The best way to use it and which also speeds up fsx loading time, is to simply simply disable the areas you are not using.If you only fly in Europe for example, then temporarily disable other add-ons I the US for instance. It works really well. Cheers

.. a virtual coat? of course you silly Billy.

...just noticed, goat is an anagram of TOGA - Now that's spooky. If I said I had a beard you would of course know what sort

Nanuary next year I believe I believe the developers are working on the follow up. Mountain goat x. You know, difficult approaches and the like.

How much RAM do you need for this ?

Well,actually I run 10.25 with the HD mesh using HD5770 (1Gb) and get around 30fps on average. That's with terrain on high but HDR turned off. BTW th's with the latest catalyst/driver release (13.9 I believe).

Some fair points there Ray. I myself have'nt bought it since I generally fly 2-3 hour routes. I suspect part of the reason for the seemingly high purchase price maybe to do with piracy. I'm sure that within a short time, this,like loads of other flightsim addons,will be pirated and hence PMDG have to factor this into their marketing.Just a thought.

Komrad Ron, I just love these proper old lumps. Reminds me of the days when men were men and Russia was CCCP. Keep up the good work - if not,you will be sent to work in a tractor factory in Siberia...

Saitek support is first rate. My throttle quadrant developed a fault - they then replaced yoke and quadrant with a week. Can't argue with that.

Thanks a lot for taking the trouble to reply guys - much appreciated. You certainly have given me lots to consider. Take care

Hi folks, Just one question really; I intend putting together a new rig for FSX and XP10. Money is no object to the build and I have no real preferences to brands etc. That said, I have always used (and liked) ATI cards and gigabyte boards. I live in the UK. All suggestions on components / cooling and anything else are most welcome. Cheers

.... a mere baby at 58 ! Flying real stuff/full-motion sims since mid 70'S (Thats the 1970's Ron...) and I still have some hair left......

Worked fine for me. No real differences/improvements however, I would say that the colours seem more vibrant. I realise that is of course, subjective.

There should of been more Geese but I got a OOG error :crazy:

Following some testing ,I don't think fps has changed,although the colours do seem more vibrant. This is subjective I know. Would be interested to hear other peoples experiences and catalyst settings. Cheers, Steve

Thanks for the reply gizmosellsbunnys. I did make a typo earlier - It was meant to say that I currently use catalyst 12.10. Anyway, think I will give 13.1 a shot and see how it performs. cheers

Hi folks, I was wondering if anyone had upgraded to the latest catalyst who are also using the radeon 5770? I use this card myself and catalyst 12.2 with no real issues. The latest catalyst appears to only offer benefits for the 7xxx series,at least on paper.Any thoughts? Cheers, Steve

Just to let you know, offer is still available as at 1710utc,22 November 2012. Cheers for the initial info Steve

Hi, I suspect the updated drivers are the problem. Happened to me recently going from Catalyst control centre 12.8 to 12.11 - caused no end of problems,including blurry textures. What card do you have? cheers steve

Hi Stephen, Just purchased your great new product and have to say very impressed with the weather depiction. Well done! Therein lies the problem however.... All installed as per manual etc and using FEX 1024 clouds. At Heathrow earlier I was getting frames in single figures - I guess due to the amount of cloud cover etc. The question is - is there a way to greatly improve the frame rates without detracting from the full "glory" of you program? Any/all advice gratefully received All the best Steve

Outstanding work guys - another "must have" I think. Stev

I did think about adding the 430, but only really use the 530 for navigation. For the popup, I assigned a spare button on my saitek set through FSUIPC. Steve
