Potentiometers or not. It's an electromechanical device after all. It will break for heaven's sake.

"NEVER IN MY CAREER HAVE I EVER BEEN TOLD ITS NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH! Yet here you are worrying about in a game. " You are on a game forum board. Of course people talk about the game, not your 737.

In Settings-> Sounds, turn down the "character voice" or similar, can't exactly remember.

Has anyone else had the aircraft folders missing from the community folder after the upgrade? Had to remove then re-add the packages in the installer. Weird, maybe a fluke. Thx all.

Glad it worked for you! It helped me keep shadows at "Global High", I really like this (very expensive) setting.

Hi all, Maybe I'm stating the obvious, but, new to x-plane here.. Changing "Multi-display/mixed GPU acceleration" to "Single display performance mode" provided an great frame rate boost, 50% or so. Noted this on a GTX970 and a new 1070

It looks like the 10.50 autogen is using OSM.. would that mean that it will do what world2xp does now?

The sounds and immersion on IXEG are impressive.. did not think this was possible with a flight sim. Just watch the PFDs flicker when switching the bus

This is a feature in win 10, apparently to prevent swapping to disk. The problem is, it seems to be very aggressive in doing that. On a system with 16gb of RAM, and running x-plane, the process used 7-8, and "system and compressed" 2-3gb. It looks to me that the OS was always compressing/decompressing pages in RAM, although there was enough free available, task manager reported 65 % usage. The "system and compressed" also used 20-30 CPU . long story short, disabling the superfetch service stopped this behavior.. Probably some of you ran into this, just sharing my observation.

Perfect combination, on a clean Win10 install though. None of the USB disconnect issues experienced in Win8. The performance is on par with Win7 Stefan Ticusan

I agree, I have upgraded from a 560Ti to a 970, FSX improvements were marginal if any while in P3D the frame rate virtually doubled.

Agree with others, for the countless hours of enjoyment they provide, PMDG products (and other high quality add-on makers) are actually a great deal. For me at least, PMDG is an instant buy.

This is quite right, if you divide the price to the countless hours if enjoyment we get out of it, it's a very good deal.

I have just upgraded from a 560Ti 2gb to a 970 4gb. Not much increase in fps with fsx and dx10, totaly different with P3D 2.4, 50% maybe more.. Quiet and cool too

I agree with the dx10 preview and fixer, it reduces VAS. I was not able to fly into fsdt cyvr and orbx pnw with the Pmdg 777, now the vas does not go over 3gb in the same situation with same settings.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I read somewhere than Alan Mulally is leaving Ford in 2014, possible candidate for MS CEO.

I used to get oom with the NGX at CYVR. I re-installed the airport with 1024K bitmap size, also reduced the REX clouds to 512K. Never had an issue since. I did not test the 777 yet.. Stefan

Another thing, use 1024k clouds, reduce some clod coverage etc. anything can help. Personally i think lower res clods look better anyway. Hi-res plane textures don't make much sense as we sit in the cockpit. Like anything that has to do with computers it's about compromising. unfortunately we have the fsx 32 bit addressable memory hard limit, we have to play within it. Thats a hard stop. We really cant blame developers if we chose to fly pmdg ngx with hi res cloud textures, orbx scenery and an addon like cyvr.

For those with oom errors, what helped in my case was to uncheck the "force 4096x4096 bitmaps" or similar wording in thr virtuali addon manager. Good luck

Do you think it's worth upgrading from a GTX460?...Thx.Stefan

There are three more in Linework, I hope you folks are aware..Stefan

Thank you

Damian,So will I be able to apply a theme and use it all the time, regardless of plan of weather? That's how I use REX and ASE right now.Many Thanks

I hope they do well, they really deserve it. I would have paid double for the NGX without blinking :)

Gentlemen,Those of you who bought Shade probably know how it works, at startup it inserts the modified sky textures in /textures folder while preserving the original ones by creating a temp directory in /textures. I found out that, probably my fault somehow not waiting for shade to cleanup on exit that I lost the original files. I did not like how Shade made the NGX cockpit look too dark so I decided not to use it. Not seing any improvement, I checked the timesamp on the files, all 140 sky*.bmp had an oct 2011 date and no backup to be found.. So i had to install fsx on a VM just to get the original textures back..The moral of the story, make sure you backup the files yourself..Stefan Ticusan
