  1. Hi Bert, Tried to PM you, but AVSIM says you can not receive any new PM's? Cheers, Nathan
  2. Hi Bert, Was wondering if you still have the fixes available? Would love to have them. Cheers, Nathan.
  3. Just wondering if anyone has managed to edit the panel to show the more popular "clock style" engine gauges instead of the tape ones? Cheers, N
  4. Hi all, I just love this visuals of this product and understand that it is a "lite" product, but I was wondering if anyone has worked out a way of getting close to real N1 settings for T/O, and Climb? Cheers, N
  5. Hey Andrew, the real plane flys about 3-4 degrees nose up so I think you'll find it's pretty close to the real thing. Cheers N
  6. I suppose as people read this post that more people may preface their topic with X-Plane or FS. I know that I will in the future. N
  7. Fantastic! This looks like everything I've been waiting years to get. Can't wait to get home tomorrow and purchase it. ps Don't tell my wife hehe. Cheers Nathan.
  8. Thank you everyone, sounds like I've made my mind up definitely for the Milviz. I just hope that the repaints really take off
  9. Sorry about that, kept getting an error message that it couldn't post my topic and to try later...
  10. I have the Justflight 737-200 Professional, but am suffering from a lack of repaints, I would like to know what people think about the Captain Sim and Milviz versions. Which is more realistic to fly etc, etc. Looking forward to hearing what people think. Cheers, N
  11. Makes you wonder why they put a GPS in if you are meant to be flying 70's style! I have mapped one of my joystick buttons to the NAV1/GPS just wish that the HSI would then show the GPS course. Oh well, am still having a ball.
  12. ftwd replied to a post in a topic in PMDG 737 NG (Legacy Version)
    Would love to see fictional repaints of the defunct Canadian operator Zip Air.Also a fictional repaint of Canadian North.Nathan
  13. Hi all,I can't seem to figure out how to couple the GPS to the autopilot? I've checked through the manual and there doesn't seem to be a NAV/GPS button on the panel?Can anyone help me?N :(
  14. I have returned the card back to the manufacturer as nothing I did would fix this problem.Will keep you posted,Cheers,N :(
  15. Thanks for your reply James,Yes I have both power connectors connected to two different +12V rails. The unit actually comes ready for the nVidia card. Will look into the autoclocking if I can figure out how. Hehehe.Thanks again,Nathan
  16. Well I got my Xigmatek NRP-MC651 power supply which has 76a on the 12v rail, installed it all and blammo, I still have the same problem!!! Auggghhhh :( Does anyone have any ideas now???N
  17. Went on a flight yesterday and was getting the same anomallies in to 2D cockpit too.It seems to happen around the same place, with urban textures. I think this is due to the high number of different urban textures used rather than the textures themselves.Once the problem starts, I have to do a re-boot to get rid of it (10+ second delays when opening new screens). Even if I close FS and restart, without reboot, the problems are still there.GPU running at max 55C so it's not an overheat problem.Just wish the delivery dude would hurry up with my new PSU.Cheers,N.
  18. ....Sorry I wasn't that clear in my original post, the problems still exist in the 2d display once they have started in the virtual cockpit. If I look left or right, the anomaly is still there, but as new scenery start to load, etc, the anomalies stop loading. The sim still pauses when changing windows etc. It's only if I do a whole flight from the 2d cockpit that I get no problems. Once again I think it's an overload issue due to not having enough amps on the +12v rail.Will hopefully see when my new PSU gets here.N
  19. Thanks, will download 3dmark06 an see what happens.I have ordered a new Corsair TX-650 power supply.Temps are good, the Max GPU temp I've had when a problem has occured was 61c and the core and mobo max at 45 and 40c.I really have a feeling that it's the power supply not having enough amps on the +12v rail (mine only has 29a). The new one has 52a.Will have to see.I have also deleted the drivers, run driver sweeper in safe mode and reinstalled the latest driver, but still had the problem.Will try the new PSU then if that doesn't work, will try the driver that came from MSI.Thanks all,NUpdate... I scored a 12257 on 3Dmark06. It said I have succesfully run 3Dmark06.
  20. The system was put together by a friend of mine who is a programmer that builds computer systems in his spare time.Am happy for the moderator to me me to where ever would be best. Am really interested if anyone else has had the same problem and what may have fixed it for them.Cheers,N
  21. Hi all,I recently updated my PC to a;Phenom 2 9950 quad4 gig ram (XP32 bit only uses 3gig)MSI nVidia N260GTX video card.Even though the system has been designed for FSX, I still prefer to fly FS9 as most of the aircraft I fly haven't been made available in FSX yet. The following is the problem I have with FS9.My problem is, when I fly in the virtual cockpit, after a while, the cloud textures start to load up ground textures! Some of the ground tiles come up with cockpit tiles and when I go back to the 2d cockpit, I get a screen full of building textures!!!The computer then slows down, takes at least 10seconds to open up another flight sim window or change from full screen to window. Switching to windowed mode resets the graphics and all goes fine unless I start using the virtual cockpit again.If I fly in the 2d cockpit only, all is good.I have the latest drivers for the GPU and deleted the previous ones before installing the new ones.Has anybody else had these sort of problems with FS9?Cheers,N
  22. Thank you for your quick responce's.Cheers,Nathan
  23. Hi I have a quick question about the 737NG FMC.How do you enter a waipoint that is on the runway departure heading, at a set altitude but not at a set distance. For example, when you bring up some SID's, on the RTE LEGS page a waypoint on the runway heading that reads (3000) with the heading above it saying for example 320 degrees and TRK after it (refer to page 8-29 of the 08 FMC 737-678900). What I want to do for example is, depart Sydney Australia YSSY 34R and at 500 feet, make a turn 023 degreesto the right to waypoint HALLAS.I hope I have managed to make my question clear.Cheers,Nathan Ford
  24. Help, only my default aircraft are displaying the frequency numbers on their radios. PMDG 737, PIC 737, Airbus Vol 1 deluxe and Level D 767 just show blanks where the frequencies should be. Also, on most of these aircraft, I get blanks where Autopilot variables e.g. ALT, SPEED V/S etc. should be.I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling but nothing. The frequencies change if I "move" the knobs but they just won't display!N :(Edited... Now none of my aircraft are displaying their frequencies Auuugggghhhhh!!!!What would cause this?Latest Edit,After all I have tried this afternoon, I tried turning the computer off and restarting it. I'm embarrased to say....That fixed it.Oops,N
