Hi Folks, currently i´m reinstalling P3D from scratch (latest version), trying to update the Operation Center, it´s unbelievable slow and after a while an error message pops up : Download failed "Product Module 737NGX-P3D.dll has failed to download after three attempts. Please try again". I´ve been trying for a while now, but there seems to be something wrong with the update server. Livery download is as fast as usual, without delays nor problems. Activation also worked flawlessly. Any clue what might be wrong ? (Btw : P3D exclusive rig, AV deactivated by Group Policy, Firewall off, UAC disabled) Your help is greatly appreciated. Regards, Lars

You´re welcome :smile: Credits go to Bryan, he helped me to figure it out ! Regards, Lars

That would certainly be a great plus ! In this case i would take the plunge and buy it, looks really nice :smile: Regards, Lars

Thanks for your support and quick update ! it´s a lovely plane. Now i´m just waiting for GTN 750 integration :wink: Regards, Lars

Unfortunately i´m on the same boat ! registred, purchased it (a nightmare due to constant server errors), still trying to download it , very slow and got no email either with registration details. Hopefully they solve the server issues son Edit : just now i received the emails from xtreme with serial and order confirmation :smile:

Hi Dave, What you´re experiencing is a known flaw / issue inherent to FSX, it´s not aircraft specific as far as i´m aware. (Please, other forum members chime in and correct me if i´m wrong). Btw., this does not happen in P3D anymore, apparently they found a "cure" for the cursor issue. Lars

To be honest, i don´t really care about a few frames more or less, fluidity is the key, you can partly achieve this with fairly modern hardware, but also a properly configured OS and proper system maintenance. But there are a lot of threads available here, to help you out. Obviously all depends on how many bucks you are willing to spend. So, for now, i´ll stick with what i have. When my PC dies, i´ll have the same dilemma as you :wink: Hopefully you´ll get it sorted out. Lars

Hi Martin, your absolutely right about "cooling", i just mentioned the watercooling, because when i build my PC i had no choice and bought a Corsair H80i (not the best choice and makes a hell of a noise at full power, though very efficient). Unfortunately, i live on a small island and if i want to get specific hardware, it´s sometimes a major "P.I.T.A". Actually, i´m also considering to buy a nice Air Cooling System, when the time is right. By no means i wanted "Midcon" to buy a Water Cooling, it was just a suggestion :smile: As we all know, there are a million ways to build a PC for our specific needs. Regards, Lars

The setup you listed is exactly the same that i´m using with P3D V3 and i´m more tan happy with the performance. My I5-6600K is overclocked at 4,5 GHz with watercooling and runs very stable. FYI, i use only complex stuff like ORBX, PMDG, etc. Even though you will need to make some compromises, when you fly with complex aircraft and dense scenery, you have to balance your settings accordingly. I can easily get about 60 Fps with a PMDG aircraft in complex scenery. Obviously, if your budget is high enough, you might consider getting the best you can. At least i´m very happy with my setup and it gives me lots of power for complex stuff with moderate to high settings. Regards, Lars

looks gorgeous ! I´d love to have it in my hangar.

Thanks Ray ! guess it´s time to reconsider getting my CJ2 out of the hangar again and try it :wink: Regards, Lars

Unfortunately i´m in the same boat, not working, just opened a ticket, hopefully they´ll reply. Anyway it´s one of my favorite planes and i would even pay the full price again, but if i can save 10 bucks, i´ll keep them for my next purchase :smile:

Strange, i don´t have FXAA on and i don´t have IE or Edge running in the background. Fact is, i use pretty standard settings : 4xMSAA (in game), Aniso x16, FXAA = OFF and SGSSAA x4 (Nvidia Inspector), i´ll have to keep investigating.

unfortunately i´m having the same problem, since i´m using Windows 10, i also had this issue with FSX-SE and now that i´m using Prepar3D 3.1 it still persists, so my guess is that it is related to the new Windows versión. I found out, that this mainly happens when using 2D popups, specially the CDU and when the mouse cursor hovers over a clickspot, apart of the mentioned flashing and flickering , a second cursor appears next to it, about 1 inch to the right (it´s a bit smaller tan the original, but also flashes and flickers). Sorry, but english is not my native language and it´s a bit hard to explain. I tried to make a screenshot of this issue, but it only happens when the cursor is moving, so i can´t capture it ! This only happens with the NGX and the 777, having no problems with other aircraft. Are there any specific graphic settings needed in Windows 10 in order to run PMDG aircraft ? Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Best regards, Lars

Thanks Kyle !

