Excluding all particle effects doesn't work in my case. I have tried that before to no avail..... If using a 4 engine jet, frame rates will suffer greatly. 2 engine jets not much of a problem.

Keven, for some odd reason the effects are creating horrible performance mostly with 4 engine aircraft....contrails to be precise. I uninstalled and re-installed the effects and still have the performance issues. I suppose I won't use contrails when flying 4 engine aircraft. 2 engine aircraft contrails don't hit the performance nearly as much. Steve's Fixer doesn't help the 4 engine contrails one bit.

Thanks for the quick response, Keven. I was aware that 1.2 was mainly for P3D and that is why I was taken aback by the sudden performance impact on FSX. I will uninstall the software this evening and re-install it. I will let you know the results.

Hi, I have been using this software since it was first released and have had no issues with performance while using Steve's DX10 fixer. However, after updating the software to 1.2 via the PrecipitFX interface, I have noticed significant performance impact. I keep FSX locked at 35 and see a drop to 18 FPS once the effects take place in the sim.....on the ground and in air. If I use a 4 engine aircraft and the contrails develop, frame rates stay at a horrible 18 FPS with no deviation from 18 FPS. Yes, I did run Steve's scenery fixer after the update. Deselecting the PrecipitFX effects brought the sim back to solid 35 FPS in all regimes of flight. Should I uninstall PrecipitFX and start all over? Thanks, Joe

Hi all, I am in the process of trying to figure out why there is no vsync after installing Fixer 2.0. I recently purchased the previous version and did not have the vsync issue. like the previous version, I let FSX rebuild a new .cfg prior to applying the fixer. I did not change video drivers and changed nothing in Nvidia Inspector. I did try, however, to re-apply the FSX.exe to the FSX profile in NI and "re-do" the 1/2 refresh rate with standard tearing control. No joy. AA does look great and have zero issues with anything else....only vsync has been blocked. Is there something within the Fixer program that may interfere with NI vsync?? The horizontal tearing is not too great but is annoying enough for me to scrap DX10 if I can't find a reasonable solution. As stated in the subject title, using one monitor...and 780GTX. Thanks for any suggestions you folks can provide EDIT: Thank you for the reply, PJ! Omitting the DisablePreload was exactly the problem. Thought I had it in the .cfg in the first place. Vsync is now working perfectly!

Working fine on my system

I've had this happen several times already....only when I used ESC to exit a flight. I tried the menu way of ending flights and don't get a CTD now.

Just click on the COMM button and it will extinguish the message.

I did get to fly the T7 sim for 2 hours back in February of this year (along with 3 other co-workers of mine). We did all takeoffs/touch-n-gos/full-stop landings and ILS approaches at VHHH...google map overlays for visuals were awesome. The only system on the airplane that we used to control anything was the autothrottles. Yes, the airplane was very easy to hand fly and land. One person landed so hard that it shut down the visuals in the sim. Mx had to come and reset the simulator :lol: . The only time I had to manipulate the rudder was during takeoff/landing roll. That's it. Had to work the trim quite a bit though during all phases of flight. Most of the approaches I flew were at 135 Vref + 5 knots (140) and made 3 nice landings. Also, the T7 handled a 20 knot crosswind like a boss ^_^ The PMDG T7 does replicate the actual airplane quite well, so I commend PMDG for a job well done!

ENB was never stable on my system in FSX....no mattter which ENB I used. Eventually it would crash the sim if I changed from full screen to windowed mode and back. And, if I tried ending a FsPX flight, most of the time ENB would cause another crash. I can use ENB with FS9 without issues.

I'm gald to see you got this VA up and running. Looks like it's catching on quite well. Congrats, Nick

I flew my companiy's T7 simulator for 2 hours in February this year and can attest that I had to work the trim quite a bit throughout all phases of flight. The only part of the airplane that I did not have to manipulate much at all was the rudder...only for takeoff roll and landing roll-out. The T7 definitely needs a healthy exercise of the trim.

I just installed the T7 and noticed it has the same active mouse pointer problem (in VC mode) as the 737. Otherwise, I'm seeing 28 FPS on average. Active mouse pointer drops them down to 20 and 24...worse than the 737. Outside view is a solid 30.

Interesting to see this. I installed the airplane today. Opened the Ops center and it says I need to update the Ops center. I tried but a message says there is a problem...try again. I did but get the same message. No need for me to try and download any liveries if the Ops center can't update itself :wacko:

Yeah, it is bad autopilot logic built into this airplane. Even disabling the fly by wire system still causes the "vertical dance" but not nearly as bad.
