  1. Hi Can someone mail me the base package also please. ta
  2. !! REMEMBER THE GOLDEN RULE !!!! DO NOT FORGET TO MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR AIRCRAFT.CFG FILE BEFORE MODIFYING !!I recently purcahsed the Carenado Piper PA34 Seneca II for FS2004, and was immediately dismayed to see it bounce violently up and down as it gathered speed along the runway. However, after adding the updated aircraft.cfg file from the Carenado web site to cure the problem, I found that it handled in the air much better than the FSX version, which I've found to be a little twitchy.In an attempt to improve the flight dynamics of the FSX Seneca I tried an experiment in which I copied all the data sections from the updated FS2004 aircraft.cfg - apart from the sections relating to the aircraft's liveries ([fltsim.0] etc) - and pasted them over the data sections in the FSX aircraft.cfg (you do not need to copy the [General] section because it is identical in both versions. To my surprise not only did this modification NOT make a mess of the FSX Seneca as I'd expected because of the large differences between some of the figures in both cfg files, but it made the plane fly perfectly like it does in FS2004!I did find, after my modification, that the nosewheel was buried in the ground slightly, so I replaced the first line in the Contact Points section (the one beginning with: point.0 =) with that from the FSX aircraft.cfg file (of which I had made a backup copy before making any alterations), and the wheel now sits on top of the ground.Before my modification I used to have to increase the elevator trim to +8% to get the plane to rotate, and even then its speed was around the 80 knots mark before it would lift its nosewheel off the ground rather than my checklist's recommendation of 71 knots. Now, it will rotate - as does the FS2004 version - at 71 knots with only +4.1% up elevator trim.If you find it difficult to see over the top of the panel in the virtual cockpit, then edit the [Views] section in the aircraft.cfg file so that it looks like the lines below:-[Views]//eyepoint = -4.9, -1.07, 1.50 //Longitudinal, Lateral, Vertical (feet)eyepoint = -4.9, -1.07, 1.65 //Longitudinal, Lateral, Vertical (feet)If you don't like my modified view then delete the second line, and also delete the two forward slashes (//) at the beginning of the first to make it operable again.Finally, if you would like the choice of flying the aircraft with either two-bladed or three-bladed props for each livery then copy the following sections and paste them into your aircraft.cfg file:-[fltsim.0]title=PA-34 SENECA II BLANK - 3 Blade Propsim=Seneca_Carenadomodel=panel=sound=texture=kb_checklists=seneca_checkkb_reference=seneca_refatc_id=ui_manufacturer="Carenado"ui_type="Seneca"ui_variation="Paint 1"ui_typerole="Twin Engine Prop"ui_createdby="Carenado"description="The Seneca is made since 1970 and some 4500 were made since then.

His livery will also work in FSX so long as you create a texture folder called texture.G-DARA in the FSX Seneca folder, then copy all the files from the Seneca's main texture folder into this new folder before copying the G-DARA texture and thumbnail.jpg files into it and saying Yes to overwrite the files.To avoid having to edit the fltsim sections for the G-DARA livery (to make them compatible with FSX) if you add it to your FSX Seneca, just copy the two sections below and paste them after the last livery section in your aircraft.cfg file (fltsim.8 in the first section below is only relevant if you have used the fltsim sections above, otherwise the two G-DARA sections should be numbered 4 and 5 respectively):[fltsim.8]title=PA-34 PIPER SENECA II G-DARA - 3 Blade Propsim=Seneca_Carenadomodel=panel=sound=texture=G-DARAkb_checklists=seneca_checkkb_reference=seneca_refatc_id=G-DARAui_manufacturer="Carenado"ui_type="Seneca"ui_variation="G-DARA - 3 Blade Prop"ui_typerole="Twin Engine Prop"ui_createdby="Carenado"description="The Piper Seneca is made since 1970 and some 4500 were made since then.

  3. Hi AllThanks for all your replies and comments .I have reset my bios to default settings , and reset the card ( it has a safe mode switch ), Still shutdown when weather is on .Checked the heat out the back of the PSU and Card , nothing that warm to worry about .I have had a look at the PSU site and will take some recommendations from there .I am beginning to think the card is at fault the ASUS control panel on bootup is now setting the shader clock to zero ( usually 1512 )Any more useful comments or ideas will be welcome.Thanks
  4. Hi AllI hope someone here can help meBefore Xmas I purchased a ASUS GTX-285 Matrix , 1gb Video Card to replace the BFG9800gtx I have in my system.My current rig is has Intel Q6600 Quad 2.8 , 4gb on a ASUS P5-nd Mother board with Antec Trupower 850 watt PSU and the Nvidia 195.62 drivers. I have 4 x LG Monitors 19"off a analogue Matrox THGO, running @ 3840 x 1024 and 1440 x 900 resp.In either FS2004 or FSX when ever I run active sky , add real world weather , do an outside view or approach a Aerosoft mega Airport my machine just shuts down dead. I added some temp software to monitor the GPU and CPU temps , but on shutdown everything is within tolerances.I have done some research and found that the my PSU has a 4 Rails each with a 18amp capacity, the card has to 2 x inputs ( 36amps ) and according to various sources this card can pull 40amps , hence the shutdown . I am right here ?I have no interest in overclocking it and when I run it in 2D it has no problems, The funny thing is that the card came shipped with Batman Arkham, I can run that on the TH2go at full spec and it has no problem, Could it be a flight Sim issue ?Just could do with hearing from some experts in field so to speak before I lay out another
