I'm not having any luck, when I search for the Delta repaint for the Flight 1 Super 80 N908DL I keep finding it for FSX. In the readme it says it was converted over by permission from Jeff Trozzo's FS9 version which can be found here: http://www.fs-gs.com/repaints/repaints.html When I attempt to access that link it cannot find that site anymore. Can someone help me on this? I'm looking for the FS9 version of the Delta N908DL repaint of the Flight1 Super 80. Thank you.

Can someone help me? I downloaded the iFly 747 from flightsim.com and it loads up just fine. I start FS9 and get the plane running at the gates, then about 2-3 mins in the entire Sim locks up on me. There is nothing I can do but go to task manager and shut down FS9.

yes running both monitors from same card, main screen is connected HDMI, 2nd monitor connected VGA.

Agree with the other posters, I actually started w/ the PMDG 737 series on FS9 and then later purchased the QW 757 (which works in both FS9 & FSX, which is a HUGE plus in my book!). The QW FMC is not as detailed as the PMDG 737 but you still have to set things to get your flight going. The tutorials will walk you through it and once you've completed a couple of flights it's very simple to use. The QW 757 is also a very beautiful plane, the textures are crisp and another nice thing is it comes with a texture installer. The newer PMDG NGX has a similar program whereas the older PMDG 737 you have to manually edit the aircraft.cfg file, copy/paste the textures..etc...etc...the program to actually add the textures is nice, you just click on the livery you want to install and it does the work for you. This is good for me, less user error. B) I also have to say their customer service is great. Most payware sites are good, but I have experience with QW's I purchased a new machine and had lost my activation codes when I went to reinstall the planes (FS9 & FSX versions) I contacted their customer service they looked me up via my email used to purchase the product and sent me my activation codes. It was a very quick response, so +1 for their customer service. I would say the QW 757 is one of the better payware add-ons. Happy Flying, Gus

I recently added a 2nd monitor to my FS machine. I wanted to be able to un-dock and drag the GPS and other windows over to the 2nd monitor. Everything works fine until I create a 2nd view. I like to have the "top-down" view so I can see where I'm going while taxiing around an airport. When I open this 2nd window and then un-dock it, drag it to my 2nd monitor strange things will happen. I'm thinking it might have to do with too much work for my graphics card but not sure. Hopefully someone will have tips/suggestions. When I open this top-down view and drag it to the 2nd monitor textures will flash, bounce....I'm not 100% how to describe it. If I'm sitting at the GA parking for example looking out the VC the building textures or things off in the distance will look like they are flashing sticks or jumbled up pieces of paper....if I go to the spot view my plane will do this, flashing, bouncing, kinda looks like a star but then flickers back to the plane, it's hard to describe. Once I close this top-down view everything turns back to normal. Any ideas? Thanks.

I agree, I use Rex 2.0 Overdrive on FSX and Rex Overdrive for FS9 and both load the weather in under 15-20 seconds. I read all the time where people complain it takes to long for the weather to load. I would say it takes just as long to load a webstie for real world weather, nothing loads in 1 second, but REX's weather loads fast in my opinion.

Agreed, it would be nice if they gave some sort of a release eta. I've been checking the Real Air website since Feb of 2012, I check back every month or 2 and it still says "coming soon"... Bases on their other products, it should be GREAT when it is released. :good:

I guess my pictures were too big... no harm done, I was agreeing with you for some reason my water only seems to look like that around KHQM, not sure if it's something to do w/ the freeware Orbx KHQM addon or not. When I fly in the rest of the PNW areas my water doesn't do that. Who knows?

I'm not sure if this paint by number is only at certain airports. I'm flying KBFI-KHQM now and flying over lakes and rivers the water looks amazing...will post screen shot after landing. EDIT:

I don't have the light bloom checked on my settings. I'm not 100% sure what good it does. I do know I have my frames locked on 30. When I have light bloom checked I get around 15fps, when I have it unchecked I get a pretty constant 29.1. So for me it stays unchecked.

Thank you sir, the coolest thing is, which the pictures don't show are the waves rolling into the shore. In the still pictures they look more like lines or darker/lighter areas but when I'm flying you can see the actual waves! When I was doing my traffic pattern I was at 1300' so I was pretty close to the water and it still looks awesome to me.