Hi, 4 days ago i opened a support ticket (billing/license issue) and still didn´t get a response. Don´t missunderstand me, by no means i´m complaining, i was just wondering if there was a problem with the support-ticket system. The only two tickets i opened time ago were answered even the same day, so i know that your support is pretty fast and efficient. Any help is greatly appreciated, Best regards, Lars Stahmann

Hi, Nassau, Rome, Bonaire and Svolvaer actually use SODE 1.21. Just popped over to the aerosoft forum and one of the support staff members stated, that they just received an email from the developer of LOWS, confirming that LOWS will aslo work with SODE 1.21. Lars Sorry, i hit the "send" button too early ! more information can be found at the Aerosoft Support Forum, there´s a pinned Topic on top regarding SODE issues and hopefully some workarounds. Lars

i can only second that, if i install LOWS it will break at least 4 other (Aerosoft) airports. Actually it looks great, yesterday i bought it , but i,ve not installed it because of the SODE incompatibilities. Another concern is the lack of support : no website, no fórum (only russian), so i´ll wait for a little bit more feedback from users or maybe from the developer and see if there is a way to install this scenery, without breaking others. Lars

Yes Steve, that was the first thing i did, also resetted the NVI profile and build a new one. I must have a "Gremlin" somewhere .

Thanks for your answer, No, there is no microscopic line, except if you refer to the upper menu bar, obviously it´s very tiny, though quite readable with DSR factor 4, wich btw. gives me nice performance. I´ll keep on trying, must be a Windows 10 issue as i never experienced this with Windows 7. Regards Lars

Hello, since DSR came out , i´ve been using it successfully on Windows 7-64 and a 660TI, never had any issues. Unfortunately my Mobo died and i had to buy new hardware, also took the plunge and installed a fresh Windows 10. So now I´m running FSX-SE (alone) on Windows 10 with a GTX970 4GB. So far so good, to be honest everything works great and smooth, except for one thing : As mentioned i use FSX-SE in DX10 (Steves Fixer with same settings i had on Windows 7) combined with appropriate NVI settings and combined with DSR factor 4 and 33% smoothing, wich works great for me, the only annoying problem is that whenever i switch to fullscreen to enable DSR and move the mouse pointer over a clickspot, it becomes huge (about 4 times its original size), as i move away from the clickspot, it recovers its normal size.(never happened in Windows 7) Did anybody else experience the same ? Searching google didn´t give me any answers, btw. i tried literally everything : different AA settings, different mouse pointers, enabling and disabling pointer shadows, etc.,etc., but no luck. FSX is running as Administrator,so i´m really clueless and tired. Does FSX-SE need to run in any compatibility mode in Windows 10 ? I have latest Nvidia Drivers installed and Windows fully updated. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Lars Stahmann

Hi, confirmed . My lazy Copilot won´t turn them off either. Regards Lars

Ok Folks, just a little update on the checklist issue, the problem is solved. In case anybody else experiences the same problem, just make sure you only run the Transit Checklists on the second flight of the day or later. Or Open the Config Panel-> CFG->Setup and change "First Flight of the day" to NO, doing so you can also use the Transit Checklists . Regards Lars

Hi Bryan, Thanks for looking into issue Nr. 1. Regarding issue Nr. 2, as i mentioned in my previous post : I´m stupid ! I used the PA-Menu instead of speaking it. So i´m off for another flight and test it. Regards Lars
