Well, I just want to confirm what Jim and some others on this thread have said. I can not find any benefit from using AM on P3D v3.2. When I use AM (I have tried a lot of AM settings) I got worse performance compared to NOT using any AM setting. I have the same CPU as Jim, the I7-4790k. Maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe it's just that P3D v3.2 uses a modern CPU in a good way.

Looks great! :smile: Were can I find those for downloading?

Hmm...withdrawn for personal reasons? I still guess his been contacted by the new FSX franchise owners (whoever it may be). Just wonder what approch they have? Is it the "your not allowed to do this for some reason, bla, bla, bla, and we will sue you if you not withdraw!", or is it the "we like your work very much, can we perhaps buy the program/code or maybe hire you?". Well, let's hope for an answer in due time. In the meantime I use the copy of the fixer I have (2.3). DX9 is not an option anymore. Maybe it's time to move on to Prepar3D v.2.

Yes, probably. And if that's so, maybe the new owner of FSX want to do something possitive with the franchise. And then, maybe, they also see the great advantage of making FSX DX10 standard. And then, maybe, they want to either buy Steve's program/code or want to hire Steve himself in that work. That's my guess why it's so quiet from Steve right know. I guess he's in some sort of negotiations with the new franchise owners. Let's hope for the best. :smile:

Well, I'm not sure if it's possible to get the windows compleatly transparent. My guess is though, that it's not possible to delete the .bmp file, as long as the file is addressed somewhere in the airplanes code. FSX usually fill out such non-existant files with black color. My nav and strobe lights is, like yours, not visible in certain angles. But I can live with that, as most of my flying is from the cockpit, and I don't see them anyway.

I have the Just Flight/CLS B-767 and have it now working in DX10 mode. :smile: I use the DX10 fixer, and that one fixes the external textures. For the VC opaque windows though, I found that the .bmp file cls767_VC_t in the main CLS_767_textures map is the problem. It's the alpha layer that's not for some reason works in DX10 mode. So I made a new alpha layer for the .bmp file, using the great freeware tool "DXTBmp", and now I have transparent VC windows again! /Torbjörn Kuntze

So, what do I do to fix this error? Anyone who knows?

Yes, indeed! I realy love my new educational tool, Prepar3D. I learn a lot every day and I must say I enjoy every minute of it! ^_^ /Torbjörn

Well, I have left FSX for P3D. No more turning back. The performance of P3D is sooo much better. Better fps, very very smooth and the new shader makes a "grogg" that is so much tastier than FSX. Well. I guess the biggest question is if you are using some add-ons not working in P3D (like FSPassenger or something) and you just can't be without it. Then maybe you want to wait for the "jump" to P3D and stay with FSX. But for me, that's not the case. I can live without those add-ons for now, and who knows, some of them may come back in a P3D version in due time. /Torbjörn

There is an option in the P3D menu to switch off the "auto-open" ATC. I have it that way, and it only opens when I want it to. But yes, the ATC window is a pain in the .... and realy needs a fix of some kind. /Torbjörn

That makes me think of Eisenhower in "The Longest Day" declaring the start of the invasion of Normandy - " I'm quite positive we must give the order. I don't like it, but there it is. Gentlemen, I don't see how we can possibly do anything... but go." And yes, I'm ready to go too. Prepar3D, here I come! :smile: /Torbjörn Kuntze

Yes, I guessed that the mesh was not changed. I have now installed FSGenesis mesh, UTX and GEX for europe and made some test-flights. So far, so good. Looks lovely and (almost) stutterfree. P3D is so far a big "WOW". /Torbjörn

So, finally, after the release of P3D 1.4, I got me a copy of this most interesting simulator. :smile: I also got me the FSX to P3D migration tool. Now time to install some favorite add-ons and go flying. But, here's my question - What is the stock mesh they use? Is it the same as FSX, or anything better? Do I need to install my good old mesh from FSGenesis to have a correct mesh? Or What? /Torbjörn Kuntze
