Thank you for the replies.Problem solved with 190.38 drivers. \\ Perttu

Problem solved - apparently newest drivers were the root cause. 190.38 drivers installed and now performance is as expected!

Hi!I did a small system upgrade and got the Nvidia GTS 250 card to replace Ati Radeon 4670.Now everything runs exactly as I expected as long as I do the following.- Load the Pmdg M11 at a dense airport in full screen mode all setting maxed with single monitor, FPS stable at 50 (locked)- Go to windoved mode and move overhead panel into monitor 2 and back to fullscreen mode again, FPS between 15-20 regardless of the locationI have the latest Nvidia driver and Nhancer configured as should. System specs are:Asus P5QIntel core 2 E8400ASUS GTS250 DK PCIE 512MB DVI/VGA/HDMI2*1 Mbit RAMWindows Xp (SP3) 32-bitAs said system is stable, when benchmarking results are on the numbers. FS never crashes.So problem is only when trying to run 2 displays in full screen mode - any ideas what might be wrong? \\ Perttu

Hello,I can confirm this. Still there.Also pitch oscillations with *2 rate when weather updates (FSMeteo + FS9).Rgs \\ PerttuPS. Still INCREDIBLE addon!!!

Without knowing what you are specifically looking for I would say yes.RC4 is a solid product with plenty of good features... \\ Perttu

Should run FS9 very well.I did similar upgrade (xp32, seamless fs9 performance) few months back and my selection was:Asus P5QIntel Core 2 E5200ATI Radeon HD 4670, 512 MB2*1 Gig PC2-6400 MushkinE5200 is now overclocked to 3,32 mhz and system is rock solid. Last week to tackle slight noise issue I did replace Intel stardard cooler with Noctua NH-U12P cooler. All in all very cost efficient package and the deliverable is simply outstanding. \\ Perttu

Hello,I did budget upgrade to run FS9 for few more years. Very happy with new setup and everything works very well.However there is a slight problem with my 2nd display. I do want to use Ati Adaptive AA since it makes a world of difference - when used there are no significant blurries in most sceneries I use. Now when I move eg PMDG overhead panel to the second display and go back to full screen mode overhead panel is severely blurred while cockpit remains sharp and crisp. I had this same problem (with the entire panel) with single display on the new system but that was cured by adding panelastexture=0. Is there a tweak to address this problem or do I have to choose between blurry sceneries or blurry overhead panel on second display.All help highly appreciated! \\ PerttuBtw. New setup Asus P5Q, Intel Core 2 E5200 (Oc'd to 3Ghz), 2*1Gig 800ddr memory, Ati Radeon 4670, cost to upgrade was very low ~300

Hi,I did recently budget upgrade to run XP + FS9 for additional 2-3 years.My system is P5Q, E5200 dual core, Ati Radeon 4670, 2*1 gig mushkin memory, XP sp3, Avast antivirus+XP firewall.Everything is newbuilt, updated and really works like a charm.Regarding FS plan is not to install any unneeded addons to maximise stability. I use LDS, PMDG, F1 ATR, FE, GE, FSmeteo, nothing 'exotic' really.However in some cases, typically on approach 10-20 NM (several locations, could be dense clouds over Atlantic as well) out, my sound goes really crazy, becomes totally incomprehensive (just bzzzzzzzzzzz...) and takes few secs to restore. In a worst case this may result black screen without any error messages. Frame rates however remain constant. I use onboard (Realtek) sound, updated. I think it may be a confict between Ati (CCC 8.12) and onboard sound since this occurs when a lot of textures are loaded. I did lower texture_bandwidth_mult from 400 to 70 and that seems to help a bit, no CTD:s anymore. I have also tried to crash my system with Soundcheck but it remains very stable regardless what I do. Anyone able to help - I am thinking putting soundcard in to solve this, since I cannot figure out how to fix it...BR \\ Perttu

Hello,I did upgrade my PC to do 28fps in all reasonable scenarios everything maxed out. Target was to spend as little as possible.My set up is Asus P5Q, Intel core 2 duo E5200, 2*1Gig DDR800 from Mushkin, 500 Gig Samsung T-166 Spinpoint HD and MSI Ati Radeon HD4670 512MB. Everything works like a charm, everything is fresh install and all drivers updated.Only problem is with ATI, I do have CCC v8.11 and yes fps is great (locked 28) but image quality is not as good as with my previous Nvidia 6800 GT. I have tried several tweaks and made some progress but still some awful looking textures around.What are the optimal settings for ATI card - with Nhancer things used to be really easy!Thanks for your advise... \\ Perttu

Hello,I have suffered few CTD's (when using RC) pointing as atc.dll the cause. Obviously very annoying especially when it happens during approach. I think I have figured out one cause for this. If (departure) atis frequency will be retuned at some point of flight a black screen will occur and cause for CTD is shown atc.dll.Having flown from RKSI to VHHH I noticed both airports have same frequency for Atis and when VHHH atis was tuned CTD always occured. Then I changed VHHH atis frequency and no problem.Same thing with KMIA-EDDF - Kmia atis is the same as EDDF approach frequency. When handed over to approach CTD occurs.Anyone else having this problem? Is there other solutions than cross checking all frequencies in controller info? Perttu

