  1. Hey guys, I need some help... Last week I started playing around with DX10 for the first time to see how it would run. While the visuals look a little better (I think, it's marginal) my performance has dropped. On average I'm getting around 6-7 fps LESS when using DX10 from DX9, and I cannot figure out why. This contradicts most people's claims of the improvements and benefits they've found after switching over. I've been consuming posts and guides and Youtube videos, slowly making adjustments to FSX and NI setttings one at a time, and nothing has really helped. If I create a flight in FSX and get 28-30 fps, then I load the same flight with DX10 enabled, I'll get 22-23 fps, with occasional drops to 15fps - and some hard stutters. I haven't purchased Steve's fixer yet because I want to first make sure I can actually make it run on par with FSX performance (if not better). Syetem: 15-2500k OC 4GHz, 8gb ram, GTX 560 Ti
  2. I decided I wanted to try Vatsim out for the first time recently. I downloaded Fsinn and whatever the other thing is, installed them both and watched a how-to on youtube to get things going. However, I started everything up, positioned myself at Dulles for a flight to Orlando, but the only frequency that came up and was audible was NY center. I tried a couple days later; started a flight at Montreal, loaded up Fsinn, but same thing - NY center was the only frequency. Is it possible I did something wrong or is this normal?
  3. I opened a ticket with flightbeam because my sim is now lagging quite a bit. Really hope it's an easy solution to reverse it.
  4. I just picked up Flightbeam KIAD which comes with the addon manager by virtuali. I noticed it sets up global teaks within the software and applies it to all FSX sceneries, however, I don't really want it messing with my pristine cfg. file. Is there a way to disable this?
  5. I just have a question about re-installing the 777. I bought the 777 when it came out but recently ran into performance issues with FSX that I wasn't able to resolve, and in the end I decided it was best to do a complete re-install of FSX - this isn't such a big deal because I have so few addons. So after I went through the process and everything was set up again, I installed the 777, but this time it didn't ask me to input my activation key. I read (I think in an article on PMDGs website) that if you don't completely uninstall and delete everything before a re-install of your addons you could run into problems. If I had uninstalled it correctly would it have asked me to enter the activation key again? I may sound a little paranoid, but it's is because I'm obsessed with performance, and when a loaded up the 777 for the first time on the new install it seemed a little unstable, and the second time I had a CTD. I never had a single CTD in the time I had it until now. What do you think?

  7. Just starting using enb again and it reminded me why I never stick with it. I do like the colours it brings out, but the sky is so bright I can't make out the clouds, and the cockpit is too dark. Is it possible to turn down the overall strength of the bloom settings? Which values can I experiment with in the .ini?
  8. Call me old fashioned, but I'm a sucker for good FPS. I'm having more fun in the Q4 right now :p0502:
  9. I also feel they have a lot of potential. I bought the BBS a320 and I absolutely love it. I know many people are skeptical of a paid beta, and that's completely appropriate, but I think some are being far too critical about this company without having purchased a single product from them - post PSS. To each their own. They have my attention, and the support is outstanding.
  10. Sorry, but I almost choked when I read this. The high quality photoreal textures here is nothing short of spectacular. The tire and VC shots are the best I've seen. For those that don't have the Concorde and access to the FSLabs forum, here's a link to view the pictures http://airdailyx.blo...ml#comment-form
  11. I have my screen refresh set to 1/2 which helped greatly in reducing stutters, so my fps never exceed 30. What you're saying is I should try my lock at 26?
