So, if you FLY the aircraft, can you land on the runway? Remember, Aviate , navigate, communicate. All aircraft fly the same, until you introduce automation. Don't rely on automation, fly the aircraft and point it where you want it to go.

I had Hyper threading turned on in Win 7 and FSX was fine. Changed to Win 8.1 and had to turn it off. Stuttering was horrendous. Go figure!

Map all controls through FSUIPC, then disable controllers in FSX and they work great! I had the same issues. Also raising the sensitivity might work too. It did for me before I changed to Windows 8.1.

Turn off Hyperthreading in the BIOS. I had to when I went from WIn 7 to 8.1 My stuttering was very bad. Totally different tweaking process in 8. I'm surprised you haven't mentioned that your joystick stopped working.

Nothing wrong, you can select it in the PMDG options in the FMC.

You're going to have to be a bit more specific. What do your FMA's say? Is VNAV/LNAV set? Buzz

I have noticed this isse as well

I had all the issues mentioned under Windows 8. I went back to Windows 7 and now I can fly endlessly with no issues. I can only speak for myself, but do NOT upgrade to Windows 8 if everything in your FSX is working as it should under 7. Buzz

Also, stay away from Windows 8. I've just downgraded back to Windows 7 after huge issues with FSX in 8. Everything runs jst how it should under 7. Nothing against Windows 8, I have it on my Home Theatre PC, just FSX doesn't like it. Buzz

...and people wonder why Tech Crew Members don't bother commenting in forums. Thank you Greg and Rob for trying to share flying knowledge to the masses.

Longreach? All the -400's are called Longreach including the Oscar Echo's with the extra fuel tank. Oscar Juliet Hotel (OJH) was the one that played on the golf course in Bangkok. it has now been retired to the Desert at Marana Buzz

I have this same issue, but I don't think it's REX. Even when I use the FSX weather, it goes mad. I disable FSUIPC and everything runs fine. Trouble is I need FSUIPC to stop crashes within ORBIX scenery. So try that, disable FSUIPC by renaming the DLL and see what happens. I've had the issue for years, but have only narrowed it down to FSUIPC running, but haven't worked out a fix. I've tried wind smoothing without success.

Have a good time. It's wishful thinking for me living in Australia.Martin Buzzell

I have both and the NGX is amazing in everyway including the sounds.. I love all the sounds, PMDG as usual have got it just right. The iFly has one sound I do like and thats the nosewheel sound. When you taxi out it makes a thud as it runs over the taxiway lights. Though it is simulated, so aiming for the lights doesn't make the sound. Buzz

I've been having a fiddle. I put texture load back to 4096 and deleted Highmem. Blank ground texture are still not there, very strange. I'll put highmem back and see what happens again.
