Haha it's almost creepy how you know this :-P

Well I feel really stupid now, I just figured it out, what a beautiful aircraft!!!!!

Thanks I saw this video but it doesn't help me to see someone else do it lol

So I'm abit embarrassed to post this question as I've been simming for the better part of 14 years now, and I've never used trim control until now, and apparently it is needed for the 747-8i to lift off the runway... I found the nob below the engines in the default panel, I tried +4,+8/+10° and -4/-8/10° configurations with 10 or 20° flaps, no dice the plane won't budge off the runway...The plane looks marvelous and I'd love to be able to use it as an airbus (no pun intended) as opposed to a regular bus that runs into trees and what not.Thanks in advance :-)

Would anyone recommend this utility over any mainline defrag carrier such as disk keeper? I've used jkdefrag in the past and really liked its light weight impact on my system...

"One question looking at your specs is why are you running 4GB of RAM (2x 2GB modules) on a 1366/X58 platform which uses a triple channel memory configuration?"Well when he first built the computer he bought an E6600, he then got a free i7 at work so never changed the RAM... Would triple channel make a big difference?Also I found out the cooler he has for the processor, it is a GeminiII S seen here:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16835103046Would that be enough to overclock the i7? It looks big but smaller than the one posted further up on this thread...Oh and our MOBO is the ASUS Rampage II Gen Thanks so much for all you guys' help :-)

Hey there,thanks for the reply! Well yeah I want to use his guide which is why I did the first part... Where he says to reboot upon completion of every step (SP 1, SP 2, etc), anything below that I haven't yet done and I will... I was just surprised is all... The there would be such stutters...I'm really excite about FS X, all my life I've only playes on a 15 inch laptop so imagine how happy I would be to get it to run decently on a 24 inch screen :):)

OK so I just bought with my brother a new rig that he built. It has the following:Core i7 920 no overclocking done yet4 GB of DDR3Gainward Gold GTX 260 896 MB of DDR3500 GB HD 7,200 RPM24 inch Iiyama screen in 1920x1080 setting.So I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64,I installed FS X, loaded up the first flight, rebooted the computer, installed SP 1, loaded flight, rebooted, loaded SP 2, first flight, rebooted, and then started flying.I put all settings on max, except traffic for everything at 5-10%. I get 7-14 FPS (I have NO add ons installed). and I'm playing at a low resolution for a 24 inch (1380 by 768)When I put the autogen to none or sparse and remove the ground scenery cast shadows options, I get 15 to 25 FPS but very stuttery (I have the FPS locked at 24) like it'll be at 24 FPS for 3 seconds then go down to 4 and ruin the whole sim experience, I flew in spot plane mode around KSEA with all default, a few clouds, etc...I'm just scared because this is all default, no add ons... I thought the rig I had was considered mid/high end... My wndows 7 index is 5.9 (for the Hard Drive reading time, everything else is above 7)Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to chill? I haven't applied any other tweaks such as on herehttp://www.simforums.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=29041Would those tweaks prove succesfful? Is there no rig today that can run FS X completely maxed out with no add ons?Please help me :( I got so frustrated I just reinstalled FS 9 (which runs like a charm obviously)Thanks!!Will

Hi guys,I'm looking at upgrading my computer and came across this deal from Newegg:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...82E16883227146RThe sale is just for the tower keyboard and mouse but it's an i7 920 with 6 GB of triple channel DDR 3 1333 MHz and a GTX 285, comes with 1 TB SATA IIWould I be able to overclock the CPU to a stable 4GHz eventhough I am not building it from scratch? Would that prove more difficult? What could I possibly change that would make the PC more optimized for FS X? (Faster Hard Drive, more RAM, etc...)I'm already planning on putting Windows 7 RC on it.I guess I am asking because the PC is $1,299 on sale for $1,049 which to me seems like a really good deal...Look forward to some imput! :-)AC881

Hi all,Future Shop in Canada has a sale right now for this righttp://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetai...61CF1946F8F6837I just want to know if it'll run FS X smoothly all maxed out. It has ALOT of RAM and I heard the i7 does wonders.Any thoughts appreciated :-) For the price, not sure one can beat that lol

Thank you so much Holger, problem solved using your advice :)

K, reinstalling FScene got rid of the grassy textures but now I don't know whether the city textures are those FScene or Vancouver+... The downtown core and the farm land looks like Vancouver+ so I'm guessing so is the rest?

Thank you very much Holger, yes I have various textures sets, from FScene 2004 to other individual ones, but I don't know if I like them, I guess I thought that the Vancouver+ textures should override those? How to I revert back to the default ground textures without doing a total reinstall? Would reinstalling, say FScene potentially solve the problem? I think those are ground textures, not sure though, I'm still kind of new when it comes to all the various components of Flight Sim...Thanks again :-)

I do not know how this happened, I just uploaded them to the avsim server at the end of my post :(

I thought I did post screenshots? Do you not see them? I'll try putting AES on top :)
