I would also like to know how XP 10 and 13.6beta runs? Anyone?

I have a ton more IMC to VMC cloud shots, when i return home from work I'll post more of them. Can I continue to post those images here or do they need to be in another thread becuase this one contains 10 images?

A few pics from my flying adventures over the past 5 years. Hope everyone enjoys the pics.Scott CFII/ACommercial AMEL, ASEL: Instrumet

I will try the voice dissable option later when I get home, however, I think that is for headset voice volume when using sim mulitplayer connect. Thanks for the suggestions. I have been on the hunt for an FSX version of a Saab 340 but cant seem to find one. It seems the only payware version that exsisted was the Flight Factory Simulations model and we all know what happened to them :( . Any sugestions on another company that makes a payware 340 for FSX?

THanks for the repy, much appreciated. First mistake was mine, I checked NOTAMS box and it just so happens there was a NOTAM out for ODP's and Visual Clearance for the Prescott Area. RC then wanted my to report back on course, however, the way it had me report on course was wierd. The #3 selection was "req blah blah NOTAM". I thought that was "request NOTAMS for flight" .... DOH. Live and learn. Now if i could only get this RC ATC and FSX ATC Voice sorted out, its really a PITA to hear both at the same time. I have checked FSX for a "ATC Sound Level" but can't seem to find it. Maybe some FSX users will know how to disable ATC Sound. Good call on FSBuild thats exactly what im looking for, I dont need a moving map any just something to build structured flightplans!BTW, I see MSP as your base, do you fly for Mesaba or NWA?THanks Scott

First let me say I love the idea of RC for advanced users. It finally gives me the ability and control to fly how I'm used to in the real world. A little background information to get started would be good, ehh. Currently runing FSX SP1 w/ Vista 32 bit while ASX/UTX are taking care of the graphics. System specs are listed below. Now onto the problems. Program loads fine but I still hear FSX ATC in the background. For example, If I'm checking ATIS via RC, I still hear FSX ATC announce the ATIS ontop of RC's auido. This problem presists during the flight as well, I still hear FSX's ATC blaber, is there a way to fix this problem? Currently I'm using FSX's flight planner and it is horrible, no ability to enter STARS or DP's, can someone suggest a good Flight planning program? Payware or freeware, dosen't matter to me. Last question, I was flying a short Beech 1900 hop from Prescott, Az to Phoenix Sky Harbor to test out RC and I'm just not 100% sure I'm setting RC up correctly. After departure I was handed off to ABQ Center and then from that point on I never herd for a soul again. Something isn't right here, I wasn't handed off to Phoenix Approach, never told to contact tower, no landing clearance, ect....... Here is the route that I flew.KPRC.DRK.MAIER.V257.BANYO.PXR.KPHXAround BANYO (30DME)PHoenix Class B, I was expecting to be handed off to Phoenix Approach, get clearance into class B, then I could request specific approaches into PHX. Could someone help me and letme know what im doing wrong.ThanksScott

Like many have said the FSX G1000 is not 100% accurate to the real Aircraft but I can tell you this from a pilots perspective having over 50 hours in a Cessna 172S Nav III. The real G1000 system, at least the aircraft I have flown DO NOT have ADF/NDB functionality. You can still use the same principles of ADF navigation w/ a RMI which it is equipped with. I know its a far stretch to say its the same principles but essentially an RMI is just a movable card ADF w/ out the NDB station. RMI obviously uses VOR orientation.

Why are you lowering the multiplier? Tests show by doing that you really only increase synthetic benchmarks, ie (super pi, pc mark, ect.) Why not just run a ram divider if your try to squeeze the extra little bit outa the ram? The temps look fine, what are you using to load the processor, Prime Small FTT Torture test? If it were my processor i would go NO MORE than 70C but 65C is a comfort zone. I have seen guys go all the way up to 80+C and thats just pure insanity. I'll play around a little and see what performance difference there is in running (400x8) vrs (355x9). Right now the max overclock on my chip is around 3.9ghz, temps are not holding me back but the vdrop on the mobo is. I cant stand setting 1.59 volts in the bios and havin the board drop .08-.1 volts under full load. BTW how is fsx running for you and what settings are you using? Im having a hard time finding good medium between a OC'ing and FSX settings.scott

When you lape you need to make sure and lape the base of the HSF as well. Most times the basses of the HSF aren't 100% flat either. I'm assuming when you lapped the processor you used a piece of glass with the specific grit sand paper. Post some pics of the lapped processor. One thing you can do to check if it is 100% flat is to use a razor blade and light source (flash light). On a side note I feel you pain w/ ambient temps, I live in phoneix and it's still in the 100's right now. If you need any help OC'ing w/ the IP35Pro visit XS forums, there is an entire thread dedicated to the mobo. Scott

Nice build, Enjoy the new computer! You can see the specs of my rig in my signature. What kinda of temps are you looking at w/ your HSF under full load?Cheers,Scott

Seems ASX started working again. I am now only opening ASX and the textures load fine. It seems when i have both ASX and XG open the error occurs. Crossing my fingers I didnt just jinx myself here.Thanks for the help, Scott

Would someone mind helping me out w/ the install of this A/C. Im a little daft when it comes to installing FS9 A/C in FSX. Do i just click and drag the appropriate files into the respective folders?Thanks Scott

Wait for Intel's X38 Chipset, they will have cual 16x PCI-E slots. 680i can be a huge PITA if you plan to OC' on certain revisions. P35's are great for OC'ing but looks like your planning on going Sli at some point so its pretty much out of the equation.

