Thank you very much for the kind words ;-) I'm doing my best to get it as real as possible. Actually working on the first officer side. Maxime.

Hello all, Here's my last video I made today of my flight Bahrain - Antalya. It's a fast forward of the departure and arrival. Enjoy and make sure to watch in HD ! Have a good day, Maxime.

Hello, Thanks for your answers ;-) It worked some days perfectly at 60FPS withouth any stutter and then started suddenly. When I start a flight, during 10 seconds everything is normal, 60FPS and then the stutter begins. What I currently have on my "possible problem list" : - Overclock : Will try to set the default settings and see if I still get the same problem or not. - Antivirus : Will try to shut it down and see if the problem still occurs. - FSUIPC : Can mayby cause stuttering. Will try to disable it. Thank you, Maxime.

Hello, I'm having a problem with my new PC and FS2004. Here are my specs : - Core I5 3570K overclocked to 4.2Ghz with a HR-02 cooler - GTX560 Ti - Corsair Force GT 120Gb SSD - OCZ ZS Series 550W - 8Gb DDR3 My sim is turning great on max settings. I'm locking my frames at 60FPS and whatever scenery I use, weather I set or amount of trafic it stays at 60FPS. But unfortunately I'm having a problem with stutters. Every 3 seconds approximately the frame goes a second to 59.3 and then switches back to 60. This creates a stutter each time which is very annoying. I didn't had this problem with my old PC. What can be the cause of such a constant stutter ? I did a fresh windows install last week, it was running great until this problem came back some days ago. Do you have any idea where to look ? Thank you, Maxime.

Same problem here... Cockpit running on ground power at Koln waiting for real weather Passengers are not happy :lol: Maxime.

Hello,I just got another computer crash when using FS2004. I've always had problems with FS2004, never got it really smooth on my system. Let me first give you my specs :Windows XP home edition SP3Motherboard : Asus P5QProcessor : Intel Dual core E8400 3GhzGraphic card : Geforce Gtx 560 TIRAM : 2Gb DDR2HDD : Hitachi T7K250 250Gb 7200rpmThese are my nvidia inspector settings : http://www.simforums.com/Forums/uploads/12417/nvinspector1932.jpgI'm running fs2004 on a 32" screen with 1360x768 resolution without any cockpit view as I'm using it in my home sim. (so only outside view). I never got this setup working correctly. I've always got stutters, whatever the drivers I'm using, the scenery, etc I'm running everything smooth at 50/60fps but every 2/3 seconds I get a stutter. Frames then go a milisecond to 25 and back and that's making the view not that smooth at all. Where can the problem be ?I've also always got computer crash problems with my new gtx560 ti : sometimes my screens turns black as no output is given anymore from the video card, the sound makes a strange nois that's hanging and the coolers of my cpu and video card starts to turn at 100%, I have to reset the computer to reboot... What is the best thing I can do about such problems ? Pff if only I knew I would pay this card to get problems....When testing for example x-plane, I run at 60fps veeeeery smooth and I have no problems. So what's wrong with FS2004 ? Even with good hardware, frames are good, visual is amazing but still these very anoying stutters....What can I modify, test or change ? How can I get a good working fs2004 ?Thanks for help,Maxime.

Thanks ;-) I'll have a look there.Maxime.

Hello,Is there any way to add to my aircraft the sound of the speedbrake ? When you open the speedbrake during descend it creates drag and that can be heard and feeled from the cockpit. I already have a sound file, I would just like to know if it's possible to add this in the sound.cfg of the aircraft ?Thank you,Maxime.

Hello,I mayby found the solution : Some other topics about the GTX560 with this problem says it's a problem with the power. So I completely remade the wiring in my computer of my 580W power supply so the video card gets the best power output and now my fs doesn't crash.I'll install everything back on the sim and see if my problem is fixed or not...Maxime.

Hello,I just made a clean install of fs9 and with everything default it works perfectly. I just installed the textures of hdev2 and it crashes. I'm using the high resolution 32bit textures for the clouds and all other from hde v2.Maxime.EDIT : Just replaced the files with default textures again and it doens't work !! Clean windows install with cd drivers, clean fs9.1 install everything default and it doens't work. Where can the problem be ?

I've set these settings for fs9 ;-) This is just a screenshot to show the settings.Maxime. I think I was using them, I've tried to replace my cumulus cloud texture with the 32bit from hde but still the same issue...Maxime.

