There are always two sides to a story and the side from "those who were there" (I assume ACES employees) does not make sense. Are you telling me that MS disbanded the whole Studio because they didn't like an opposing view regarding a single title among many titles for which they had no problem with? They could have cancelled FS and kept all the other titles. Until the "insiders" from opposing view (MS management) verify what the ACES insiders are saying, I will reserve judgement on it. Meanwhile the MS's stated official reason for dismantling the ACES makes more sense.

ACES developed a lot more titles than FS. So the decision to close ACES could not have been just about FS.

Its interesting that you have autogen in the distance but not close up. Which makes me doubt that its a land class issue.

I'd imagin S. California has much in common with Australia. Is that up for consideration?

Note that in all pictures the tops are bright and bottoms are dark. In my pictures the two lobes have their bottom edges bright. Its not a big deal anyway. I maybe getting an@l.

Let us know if you fix it.

please note the circled area..the textures are upside down. (or am I dillusional?)

If I am not mistaken, the OP's graphic problem is only cleared when the sim is restarted. no?

Pardon me if this has been discussed, but what is with the upside down cumulus clouds in REX? Cumulus clouds are flat underneath and fluffy/cottony on the sides and top. To me it looks quiet weired to see clouds mushrooming from bottom. Is there a fix?edit: I didn't mean that the clouds don't mushroom on top but its strange looking to see them do it from underneath.

IF there are two different GPU/drivers, doesn't that exclude the drivers as the cause?

I get that once in a while too (not often but it happens when I minimize FSX or try to do instant repaly). I always thought it was a graphic driver issue, but now am not sure because I have an NVIDEA card and you have a ATI.

So you don't have to disable PNW to fly outside of the area with GEX/UTX? In other words; Is it a seamless transition?

Wait a sec here. Okay you made me nervous about getting PNW now. I have to learn Scenery Library to use it with UTX/GEX? What happens to UTX/GEX outside of the PNW boundries? What happens when you fly from one area to another?

I think the arrested landing is so sudden that a little extra flare causes the front wheel to drop violently on the deck. I used to put my eye position up high to see over the nose for landing. This higher position caused me to approach with higher than normal angle of attack and hence a sudden nose drop.

darn, do I need my original registration key? Where do I get it?

Your system has a big flaw. i7 systems use triple channel memory and thus have to use 3 sticks at a time to use maximum memeory bandwith. So you should have multiples of 3gb ram such as 3,6,9,12,15 gb ram; not 16.

Nick, I didn't know that you recommended no BP entry for i7 system. Is this new?

Have you installed the service packs? edit" nevermind"

No solution to the giant AI landing light balls I am afraid. Its a goof up in FSX.

Its a myth. Its a balance between CPU and GPU. If OP has an i7920 OC to 4 ghz, then for sure he is gpu bound.

All of a sudden I have water climbing sides of the canyons and mountains and places where is doesn't belong. I haven't added anything to my setup either for a while. Any suggested fix?FSXAccelarationUTX USGEXREX

Update your Ultimate defrag or reinstall it. It will work on Windows7

Why can't I find the above lines in the fsx.cfg file? Are they left out by default?

Thank you all. Wasn't Nick doing something with GEX to change some of the trees that are known to be resource hog?
