Thank you Steve for the amazing work, you and Joel too.. I really love the new sound set, specially the Rattle and TOGA sounds..

Tried it out, and no FPS increase nor decrease, thanks for sharing

hmmm, so what you are trying to say is Maybe if I increased the AutoGen density to Extreme Dense would increase my FPS? I will try that out and let you know

Hehe, Thank you Steve. I am free for any tryouts and tests..

Alright Guys; I think I've found my way for a solution, and I'm Very pleased with it.. What I've done is OverClocking my VGA from stock 775MHz to 900MHz Core Clock, and From 1050MHz to 1200MHz Memory Clock, I've also changed the Buffer Pools entry to 0 in FSX.cfg, Also I've noticed in the MSI Afterburner software that GPU usage sometime reached to 70% which is quite rare for FSX :). With ATI-tray tools: 4X Super-Sample AA, Edge Detect, Anistropic 16x, Texture Quality : High Quality, V-Sync : Always Off, I get between 25 to 30 FPS (Low Resolution Cockpit) @ EHAM aerosoft and about 20 to 25 (High Resolution Cockpit). I am pleased with the current settings as if I want to gain more FPS it's just 2 clicks away in the display setting, same time I've get rid of those lines.. I thank everyone who tried to help me, more discussions are welcomed. Thanks.

Thank you Steve very much for your help, But I've given a try before for that shader addon, and it didn't do anything, Screens still has the lines.. It's even worse, Clouds didn't look sharp as before also the water has no animation and looks strange (Attached), and I only use REX for the water (no FS Water Configurator). ----- Just to let you know, Lines exist under (Multi-Sample & Adaptive-Sampling), it goes with Super-Sample (at least 4X) and Low Res Cockpit texture.. NOTE: I've played around with the FSX.CFG, and I've changed the BufferPools to (UsePools=0) instead of (RejectThreshold=131072) and I got nearly 5 to 10 FPS increase at EHAM with aerosoft, Just wanted to share the info..

Thank you Ryan for you comment, maybe next upgrade will move back to Nvidia.

Thank you Jamie for the reply, but V-Sync was off all the time. I will give a try after an hour cause I am in a flight now, and I will post the results. Thanks again.

Thank you Jamie, it dose help indeed, and that what I posted in my first post, last picture, but my question is, that I can't get rid of those lines in Multi or Adaptive sample (8X and Edge Detect selected), only Super Sample can remove it, and that hit the FPS so much as you just mentioned. So I am wondering how to get rid of it under Multi or Adaptive sampling.. Thanks

It's a grid of lines and dots and that when I move the view inside the VC those rapidly moves with me, and it's visible only on the displays, and it's also only visible in High Res. cockpit setting with AA MultiSample and Adaptive, but not visible under low resolution cockpit and under Super Sample AA.. Pics: Can you see those lines, Grids or dots that changes on the display? it's really annoying.

Hello Guys; First: I would like to Thank PMDG for the Masterpiece the 737, and it's the most enjoyable aircraft I've ever Virtually flown :), Thank you -- Second: Here is my PC setup Processor : AMD Phenom II x4 945 @ 3.3 GHz (OverClocked) MB : Gigabyte GA-880GM-D2H Graphics Card : Gigabyte AMD HD6850 (GPU Clock : 875MHz, Memory Clock : 1200MHz) (OverClocked) RAM : 8GB Kingstone running at 1333 MHz HD : Old western Digital 7200 RPM.. So it's a capable PC. -- Third: The Problem: Here is my issue with PMDG 737 ONLY, in the displays (AA) I've used many AA Tools, like stock AMD CCC, It didn't help, but finally ATI Tray seems to do the job well. What I see is too many dots -that moves rapidly whenever the head moves- in the displays and text is very sharp but not readable from distance. I've tried (Multi-Sample AA, 8X, Box, Wide-Tent and Narrow-Tent) The displays are very sharp but the text not clear, and the dots exist. Same thing with (Adaptive Multi-Sample AA, 8X, Box, Wide-Tent and Narrow-Tent) dots exist. -- The only two solutions I have, is to uncheck "High Resolution Cockpit Texture" but that leads to a very blurry text in the display, and blurry texture overall, but no more dots. Second Solution is to use (Super-Sample AA, at least 4X with Box Fliter), and I've used that for a while and I was happy, but it's a big FPS Hit when flying in addon scenery like Aerosoft. I've uploaded some pictures: AA-Adaptive - 8X - Wide-Tent Fliter - LowRes Cockpit, I get around 25~30 FPS in addon scenery. AA-Adaptive - 8X - Wide-Tent Fliter - HighRes Cockpit, As you can see, text is sharp but not readable from distance, Picture maybe not showing it, but I think you got the idea + The dots. I get around 21~26 FPS in addon scenery AA-SuperSample - 4X - Box Fliter - HighRes Cockpit, it's simply Perfect, text are readable, no dots, but it's FPS hit in addon scenery, I get around 15~21 FPS So, what shall I do to get rid of the display dots, without loosing the high quality but with good FPS at the same time, because SuperSample is not the best solution for me (FPS wise). -- Other Notes; Bojote's Tweaking. Here is my settings in FSX: Traffic is OFF, Weather on Medium High Also in ATI Tray: Anisotropic Filtering : Quality with Trilinear, 16X Texture Preference : High Quality MipMap Detail level : High Quality V-Sync : OFF Anisotorpic Filtering Optimization : Checked Trilinear Filtering Optimization : Checked Enable Surface Format Optimizations : Checked Catalyst A.I. : Performance Triple Buffering : Checked Force Z Buffer Depth : Disabled I also had an Nvidia 9600 GSO, and had the same problem, so I think it's not Nvidia , AMD thing? Thanks in advance, sorry if it's repeated ( searched ) or long topic.

