Thanks guys, @ martin-w, around £300. @ vortex681, Yes the i7-920 is overclocked and I get 4Ghz also. Will try the SteamVR test later.

I have just installed a new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 and now want to upgrade the CPU (And motherboard if necessary.) The MB I have now is a ASUS P6T SE with 6 DDR3 DIMM slots and a LGA1366 CPU socket. I am upgrading in order to use the Oculus Rift or VR headsets. These are the minimum specs from Oculus: • Video Card NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD R9 290 equivalent or greater • CPU Intel i5-4590 equivalent or greater • Memory 8GB+ RAM • Video Output Compatible HDMI 1.3 video output • USB Ports 3x USB 3.0 ports plus 1x USB 2.0 port • OS Windows 7 SP1 64 bit or newer System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 6/22/2016, 19:44:37 Machine name: RAY-PC Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_ldr.160408-2045) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: System manufacturer System Model: System Product Name BIOS: BIOS Date: 02/24/10 14:05:48 Ver: 08.00.15 Processor: Intel® Core i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.7GHz Memory: 12288MB RAM Available OS Memory: 12280MB RAM Page File: 3698MB used, 20857MB available Windows Dir: C:\Windows DirectX Version: DirectX 11 DX Setup Parameters: Not found User DPI Setting: Using System DPI System DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent) DWM DPI Scaling: Disabled DxDiag Version: 6.01.7601.17514 32bit Unicode Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 Manufacturer: NVIDIA Chip type: GeForce GTX 970 DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13C2&SUBSYS_85091043&REV_A1 Display Memory: 4095 MB Dedicated Memory: 3072 MB Shared Memory: 1023 MB Current Mode: 1920 x 1080 (32 bit) (60Hz) Any advice will be a appreciated.

Not the same thing.... On, like a hat. In, like a dream. What I meant by sending Froogle's video is that you can save space. I think this will become more and more popular with time. :smile:

1. ON your head, not in your head. In other words what Froogle has on his head.

I'm very keen to get this! With it one can put every thing on ones head.

Later.

Try control panel, sound, communications, choose the "do nothing option" then apply.

Hope they get the wheels turning :smile:

@ domae001, yes I know it's a bit crazy and I blame the talented guys that are turning out free airports, most with such good quality I can't resist. I have 6 paid for airports, 1 to 403 are free airports, 404 to 472 are FTX/ORBX, 473 to 593 are the FSX Base files est.. @ Labbi85, they are all active in the scenery cfg. It doesn't seem to make any difference.

Mine is 592.

Same here with Traffic 360, got FSX aircraft set @ 30% and only 7 or 8 aircraft show in EGLL.

Did you resolve this problem?

If like me your having problems keeping the ATC voice sound volumes stable with FSX Windows 7, try this. It worked for me. Open Control Panel/Sound/Communications, Choose the "Do Nothing" option then Apply. I guess it's reading the ATC as a phone transmission.

I have been using Pro Flight Emulator (PFE) together with FDC Live Cockpit (FDC) for a number of years now and I can highly recommend them. PFE replaces the default ATC and includes many voice sets with different English accents, taxi guidance system both verbal and visual and many other improvements. FDC acts as a copilot, performing checklists ext. also has cabin crew announcements, again with different accents. You can buy them individualy or together. They have been tweaked to work together.

Thank you Jim, received the guide. Prior to this I found other info on the web and installed UIAutomationCore.dll version 6.0.5840.16386 to fsx I've just completed a 2 hour flight with no CTD's. Thanks again Ray
