Excited! This will definitely make me switch to Prepar3d.

I had the all-engine smoke a few times on first load of the cold and dark cockpit when I first installed the 744X (updated version) on a fresh install of XP+SP2 and FSX+SP1. Re-loading the plane fixed it each time. It doesn't seem to happen as often now.Paul

Hi all,I've been perusing AVSIM forums for a couple of years, and thought it was time I dived in!I had the same questions on the Matrox resolution - please find below an email and reply from Matrox this week on the topic (I presume Matrox won't mind me copying the email here).Hope this helps,Paul From: Paul Egan Sent: 09 October 2007 13:59To: Andrea JacksonCc: Cecilia WillsSubject: TripleHead2Go-digital enquiryDear Matrox,I am very interested in purchasing your TripleHead2Go digital. However I want to use 3 24" monitors in their native resolution only (1920x1200 x3 = 5760x1200). Could you tell me if you are planning to increase your maximum resolution from 3840 x 1024?I understand DirectX9 has a maximum resolution of 4096x4096 and DirectX10 in Vista 8192x8192.Any info much appreciated.Kind regards,Paul----- Original Message ----From: Andrea JacksonTo: Paul EganSent: Tuesday, 9 October, 2007 4:30:47 PMSubject: RE: TripleHead2Go-digital enquiryHi Paul Thank you for your email and apologies for the delay in getting back to you. The resolution limitation is not actually one that we can change at this time. It is dependent on quite a few other things. The first in DX9. It has a horizontal pixel limitation of 4096. EDID (the communications protocol used between monitors and graphics cards) also has the same resolution limitation.This means that the maximum horizontal resolution that we can do is 1360 per display or 4080, as 4096 divided by three is 1365.333 and there aren't any monitors on the market that can do this resolution. This has changed in DX10 but the GXMs are DX9 parts at the moment. There is still going to be the EDID issue to overcome, even if we did change the GXMs to DX10. I hope that I've answered your questions but please don't hesitate to come back to me if you need anything elseRegardsAndrea Jackson Matrox Graphics UKAny views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of Matrox Graphics Inc.

Hi Tom,have you tried disabling your antivirus software while running FSX?Paul
