Peres In my case it always freezes at the PERF INIT page just after entering altitude, which differs from that indicated by FMC. Unfortunately I could not open a support ticket as requested by RR due to not receiving the confirmation email... Regards Schmid

The first thing I tried was hitting Q a few times but it did not fixed the wipers sound. Regards Schmid

Hi, Sam Just noticed the same problem: after turning off wipers, their sound continue.... Schmid

hahaha now I know 3 brazilians that REALLY bought the FSX...Americans don't know what is it, but we know...Here you are ''IDIOT'' if you buy something original...I mean, expensive things like FSX... Here it is R$160,00 or U$100,00 more or less (in Brazil) Luiz cunha

Hi Luiz Although I follow this forum almost on daily basis and as everyone here I'm anxiously waiting for the NGX release I avoid to post any messages that do not contribute to the community. Because of your post about our countrymen and piracy I have the comment here how I disagree with you. Unfortunately piracy runs all over the world and our country is not so different from any other. Anyway, I'm an old simmer (since 3.0) and I have always bought all softwares I run - both at office and at home - including FSX and all add-ons. And the same way I do, the great majority of my friends do the same. So, please, do not blame our country with some sort of personal statistics as my feeling is the opposite from yours. Maybe it has to do with the kind of friends I choose. Kind regardse queira-me bem. Flavio Schmid

It would really help to add your system specs/environment to your posts/signatures so it is easier to correlate problems, fixes etc. Without this imporant info it is near impossible to get a handle of what combination of hardware, OS and add-ons are causing/fixing what problems. Thanks!!

I have posted my system specs a few msgs up here. But, no problem. Here it goes again:WinXP SP3 32 bitsMoBo - Intel dp35dp (http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/motherboards/dp35dp/dp35dp-overview.htm)Core2Duo E6750@2.66 GHz2GB RAMNVidia GeForce GTX275 896MB (http://www.nvidia.com.br/object/product_geforce_gtx_275_br.html)Chipset Intel P35 Express (http://www.intel.com/Products/Desktop/Chipsets/P35/P35-overview.htm)Audio onboard: Intel High Definition Audio (http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/hdaudio.htm)RegardsSchmid

For a few seconds? Before I tried this fix I was completely unable to regain my textures without a restart. Once they were gone, they were gone for good. Just losing them for a few seconds is fine as long as they return!Regards,Tom Wright

TomThe question is: removing sound.dll fixes the problem? The answer in my case is NO. To add some more information: while flying the textures demanded more time to render. At destination airport, I got only the 'skeleton' and, to push the system to the limits I tried to change from windowed mode to full screen. I got a blue screen caused by video driver so I had to turn off computer manually.I'll reduce autogen and scenery complexity from 'extremely dense' to 'very dense' and do some more tests.RegardsSchmid

RyanI have removed the sound.dll lines on dll.xml file and I'm still experiencing the 'skeleton' for 748 for a few seconds. No difference at all with or without the sound.dll reference (except for the missing cockpit sounds, of course).My rig specs:WinXP SP3 32 bitsMoBo - Intel dp35dp (http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/motherboards/dp35dp/dp35dp-overview.htm)Core2Duo E6750@2.66 GHz2GB RAMNVidia GeForce GTX275 896MB (http://www.nvidia.com.br/object/product_geforce_gtx_275_br.html)Chipset Intel P35 Express (http://www.intel.com/Products/Desktop/Chipsets/P35/P35-overview.htm)Audio onboard: Intel High Definition Audio (http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/hdaudio.htm)As my rig is becoming 'old' for the actual standards, I think it is relevant to know that the sound.dll change is not enough to solve the problem.RegardsSchmid

Patrick and DanThanks for your suggestions.I'll make some tests to minimize the 'skeleton effect'... :( Kind regardsSchmid

QUOTE (F.Schmid @ Feb 9 2010, 05:09 PM) It lasts 2 or 3 seconds to refresh the graphics and then everything runs ok.Then there is no problem. If you want a faster refresh, lower your scenery sliders, or purchase a faster PC. This is just the way FS works.

