Sounds like your parents bought you your PC. NOTE: Didnt notice how old the topic was

Will try it for sure! Thanks for the suggestion. -K

When the lagging and skipping starts, all systems fail, plane start totally misbehaving. Nothing responds to inputs unless I turn off the terrain mode and switch to manual control.

For some reason when I select the terrain mode, the plane (or sim) go haywire. The plane starts lagging/skipping, doing barrel rolls, dead flips. As soon as I switch mode to OFF or go to WXR settings, everything goes back to normal. Any ideas? Thanks, Kosntantin K

You got it :wink:

I think ActiveSky is the only addon that works with PMDG 777, so that takes my pick.

Keep in mind the fact that all guides are universal therefore there is always a change that you will get more out of your sim by tweaking things yourself.

I hope those FPS statistics are taken on a mediocre machine and not a high end super computer (ex. 5960X CPU, 32GB ram, GTX 980SLI)

Slowly leaning to KDEN, but its a close battle. Still debating pressing that "buy" button.

I forgot to mention that I own KPHX as well but its essentially West Coast.

I dont really feel like dishing out $100 right now. $50 I can live with

Thanks guys, So far KDEN - 2 KIAH - 0

So I have manged to get a hold of bunch of airports within North American continent: On the east coast I got FlyTampa CYYZ, FSDreamTeam KJFK, FlyTampa KBOS, KMIA, FlightBeam's KIAD. On the west coast I got FSDreamTeam KLAX & CYVR, FlightBeam's KSFOHD, Aerosoft Anchorage and T2G KSEA. Here is my issue, I have essentially all of those airports for North America, and some of you might see a problem here, they are all either East Coast or West Coast, nothing in the middle. So I have decided that I will purchase an airport for continental US, somewhere in the central states. After all the research that I have done I have ran into another issue....I could not pick between the two airports which I was thinking of getting. FSDreamTeam KIAH Houston or FlightBeam's Denver. Both those airports have amazing reviews, both have similar price, both are extremely detailed and both are located almost right smack in the middle of the states. Help me out here :smile:

Well I dont believe it! Big thank you goes out to Umberto, he managed something out of simple suggestion (after literally almost 2 hours of testings via teamviewer) and it worked. Essentially and sadly the problem comes down to the flight simulator itself. As far as I have understood there is LOD problem with FSX Deluxe Edition with SP2. After installation of FSX Gold Edition (acceleration), and reinstalling all addons, everything works flawlessly. I am sure he will put it down as the solution for those issues. The ordeal is over.

I never got a reply from Umberto, sat the whole day at home and waited for nothing. My gut feeling is that they have no idea how to fix it and wont as I am the only person with this problem. I guess I will be flying to the airports with no terminals......on the bright side....at least the runways are working.
