Hi Chris...Million dollar question is that with the OS on the same drive? Or did you mean OS on one disk and deadicated disk just for FSX?Cheerskrishan

HiOk, that's looks pretty clear then there should be a noticable difference, and if I change by graphics card as well.Just for the record can you tell me how you have loaded your FSX, is it in the defasult directory or somewhere else.I just tried loading vista 64 on my main disk and put FSX and add-ons on my Velocity Raptor disk, no real difference, some were syaing they think that would be better, so before I buy the new stuff, want to iron out what is the best load option.cheerskrishan

HiYes its for FSX only, and really its becuase with add-ons like traffic X which hits my FPS I think I may see a real difference, and yes maybe a bit later will also upgrade my graphics card as well.The one thing that as always bothered me is that FSX is single threaded and even though there are other applications like traffic X running, will it make a difference, if FSX was multi-threaded there is no question it will, but in this case I am/was concerned I am throwing money down the pan.

Hi I am thinking of upgrading my PC,my present system is;GA-EP45-DS4 rev. 1.0E8500 @ 4.1GHzAZalman CNPS10X Extreme4GB Corsair 1066MHz - 8500 2.1 DDR2 2.1(4x 1GB stricks - 2 independent pairs)XFX 898MB 260GTXCorsair HX620 Raptor diskVista 64-bitI want to change to;Asus P6X58D-E X58Corsair 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz Dominator Memory Kit CL8 (8-8-8-24) 1.65VIntel Core i7 950 3.06GHz Socket 1366 8MBNoctua NH-U12P SE2 Corsair HX850WI might change my graphics card later, but will this pairing with CPU overclocked to 4G make a difference that would be really noticable?regardskrishan

Hi I am looking at upgrading my PC, I have sort of decided what h/w except memory, not sure which is good for this mobo?Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz Socket 1366 8MBAsus P6X58D-E X58 Socket 1366 Corsair 850W TX Series PSUMemory ????898MB XFX 260GTXKeeping some of my other stuff from present PCregardskrishan

Thanks to everyone that responded, I now can decide, will go first with just ASE but not sure if to buy it as a package with X graphics or just by itself and later buy REX, at the moment given that I get about 18fps at heathrow with traffic X at 69% not sure I want to take on a a drop in fps.regardskrishan

HiSo in the web site is says ASX + X Graphics, so it also works with ASE then?Whats the differenece between ASE and ASX?

Thanks for the responses guysSo it sounds like ASE is better for the weather engine which is what I am really looking for.Now with textures, does ASE proide any real difference in cloud appearence compared to default FSX clouds?And, does either of these s/w cause a reduction in FPS?I say this because I have traffic X and even though I find it hardly adds much traffic at 69% it causes about a 20% reduction in FPS at heathrow, while traffic 2005 in FS9 is excellent and no real impact on FPS. I almost always end up flying FS9 becuase of this.regardskrishan

HiI am on the lookout for the best weather addon for mainly FSX but if it can also work with fs9 that would be great.My choices seem to be1. REX - Real Environment Xtreme v2.02. Active Sky EvolutionNow while having nice cloulds is great my main requirment is that if I want to fly in thundershowers I find after a few miles I am out of it or I cannot pre-program landing in such conditions before starting my flight in default FSX weather, so that is really what I am looking for.Your help and suggestions will be most welcome.thankskrishan

I have tried a full vista OS re-install followed by fsx ... I just tried Vista OS and updatesFSXSP1PMDG 747 + UpdateAt this point it is workingAccel packNOW PMDG 747 stops working, all control surfaces stop been movable.

Ok,I did FSX then Accel pack, was getting excellent fps as smoothInstalled traffic X, its update, no problem.Installed PMDG 747 problem, the 747 surface controls do not work.It would appear for whatever reason the format of FSX then Accel pack causes issues with PMDG 747I had tried FSX, SP1 then accel apck and no probelm working PMDG.I am now going to go withFSXSP1SP2TRAFFIC X + T X SP1PMDG 747LVEL-D 767After I confirm all is working well as before I bought accel pack, I will un-install SP2 and load accel packkrishan

Do I need to have anything else installed before accel pack is installed? I have attached my presently installed programs and these NET and c++ appliactions

Yes I have loaded fsx between every stage and also I know it says you don't need the SP's but that method only caused issues. I wonder if anyone has installed after SP1 and it worked fine? or is this wrong, even though it seems to work for me.

HiI am having problems installing this.This is totally a new install now.I have tried1. FSX2. SP13. Acc packI have also tried1. FSX2. Acc packThe latter seems to cause issues with parts of the add-on aircraft panels going missing or certain missions just going to black screen but sound working.So I am thinking of sticking with the first method, unless someone can for sure say the 2nd method is the only way to go.regardskrishan

I really do not think either Levl-D or PMDG products mentioned here install any FSUIPC module, I go and check it out and find nothing there. I think maybe things have changed.
