Thank you so much!

I have purchased 6.34, Can anyone supply me with a link to 6.2 so I may use that instead? Thank you Paul Dahlen

Thanks to pwscott for asking and aarque for answering. Helped me out today with the same issue.

I just ran into this yesterday. I deleted all graphics card entries from the config file and let FSX put the one I use back in. Worked fine without losing anything else. I always assumed .0 and .1 were the monitors. Might be wrong on that.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks!

I built a new system last week and I heard good things about the stock fan and heat sink that comes with the chip so I used it. I'm getting 48-51 for my 4 core temps at idle. I know this is fairly typical from what I've read. What I would like to know are actual numbers from anyone who is using this chip with a 3rd party fan and heat sink to see if they are really that much cooler. I'm using CoreTemp to get the numbers, but they are consistent with numbers I'm getting from EVGA E-LEET. Here are my specs:EVGA 132-BL-E758-TR LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel MotherboardIntel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core ProcessorOCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)WD VelociRaptor 300GB 10000 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s HDCORSAIR CMPSU-850TX Power SupplyAntec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case(2)ASUS VW224U Black 22" 2ms(GTG) Widescreen LCD Monitoredit: Room temperature is 23, system temp is 28 and i& is i7 :)ThanksPaul

Indeed. This is only the second forum I have ever seen this restriction on. It makes searches difficult at best. The search I had refused today was i7 Vista 64.

and I thought Fortran was unforgiving! Anyway here is the completed code. Thought I'd throw it in here in case anyone struggled with spaces as long as I did. Fuel Burn and Fuel Range in nm based on number of engines: <Element> <Position X="180" Y="180"/> <FormattedText X="150" Y="16" Bright="Yes" Length="150" Font="Arial" FontSize="14" LineSpacing="16" Color="#CD8DC5"> <String>Fuel Burn: %((A:NUMBER OF ENGINES, NUMBER))%{case} %{:4}%((A:Eng1 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour) (A:Eng2 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour) (A:Eng3 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour) (A:Eng4 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour) + + +) %{:3}%((A:Eng1 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour) (A:Eng2 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour) (A:Eng3 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour) + +) %{:2}%((A:Eng1 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour) (A:Eng2 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour) +) %{:1}%((A:Eng1 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour))%{end}%!4.0d gph</String> </FormattedText> </Element> <Element> <Position X="180" Y="195"/> <FormattedText X="150" Y="16" Bright="Yes" Length="150" Font="Arial" FontSize="14" LineSpacing="16" Color="#CD8DC5"> <String>Fuel Range: %((A:NUMBER OF ENGINES, NUMBER))%{case} %{:4}%((A:Eng1 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour) (A:Eng2 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour) (A:Eng3 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour) (A:Eng4 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour) + + + 60 / (A:FUEL TOTAL QUANTITY, gallon) r / 60 / (A:GPS Ground Speed, knot) *) %{:3}%((A:Eng1 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour) (A:Eng2 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour) (A:Eng3 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour) + + 60 / (A:FUEL TOTAL QUANTITY, gallon) r / 60 / (A:GPS Ground Speed, knot) *) %{:2}%((A:Eng1 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour) (A:Eng2 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour) + 60 / (A:FUEL TOTAL QUANTITY, gallon) r / 60 / (A:GPS Ground Speed, knot) *) %{:1}%((A:Eng1 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour) 60 / (A:FUEL TOTAL QUANTITY, gallon) r / 60 / (A:GPS Ground Speed, knot) *)%{end}%!03d! nm</String> </FormattedText> </Element> No doubt there is a more elegant way to do this, nevertheless, it works. Thanks for the help, guys.

That did it; thanks! Are there some rules posted in the SDK or anywhere else as to where spaces are needed in an evaluation?

