Might be, Michel. Altough my CTDs mostly occur when using Carenados C90B or the B1900D (my rig has a hard time running especially that one) I really could use a state of the art gpu, I guess I reckon lack of vRAM is why I have the occasional fps-plunges every 30-60 second when flying the before mentioned aircrafts(?) Hmmm, it might be placebo (…) but it seems to run a nudge smoother !

And to get right back on track, here's one I welcome from the latest 10.31r: Saving a situation with the avionics power switch off now correctly restores without failing all avionics equipmentI also experienced trouble recovering (avionics, AP, FD) after CTD, and hopefully this has gotten better. Testing testing.. Bernt

And its that reference showing up every now and then. I read in another typical endless debate on ground-handling in X-Plane, a bunch of users aired their frustration trying their best to understand and explain the scientific level of programming behind it all.. And one of them just cut through saying sometimes he gets tired of all the tweaking and understanding, and just wanna fire up something that "seems to work right out of the box" (referring to DCS) Furthermore adding "I dont know what the guys over there are doing but it just feels right" Flying some of the models offered by the DCS-world one has to admit there is feeling of realistic flavour to movement, inertia, handling etc. (Despite few of us has ever been behind the controls of a A-10 flying) It manages to convince nonetheless. Would love to see some of that high-fidelity flight model-programming in X-plane, and so does many DCS users if you read various DCS-forums. But doing comparison on a broader scale might be unfair as they are totally different approaches to the flying experience. Sorry for bringing this post way off, but to my knowledge you wont find any commercial airliner models within DCS. regards Bernt Michael

Heck! The guys over at DCS will be flying saucers before weather gets justified in X-Plane ^_^ Bernt Michael

With regards to ATC, weather, AI, seasonal textures and a more clean/logical user interface - make it a bit more like FSX/Prepar3d - ONLY better! X-Plane has the potential to do this better or more realistic, in my view. Unfortunately these are some of the key factors keeping the majority of flightsimmers tied to FSX and lately Prepar3d. I have been a simmer since 1982, most of the time "flying for Microsoft". Honestly I have to admit the most realistic flying experience, from a desktop perspective has been with X-Plane. When XP also offers immersion, realism and ATC/AI out of the box it will be hard to compete against.

You need a program that allows you to set new camera definitions. I only know of EZdok. Its a payware program developed some time ago, and support is almost 0. But personally I could not live without it, especially with the NGX. Then you can make as many new camera views you like and make keyboard shortcuts to switch views. I have one especially for landings, its a HUD zoom. Good luck!

Hi, if you are referring to strobes they dont flash while airborne. You can see the "bulb" flashing as a small white dot placed at the wingtip, but you will not see the flash-effect. I guess PMDG modelled it this way not to disturb you while flying the aircraft and the fact that strobes are mostly visible due to reflecting off ground and/or surroundings. The effect is very accurate on ground, those powerfull strobes will illuminate the ground (and in real life surroundings) I whish though, that the effect could be turned on while flying through clouds or fog. But I dont know if FSX "is aware" wether or not your AC is in or outside a cloud ;-) If my memory serves me right, I believe FS5 had that ability..the grey wall that resembled clouds flashed as you passed through it with your strobes turned on. As for anti-collision lights they reflect off the fuselage and engine covers/inlet. best regards

Hi, During "Before Start Checklist" my FO consequently rushes from checklist item CDU Preflight to the next Rudder and Aileron Trim without pause. This has been going on for a week now, it did not start after the last update but some while after. Besides this little quirk my FS2Crew works like a swiss clock. I have also been using EZDok and OpusFSX alongside appearantly without problems before this phenomena started. regards

Hi, Howard. To me this looks like keyboard shortcut-conflicts. To be more precise; your EZDok "next-view" is in conflict with another internal FSX shortcut. I had the same flicker as seen in your video. Making sure I did not have multiple assignments to keyboard shortcuts resolved the issue in my case. I see from your cfg you do run EZDok. Good luck! PS, and sorry - I see someone has already mentioned ezdok.

Agree! I could easily settle with ACARS just drawing info from AS, or RealWX. Real world metar sometimes differ from NOAA, VATSIM or whatever, so you just can't google the weather at your destination. And yes, I like my FSX NGX in fullscreen (RealWx stays neatly in the background :-) best regards

Great! Thankyou, Markus.

Hi, I guess most of you would like to have your AC powered while on ground without draining the battery. I was hoping for some kind of added value to the modeled switch in the C90, - I mean, why make the switch work but without its proper function? Does anyone know if this feature has been mentioned from Carenado ? best regards

EZDok is a must, and I especially enjoy getting around my NGX cockpit way better and gracefully than before. But Im really struggling to set up the effect generators, this is heavy duty. I hope some genious would come up with the right settings to share with all of us NGX heads. But before that happens it would be of great help if the developers shared some more knowledge and created setups for the major addons people prefer. Other than that I really hope v1.18 incorporate vibrations based upon rpm. Imagine having the camera increase vibration as your engines come to life and furthermore everytime you drive that N1 to takeoff-thrust :yahoo: cheers

Mostly my FPS pleases me considering I have UT2 running at 100% traffic.At larger busy airports (e.g. EGLL from Aerosoft) things can slow to about 10-20 FPS.At smaller airports I get 20-40 and on cruise (fair weather) I normally see from 40-70 FPS. I only fly VC. No overclocking. Most slider to the right but a few changes to config. Spec in sign.regards

With the latest Catalyst 12.3 I had similar issues, except my whole screen turned black (audio kept running).So I reverted back to previous drivers.Good luck!
