Rob,I'm a motorsports fan, what kinda racing was this man into?Gotta link to the story? Thanx,Ken>Sad news :( you know the owner died last month in racing>accident.>>Rob

Based on the screen shots of Kai Tak linked here to FlyTampa, I went out and bought my 1st scenery addon, FlyTampa-Maarten. I must say, not unlike the PMDG 747x it's a jaw dropper.Here's a sampler clip I put together:You Tube hi res https://home.comcast.net/~funknnasty/images/newTNCM.wmvKenNote: I'm relatively new to flight sims. I started with FSX and have never purchased a scenery pack, so I can't compare this to other scenery's.

OMG! Those updated 747X paints are SICK! Especially that JAL cargo!You guys are freaks! :-)Ken C.

Downloaded your new KSFo today, Don. Love the expanded layout!I tested WOAI with it and there are taxi issues with planes arriving on 28R ....other than that, I dig the new track.You know anyone with a KSFO scenery with the now demolished Rotunda A removed from Terminal 1? thanx for your time,Ken>I've been trying to create KSFO for the past couple of months>and I'm not very satisfied with the results of my efforts. Too>bad the default airports are so inadequate.>

MHZ's win. Whatever Intel Q or E processor you run the one with the most MHZ's is going to win, regardless of cores with FSX. The 45nm processors are the superior processors for overclocking.I just switched from a E6600 running at 2.8 ghz to a E8400 running at 3.6ghz. The performance gain within FSX scaled with the MHZ's.My friend has the Q6600 running at 3.6ghz and are scores pretty much mirror each other ....maybe a slight edge to my processor. However, mine is consuming something like 65 watts vs his 100 watts (1.22v vs his 1.40 volts). Ken

I've experienced replay related irregularities with the PMDG 747x after using Accelerator aircraft. Not sure what the problem is but I can say that the problems went away after un-installing Accelerator. Important note: I didn't un-install FSX Service Pack 2 I just un-installed Accelerator, they're separate installs. Ken

Be advised: there is no to/ga "screw" on the mcp in the virtual cockpit of the fsx pmdg 747 (747x). You must use the to/ga lever at the base of the throttle control arms -like in the real cockpit, i assume. You can also you use the pmdg key assignment utility to assign a short cut to the to/ga switch.Ken

The animations work with the 747X. Just couple of things I did to manage similar problem:1) I uninstalled Accelerated, may not be applicable to you -####, it may not even be necessary, but that's what I did.2) Start up FSX and load up the default FSX "free flight" -the glider flight will do- I let it run for a few seconds. I then exit completely out of FSX. It's important that you do not hit the end flight button. 3) Start up FSX and load up your favorite PMDG 747 ....you should be good to go.To ensure that I don't have a repeat of the above mentioned problem:A) I never change PMDG 747's during the same session of FSX -I always exit out of the sim. Again try to refrain from using the "exit flight" option from the menu bar. b)Never, I mean never, let your flight end with your aircraft crashing, as this will reset the flight, which has the same effect as loading another PMDG 747 during the same session. c)If any this happens to ya during an FSX session while using the PMDG, you must repeat step #2 listed above to clear the condition.Again, this assumes you have the same condition I've dealt with.Hope it helps,Ken

Dude, fighter pilots have been known up to detect 150 flashes of light per second.Cheers

I've seen it with my own eyes.Having witnessed perhaps a 1000 take-offs at KSFO as kid and young adult I can say I've seen 747's use only half of the 7500' RNWY 1R at SFO and climb to 2500' while still over the runway ...looks like a rocket.er, rnwy 1L

The only way I could get the "animations" back was to uninstall the FSX Accelerator Pack. I didn't have to uninstall the entire FSX program just Accelerator.Just guessing here, but I think it may have something to do with the FSX Accelerator aircraft. I say this because everything seemed fine with the PMDG replays until I took a FSX Accelerator aircraft out for a ride ...my PMDG replays were hosed after that. I have no laboratory evidence to support this theory, yet. I will install Accelerator at a later time to see if this theory holds true.

Not an answer, but I think I have have a work around, works for me anyway:When I'm ready to exit a flight while using the 747x I use the "flights" heading on the menu bar then under "flights" I hit "exit" If at anytime I use the "end flight" from the menu bar or the dialog box after hitting the "esc" key I will get a fatal error when I exit FSX ....Everytime. In a nut shell, when I'm ready to exit the plane, I'm exiting the game and restarting FSX before I go back to the cockpit, any cockpit, even a default FSX aircraft.

I used PayPal.

Thanx for the reply, John. All I really needed to know at this point was that I'm not alone with this condition.Ken

I have yet to get through a replay without experiencing an FSX.EXE failure to respond while using the 747x. The symptom is always a black screen, with the only remedy being to close FSX through Task Manager.My system:XPe66002 gigs ram8800 gts 640, with latest driversSoundBlaster Extreme GamerInstalled Software:FSX AcceleratorLevel D 767 -for FSXBest regards,Ken Carlin

wrong thread :-)

25 to 100% performance boost with the affinity set at 2. Running the 3 setting gives me the same performnce as I get with no tweak -major lags, stutters and blurries. I'm on a e6600Ati 1900xt2 gig ramXp 32With the tweak at the "2" setting:Settings all but maxed out, running at 20 to 30+ fps (Paris Airshow), with Fraps running.My understanding of the tweak is it simply switches the job handling from core 1 to core 2, leaving headroom for the 1st core to handle system processes and any 3 third party utilities -such as fraps, that will only call on core one.Before the tweak, I couldn't even use fraps, as my frames rates would fall into into the single digits, if not a complete momentary stall.Edit: My claimed performance increase is over preSP1 with the same settings.

For you guys with dual core processors who have installed SP1 with disappointing results. Add a section "[Jobsheduler]" with a line "AffinityMask=2" to the top of your FSX.CFG file. It's absolutely necessary to get SP1 to work as advertised.Guys, i'm still in the wow stage since adding this "tweak".[JOBSCHEDULER]AffinityMask=2The fsx.cfg file is found here; C:Documents and SettingsusernameApplication DataMicrosoftFSX

Anyone know where I can buy a pirated copy of Vista? .....I didn't think so.

WHERE TO LAND?I'm having a devil of time trying to complete this mission.Two questions:1) What time do I have beat to set the course record?2) Where in the heck do I have to land the glider to get credit for completing the mission? After completing the course -clean, and being shown the airport as the next way point, I keep getting a "mission failed","Our telemetry shows that you had an off-landing", whenever I land. I've landed on the runway, grass area of airport, taxi way and even the on the adjacent golf course but always get the same "mission failed" statement .....I'm stumped!Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.thanx,kenP.S. I've completed 50 of the 51 missions with this freaking glider mission being the last ...All WANT IS THE GREEN CHECK!!!!Heck, I'm not even a glider fan but have spent more time on the P.I.T.A mission than I'd care to admit.
