Loving those shots, i really think it's their best scenery to date, nice job!!!

Excellent

If that were true, i would not have been so disheartened when i posted a legitimate issue i was having with one of the many add-ons that i purchased from FSDT but due to the fact that i was seemingly the only person experiencing the issue, "as stated by you" I was left to languish and sought support outside of the forum, to have the issue resolved.I am one of those simmers who read many fora but rarely post, just trying to glean as much as I can and this was a very interesting thread. I felt compelled to chime in based on my personal experience with you. I love your work and will most probably continue to purchase your products, although admittedly not with the same fervour as I did before. Support was defensive to say the least in many instances and to date my final post still goes unanswered. Do forgive me for not sharing in the sentiment that maybe some perceptions or fears are dispelled.

Thanks Bigmack, i got it and now things work fine, I did everything there at first, except "Roaming" because REX wasn't seeing the file automatically so i had to do it manually.Regards

That's your opinion of which you're entitled, and if you so choose you can go on with this until the cows come home. I'll have nothing more to say on this topic but to do things the way i deem fit.So you and your precious Word Not Allowed can continue if this excites you or makes you feel good about yourselves.

OK then you do it your way and I'll do it my way, thank you very much. I prefer to exercise my right to choose! You always have the option not to respond.

Nothing is hard to google but it was my choice to ask at the forum, is there something wrong with that?Regards

Hi guys just updated to W7Ultimate 64bit, i've ticked off "show hidden folders" but i still cant find the fsx .cfg.Hoping somone can direct me here.Much Thanks

Thank you Basys for the link although it doesn't seem to work but i'll keep trying and see what happens.

Hi guys, i did a search for this topic but didn't find anything, so i'm interested to know what keys you guys use for "wingfold command"?I have SP1 and Acceleration installed.Thanks

I saw that problem for the very first time a few days ago when i was actually trying to open a window from the views tab in FSX and it stayed flashing for my entire flight. It went away after that as mysteriously as it came, i don't know why i thought it may have been a problem w/ resources, maybe too many things were happening all at once? dunno!Regards

BTW, i think i found a solution to this niggling problem, i installed FSUIPC and voila no problems w/ pushback (1) or (2). Don't know how that solves the problem but just thought i would share with you guys. :(

Hey Guys,I'm very happy to say that i got my new rig and i have spent most of the night trying to reinstall everything which from the looks of things is going to take a pretty long time.One thing i'm having an issue with though is the jaggies in FS9.I have tried the AA from the nvidia control panel and it doesn't matter what configs i try, it doesn't seem to smoothe out those jaggies.I'm using the GE8800GT and the driver is the latest 6.14.11.6921 Much Thanks for any help

>Hey 9Y,>>Yeah didn't mention FSX ;)>>FSX IMO, your best off with the stronger range of CPUs,>preferably a Quad-Core, since FSX is SOO much more demanding>than good old FS9.>>But the new (Intel)Quads do come with a price right>now, since you said yourself your not yet an avid FSX user,>your setup will give you more than enough joy for FS9 at its>max :)>>Upgrade when your really feel the itch for FSX, by then Quad>should be lower in price, so all in your favor by then>hopefully.>>As to your current setup, that looks nice, in the sense that>now it is able to push out all it can. :)>>Regards,>Davis>Good stuff Davis and Jaap, thanks for all of your help! This will be the order! of course when i get the rig i shall post how it's running.Thanks again

Love Tahiti Jaap, As a matter of fact that reminds me got to re-install all of Bill Melichar's scenery :-)So GPU's are the important thing here, yeah! You guys really know your thing, i can't thank you enough for all of this great information.I have to sit down and read over all of your posts and assimilate all of this and make the right choices.I haven't looked at my old rig in a while, I'll post my dinosaur specs in a bit :-)Ok here it is, just don't laugh 1.67 gigahertz AMD Athlon XP128 kilobyte primary memory cache256 kilobyte secondary memory cacheBoard: ASUS A7S333 REV 1.xxBus Clock: 133 megahertz1024 Megabytes Installed MemoryNVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Regards

WOW Jeff, That was detailed, i think you have given me a proper lesson to configure the right PC and save some good money too, I'm really happy that i jumped in and asked about all of this.Thanks to that addendum I have chopped down the specs of my new rig thus saving money in the process and I'm sure it will give me the desired results for both Sims and just like you my usage will be more to FS9 anyways.I can't thank you enough. I'll be in touch to let you know how things worked out....ok!Best Regards

Thanks much guys, I can safely put up 2500.00USD for a new system. I have been vacillating about the alienware option for a while because i have heard pros and cons but because i live in Trinidad most of the top end hardware is not readily available and if you order it from an outlet here at home it becomes a special order and hence the price increases, so it's best just for me to purchase an all in one system with all the bells and whistles i can afford in one shot.Having said that i will check out the site that you have underscored and see what they offer as well, thanks much for that.Because i want to use both fs9 and FSX is what has me even more confused, so I'm really looking forward to you your expertise here. Thanks