I'll give the drivers a shot. Every nivida driver right now seems to be horrible. Everytime I load FSX i get all these wierd colored shapes where the runway, wings, ect. are suppose to be for a few seconds. Not sure if this is driver problem or FSX problem. Report back in a few with results.Scott

Jim, I only see the first window saying its going to load the textures from XG. Scott

Jim, Im loading the textures via the "Report Tab" in ASX. I enter the station for my local airport the click "Install X-Graphics Textures" This generally prompts another screen where it asks me if I want to load the textures. ASX never prompts me to do that however the program dosen't freeze or shutdown. It simply acts like I never asked it to load a specific set of textures from XG based on the real time weather from ASX. I'm almost 100% sure I'm in Administrator mode, Vista asks me if i want to run the application everytime i start it. Sorry about my previous comments, i was simply frustrated, when i can get ASX/XG to work it is some of the best scenery i have ever seen. thanks Scott

Just built a new computer and figured my "Hi-Fi" woes would be gone, I guess that was optimistic thinking on my part. Im currently running ASX/X-Graphics bundle and the program always seems to hang and never load the textures properly. After selecting the station/local area I'm flying, I click install textures and the program never cycles to the next prompt where it asks me "yes" "no" ... blah blah. I had this problem before when running XP after the SP1 B1083 B279 update and still have the problem w/ Vista Ult. and the update. I have tried un-installing and nothing seems to work. Every now and then it will decide to load textures, this seems to occur when I launch X-Graphics first then launch ASX. I'm about to say goodbye to Hi Fi and any future products. This whole expierence has been nothing but aggravating. Thanks for the help and sorry for the complaints.ScottPC:Abit IP35 Pro.

I'm having the same issue. Load ASX w/ SP1 and it just hangs. I have tried un-installing and re-installing, nothing seems to work. Operating system is Windows XP Pro SP2.Well now I'm getting some MSXML4 SP2 Error and cant even start FSX. Wish I would have never updated ASX in the first place.

THe Localizer is off set becuase of humphry's peak to the northwest and the smaller mounting just the the southeast of that. If you really want to know why the restrictions are placed there you should refer to the TERPS manual. It's basicly a 4 in' thick manual made by the FAA that talks about the design and aplication of IFR regs. and rules. I have flown the approach into FLag a couple times (real life) and its not teribly difficult. Only thing to consider is your IAF. If you start at FLG then its just out bound, PT, then inbound. If you start at Frissy make sure you use the lead radial for your turn inbound on the localizer (040 LR). If you want to shoot some quality approcaches go to Prescott (KRPC) they have a VOR/DME Arc, 2 GPS/Rnav, ILS. Everyone has pretty much got everything elese.

I will let you know here shortly. I recieved my step-up request from Evga today. Trading in my 7950Gx2. :)

Eddy,Your exactly right. After time, espically with a 6800GT (AGP) im assuming, nvida will stop releasing updates for a card that isnt in production anymore. I had a LedTek 6800GT AGP and used a "8" series driver for it with FSX. Granite the performance was minimal compared to my 7950Gx2 but it still performed well. I could be wrong, but off the top of my head i believe the drivers i was using with my 6800Gt were the forceware 81.94 or 81.98's whql. Hope this helps, its' been awhile since i ran an AGP GPU. On another note, check your AGP aperature rate as well. There are a few articles here that explain where you want to set that rate based on your systems RAM.BTW.... these new drivers work GREAT on my system. No problems at all.Here are all the fixes with the drives, except for the clock frequencies:Resolved Issues for 32-bit Operating SystemsSingle-GPU Issues Resolved

>Is there a clear method as far as setting preferences within>FSX or from within Nvidia as far as AA and anisotropy? Do you>let the app control or do you change settings from Nvidia? And>if you do, what settings in FSX?It depends on the profile they have created in the new drivers. You must select what settings you want in the "manage 3d settings". They can either be global settings or profile oriented. I currently am using Xtreme Systems 92.91 drivers and have had no problems. Depending on you graphics card I would suggest keeping you profiles to application controlled. To the OP, did you use driver cleaner pro after the un-install of the 91.47 drivers. If you didn't, from now on make sure you run DC Pro in safe mode to clear off all nvida's crap before you install the new set of drivers.ScottMy Rig:AMD x2 4800AsRock 939 Dual Sata 22 Gig OCZ Platnium Evga 7950 GX2Pc P&C 510 SliCreative X-Fi Plat.
