Hi All, Yes. I've called the upcoming sim FS 2020. Sorry but you all know what I mean. Having been extremely disappointed that I wasn't accepted for the first round of alpha testers (just kiddin') I was wondering if any members here perhaps were? Now, I'm not expecting a definitive yes due to probable NDA but was wondering what the FS 2020 team were looking for in terms of initial testers. Would it be people with incredible rigs with real cockpits, multi-monitors, the most up-to-date hardware, etc. or perhaps the more 'general' setup. What do you guys think? Cheers Darren

thanks for the speedy reply. I'm also using Nvidia Inspector if that makes any difference? Sorry for the noobish questions!

Hi All, I've just returned to FSX after 5 years and installed it today along with SteveFX DX10 and some Orbx addons. I've got an RTX-2070 GPU, i7 6700K 4.00Ghz processor, 16GB ram. I was flying in a stock Cessna 172SP and was only getting about 15-17 fps. I've been playing around with my fsx.cfg and maybe broke something? Any advice / tips really appreciated. Cheers Daz

Thanks. I've just reinstalled FSX Deluxe and that's all so far.

Hi All, It's been around 5 years since I've played FSX and I've got a new gaming rig and want to reinstall everything from scratch. The thing is I've forgotten how to install eveything, I had had loads of tweaks, etc. some of which aren't probably necessary now. I also have a bunch of Orbx scenery and airports that'll need installing too. My PC is a 4.00Ghz i7 6700K, 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD, RTX2070 GPU, 3 x 24" monitors. Can anyone point me to an install guide or offer any setup tips? TIA Daz

I keep getting an error message about protocol not properly installed...what!

Where's that located. I can't find a link that works!

Hi All, Does anyone know of a P3D related TS server that's online? I tried the AVSIM one but that appears to be down. Quite happy to set one up if we have enough interest? Daz

Yes. Quite happy to pay someone something to help me.

Does anyone have a link to Denali's fix?

I should have said Poppet. Thanks. I've already installed all of the apps named above. Maybe not correctly but all installed. What I'm trying to achieve is the best balance between graphics and FPS. I don't fly heavy. I prefer light. My favourite being the old Cessna 172 which I've imported from FSX into P3D. I have also install the shader realism mod.

Hi All, I simply don't have the patience any more to do this...so I'd prefer to bow down to somebody that has both the skill set and the passion to get me up and running to the best of my rigs ability. To keep things as short as possible. My rig specs to start with: Intel i7 920 @ 2.667ghz. Can overclock to 3.8ghz without issue (using H100i water cooler) Windows 10 64 bit P3D V3 Orbx FTX Global FTX NA FTX EU 3 x Samsung 24" monitors GTX 770 GPU 8GB RAM 250GB SSD REX Essentials+ HD I'd prefer if someone could use Teamviewer to remotely access my machine and configure the above and advise on other items I need to do. TIA Daz

Thanks for the reply. How do I reset NI to defaults for P3D?

I may have screwed up things a little tonight. I've played around with Nvidia Inspector and ever since my FR's have dropped. Granted I was over Elstree in the UK which is highly populated. Guess it's time to drop the quality settings or call in someone who can have a play around for me using Teamviewer....any experts out there fancy having a play with my pc ?

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll have a play later when I get home from the office. I can't seem to work out how to use real world weather like we can in FSX or perhaps P3D doesn't have it?

Hi All, I've installed the latest version of P3D on my rig, then installed FTX Global, FTX UK, REX Essentials+ HD and the Realism Shader pack in that order. I tried a brief flight from KHQM last night and once in the air the graphics were very good but my issue is that even though I used REX to install textures the runway and surround areas didn't look much different. Have I installed something in the wrong order or done something I shouldn't? TIA Daz

Thanks very much. I'm sure I read somewhere, quite some time ago, that you could untick some scenery if you have FTX Global but not sure!

Hi All, I have FTX Global as well as some of their other areas installed. Can I untick some of the default scenery libraries to aid in faster load times, etc? TIA DK

Thanks Steve. I tried that but didn't see any messages whilst flying. I did see a green transparent wall close to the airport but still loads of black blocks where I think trees should be. If I turn on FTX Global it's ok. It seems only to be when flying with FTX North America. Any clues?

yes, they could be trees I guess. Even with DX10 off it still has the same black block problem. I've been flying around San Fran Int.

Hi All, I'm using Steve's retail DX10 fixer and FTX global / North America and I'm getting the occasional group of black blocks where buildings should be. Anyone got any ideas as to how to fix it? TIA DK

I have a modified rain40.fx file from what I remember and can't find the original which explains why Steve's DX10 fixer has the Rain section greyed out. Any idea where I can get the original file from and try that instead? it's ok. I found the original file.

Hi All, I have just installed a Corsair Hydro H100i water cooler and OC'd to 3.8Ghz on an i7 920. I'm running FSX DX10 (with Steve's DX10 fixer applied) and have locked FPS within FSX to 32. In all weather I get reasonable FPS in the 20's (clear skies much higher) but if I turn on some rain it drops down to the mid teens. Any ideas as to what I can do (apart from flying in clear skies!)? Cheers DK

anyone know if I can sell the TH2GO if I'm moving up to a 6 series GPU?

Hi All, Currently, I have a GTX470 connected to a TH2GO and 3 x 24" Samsung T240 monitors. I'm considering an upgrade to a 2GB GTX670 as this, as I understand it, supports up to 3 monitors natively. Does this mean I could do away with my TH2GO unit and connect all 3 monitors to the GTX670? TIA DK
