Good day, after the purchase of the 777 (I don't know if it's connected or not), i've noted in my NGX one little "problem" In fact before descending the T/D green write over my route in the PFD start flashing fastly or moving up and down fastly. the airplane is able to descend and the path is always correct, but I've never noted this kind of flashing or moving of T/D, it was every time fixed and stable in my route. Any Suggestions? Cheers

Well like Ryan said in one post, is a knowing FSX bug, but like in the NGX the problem is minimized and you can slow down 1 or 2 fps (in my configuration), in the 777 (that was presented lighter than the NGX) my framedrop is 12 fps! That is really much and should (I really hope so) be corrected! B) :mellow:

Well, i've never noted in the NGX but I believe in you :lol: So that will be PMDG with its fixes to minimize this annoying problem as they've made with NGX I'll exercise to put mouse outside the window when i don't need it! Thanks for your replay

This is the real problem, to my mind, I've the same situation too. Ok it's a FSX limitation but in the NGX it doesn't occur. I loose 12 fps, there are too much! But as always I'm sure that PMDG will fix this annoying cursor problem!

Well Alex, of course PMDG (as usual) will find the solution for all, and will come out SP1 etc etc... The mouse problem is strange, that is the first time it occurs in my simulator (even not with the NGX it occurred). But after 2 days of test, I can confirm that on ground, on taxi, on takeoff, on climbing, approach, landing, and taxi to gate, mouse drops down my framerate (-12 fps!!). And I'm also sure, that PMDG with the first SP release will introduce a performance manager and will make the mouse pointer less heavy, and ininfluent as the NGX. Cheers

Thank You for your answer, but I think that is a small Issue with the virtual cockpit of the 777. In an Italian forum I've read that even in the iFly 737 there was a frame drop caused by the mouse, and they have solved with a service pack.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubxbFv8rkz4 That was the problem (i've linked a video only to show the kind of problem!) In fact the 777 it's the only airplane that cause that drop (the NGX not) so that it isn't a my spec problem! I hope that PMDG can solve that!

I can confirm that having the mouse over the Virtual cockpit cause a framerate drop! I've tested in different situation and now i'm sure about that! After anothers test I CAN CONFIRM that my framerate drops during from 5/6 seconds depends on mouse active over virtual cockpit. Infact if the mouse is outside the FSX window, or it's inactive I don't have theese kind of struttering and drops!

I've done the defragmentation! I do it everytime I install something new! For the refresh rate, 8 it seems to fix all my troubles! Stay tuned for others news!

Hey Man! I've tried your "Fix" and sets 8 to My 777 ND & PFD.... Well I've done a take off from OMDB and my framerate drops to 20, is gone away :blink: Now I'll try a full flight (with taxi approach and land), if you solve my problem I'll gave you a beer! :lol:

After another some tests I can see that the problem in frame rate drop (19/20) from 30 for me, is occuring when: -Sometimes moving the Mouse - I've given aircraft full throtte and the virtual cockpit of the airplane moves all back for the trhust power - I've looked outside (obviously from the front glass). Hope a performance fix will come outside, thanks PMDG for all your support! Really appreciated

Arjen you are right, but We all know, FSX has its limitation unfortunately. As a user, of another forum, creator of panels usually said: FSX should be reprogrammed from base! I'm sure that PMDG will solve all this problem (even I'm sure that there something to fix in the virtual cockpit, because there are sometimes performance loss). As the NGX in 1 month (or less) we'll have a fantastic product!

I've manually reduced textures of Virtual Cockpit with Photoshop and DTX Plugin and resized them from 1024 to 512 px. The frame rate is impressive better (in my system...). I've noted virtually stutter during takeoff and landings and sometimes during taxi with framerate that goes down to 19-20 and return to 30 after TOFF. With NGX, 744 and MD11 this ""problem"" didn't occur. To my mind it should be something in the virtual cockpit that disturb (eg some kind of calculation or a texture) that cause this problem! I'm sure that PMDG will investigate and resolve!

I'll try now 60 FPS for displays, hope give best result even to me! I've noted some LOC troubles in approach to VMMC, and some AP disconnect troubles (continue Warning system sounds, they only stop if I engage again the Autopilot). Really good aircraft, as I said users are the best beta tester (with always respect for the fantastic work of the Beta tester team!!) As RSR said, is really easy fall in love with this lady! EDIT I've tried, for me the best performance is fixed to 15 Nothing to do, I've noted virtually stutter during takeoff and landings with framerate that goes down to 19-20 and return to 30 after TOFF. I think that only an update with a Service Pack could help us! So we should stay tuned ^_^

Zeljko you are welcome, just one information about soundcard, could you link some model or some information about it? I'm interested in adding to my pc!