I've gotten a simple string case evaluation to work, but when I try any kind of arithmatic it just evaluates to 0: This works:<String>Fuel Burn: %((A:NUMBER OF ENGINES, NUMBER))%{case}%{:4}%((A:Eng4 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour))%{:1}%((A:Eng1 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour))%{end}%!4.0d</String>This Doesn't:<String>Fuel Burn: %((A:NUMBER OF ENGINES, NUMBER))%{case}%{:4}%((A:Eng4 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour)4*)%{:1}%((A:Eng1 fuel flow GPH,gallons per hour))%{end}%!4.0d</String> Note the only difference is that I've tried to multiply Eng4 fuel flow by 4Any suggestions?Thank youPaul

After spending some more time in the SDK, I determined how to do what I was trying to do with a case: <String>%Number of Engines: %(4 3 2 1 0 5 (A:NUMBER OF ENGINES, NUMBER) case) %!d!</String>

Yes, I know this will work, thank you. This is more an exercise in learning how to write a select case. I want to add more code for each case once I understand the basic syntax of the select case.

I've done several searches in this forum to find an example of what I am trying to do, but I've not found a working solution. Here is my code: <Element> <Select> <Value>(A:NUMBER OF ENGINES, NUMBER)</Value> <Case Value="1">1 (>G:Var1)</Case> <Case Value="2">2 (>G:Var1)</Case> <Case Value="3">3 (>G:Var1)</Case> <Case Value="4">4 (>G:Var1)</Case> </Select> <Position X="180" Y="180"/> <FormattedText X="150" Y="16" Bright="Yes" Length="150" Font="Arial" FontSize="14" LineSpacing="16" Color="#CD8DC5"> <String>Number of Engines: %((G:Var1))%!d!%</String> </FormattedText> </Element> All I'm trying to do at this point is to get my code to show the number of engines detected on the airplane. Right now, the gauge shows 0 where I am attempting to display the # of engines. Thank you.

and the craziness continues... Why oh why can't Microsoft release something that actually runs well on current machines at the time?! This business of 'buy a computer 2 years after FS release that will finally run the software only to have a new release the next year, repeat, repeat' is just a silly business model to me. Oh, I know they will not change it and people who have plenty of money to spend think it's great. But us working folk with families lose out. I've used FSX since it was released and even with core 2 duo, I cannot get it to run anywhere near where I would like it to be. I will continue to use FSX as computers improve, but I seriously doubt I will update to FS11 when it is released.Paul

>129889Thanks... now what am I supposed to do with that?!

Can someone please post a link? I cannot find this in the avsim library and I don't see an add on the avsim front page. ThanksPaul

AI aircraft look a little shabby wehen you get really>close up, but the frame rate hit is much less than with>Ultimate Traffic.How about a small screenshot to show what you mean by that statement?ThanksPaul

>The 8800GTX is something of a classic as far as FS is>concerned.>I've gone on EBay to see about purchasing one of these for my next build and I am faced with many choices at varying prices. Is there one particular type or part number of the 8800GTX that is superior?Thanks,Paul

Thanks, Mate. I'd done a search to try and find a Plum Island forum with no luck. I'll head over there.

Yes - to no avail. It almost looks like the textures below the runway are bleeding through, but not sure what is causing it. Hope to have a solution soon!Thanks; it's a neat little airport!Paulhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/192182.jpg

I've been enjoying Plum Island but recently noticed that the runway is now messed up with large blocks/stripes running across. I don't recall adding or changing anything, but I may have.I've seen this problem pop up on another forum, but didn't see an answer. Anyone seen this and/or know how to fix it?ThanksPaulhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/192180.jpg

You've described how I create log cabins to use in Alaska. I've also had fun creating bump, specular, and night textures. The bump (normal) maps really bring out the nail heads and grooves in the corrugated roof, and the specular texture makes it shine like metal.There is a well-written tutorial from MS in the SDK for building and texturing a house. Godzone also created some wonderful tutorials that I use.

We have FS Repaint to view aircraft without starting up FSX. Can't one of the good developers create an application to allow us to view gmax scenery without loading FSX? Please? I'll pay for it!Cheers,Paul
