  1. Many thanks to Stephen for sharing his "fix".Reverting to FSUIPC 3.93 (from 3.96) cured the problems I was experiencing with my PMDG radios.RegardsIanedit: I have just seen that FSUIPC 3.964 is now available. Maybe this will fix the problems experienced with 3.96. Any feed back would be appreciated.
  2. For some unknown reason, the VOR information is not being correctly displayed on the ND.On the ND, the VOR information is showing : VOR L (or R)frequency (of tuned VOR)dme rangeThe IDENT of the tuned VOR is not displayed and also there are no VOR pointers on the ND.I have no such problem with the 737NG.I have heard that there may be a conflict between the PMDG 744 and FS Copilot (which I use). Any comments?I would be grateful for any corrective advice. Many thanks.Ian Oak-Rhind
  3. Very many thanks Jim! You are absolutely correct............Here's how it works (in XP):Start > All Programs > Accessories > Entertainment > Sound RecorderOpen the required .wav fileEffects > Increase or Decrease volumeSave fileThe filename of the Sound Recorder utility, if you need to start it another way, is sndrec32.exeAll very simple and easy........when you know how!RegardsIan
  4. I am surprised that NOBODY has the answer to my question!!Ian
  5. Could someone please advise me as to how I can increase the volume of the cockpit call outs (V Speeds and RadAlt calls).In the FS9 Sound settings, I have Engines at 30, Cockpit 85 and Environment 60.In the PMDG/Sound menu, I have everything ticked and the slider at 70.With the above settings, the Call-Outs are barely audible above the engine noise and ATC chatter.Many thanksIan Oak-Rhind
  6. Hi allFor what it is worth, I am using nvidia 191.07 drivers + nhancer 2.5.7 with a GeForce 8800 GTS 512mb and experiencing (touch wood) absolutely no problems running FS9.1 with PMDG a/c.Ian
  7. Hi allI only fly to airports with add-on sceneries............never (or very rarely) to default MSFS airports.My question is : will these fs9.cfg Display settings adversely affect the add-on sceneries and are they really intended only for the default sceneries??Probably a very dumb question but some confirmation/advice would be appreciated. Thank you.RegardsIan
  8. Dan.....many thanks for your helpful reply. I seem to remember being advised PMDG Support that one should always start PMDG flights from the FS default flight.However, I will try and set up the 744 in a cold and dark state, save the flight and panel state......and see what transpires!I would have hoped that maybe someone from PMDG Supoort might have been able to offer advice concerning my requirement to select the 747-400 TWICE before the Captain's panels come to life. Very strange.RegardsIan Oak-Rhind
  9. Hi allI am having trouble starting-up my 744 on FS9.1 and Windows XP.I ALWAYS initiate all my PMDG flights from the FS9 default Cessna at KEAS. Switch everything off and reposition to my chosen departure airport/gate.Once there....Select Aircraft.....PMDG 747-400. Aircraft loads up okay but it is nowhere near cold and dark. Packs running, fuel control switces set to RUN, HYD Demand Pumps all ON...etcetc.Switch EVERYTHING off. Battery on, start APU etcetc. FO panels show normally but NOTHING on Captain's side.The only work-around that I can find is: RESELECT aircraft (PMDG 747-400). This time more overhead switchery is all over the place. Shut EVERYTHING down and start over again. This time the CAPTAINS panels work normally and I am "go" from there.I do NOT have this problem with the 737NG.I have re-installed the 747-400 (1.1).......but the start-up problems persist.It is putting me off flying long-haul in my 744 as the whole initial process is so time consuming!I would be grateful for any comments/advice. Many thanks.Ian
  10. Hi allI hope I am not going off topic here and I hope this is an appropriate place to ask for help!I am using a GeForce 8800GTS 512mb with nhancer 2.5.1 and 185.85 drivers (soon to be updated to 186.08).I would be extremely grateful if some clever person out there could possibly post screen shots of their 2.5.1 nhancer control panel to show me the optimum set up for my card/driver using FS9 on WindowsXP.On the nhancer on-line HELP page, under Section 4.1.1 Anti-Aliasing, it states:Combined: NOT for GeForce 8x000 and later cardsSupersampling : NOT for GeForce 8x000 and later cardsCoverage Sample : ONLY for GeForce 8x000 and later cards.On MY 2.5.1 nhancer control panel......there is NO Coverage Sample box. In fact the AA section looks the same as the previous version of nhancer.I am thoroughly confused!Any guidance/advice will be greatly appreciated. Many thanksIanOR
  11. Hi allIs there a chance that some clever person could Post details of how to set up nhancer 2.5.1 using the new 185 drivers ?I am presently using the earlier version of nhancer (2.4.5) with 182.50 drivers.I am reluctant to change my set-up unless someone can confirm that there will be benefits. I am on WindowsXP, FS9.1 and a GeForce 8800GTS 512.Many thanks and regardsIan
  12. Merhaba OnurThanks for taking the trouble to reply. I will try and do what you sugest.Ian
  13. I would be very grateful if someone could please advise me into which FS9 file I sould be putting the Des Braban sounds files. His read me file says:"copy all 11 files into the aircraft sound folder"Excuse my ignorance, but to me this could mean:1. fs9/sound or2. fs9/sound/pmdg/737NG or3. fs9/aircraft/PMDG737/sound (specific to each variant) I am pretty sure it will be one the above, but just not sure which !Many thanksIan
  14. Hi allEvery problem that I have ever encountered with PMDG aircraft has been resolved when I select the DEFAULT MSFS flight at start up.If I try to use a saved PMDG aircraft flight............... that is when the problems arise.It can be a bore going through the process of resetting the time/date, shutting everything down on the Cessna, repositioning the a/c to the departure airfield, and finaly reslecting the PMDG a/c for the flight.If I do that EVERY time........my PMDG a/c work perfectly.Hope that might help.Ian
