North Texas Flight Simmers
Hi guys, Looking to see how many of you are in the North Texas area and may be interested in possibly meeting up to fly/talk simming, aviation, and any other topics that may come up? I had a pretty good group of us meet up once or twice a month at different people's homes flying and talking aviation and would like to try to get it up and running again here in the DFW area if there is interest. Feel free to respond to this thread or PM me if you are interested! Take care! Mike

Carenado B1900D Released
I've taken a couple spins around in the B1900D after finally downloading. Visuals are great and very good fps overall. Handling is very good but then I'm not sure what a real turboprop is like so take it for what it's worth. Interior sounds seem like they should be louder as I've been on some Great Lakes B1900Ds at the front of the cabin and the engine noise was very loud. I'll report back on the FMS once I get to utilize it for more than pattern work. Overall I'm pretty happy so far, a few bugs to work out but I think it's a winner for me.

QW 737!
This is definitely exciting news. Been watching Enigma for over two years and was disappointed when this 737 project came to halt. Very happy to see QW take not only the project but much of the old Enigma team on to complete it!

Please try this when you have low fps with clouds and high AA settings
Thanks guys for the insight. Whatever restoring the default water textures does works beautifully. I have zero issues now in DX10 in ORBX land during heavy weather after restoring the default DX10 water, pegged at my frame lock of 30. Still have those great whitecaps too! Thanks gentlemen!

FBI VIRUS
I helped a friend remove this virus by setting up an alternate login user account and running the removal process from there. I tried a number of ways to remove it prior to the alternate user account only to find that the malware locks your rig up at startup to the point you can not even get into task manager. I cleaned the system and he has not had a problem since. I am guessing though he may have frequented a shady website.

Which Processor would be best?
Bownsy I run a a similar setup to what you're describing, i5 3570K o'clocked to 4.5ghz with a 660ti with the add-ons you spoke about. At FlyTampa KMDW in the NGX with real weather, REX, and UT2, I can get about 22-25 FPS with overcast skies. At FB KIAD it's around the same. I'm a pretty happy camper. You can't go wrong with the i5s. Regards, Mike

Reinstalling FSX on an upgraded PC
Happy to help out! Sounds like your on the right track for sure. You should not need the iso backup but honestly it won't hurt to retain it anyway. I have one I periodically back up to an external drive in case of disaster. If you have questions or need any help don't hesitate to PM me. Mike

Reinstalling FSX on an upgraded PC
Dom, I did a similar setup with my new system and things went much more smoothly than I expected. I backed up my fsx.cfg file to a safe location then upon re-installing the OS went ahead and re-installed FSX onto the main OS drive. Once that was done I replaced the fsx.cfg file with the original from my previous install and used the flight 1 registry tool to point to FSX on my second dedicated drive. Once that was done I manually deleted the new FSX install. I've had zero problems other than pointing my add-ones like REX, UTX, and GEX to the right places. Hope this helps, Mike

FSX fatal errors after new card install
You guys are the best! It figures that as soon as I posted the question I thought "well maybe the gigabyte software that I installed is the problem?!" Sure enough as soon as I disabled it everything was fine. Hopefully someone else may stumble across this thread as a help if they run into the same issue. I really appreciate everyone's help with this one! Take care, Mike Majdeski VA Beach, VA USA

FSX fatal errors after new card install
Hi guys, Experiencing some strange issues after installing a new 660 ti in my system (E7500 oc'd to 3.63 ghz, 4gb 1333 DDR3). Previously had a 450GTS working with zero issues. Uninstalled previous card, went through the driver uninstall as I normally do, installed the new card and then the 306.97 drivers. First the flight would load as normal but would get ground and terrain shaking. After uninstalling then re-installing the driver I get a fatal error (Crash details are attached in the .txt file). I also let the fsx.cfg rebuild itself as well and that did not help. I have tried several different Nvidia drivers to no avail. No overclock on the card and plenty of power, no other issues with any other programs. I'm pretty savy with these types of problems but I am stumped as to what is going on. Another strange thing is that the calendar in the free flight menu is not showing up. It is just a box that says "calendar". Any help you could provide is grealty appreciated! Thanks, Mike Majdeski VA Beach, VA USA