Wow, that was a workout, probably not for a PC behind the scenes guy like you but I was worried for a min. I looked in my scenery/world/scenery folder like you suggested and all sorts of things were OFF. I opened my FTX central, then pretty much when one by one and enable the AI traffic (turned it back on) for each of my sceneries. I opened up FSX and loaded up at KHQM, the AI traffic was back to normal but the elevation was all fubar, i.e. the taxiways and rwy were all messed up. I went back to the scenery/world/scenery folder and sure enough all my elevation changes were also set to OFF. I didn't want to manually change them back so I re-ran the PNW.005 patch. This fixed everything back to normal. I tell you what, that GA AI might be nice, but if you would rather use DX10 it sure can throw a fly in the ointment. Now that everything is back to normal I tried messing w/ the water some more. From the same FSWC site I downloaded the SHD Wave Animation for DX10. http://www.strikings...click.php?id=20 Then I raised my water to 2.X High in the scenery settings of FSX (the highest, farthest right it would go). It looks pretty damn impressive. I have my fps locked on 30, when I have the water set to 2.x Low I get around 29.1-30, when I moved it to 2.x Mid I would get 26-29 fps, then I moved it all the way to 2.X High and I get 22-26fps. Check this out! This is using the SHD Wave Animation for DX10 from FSWC (link above) and water settings set to 2.X High. B) P.S. I'm also LOVING the A2A Shockwave lights!

Ah ok, I was thinking on it and was wondering if somehow UT2 or the AI pulls models from what I have loaded. Then if some of my planes i.e Aussim Piper Warrior, some Carenado models that are FS9/FSX not Full FSX. Should I remove those planes to keep the AI from attempting to use them? Does it even do what I'm suggesting? In reading their post I can't see where they say it's DX10 compatible or not so I guess we should assume it's not? Would be sweet if it was DX10 compatible. http://www.orbxsyste...c-100-released/ EDIT: ok read the rest of the pages from the link above, I see where you've already asked them if it's DX10 compatible. So my question is, if we want to turn the DX9 Orbx NA GA traffic OFF do we just run the FTX AI Control Panel and "uncheck" all the options? Just wondering how to make the default files come back? P.S. I unchecked all the boxes in the FTX AI Control Panel, then loaded up FSX, still have greyed out AI traffic. Any suggestions? EDIT: very strange, when I open my FTX AI Control Panel the box for "FSX Default Traffic" is greyed out, I cannot put a check-mark there. Page 4 of 14 in the FTX NA GA AI Traffic User Guide.pdf shows this same page but there "FSX Default Traffic" box looks as though you would be able to check/un-check it.

Examples of improvement: Old water picture using REX 2.0 New water textures with FSWC Lite using the FSWC+DX10 option: Thank you Paul for the heads up on the FSWC Lite free download. :Applause:

Question sir, I added this line to my .cfg file: [scenery] MAX_ASYNC_BATCHING_JOBS=3 I also changed mine from 80 to 100 to match this: [Display] TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=100 (mine) I added: HIGHMEMFIX=1 to the [GRAPHICS] section. Everything else I had already set in the .cfg file. I downloaded and ran the FSWC:Lite, it backed-up my original files and then I selected the custom FSWC+DX10 option. The water looks AMAZING! I was previously using REX 2.0 textures for everything so I assume that included the water. I'm mainly flying around KHQM as that is my home base for AirHauler in my C172 (career mode). Now I can see depth in the water, sandbars, waves, all sorts of awesome stuff. My question is, when I load up at KHQM prior to making the above changes it would show some AI traffic (I have the Orbx NA AI traffic loaded) it would show different planes parked with me a the GA parking, it would show all their textures. Now when I load up after making the above changes it shows all the planes except 2 properly. Both now have greyed out textures. One looks like a Cessna 177 the other looks like a Cessna 310. Would this have anything to do with these recent changes I made to the .cfg file or is it that FSX is just now loading these planes randomly and these happen to be planes I have on my HD that are not DX-10 compatible? They look like planes I have that do not work with DX-10 (where the textures are greyed out). The other AI planes are working properly, I see them as normal.