VinThere IS a problem that I can live with, although I would prefer not to: it seems that this beauty demands lots of processing, much more than JS41 for example. The only reason to have 748 is because of its exterior, after all.A faster PC is on my plans but not for now as ALL add-ons run perfectly with very reasonable frame rates (25+)Anyway, thank you for making things clear.RegardsSchmid

That's my point: to reduce definitions of the aircraft - which is already medium-high - just to fit to 748 needs and then loose quality on the other add-ons, including 744, MD-11 and JS41.I don't know but I hope there is some other way.Schmid

Hi Dan.744, MD11 and JS41 are running perfectly. Not a single problem, specially on graphics.I don't know if with the new techniques used to create this model things are near the limit for my rig and I'll have to decrease some settings, which wouldn't be nice as all (and I have many) add-ons are ok.And if it is so, I'm worried about 73xNG so I hope devs can find out what is going on.Anyway, thank you for your help.RegardsSchmid

Adrian:I do nothing. Both images were taken on sequence with about 1 or 2 seconds interval.Dan:I'm running WinXP 32 bits.Scott:I'm already running with 1024 and the problem is still there.RegardsSchmid

AdrianThe same here.It lasts 2 or 3 seconds to refresh the graphics and then everything runs ok.As nobody have related this before I believed it was a problem with my install so I uninstalled it and I'm waiting for the update patch. I have never experienced such a problem, even with the most 'frame eaters' add-ons like CS757 and F1 Cessna Mustang.I hope the devs can take a look at this and maybe find a solution before releasing the new version.Just in case:WinXP SP3FSX SP2Intel Core2Duo E6750 - 2.66GHz2GB RAMNVidea GTX275 896 MBRegardsSchmid

Hi, team.I've just downloaded and installed the748i and as it was expected: what a great job! Congratulations.I noticed when both pilot and first officer look through the window both wings are not there. We can see nav and strobe lights but not the most extreme part of the wings were those lights were supposed to be.Anybody else with this same problem?Best regards.Schmid.

The spotlight.bmp was changed. Try to copy back the one with 43KB and that's all. No need to uninstall anything.RegardsSchmid

RyanThank you for your patience.I have good news: I completely removed JS41, including references on [trusted] section of fsx.cfg file. I did NOT removed information on Windows Registry.I reinstalled JS41 (default). Then I opened default Cessna at an airport in cold&dark state. Changed to JS41 and made a quick test, specially turning on FMS: it worked fine.Then I closed FSX and installed SP1 repeating procedures above: VOIL

Hi, RyanI have some add-ons, including 747 and MD-11 and all of them work perfectly, including FSX itself which is very stable on my rig. I don't have CTD's or any other problem since my last reinstall.A full reinstall is not on my plans for the next weeks, as it will take me too many hours, and I'm a little be afraid of not having this stable instalation I have now.Well, I'll try a full uninstall/reinstall of JS41 and let you know.RegardsSchmid

That's exactly the point: Loading the tutorial flight as described in the manual FMS NEVER worked. If you load this flight from the beginning, it works, but the aircraft is not cold and dark.

If I load tutorial flight from FSX main screen it works but it is not in cold and dark.Schmid

I can confirm that if you load TUTORIAL1 at KPHN - the aircraft is not in full cold&dark - the FMS works so it is not a font problem.Of course this is a way to not having the aircraft grounded but it takes a boring long time to move from an airport to another.RegardsSchmid

Hi!First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR!Running XP SP3 + FSX SP2.Fonts correctly installed and beginning at depp airport with default Cessna in cold&dark.Same problem reported here. Sometimes FMS turns on, most times does not.I hope devs could fix it asap.Kind regardsSchmid

Hi, ChristianI've seen this happen in only three situations: 1. The FL on MCP is not correctly set; 2. The FL on FMC is not correctly set; 3. You are under 1000ft AGL.Have it worked before? It is a new installation?Regards and a Happy New YearSchmid

Yes, it is fixed.Thank you!!!!CheersSchmid

Hi, Team!Please check what is happening with Qantas livery installer:1. It is creating some lines on aircraft.cfg (galley=fore)2. Although it creates the correct [fltsim.xx] section and sets texture=DR, the livery that it installs is the .VNE (Venezolana).Best regards and, again, congratulations for this immersive simulation.Schmid

Hi, Ryan

Captains,Hope you're all enjoying the new aircraft!

First of all, congratulations for this another fantastic aircraft. You really are the best!I have burned about a dozen engines so I decided to fix a post-it on my monitor: Do not forget to unfeather.... :( Besides this it is a pleasure to fly with this jewel.If you don't mind I'd like to report a behaviour on FMC pre-saved routes so you may check it and maybe include on the FMC improvements.I have 430+ routes saved on C:\...\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\PMDG and I think there is a limitation on FMC capabilities on retreiving so many files, although it does a selection from the routes beginning at departure airport. With this number of routes, FMC does not show all alternatives from a specific departure airport.I have removed most routes and remained with about 50. With this number of files, FMC works perfectly, displaying all routes from the dep airport.Best regardsSchmid

same thing happened to me with x-graphics. you need to restore your original spotlight files

As stated, your spotlight.bmp under TEXTURE folder has been changed by one of your add-ons. You have to replace the file in use by the original one (the original spotlight.bmp has 43 Kb)RegardsSchmid
