  1. Thanks Scott, i won't alter any settings for nor run the wx engine and just use opus. The reason i mention asky is because at some point i had it and not sure how i uninstalled it, and if i restored the original textures including the fog fix and haze. Which btw i never noticed a difference.
  2. So unlike activesky there is no fog or haze or mist effects which would interfere with opus. I thought i heard of a redesigned effect when disabling say fog layer in activesky anyway? Did rex not alter any of those ?
  3. Is there anything to do besides disabling rex wx engine when migrating to opus, example is there a setting for haze or fog effect that should not be active when using opus, i know asky uses a haze and fog effect. But cant find anything within rex textures that should be undone prior to using opus, what did you do in rex?
  4. I'm pretty sure i heard cabin announcements pre takeoff but maybe i was to busy in other phases of flight and didn't hear them, anyways i'll up the volume a bit more and see.And glad to hear that possibly some responses from pre flight, don't come through the headset!
  5. My FO is working well, but as for cabin announcements, i made sure to turn up the volume, but am wondering if they make announcements in most phases of flight. I also have AES and fspassengers. I only hear fs2crew cabin at begining of flight like while taxing???I'm guessing i'll let fspassengers handle doors, because of AES and the timing i have to shut doors while pax are boarding. What do you think?And lastly when i click preflight and speak commands, i don't hear them in headset example the engineer, only the FO, is this normal?
  6. Guys can anyone explain why 16 MS AA has worse FPS and benchmark result than 32X with latest furmark and latest nvidia 260 driver on my new gtx 480 at stock speeds?I cant explain it, regardless of resolution, full screen or windowed all the same results, my frames are much less in 16x than 32x and my score is low temps are the same. We aren't talking a few frames 16xaa in furmark shows an average of 24 and i get 53 with 32x. Why would the 32 run much smoother and give better results than 16x? ALso in a game 16 is slightly faster and 8 is even faster and none (AA) super fast. In games it makes sense.
  7. Im trying to get xguage to pop up as a seperate window over my panel, but it seems to only go behind it as if it had no priority, anyway to get it on the main screen on top of other windows/views?Thanks!
  8. Hey guys,I would like to have my main view and an additional spot plane view on the other monitor is this possible with 2 video cards one being gtx 285 and other gtx 460?so basically one computer 2 big monitors on independantly on 2 separate video cards?i7 4.16gb of ramwin 7asus p6td dx2 hard drives
  9. Im currently just playing around with the idea of upgrading or overclocking my video card, im trying to get over 700 mhz core speed on my 285, although i know i can, is it really worth it or does it not change anything for FSX? I like this card and clearly it is the 512 bit card i have and am acheiving nice results although a little more fluid and a few more frames will always help. THerefor upgrade or overclock. Other system specs,i7 ocled to 4.2ocz 1600 CL8 (planning on upgrading to 1600 cl6 if worth it) 3x2gbASus p6td deluxgtx 285 bfg oc2Velraptor for fsxNickn guide and latest nhancer
  10. We do get what we pay for but in general unless you can go 32x AA on newer cards i would not spend $400 on a video card that would only give me 3 or even 5 frames/second. Logically would you spend $100/frame. As for ram too, i guess it would work out to an expensive worthless upgrade. In general if i get better image quality 32x AA because of video card upgrade and smothness because of cl6 lower latency ram then i would make the jump. Question is at what price!So basically cl8 1600 to cl6 1600 ramand gtx 285 to gtx 480?THis is a hot topic i see!!
  11. Sounds good it did sound ridiculous, however graphic card upgrade can be useless too for fsx I currently own a gtx 285 and fsx is all about CPU anyway. What do you guys think?
  12. By fastest do you mean mem speed in MHz or latency because I can go upto 2000mhz but the best latency is 8 as for 1600 cl6 may run equivalent to 2000 to cl8, so hmmm is speed really better?
  13. I currently run CL8 1600 mhz ddr3 triple channel 6gb ram and would like to know if CL6 is way better and worth the upgrade? My i7 is being overclocked with the rams.FOr use of FSX mainly!
  14. Ah i see alot of people reported this would not work in fsx unlike fs9?
  15. What do you mean by (Avoid the TextureMaxLoad= with a TBM of 400)?
  16. Really with fsx, I thought we shouldn't go that high but i'll try, thanks!
  17. Ummm it has to do with the 767 which i paid money for.
  18. Thanks guys, sasme here i liked the idea but its messy.Thanks!
  19. See i understand all this and i followed those other sites to the letter, but a high bufferpool helps with all around textures, i noticed your reserving 1 mb of your video card. Unless of course 1 mb is enough to reduce white flashes, out of curiosity do you get and graphic vertical spikes?
  20. Example landing and departing rwy 26L but rc will have me contact approach and issue me a different runway, once i got the opposite of where all the ai were landing, so i was going head on with all these planes. WHat is going on??
  21. Why is everyone on 8xS when 16x looks waaayyyyy better, for the little difference in performance i rather the image quality. Unless i missing the point here can anyone elaborate this setting?Im on 1920x1200 i7 920 overclocked 4.0 and gtx 285 latest drivers.
  22. What is better 4.15 and 1580 mhz or 4.0 and 1600 whats a better balance more cpu over ram?
  23. i7 920 overclockedIm trying to figure out the best setting for bufferpools and my video card unfortunately i have no idea what to look for. ALthough the higher settings make the sim seem very very clear texture wise and panning, seems to be very crisp, however a such high bf i kept getting either ctd or graphic corruption. I see some with very low numbers like 5 mb or 5 000 000 but i have seen 80 000 000 and 200 000 000.So i just need some light on this topic, where can i look to see whats good what are users here using to have a good number for this and enjoying there specs and graphics. I was getting alot more spikes with lower settings.
  24. Hey allHow are your afcads setup do you prefer CW landings and always having a near miss due to atc limitations, or do you prefer congested delayed takeoffs and landings. I personally hate taking off and another plane is on the cw taxing off, but ill admit no more long waits for landings i takeoff right away.
