Hi guys I have also a AMD processor (FX-8150 8 cores) and a GTX-650 card, however my system shows the following peculiarity: when I assign 254 in the affinity mask,that means 7 cores, all cores when I am running FSX are at the max 100% and the frames drop dramatically(exteme stutters) but when I assign one core the frame rate becomes normal again (20-25) and I can run NGX ok,shou'nt be the other way around? any suggestions? Thanks Panos

Thanks for the replies guys! I added the statements in my config file as jostytosty suggested, and I did noticed some inprovement in the frames, but the main problem remains that is the stuttering, I can have frames up to 24-28 and al of a suddent it drops down to 5-9, it feels like the plane hits a wall, it becomes for a few seconds impossible to fly. I attach a copy of my config file its a clean copy(I reinstall FSX plus the suggestions Thanks Panos [sOUND] AmbientUIMusicVolume=-6.000000 SOUND=1 SOUND_QUALITY=2 SOUND_LOD=0 UISound=1 AmbientUI=0

Hello guys, I write to this forum as my last resort before I guit using FSX and return to to FS 2004. First, is my system that bad?: AMD--FX-8150, (I know it's not intel) 8 GB ram, nividia GTX-650, (1 gig), I am getting in Corfu X airport, with FSX dowloaded wheather 6-11 FPS,(pmdg NGX) scales mid to left , either I must be doing something utterly wrong or my system is for the trash bin. I have tried many tweeks and suggestions to no avail, I have simply run out of ideas, even with the default cessna with unlimited frames I get at max 15 frames which can drop to 5 and then back to 15 (stutters?). Is the only solution to invest on a I7? Looking forward to suggestions Thanks Panos Bilios LGKR

HiNice to see my home airport :smile:PanosLGKR

Hi BerniThanks for a fantastic video, very informativereal word procedures , makes me proud to see myhome airportPanos

HiI tried to change the texture settings with the performance managerand while I changed the two texture settings for the cockpit leaving the instrumentsettings to high the skeleton plane did appeared when I changed views.Changing back all three settings to max it dissapeared.I have a I5 system with 6 gb ramPanosLGKR

Hi From what I read in the FCOM, and if I understand it right there are two versions of the FMC10.7 and earlier and 10.8 The FMC simulated after the HF4 is the 10.8 oneAccording to the FCOM aircraft equipped with that version the preferred method for takeoff is to arm VNAVon the ground and let VNAV fly the takeoff profile, according to the speeds and accel height programmed in the FMC.If you don,t want VNAV the other option under 10.8 is to use LEVEL CHANGE at accel altitude dial the bug up speedand accelerate, this is what is simulated in NGX Aircraft with 10.7 version and earlier there you could push N1 at thrust reduction height and at accel altitude dial thebug up speed retract flaps and accelerate, this to my understanding is not simulated , not at least in the simulatedaircraft I fly Please If anyone can confirm the above RegardsPanos

thanks now that's clear

I think you are right when flying manually simply at acceleration altitudeincreasing the MCP speed to bug up will not cause the FD to move down in orderfor you to push down the yoke (it did that before the hotfix 4), you have now to push either LEVEL CHANGE or VNAV to accelerate Panos

I notice the same behavior too

HiJust competed a flight LIME-LICJ with the new fixno problems at all, seems smoother too Panos

hi guys I had the same problem just changeto us metric system in the FSX menu and problem gone Panos

Hello, First I would like to congratulate PMDG for an amazing aircraft! its trulya work of art. Thank you I have a question about the FD bars on landing, during a manual approachi have seen in videos that at 50 feet there always retract from view, it seemsthat this does'nt happen on manual approaches but only during autoland landings It this the case or am I doing something wrong Thanks Panos BiliosLGKR

Hi The G/A button has to be pressed on the throttlesfor G/A mode to be engazed either in autoflight or manual flightand appear on the EFISPanos
