I believe the Samsung JU series is the 2015 model which might explain not being able to find it. I bought a 40" Samsung KU6300 (KU being the 2016 models) two weeks ago and love it. I wish I had upgraded to 4K sooner, and having all this screen space for P3D is amazing. Fellow forum member Dan Downs picked up a 40" Samsung KU7000 a few days ago and last I heard he's enjoying it quite a bit. One thing Dan mentioned to me was that he needed to buy a longer HDMI cable because the connections on the TV are on the right side and his computer setup is on the left side of his desk. Not a huge deal, but you may need to buy a longer HDMI cable depending on your setup. From what I've read the recommendations are to not go over 18'.

Just gave ShadowPlay a shot and I can't figure out how to record only the P3D window. Is that possible, or do I have to record my whole desktop?

Same here. I don't record too much, but when I do I use OBS and it's worked great for me.

Thanks guys. :smile: I'm definitely loving the release and I can't wait to see these lights everywhere. Just need some more free time to really dig in and enjoy it some more. I'm glad it helped. Your shots really show that the new night lighting gets even better with the bigger cities. Not that the Kansas City area (Where I took my shots) is tiny, but it's no Chicago. Can't wait to fly into NY or San Fran and see the improvement. Yeah, I think "ugly" was probably the wrong word choice, "basic" probably would have been more appropriate as there's not much to them, just a couple simple shots. I didn't notice an FPS hit, although I'm sure it's there. I have noticed a VAS decrease, but I think that's to be expected given the massive improvement.

There's an OLC_NA_Lights scenery area in the scenery library. Maybe that ended up disabled somehow? Here's a quick comparison with the lights area enabled and disabled. Looks like it's the major roads and highways that change. If you want to check your sim, go to KOJC runway 36, and just slew up to 8k feet. That's all I did to get the below pictures.

Roarke, What are your current computer specs? It's tough to suggest something if we don't know what you already have.

I'm not much of a screenshot taker so forgive me for any ugliness, but I thought some would want to see the night lighting difference. These are from P3D just north of KOJC. Using Vector and openLC NA. I didn't change a thing between shots other than installing openLC NA.

I'm loving the new night lighting. I only did a small comparison test, but it's looking like quite an improvement. EDIT: Link to a couple shots. http://www.avsim.com/topic/492694-orbx-openlc-na-quick-night-lighting-before-and-after/

This happens because the max wingspan of the parking is too small, but the good news is you can use the GSX menu to change it manually. I can't remember exactly what the option is called as I'm not near my P3D computer, but inside the GSX customization menu there's a wingspan option with a small airplane button next to it. Just find your parking space on the left, then click that button and it will set the number to your current aircraft's wingspan (or maybe bigger, I'm not 100% certain). Now the parking will work.

That's referring to the "cloud coverage density" setting inside P3D.

Not exactly certain what you mean by "no flight controls," but make sure you've disengaged the gust lock. Check out page 48 of the introduction manual.

Yeah, I could do that as well. Just looking for the laziest way possible I suppose. Hmm, that doesn't work for me. I use windowed mode, and when I minimize or choose another program, the sounds just keep going. Thanks for the replies, guys.

Forgive me if I'm missing the obvious here as I'm relatively new to X-Plane, but is there anyway to mute the sound in X-Plane using a keypress like "Q" in FSX/P3D? I'd even take them muting on a task switch. I know I can go to the sounds menu and uncheck it, but that's not the most convenient thing. Thanks.

Just checked and that's how it works on the PMDG version as well. And because I know someone will ask.

It's not compatible. Only ASN, and, hopefully, in the future other new weather products.

You're right of course, slight mistake in terminology. Unfortunately I am not perfect.

Yep. I flew out of KOAK earlier, and just sat there for a couple minutes watching the weather move on the radar. :lol: And yes, I realize how sad that sounds. :blush: Like this from the real world (Go 95 seconds in, not sure if it'll link properly). Notice how you can see it sweep when it crosses over the weather. That's what it looks like. And just as an FYI, the terrain radar will do this too with SP1.

Rynardt nailed it. FSX is "freezing" because choosing to view the license key opens shows the key in a dialog box, not inside FSX . You need to click ok on that to get back to FSX again.

They mentioned a few days ago on their forum that they've programmed this already. It's in testing with a few other things and should be released soon.

Unsure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but the TOCG will turn yellow just like the weights if you're out of the limit. So if it's still white, you're should be good to go.

Did you press the MIC button on the ACP?

I think the answer to this is as Rob and Dan described above. This gets saved with the panel state, and from what you posted, it seems like you were loading the PMDG short turn panel state, which had 18K set as the TA when saved. The reason it worked for me, is because I didn't load a panel state, I was doing it straight from the default engines running. This seems to be proper behavior going off what the intro manual states, but it's possible I've completely misunderstood things. Page 72:

Just tried it and it worked as expected. Here's what I did. 1) Changed default TA to 10,000 - Was originally set at 18,000 for Delta livery. 2) Restarted FSX - The TA option isn't a change on the fly option like some of the other ones, you need to restart FSX for it to save properly. Are you possibly skipping this step? 3) Took the picture below. 10,000 on the VNAV CLB page.

Unsure if this was the exact issue some had with the NGX, but I believe some of these climb issues were fixed when people deleted their FSUIPC.ini file and let the sim generate a new one. Maybe try that, and make sure you back up your current copy somewhere just in case that's not the fix.

Somewhere over the rainbow.
