  1. Try a PRE-RENDER setting of 1 if you are seeing big fluctuations in framerate. For me it help tremendously with that as well as eliminating autogen spikes.
  2. Same here. I cant even start it as of right now. Figures, the one time I have a chance to fly I cant !!!! :mad:
  3. B4 using the settings I posted and when I had no issue it was luck of the draw that the landing winds were close to my aircraft location winds which made everything work fine. The times I would see the landing problem was always when the destination winds were opposite my current location winds at the time RC picked a runway. With my settings I posted and with opposite current location winds from my destination winds I still was handed the proper runway from RC. Hope it works for you too!! Jim
  4. I have spent MANY MANY MANY, too dang many hours trying to improve this issue as well. After all my testing and setting this that and the other I have come up with a combo of setting that works well for me. If you want to give it a try here is what I do: Active Sky: Check - Force Destination Weather Zone Check - High Priority Processes Check - Direct Weather Control Check - Create Additional Stations AND Enhance Route Coverage <------- (These 2 settings seemed to help the most) Set - Dynamic Rate of Change to 0 Make sure to enter your flight plan into Active Sky. I do this B4 I start FSX but not sure if that matters. Also make sure you have LOCK to CLOSEST selected. Ultimate Traffic 2: Weekly Traffic Density - I keep it @ 50% all the time Daily Traffic Density - None - Zip - Nada - 0% FSX Target Frame rate - OFF Max Alt Ground Traffic Visible - 18,000 Distance to Spawn Ground Aircraft - 25 nm <-------(Very Important. With the weather settings above, your destination weather will be set when you are 80 nm from your destination. With a setting of 25 this gives Active Sky PLENTY of time to get the destination weather in place B4 your AI are added there. This will help greatly with head on landings at your destination as well as wrong runway assignments at your destination) These settings have worked best for me and maybe they will help you also. The wrong runway problem is NOT the fault of RC nor is it the fault of UT2 but is a product of Active Sky and how the weather is added to the sim. If you are not using RC or UT2 then you would not see these problems at all. The above ONLY needs to be used if using RC AND UT2 (at least for me). Good luck !! Jim
  5. I think that answers my question then. Sounds like that most people that use weather either dont fly with AI or fly online or just live with the way AI behave in FSX with other weather engines. Thanks !!
  6. I never really had the AI issues till I started using a 3rd party weather engine. I like to fly with AI and I really like what your software does but I want to make sure that my AI issues dont continue if I switch to OPUS. Again. FSX with no 3rd party weather works with no issues. The demo version cant be tested fully in that aspect.
  7. Thanks for the reply. I will post this also on the forum you mentioned and see what they as. Thanks, Jim
  8. I currently use ASE and have constant issues with the way the weather and my AI traffic play with each other. I use UT2 for AI and also sometimes use Radar Contact but lately have just been using charts and such flying SIDS/STARS. My question are: 1) WIll OPUS work with Radar Contact ? 2) will my UT2 AI and Opus work with each other or will I still have the problems with AI landing opposite end of the runway ? The only mode in ASE that will guarantee both will work is to use standard mode but we all know what that causes. Thanks !!
  9. Set your FSX profile VSYNC in Inspector and then match that setting in the GLOBAL profile.
  10. ***** UPDATE ***** Well... sending ASE to the system tray was not my issue. It turned out to be a VSYNC issue. Who would a thought?? I use Inspector and recently updated to the latest cough..cough.. greatest. With the new inspector I MUST set the same VSYNC setting in GLOBAL as well as my FSX profile. After doing that I have had no problems and I have been flying all day.
  11. Last week I did several flights after a short break from FSX. ATL to TPA, TPA to BOS, BOS to JFK and LAS to LAX... all with no problems. Then I decided to do LAX back to LAS and this is where my problem started and it took me 2 days to figure it out and thought my experience may help someone. What was happening was I setup to depart out of Gate 56 out of LAX. I did everything as I always have and was greeted to a FSX crash. I rebooted and tried again only to crash again and then again and then again. Now, I dont know about you but when this kind of thing happens I MUST find the cause.... its in my blood and its what drives me crazy at times. Anyways.. I tried this and that and this again with no solution. I was able to start at other gates just fine but gate 56 and a few others would crash every time, I eliminated the problem being the PMDG 737 as it would crash even in the trike. I then noticed I had no crash without running ASE.... Hmmmm I said.... ASE was confirmed as the problem after many many attempts to resolve my issue. I posted my issue on FSDT's forum with no resolution found. Well... after 2 days of pulling my hair out I found out that if I minimized ASE and not send it to the system tray WA-LA ... no crash !!! This was verified time and time again. So ... why would sending ASE to the system tray cause FSX to crash as opposed to minimizing it??
  12. This is a GREAT vid a friend of mine sent me a link to. Just watch her face .... all the joy she shows and her at times concern and then relaxation. If you have kids I think you will like it even more as it is a great thing to be able to see your children experience new thing in life. Enjoy !! http://www.youtube.com/embed/w8JU-1ZrRAg?feature=player_embedded Jim
  13. If you get Imaginesim's and if you need support at all you can forget it !!! Fly Tampa's scenery is top notch AND has GREAT support when you need it, should you need it.
  14. yep ... I have suggested it several times now and every time people say it removes the spikes.
  15. To all of you having spikes ... in Nvidia Inspector change Pre Render to 1 in place of 3 or default. It will most likely remedy you of the spikes.