Hello,This is just to show the settings, I took them from this print screen but in my nvidia inspector I set them on FS2004 ;-)Maxime.

Hello,I got a new GTX560 Ti instead of my GTS250 for my fs2004-computer. From the begining I've always had this problem, made it work a few times I don't know how. Todays it's still there.FS9 starts normally and when setting clear sky everything works perfectly. Even the small clouds fs9 sets on default weather are perfectly shown. I can fly, everything is smooth and works perfectly.Whenever I go to weather and set for example "building thunderstorms", the moment I press OK my screens turns black, my sound is hanging and I can hear my video card cooler rising to 100% speed... I'm then unable to shut down the process or anything, I have to reset my computer.I've tried to make clean installs of all drivers but with no luck. I'm using HDE V2 for the clouds with the high resolution 32bit textures for the cumulus. I'm using nvidia inspector with the settings shown on this screen :What can be the problem ? :-(Thank you,Maxime.

Hello,Very cool to be able to show that much on one screen. Here in my sim I just need the pilot viewpoint so I'll be running one front view without cockpit on the whole screen --> nice pilot view when sitting in the sim and amazing performance...Thank you,Maxime.

Hello,Thank you for the information ;-) I've been thinking today what to do with my visuals and came to an idea. I'll be staying with 1 screen, as there is no other solution than opening 2 views in fs and to have bad performance unfortunately.And instead of switching to a beamer I'm thinking of going for a big 51" screen instead of my 32" now. For example this one :http://www.samsung.com/us/video/tvs/PN51D450A2DXZAThis would be perfect for a nice forward view covering my whole front window for better immersion (no bezels) and I don't have the problems of a beamer with this (window beside --> lights problem, good hd view with a screen, no lamp to replace, etc).Maxime.

Hello,Thank you ;-) Indeed the 2 screens are not togheter, I cannot stretch one view over 2 screens. That's the problem, I have to run 2 views which makes the big performance hit...I see on your picture you are running window mode with the left view dragged to your left screen ?Maxime.

Hello,It only happens during night flights... I've now set up my screen with other colors and the sky is now more dark and lights colors are better. I'll see on my next flight if I still get the problem or not.Thank you,Maxime.

I'll try to make some screenshots this afternoon to show you where the problem is ;-)Maxime.

Thanks for the explanation ;-)I searched the forums, saw some topics but I can't find out how what you explain can be set up. This is my configuration :This is not 1 view stretched over 2 screens... That makes the difficulty of setting it up.Thank you,Maxime.

Well,everything is blue, the sky is completely blue. It sometimes switches between black, blue, black, blue etcMaxime.

NOTE: This post has been moved from the "Tips and Tricks" forum to the Hardware forum where it belongs...Hello,I'm using 2 screens in my sim, one displaying the front view and one is situated on my left displaying the left view.I was wondering what would be the best option to set this up. For the moment, my 2 screens are connected to 2 dvi outputs of my GTX560. I've set up windows to display a big horizontal desktop over the 2 screens. My fs2004 is running in full screen and I have 2 views open : a front view dragged on my 1st screen and a left view dragged on my 2nd screen. With this left screen I'm losing +- 20 frames... Is there another way to set this up having better performance ? I was thinking of a dualhead2go. Is there any performance difference when I run a 2720x768 screen out of 1 dvi output or the same desktop coming out of my 2 dvi outputs (what I'm doing now) ?Any other way to set this up in fs ?Thank you,Maxime.

Hello,I'm using HDE V2 textures and ASE as weather engine. My problem is that during night flights, when cruizing of sometimes when landing in fog the textures turns blue. It can sometimes switch between blue and black a few times. It looks like this :(Screenshot is from Sascha91 on another post)Do you know what can be the problem ? The textures ? Settings ? I've been changing from video card since I got this problem but I still have it with my new GTX560.Thank you,Maxime.

Hello,what if you want to configure your led's or switches for the overhead or MIP ? You can't with PMDG. (Some people did it, but it's difficult). With a complete software, I will take for example FlightDeckSoftware that I'm using, you get a realistic flight model (better than payware add-ons for fs), complete displays that you can drag on multiple pc's and ready scripts for switches, etc.It's expensive, but it will make the cockpit building a lot easier.Maxime.
