I have this line in the cfg: [sCENERY] AUTOGEN_TREE_MAX_DRAW_DISTANCE=9500.000000 Is this what you changed, if so , what to? thanks

+1 happened to some airports after installing MyTraffic. This was a quicker fix than waiting for support to fix it

Thanks for the info Quote from the article "They are also on the 14nm die which means that they are more power efficient than their Haswell predecessors". Do you think this will solve the heat problem that my Ivy Bridge has?

Been wondering about upgrading my 3770K. Perhaps someone knowledgeable could take a look at this article and give us all an opinion. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-intel-skylake-core-i7-6700k-review

my 980 GTX is on it's way as a replacement for my 680 GTX. It's my understanding that all I have to do is: Install the new card update to the latest driver go to: C:/Users/Lyn/AppData/Local/Lockheed Martin/Prepar3DV2/Shaders Do I delete the Shaders Folder or the contents of the Shaders folder? Start P3d and the folder will rebuild thank you for any help

I use Microsoft Security Essentials, works well, runs in the background with a very small footprint, & best of all - it's free!

During installation of your addon, a window appears showing: "nameofaddon" will be installed in the following directory C:\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator X Right next to this here is usually a small white box with three periods inside of it and then the word "browse". I can't remember if you click the little white box, or the word "Browse", but when you do, another window will open showing all the drives,directories on your computer. Just click til you get the p3d folder. It is probably: Computer\C:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3d V2 When you have Prepar3d highlighted, close that window and the install path should be correct hope this helps

There were a couple of thing I couldn't find either, but I went ahead and followed the directions for what I did find, and everything worked!

here is post about updating video drivers that you may find interesting. It's the method I use. Ignore the part about Nvidia Inspector - not needed with P3d 2.4 http://www.simforums.com/forums/drivers-nv-inspector-fsxcfg-complete-guide_topic36586.html

would you please share your Nvidia Control Panel settings, not clear what you mean by "in most cases". thanks

would be grateful if if you could post a link to the "one small file". I also have this installed in 2.3 with no problems, enjoying it very much.

Yes, it is. I like to use some fog to stop from seeing the autogen pop in beyond the LOD radius. I have orb x global & vector and have found using the orb x weather themes are less of a hit. I believe theme #2 is overcast with a nice mist(fog). system specs? Excellent name by the way!

I was getting great performance with 2.1 with fps set @ 30. Also using MSI Afterburner to monitor fan, temp & gpu usage. With 2.2 fps is down to 12 and gpu usage on my 680GTX has gone from 50% to 99%!!!!

This happened to me in p3d 2.1 after I installed MyTraffic. I fixed it using Airport Design Editor

I use this method from Nick_N..... works for me. Also see the the note at the end concerning Nvidia Inspector VIDEO DRIVERS: CRITICAL Nvidia video drivers must be installed using the CLEAN INSTALL selection accessed through the ADVANCED INSTALLATION option of the driver installation. The following procedure is exactly how users should install a video driver upgrade. Please remember this outline for any future video driver installations: Obtain the driver from the Nvidia Driver support website. NOTE: DO NOT USE the Windows Device Manager to uninstall any Nvidia driver.. Both Nvidia and Microsoft have confirmed that will NOT WORK and leave a system improperly updated. Also, DO NOT USE driver 'sweeper' or 'cleaner' programs!. Check the C:\ drive for a directory named C:\Nvidia, if it is there, DELETE IT before uninstalling the driver from Windows. DO NOT MANUALLY DELETE ANY OTHER NVIDIA DIRECTORY ON YOUR SYSTEM ONLY THE C:\Nvidia DIRECTORY IF IT IS FOUND. NOTE: It is important to make sure to get rid of any older drivers on the system so you can successfully flush and install a new driver without issues. If for some reason a old Nvidia driver reinstalls after uninstalling one from Windows, remove that driver as well before continuing. The default Microsoft "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" driver is NOT an issue if it happens to install, simply continue as outlined. Go to Programs and Features. Select the: "NVIDIA Graphics Driver <version>" and uninstall it from Windows. Leave the rest of the items in the list alone... Then reboot the computer. You must reboot your system when directed by these instructions even if the system does not request a reboot! Run the driver installer. After the driver decompresses to the C:\NVIDIA directory and when the driver installer starts, agree to the terms and then do the following a. Select the CUSTOM (ADVANCED) INSTALL and click NEXT b. Place a check in the ‘Perform a Clean Install” box c. If you do not use the following 3D vision drivers for a special 3D LCD monitor and 3D glasses, UNCHECK them in the list that appears in the box: *3D vision controller *3D vision Driver - The first two items are for a 3D LCD monitor only and not needed unless you use a 3D monitor with 3D glasses *Nvidia Update - This will constantly check for updates and install them without your knowledge. Do not install this. *Nvidia GeForce Experience - This is a new feature that incorporates Nvidia Update. Its the same update bloatware. Do not install this. Click NEXT. The driver may do one of two things.. fully install the selections, OR, it may request a reboot before running the driver installer. Follow the directions. In either case, once the driver has installed then reboot regardless of if a Windows reboot is requested or not. Nvidia has corrected their installers so no 3rd party driver ‘flush’ program is needed, and, you should NEVER use any kind of driver flush program in the future with the latest Nvidia video drivers. Only use the defined method above to uninstall/reinstall or update a Nvidia video driver. d. Last, you can delete the directory C:\NVIDIA as it is no longer needed. BE VERY AWARE: That after any video driver upgrade or installation that the software Nvidia Inspector, which is used to properly configure Nvidia video drivers for Flight Simulator use, must be restored with the proper settings and then verified before launching FSX with the new drivers installed. I outline the use of this product here: http://www.simforums.com/forums/drivers-nv-inspector-fsxcfg-complete-guide_topic36586.html

Is 5.4c working for you in prepar3d v2.1. If so, can I install without using EMT? Thanks for your reply.

That's good to know. I tried the iceland demo a few weeks ago, and was surprised to see three install options: FSX Prepar3D Prepar3D Version 2
