A question regarding XPlane 10
I thing Austin uses number 20 to give an example. Where does it say that you won't be able to have more than 20 planes at once? From what I understood you will be able to have more than 20 with the respective demand on resources.Cheers

fsx and core2quad vs core2duo
stefanos5913 replied to stefanos5913's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcThanks for the replies guys. I'd like you to know that I decided to format my pc and do a clean install of windows 7, fsx, acceleration etc.. Now I have better performance but to be honest not what I initially expected.The only tweak I use is this one[Main]FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.15By adding this line you have smoother performance but more blurries. The lower the value the smoother the flight. I thing that the default value is 0.33. If you want you can go as low as 0,05 but for me it was too blurry. Owi you are right. It seems that my gpu is now bottlenecking my system. I have some stutters but I don't know if my gpu is responsible for that. My mobo is an Albatron pxp35 ver 2. My bios didn't need upgrading (not that there is one :( ). As far as I know it is vary easy to upgrade bios in modern mobos but each manufacturer has it's one way. I am aware of that. However I thought that a deference of 0.2 GHz wouldn't matter so much. Moreover I said that with my old possessor even at stock speed (3 Ghz) performance was smoother.I guess fsx can handle better limited cpu power (which was the case with my old cpu) than limited gpu power (which is the case with q9550 for me)Cheers

fsx and core2quad vs core2duo
Hi GuysI just bought a core2quad q9550 and I get very bad performance in fsx.My system was:CPU: Core 2 duo E8400 overclocked at 3,6 GHzRAM: 4 GB of at 800 MHzGPU: Radeon HD4850OS: Vista 64bit sp2FSX AccelerationWith this setup I was getting 31 fps (locked at 31 fps)Now I upgraded my cpu to a Core 2 Quad q9550 overclocked at 3.4 GHz and with the same fsx settings I get around 15-25 fps.When my previous processor was at its stock speed (3 GHz) I still had better performance than I do now.What I did was to delete my fsx.cfg and let fsx rebuild it. Afterwards I added the following tweak on my fsx.cfg but to no avail.[JOBSCHEDULER]AffinityMask=15 Considering that a q9550 is almost 2 x core2duo E8400 and since fsx is cpu bound I thought this was the best upgrade I could make. Do you have any suggestion because I feel I through my money away.Thank you for any help

CPU upgrade help?
stefanos5913 replied to Goair-18's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcHi. You will see a deference but don't expect to run fsx with the sliders fully to the right. You need a quad core to do that smoothly. E8400's 3Ghz will allow you to have more fps for sure and with a good cooler it is easily overclocked to 3.6Ghz which will give a little something extra. Enjoy your new cpu.Cheers

More questions might come as continue flying this aircraft... ;-)Regards

How to estimate rate of descent for visual approach?
HelloThe procedure I follow in order to make a proper descent is the following.1) I divide my flight level by 3 in order to find at what distance from the airport I should start my descent. For example if you fly at 30000 ft your flight level is 300. Divided by 3 =100. So you should start descending 100 miles away from the airport.2) After that you must find your ground speed. A rough estimate is to add 2% of speed for every 1000 ft of altitude. For example if your speed indicator points at 200 knots and you fly at 30000 ft. >>> 1.6*200=320. Your ground speed is 320 knots.3) For all this to work you must maintain a 3 degree descent. This means that you must have about 500ft/min descent rate for every 100 Knots of ground speed. For the above example you should maintain 3.2*500=1600 ft/min.Be aware. If you keep a steady IAS your ground speed will decrease as you descent so you will have to recalculate your rate of descent.So as long as you know how far away you are from your destination you can make a proper descent.Hope this helps.Cheers.

I managed to create transparency where I want to but I find it difficult to apply reflection and confine it at the desirable parts only.

Crash radius
HelloI created some scenery with the "Object Placement Tool" and "scenery shortcut" and my problem is that when I fly near some objects my plane crashes even when I am around 30 feet away from them or more. Is there a way to reduce this invisible crash radious?Thanks in advance.

New in gmax. Question about "array" option
Hello and happy new year!I started experimenting with gmax (included in the fsx copy) about a week ago. My question is how can I apply the "array" option on a group of polygons and not on an entier object. I want, if possible, the new polygons created to be part of the same object with the first polygone.I tried to apply array with only the desired polygon selected but it din't work.The reason I ask is because I want to array some polygons on a cylinder and I end up having 16 cylinders in one place.Thanks a lotJim

Probably missing textures
If it is an fsx bug it is a vary amateurish one. Overall I found quite a few things that weren't given attention. Anyway let's hope that microsoft or somebody else will release a patch for that.Best wishes

Probably missing textures
Hello I purchased fsx deluxe today and I noticed, as you can see in the picture, this triangles in the middle of the trees. They are only present on the rock of acropolis (all other trees look fine). I guess there are some textures missing. Could someone please tell me if this is a general problem or something went wrong during the installation? If it is just me could you please guide me how to repair it without reinstalling fsx (I wiss it didn't need 35 minutes for that). Thanks.

Afcad problem
>>However, the origianl poster said that a plane "flies over it">and never lands. If there was an afcad problem, wouldn't the>plane NOT depart the starting location? So you'd never see it>doing even a missed approach?>Mayby I wasn't clear at that part. When I said a plane flies over it (LGSA)I ment that it had taken of from an other airport and I had followed it all the way to LGSA.Sorry I didn't mention it from the start.

Afcad problem
Hi PeterI did a fresh reinstall of fs9 and the addon sceneries and I searched very carefully with the help of a "duplicate finder" programme so now I am sure there isn't a second afcad file for LGSA. Even though I can't see any traffic.Thanks for your help.

Afcad problem
HelloReggie I tried everything you mentioned above.I removed the unnecessary nodes, moved the overlaping parking spots away form each other, closed the Rwy 11R/29L. Still no traffic apears. I even replaced the afcad file with the one in your first post but nothing changed. I guess it is something that I don't have the knowledge to correct.Thanks a lot fot your time Reggie.Best wishesJim

Afcad problem
>Is this the FS9 airport or an addon ?>>If an addon make sure you only have one afcad for parking>spaces. Yes it is the freeware airport from "Hellas scenery project".I 'm not sure Peter if I know exactly what you mean but I have only one afcad file for the airport. What seems suspicious is that when I load the last layer of the afcad file with the afcad progrmme, nothing apears (in the afcad programme. If I move the afcad file in another location and open it from there, there is only one layer and everything is in place. In the scenery library I have the airport in the highest position, so I dont't thing it has to do with that.Thanks
