Hi, first of all, i am sorry if the solution to my problem is stated elsewhere, but i cant seem to locate it. in every aircraft i have, i assign the landing gear to a saitek throttle quadrant. i set a range for the gear to be down and when it exits that range the gear goes up. this is not working with the FSX PMDG 737 NGX. the gear will go up, but when the lever (on my throttle) is pulled down, the on screen gear lever begins to pulse in and out and the gear doesnt go down. . i am using windows 7, fresh fsuipc.ini and registered FSUIPC. any help will be appreciated.

just did fresh install of fsx with acceleration. on my previous install, i had all my saitek yoke/rudder/throttle settings assigned through registered copy of fsuipc. only thing that was assigned through FSX was the hat switch to allow for panning the view. now, however, as i attempt to do the same thing, every time i start FSX the default settings return through FSX. i have checked my permissions and access stuff in the folder properties. all is well there. i really dont want to assign the pan view to fsuipc because its not as smooth. im just not sure why it worked before and now it wont. i have searched the fsuipc forums and google and no one can seem to find an answer for these problems. if anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

hi, i have had the radeon 6950 for about 6 months now, with three monitors connected in an eyefinity set up. up until about two weeks ago all was fine. i had to reinstall windows 7 on my computer (8gb RAM), and once i did that, i also reinstalled the drivers for the 6950 (catalyst 12.8 i believe). since then however, i have been having issues with the monitor connected to the DVI port on the card. there will be a random flicker where the monitor goes black for about 2-3 seconds, then turn back on. the interval this happens is totally random. i have tried reinstalling the drivers, i have tried downgrading to previous drivers, all with no luck. any ideas on how i can fix this issue would be appreciated.....

Thanks dfw, I have same problem at night. Can't hardly see at all with dome light. I will check the panel cfg too. Thanks so much!

hi everyone, to anyone using the aeroworx b200 and reality xp gns530, i am hoping you can help me get setup to use this unit in the virtual cockpit. i have searched on the forums and manuals for the past three hours and cannot seem to be able to get the vc panel in my king air to display the reality xp gns530. i have tried the retrofits that were offered by others on the reality xp site, but no luck. the one thing that happens is the gps that comes with the plane no longer works either, but the gauge of it is still there in the panel. i am using FS9.1, windows 7. any advice would be appreciated.

i will take a look at the manual, hey thanks for all the help!!

If you are pretty good with weather functions, could you maybe answer this question for me....I am having trouble understanding the snapshot feature in ASE. I get that you load texture and take a snapshot if you like it, but how does it work with live weather? Is it an either/or option? Snapshot or live weather?

the settings you mentioned seemed to work out ok. i will continue to tweak but i think this solved the bulk of my problem!

fozzer, thanks so much. i am going to reinstall REX textures, and then set the visibility in the weather and ASE (both were very high). i will let you know, but thanks so far for the input....

i am using Active sky evolution.this will still work to set it up through FS or do i need to set a visibity setting in ASE too

how would i go about decreasing the max visibility and to what value?

here is a little follow up... the extended texture box did help. basically what is going on is that basically i am able to see further than the sim can draw the textures. for example, at FL180 i can see a long way, but the textures will only be drawn to 150 mi max. if i can see further than that then the textures are different. is there any way to make it so that the textures are the same everywhere?

i will check extended textures when i make my next flight, but as i said this just started after installing REX textures. this happens at all altitudes, although you see more of it the higher you are. when flying low, its in the distance a bit, but still noticable (thanks guys for your input btw)

yes, although it seems a little further off in the distance, not too much though.

recently installed REX and trying to use it with active sky evolution. the textures look great up close, but now i am having the issue below. i was advised to tweak my fs9.cfg file, but i dont know which setting, how much, or even if thats the problem. any help is appreciated...btw using fs9 and window 7.
