Harddrive space not freeing up after deleting 70 GB
Also, keep in mind that if it was sent to the Recycle Bin, it's not really deleted off of the hard drive. Recycle Bins sizes are based off of the size of the hard drive, and can be seen by right-clicking on the Recycle Bin and setting sizes. You may need to empty the Recycle Bin to gain your space back (or like Venturi mentioned, use CCleaner, which cleans out all Recycle Bins when it's ran).

FSPassengers
Because I want to.

FSPassengers
To answer your original post VeryBumpy, yes FSPassengers has had improvements made to it over the old depreciated version. You can go to their website and look at exactly what has changed (including more voice packs!). I use AH2 AND FSPassengers in my virtual sim world.

Saitek throttle severed cord fixable?
pmanhart replied to zmak's topic in Hardware Controllers: Joysticks/Yokes | Throttle Quads | Rudder Pedals | Drivers etcIf you don't have a soldering iron, and your girlfriend has a nice blowdryer, you can easily use a solder sleeve to repair the breaks, then tape over the shrunk bundle of splices.

Performance Is HALF Of FSX:SE
You should be getting great performance in P3D. I never go below 25 FPS in Seattle with almost exactly same hardware specs, with almost all graphic settings maxed out (shadows and dynamic reflections included). In fact, I was flying around Orbx's YMML last night in the F1 B200 (G1000 is a FPS killer) and only dipped below 30 FPS when I upped the weather. Do not assume FSX-P3D settings are the same. Start with the default P3D settings and then work your way up from there. The sims are so far apart now in how they use your hardware and what the graphics settings actually do that you are doing yourself a disservice by trying to set them up similarly. Are you using some super-magical FPS killing AA settings?

Best replacement for (faulty) Saitek X52s?
If the Thrustmaster Warthog is a bit too rich for your blood, try out the CH Fighterstick. It's loaded with buttons, hats, etc., works with all versions of Windows, and will last you forever. http://www.chproducts.com/Fighterstick-v13-d-722.html

Why did FSX Gold (Boxed DVD's) become so expensive?
It's just simple free economics. Supply and demand, though I'm not sure where there is much demand... but there's obviously a small supply.

Mode 1: Always camera facing. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am sold... again...
You should absolutely give it a go. I don't see why the textures from Global will cause any problems with FPS.

SkySimulations DC-9 Prepar3D release
I don't believe these original DC-9s (which these are) had an FMS. :wink: In fact, looking through the screenshots on the product page, I don't see one. http://www.skysimulations.com/index.php?frame=cHJvZHVjdHM=&area=products&code=TWMgRG9ubmVsbCBEb3VnbGFz&cat=TWNEb25uZWxsIERvdWdsYXMgREM5IFAzRA==&prod_id=10

SkySimulations DC-9 Prepar3D release
I had the original for FSX years ago. I assume this is the updated version with slightly better pit textures and enhanced features, but I haven't gotten it for P3D yet. I enjoyed using it in FSX, if that helps!

Thanks fellas.

Flight1 Mustang Thoughts?
I haven't been visiting AVSIM as often as I used to, due to work commitments... (I see Elaine has changed her avatar again :wink:), so I'm not sure if there has been much posted about the Flight1 Cessna Mustang in P3Dv3. Has anyone had any experience with it in P3Dv3? What are your thoughts?

Ideas on what might have gone wrong?
I agree with Rich, something is going on hardware (or hardware driver) wise. How long did you run Prime95? Did you run a graphics card benchmarking tool like Furmark (http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/ ) to see if it's the video card? I ask because Prime95 doesn't task the video card at all, only the CPU/FSB/RAM... You seem like a computer savvy person, so I've avoided asking the stupid questions, but it does definitely seem like it's hardware or driver related. Driver Fusion is a tool I've used in the past to scan and uninstall old drivers that may be causing issues: https://treexy.com/products/driver-fusion

Does your traffic addon fill up airports?
UT2 with the Daily Flights additional addon, available at the UT2 Support Forums, fills everything up nicely for me.

Saitek Supply Problems
IMHO, you are better off with the CH Eclipse.

What am I missing....
Is that a VOR, DME or GPS indication? If so, is there a way to cycle them or turn them on and off individually? I don't have any of the Carenado birds with this type of panel, so I can only guess.

Having fabulous FPS results and visual alacrity with DSR mode in 359.06 nVidia driver suite!
pmanhart replied to Sesquashtoo's topic in Video Hardware: Monitors | Multi-Monitors | Video Cards | Drivers etcNot sure about the Radeon cards, but make sure to recognize that you have the ability to adjust "sharpening" or "smoothness", meaning the amount of blur induced by the super-sampling. I use 27 or 29 depending on the level of DSR (2x or 3x, respectively), but have seen some people using as low as 21 or as high as 35. I think it all depends on the original resolution of the image, size of the monitor (pixel density) and personal taste. :wink:

Windows 10: the perfect anti-aircraft weapon
I don't think we are going to be seeing install discs much longer. Most people have been loading the OS download onto a USB Drive using the tool to do so (Microsoft provides it BTW).

pmanhart replied to Sesquashtoo's topic in Video Hardware: Monitors | Multi-Monitors | Video Cards | Drivers etcMitch, I agree that DSR is fantastic, however, may I suggest bumping down your smoothing to between 27-29%. I get a much clearer picture at those settings using either 2x or 3x DSR. Give it a try!

Releases for 2016
This is my #1 awaited product on my list. I loved the first one, and cannot wait for this release. I've been trying to keep myself busy using FSPassengers, but I really miss the business aspect from Air Hauler.

windows 10 & v3
Read it as well. Windows 10 updating automagically when it does. Still no problems with Prepar3d or any other program used on my computer. Think that some people use it as an excuse to dislike something. Haters gonna hate.

windows 10 & v3
No issues to report here. I've been using W10 and v3 since both were released and haven't had a single problem.
