Figured it out / you have to download as a zip file not the default mode / then extract / place all files in one folder and run installer

Trying to install the big island from the hawaii photoreal project and having no luck. I downloaded all four files however getting message that files are corrupt. 3 of the files are bin files the 4th is the installer. Anyone install this scenery successfully ? thanks

Have been watching this thread and others and took the plunge this weekend / installed fsx/ se ( uninstalled disk fsx) on seperate drive. I have a 2600 k over clocked to 4.5 and gtx570. So far I definetly see an improved performance. I have seen posts that refer to smoothness and never really took much credence in them however after installing steam I am sold on this concept. I have also seen an increase in fps anywhere from 3/4 fps in demanding situations up to 10/12 fps in less demanding scenarios. My addons include Rex, asn, ftx global, fsdt airports, flyTampa pmdg ngx, a2a cessna, dx10 fixer etc. For folks on the fence I say give it a try in my case definetly worth it.

Thinking it is time to upgrade my card currently I have gtx 570 (system 2600k overclocked to 4.5) I run fsx with pmdg , utx, orbx global, rex, asn. If I upgraded to gtx 970 what kind of performance increase could I anticipate ? My system runs well however when running pmdg ngx with stormy weather my fps definelty suffers and I was thinking the new card would help fps in moderate to heavy weather situations. I also was considering trying prepar3d and now that it utilizes the gpu more. Suggestions Thank-you

Thanks for the suggestion however I believe I solved it. I have d3d overrider working for my fsx (dx 10 fixer) Once I disabled the d3d overrider no issues. (this was also fouling up my windows movie maker) thanks again

Thanks for the suggestions but I have already tried these and still no go.

I turned up my anti aliasing to 12XS in nividia inspector and this solved the problem without effecting my fps.

I recently reinstalled fs2004 on my computer windows 7 nividia gtx 570 and love the high fps I have been getting especially with active sky weather turned up. My current problem however is that I can't get fs2004 to work in windowed mode. Upon intial startup no plane is shown in startup menu unless I go to full screen. Also when in the game when I try to go from full screen to windowed mode the screen blacks out or freezes and I can only view it if I go back to full screen. The main reason I want to operate in windowed mode is that I have two monitors and would like do work etc. on the second monitor during long flights. I have tried turning off aero and changing suggested compatabilty settings via fs2004 properties but no go. Any ideas ? thanks

I just recently reinstalled fs2004 and have really been enjoying the high fps I have been getting with everthing maxed out. (ai traffic, rex, active sky, various addon airports gex,utx and ifly 737) My one issue is jaggies / shimmering. I used nicks guide in simforums (2010) however still getting the jaggies /shimmering. Does someone have a current nivia inspector setting ? (nividia driver I have is 344.65 /inspector version 1.9.7.3) Thank-you

Question / have been away from fsx for a little while and just updated from 1.4 to 2.4 and everything seems to be working fine/ should have I unistalled 1.4 then installed 2.4 ? How should I proceed going forward ? thanks

Thanks I love your setup.

I currently run my sim on a 40 inch led tv (very happy with visuals) and another small monitor for fmc, radar contact etc. I was thinking of building a home cockpit but once I started pricing out the various components I was unsure I wanted to lock myself into one type of plane.( I most frequently fly pmdg 737 however I still like to fly on occasion other airliners and some ga planes) So now I was thinking of purchasing a 65 inch led (while measuring components for 737 it appears a 65 inch would allow me to display instruments at close to real world sizes / capt windows view 31 inches wide 15.7 inches height / captain's side mip 37.4 inches wide 14 inches high) which would allow me to fly different planes however the flight instruments would be close to real world sizes. Thoughts /opinions thanks

Anyone ever order their throttle quadrant ?

I appreciate your help / with the fps increase I have experienced it's a small issue that I can live with.

I have completed all other steps but still same issue. After completing profile do I just start fsx regular way? I feel as if the mod hasn't been applied.