Hi!No problem with me either. 100% happy with FSmeteo regarding performance. Perttu

Hello Fellow Simmers,Any idea how long FSmeteo service has been down? I tried this Fri around 9:00 pm cet (gmt -2) and seems to be still (~ 40 hrs later) completely gone? best rgs Perttu

Hello again,No MDmax drivers around? If pls see my q's from above. Comments highly appreaciated...Funny enough - no reply from developers to my 3 emails :-( ...Best Rgs Perttu

Hi George,Thanks for the comments. I think it is only fair that we all have different objectives with this hobby. What you are saying is more or less why I am looking to buy this add on.However could you let me know your views on following items:- Navdata - how complete it is? Are there Sid/Star's for EU area especially also smaller airports in Finland&Sweden&Norway?- If no Sid/Star available is it difficult to write one myself? - Is it possible to enter fix into FMC?and- How is the sound environment with MDmax? I do not favor pure engine sound modelling but realistic LDS style complete environment.Navdata issue is important since I would be flying mainly with fantastic FISD freeware scenery in Finland and also other smaller airports (ESGG, ENBR...) in Nordics.Happy flying & Thanks for the help. Perttu

Hello all,I would like to buy MDmax (full package) but still few issues which I need to clarify. I have tried to email developers but no luck with reply sofar.I would highly appreciate feedbeck on following issues:- In terms of system modelling MDMax is on par (or even ahead?) with LDS/PMDG?- Flightmodelling is acceptable, maybe excellent?- Frame rates comparing to other complex sim's? - Product is more or less patched; are there major issues not being solved by now?- Navdata - how complete it is? Are there Sid/Star's for EU area especially also smaller airports in Finland&Sweden&Norway?- If no Sid/Star available is it difficult to write one myself?- Anything else I should be aware at this point?- I suppose no review available anywhere?Best Rgs & Thanks for the help!

Hello,Now 400 hrs with fantastic 744 without any major problems.However with new Aerosoft Mega eddf scenery, FS Meteo, RC4 and moderate AI I did suddenly get CTD (my very first with 744!) at short final after 10,5 hrs flying. Cause was out of memory. I do have relatively powerful pc with 1,5 gig memory (and pagefile disabled).I did fly same leg (SBGR-EDDF) the with pagefile enabled and no CTD but some stutters in finals. Since then I have done some testing and I do notice that with mega EDDF memory usage is very high -> up to 1.4 gigs. Also 744 requires a lot more memory than LDS 763, all PSS, NG I think. With my CTD flight reflow I did get following mem usage. At the gate SBGR mem usage was 0,9 gig with all set + RC and weather loaded. During the flight it does increase peaking at arrival stage up to 1.4 gig.Is this normal? Best Rgs Perttu

Hello Luis,Thank you and the team for the absolute stunning scenery.Could you kindly post correct scenery.cfg entry as some people (myself) may have altered them due to remote/local issue. I recall some parts were local and some remote...Best Rgs Perttu

Hi Christian,Fantastic tool - Thank You very much!! Perttu

Hi,If it is same quality as LDS/PMDG I would not say 55

Hi all,I would appreciaciate your objective comments (preferably from experienced users) on the current status of PSS 777. As I understand it was prematurely launched and some problems were encontered. By reading the reviews and looking thru the PSS forum I am not sure how things are now. Boxed edition to be lauched would however suggest that all relevant issues are fixed.If you compare this package with LDS 767 or PMDG 747 would you say it is up there or is there still room for development. As many simmers I too think LDS is very much complete (perfect) and PMDG 747 would be just as complete with (LDSclub style) performance manual included.I am especially interested how realistic the 777 flight model currently is and how well autopilot functions (lnav, vnav etc) are modelled. Are the lnav, vnav, ils/gs capture &hold as smooth and solid as with LDS/PMDG? Also your opinion on the sounds is welcome - I appreaciate very much realistic cockpit environment rather than pure engine sounds. I think above are the key areas where PSS Airbuses aren't too good unfortunately. When using them I really miss ac/apu sound, Vx, gear callouts etc. And to buy 777 it must have these features.Looking forward to your comments... Perttu

Same applies if say approach is the same as atis at origin.Maybe this could be your issue as well.Best Rgs Perttu

Hi John,Thanks, I guess I should read the manual...Everything has been working so well that I have not bothered reading it thru sofar. Best Rgs Perttu

Hi all,What would be cool is to have option 'descent when ready' from cruise altitude when above FL240. Then FMC capabilities on advanced addons like LDS or PMDG could be utilised even better.Also I suppose this is also a realistic procedure if allowed by circumstances - atleast I can recall in real world getting this sort of clearance on flights into EFHK and ESSA when I have been able to get the jump seat on flightdeck for my flight.Also with previous RC version one was able to ask (and obtain) cruise level again after initial descent and when at FMC calculated TD ask for lower levels to FL 150 and the get final clearances from there. I do miss this a bit since initial descent (380 - 350 etc.) during low traffic levels/areas comes very early for most addons. Best Rgs Perttu
