I had this problem everytime I started. I had to fiddle with Alt+Enter and other stuff just to be able to see the screen. Finally, in the cfg file . under [Main] I made Maximized=1 and I haven't had the problem since. It can't hurt to try it, it worked for me. You can change back to full screen mode after the sim starts up via Alt+Enter.

I'd like to know this as well as I'm thinking about going to either a triple monitor setup or a 32" screenSent from the toilet via Tapatalk

Are you referring to this?http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html

I can't speak for the Mac Pro or Windows 7 but on my iMac running bootcamp, I have tried repeatedly to install the ATI drivers for XP but they always say they are the same version after the install. This is my first Mac, so I'm not sure what the deal is with it. Perhaps they can only be updated from the Mac side. I don't even think that makes sense really. Even with that said, FSX still runs fine like I mentioned above. The only other issue I have (sometimes) is with the Orbx scenery, I get tears in the some of the textures. Since I can't figure out if my ATI drivers update, I can't say for sure if that would fix that or not but its not a huge issue anyway.

I realize this post is old but, I can tell you that FSX runs great on that particular iMac. I just got mine 2 weeks ago and I can crank everything pretty high and get about 25-40 FPS. It can get a little rough with alot of clouds but I normally fly with some white puffy clouds. Mind you, I'm running at 2560 x 1440 and let me tell you, the iMac 27" display is VERY sharp!You can get FSX to run very well and fairly high settings. l am pleasantly surprised.

Bravo! :(

I love the add on and although I have a fairly decent system, Plan G chugs when I'm running that along with FSX.

I think he misunderstood. I think he is saying the CPU is at 30-40C at idle.

I'm looking to build a PC and am looking at that CPU and MOBO. Update is on how it runs FSX please (when you're done).Thanks!

I remember when 6GB HDD's just came out (1999 maybe?) and we all said "You'll NEVER use that much space" LOLI currently have a 320 GB hard drive and I think I have about 140 GB's left. I believe FS (and associated files) take up nearly 40 GB's.

Did the Beta team do ANY flying ? One flight would have caught so many of the problems that are being discovered.

Wasn't there a message somewhere , perhaps on the main page about more downloads, unlimited downloads? It was something like that but anyway, ever since then the pages have been S-L-O-W !

That is cool, thanks for sharing.

It took me 5 or 6 times to get airborne so I could save the mission.EDIT: I just saw the post about the UTX Patch. I'll try that out.

As you know FSXMissionguy (since you helped me) that I just started with choppers, so that doesn't help much. That machine is a different beast as soon as you hook something on that cable but I won't give up but I'll make sure I save often so I don't have to start from the beginning ;)

The only place I notice jaggies is the cockpit shadowing, it looks terrible but I haven't really messed with the settings to correct it yet.

Yeah, I managed to do it several times. I didn't need the speedbrake to land, just to slow down after taking off. The carrier landings aren't that bad really compared to lets say...........Picking up a crate with a chopper and setting it on the back of the truck. I never laughed so hard in my life when ... well, let the picture do the talking. Oops!!... it only rolled about 25 feet after it flung off the cable!http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/gar...9-44-23-233.jpg

First a question, where is the speed brake on the F-18????Next, that has to be the most difficult thing ever! Trying not to fall out of the sky while attempting to line up with a moving runway.. I managed one landing after about 1.5 hours of crashing into the edge of the ship. I think I just cost the gov't about $100 Billion.

In aircraft carrier training mission, I have an aircraft carrier sitting in dirt/grass off the coast of Florida. I never fly to Florida so it may have already had land extending out into the ocean but I haven't figured out which add-on it is .

>Is there actually a way of checking whether DX10 is enabled?>Did you notice any difference like FPS improvement?I believe there is a checkbox in the settings to enable DX10. I'll find out in a few, going to install it now.

Especially around the NCAA/Madden times of year.