SWEET! I'm just glad someone else tried it, I was really impressed with how it improved my night AI traffic. :yahoo:

This one looks great from Alabeo, the Waco YMF5 http://www.alabeo.co...oduct&correl=80 it would be great for flying circuits.

I was missing the file as well and didn't see this post so I just re-ran the UT2 installer and it put everything right back where it should be. On a side note, if you have A2A shockwave lights and UT2 this is a great set of files you can edit the AI aircraft.cfg files. It takes a few mins since there is no auto-installer but I just made sure to make a backup of the original prior to editing them. http://www.bleedair.de/ultimate-traffic-2-fsx.html It's really cool now, prior to doing this I'd see really bright landing lights on my UT2 AI traffic, now I see their strobes and red/green nav lights plus their landing lights. Makes the game look even better! :Party:

Thank you sir, works great!

Since I'm having issues w/ the Flight1 Cessna and DX-10 I would like to try and make a plane work. My questions are, which planes are best to try and alter and will still work in DX-10. I read online about adding gauges to the Carenado C172 but it can be difficult since you can't get below the base texture for the main panel. Any thoughts on this? After reading about the Carenado C172 issues with attempting to add gauges, I was lead to the Carenado C182Q and the C182 II RG. From what I read they are much easier to work on and allow you to add/edit more on the panel.cfgs. Any thoughts? I would like to purchase either Simflyer or Reality XP gauges to do these upgrades. Can I have some feedback on which would be better/worse easier to work with etc...and most important which ones work WITH DX-10. If anyone has done this already would you be willing to help me out, possible share a panel.cfg and let me know which gauges you purchased so I can do the same. Thank you gents.

I added this garmin 296 from SimFlyer, it's freeware now. Other than that sorry not much help. http://simtube.com/video/2260/SimFlyer-Garmin-GPS-296-Now-FREEWARE

? I love the Flight1 C172R for FS9. I read on their site that if I download the FSX installer I can use my product validation key to install the 172R into FSX. So I tried, the installer works fine, plane is loaded in FSX but it's all greyed out, no textures. I read on their support pages and find this: http://www.flight1.c...w.asp?page=dx10 Morale of their story is, if I have DX10 preview checked the Flight1 C172R won't work properly. They say if I uncheck the preview box then their plane will work in FSX. If I uncheck this box I'll have to restart FSX right? Doing so will turn off DX10 right? Is there a work around to make this awesome plane work with DX10? Thanks. Gus P.S. The main reason (besides the Flight1 C172R is a great model of the Cessna) is I want to use my A2A shockwave lights with a Cessna 172. I have them loaded for the default FSX 172 but the problem there is no taxi/landing light difference. In reading on that I find FSX did not model a taxi light, so I get nice lights with A2A shockwave and the default FSX C172 but the taxi light does not work. The taxi light switch does nothing, if I turn on the landing light switch both lights light up, but it's super bright, not cool for taxiing. Does anyone know of a C172 for FSX that models the taxi AND landing lights? I'm assuming Flight1 C172R does, BUT it doesn't work with DX10 Preview checked. :mad: I need to look more into the Carenado C172, the only thing that worries me there is the lack of the AP panel and IFR gauges, it seems from the screen shots its more of a VFR only plane, or atleast it doesn't look as those the OBS1 has G/S and Loc, only Loc. I've been waiting for a long for Real Air to release their version of the C172 for FSX, it's been "coming soon" for a LONG time.

Thank you Paul so much for the help and your time. Thank you sir, Gus

Ok, I right-clicked "first" and "second" and saved them, then put them in the C:\Gus_Julie\My Documents\AlacrityPC Profile and they show up. My next question is, I do not have TrackIR so do I need the 2nd one you listed? Or can I just run the first one the "CMD.profile" and then start FSX?

Hello PJ, Ok, thanks for the info. Yes I have teamspeak and can meet tonight if you can, that would be great. When I click on your "first" and "second" links they open in another browser, how do I create these files as profiles? When I look in my computer I have this: C:\Users\Gus_Julie\Documents\AlacrityPC Profiles In that folder I have: Default Vista Profile Default XP Profile FSX FSX.profile The first 3 have an AlacrityPC icon the 4th (FSX.profile) is a text document.
