz (oc-4.0ghz)MEM-OCZ DDR3(6GB)OS-Windows 7 Pro x64FS-FSX SP2Activesky AdvanceGround Environment XUltimate Terrain X EuropeMytraffic X LiteRadar Contact 4.3

I'm happy to report some initial success.After updating the drivers for my sound card, selecting the lowest sound quality, I'm able to fly from day to night without losing parts of the aircraft.I also performed a test with the aircraft(PMDG MD11) parked and switched from day to night and the VC did not disappear when the lights came on.Still can't switch from windowed mode to full screen without the screen going black but this is only when i have the pmdg 744 or md11 loaded. Still working on that one.Thanks for all the help! I very much appreciate it.Alex

Just checked for updated drivers for my sound card and there is an update available. I've installed the latest and I'm setting up a flight from LPMA to Lsgg. Will report my results.Alex

Yes, it's off. I've never used it.Also I have one other issue as if i haven't asked enough already.When switching from windowed mode to full screen sometimes the screen goes black and there is no way out but to close FSX.This and all the other problems appears to be tied to graphics drivers and how windows and FSX handles them.Alex

When you say turn off DX10, do you mean the FSX DX10 setting or the System DX10?Alex

Afternoon gents. I just entered the forum to check replies and see there are quite a few.I will carefully read through all of them and do some experimenting. I feel very good about finding a solution the my problem.Thank You Everyone.I'm sure a solution to my problem is here.Alex