Repeated

Well, as long as I know, that FSX doesn't take the full advantage of dual cards, or it might take only between 20% to 50% of the second card.But any way, congrats for your new card ;)..Thanks.

Ok, Here is the situation;First of all, Airsimmer Released it for some money problems ( I Assume), so they need cash flow, other side, If people won't buy, the company will close, then there will be no airbus any more, until a new one appears.But the Marketing Move from airsimmer was Badly done, so People complaining about the Marketing and the way you buy, with no Upgrade as an optionFinally, No one knows When the advanced will be available, and some People can't wait the advanced, same time, they don't like the prices and "No Upgrade Option".It's kinda like a circle and we all complain, we are waiting from Airsimmer the correct decision to be taken.

Well Thanks for the reply,From my side, I see that PMDG Prices are reasonable, same as others, but the Basic edition shouldn't be with 40$ comparing the total price of both with other companies, and who knows if they are going to release the bus for FSX with the same price or no?, I think they didn't mention that on the website..Eventually in Airsimmer "Basic", you pay the model, cabin & Standard FMGS, and I still think it's not worth 40$.. << You can compare that with the Level D Price!!Thanks.

Guys Please, with no offense, Please Do not compare PMDG With Airsimmer, PMDG is a Legand, Airsimmer is new in the market, and my opinion, and it's related to me, after I saw the screen shots and the videos about airsimmer, didn't feel the "Touch" Of PMDG, That makes the aircraft has another sensation, Like the Queen of the Skies, or the MD-11..Airsimmer Disappointed me as a member by their move in the release and Marketing, I felt they went rush, and do anything to make people buy, with bad decisions, which isn't a good way to start.PMDG has a Great history in FS Community, but for me, I won't compare it to any other product or company..Finally, I will wait the advanced version, just to learn a new aircraft till the NG2 comes out for FS9 from PMDG.Thanks.

It is Modeled, and I heard it once, usually on the final Approach.Try to do it again.Thanks.

Right click Properties on the desktop icon it's in the same list as Run as Admin. something names like that. Desktop something, Can't remember it exactly.

Do you use windows vista?If you use it, so it's a common problem, try to run it as administrator by pressing right click on the desktop icon, and compatibilities, Check run as admin., and try, if the problem still there so you have to check Desktop Composition (Can't remember the name), that will disable your aero theme until you shut down your Flight simulator.

For me I guess that you have to turn on the Anti Ice, the TAT is -32Regards.

I think that PROF. Is doing the same job as LVLCHG in Boeing, so if you set 5000 and pressed PROF or Pulled the knob both will do the same thing as you want to desc. to 5000 feet, but if you set the ALT setting to your final level or level higher than you are, I think different thing will happen, Like Climbing.Maybe those words are useful, and if I am wrong anyone that have more experience can correct me.Regards.Ibrahim Nassef

Just try to set the Auto brake to MED or MAX, and see..What I had experienced that the reverse and spoilers and brakes are connected to each other related with the aircraft declaration rate.If your aircraft is light, so when you land the auto brake will come up until you put the reverse in full thrust, in that case your auto brake will not be active any more, Until you put your throttle in Idle..I checked it out by doing a lot of touch and gos and a lot of flights to try to find out, and I did, and I think it's not a bug PMDG knows what they are doing, maybe that's a MD-11 Special braking system to make the landing more comfortable as it can for the passengers, and also as we all know "MD-11 is Different".Regards.
