    Just to inform all that my PC OS was corrupted it would seem, I ran SFC & it found some issues which it repaired okay.

     

    I did not raise a ticket, only un-installed the JS4100 again & then re-installed it okay plus addon aircrafts.

     

    All now running okay. Back using the BA, BMI & MANX variants around UK with this great aircraft.

     

    Sorry about typo with browser of course it should be bowser.

     

    Thanks to all, Mike in UK.

     

    P.S. Have tried FLIGHT it reminds me of FLIGHT UNLIMITED II with limited area coverage, happy days. Its not for me though.

     

    PC i7-970 @ 3.2G, 12G 1600MHz RAM, PALIT OcUK GTX580 3G, 250G SSD, 500G 7200 HD for files, BENQ 24" LED & 850W PSU.

    Europe UTX, GEX & scenic tech landclass. Europe freeware STRM to 76 metres & other addons, freeware airports (UK), etc. Tweaked FSX.CFG.

    If anyone can assist, please.

     

    I had to un-instal the JS4100 from my machine where the OS is WIN 7 HP 64 bit as I was having issues with the fuel load facility, so I assumed perhaps some of the files had got currupted.

     

    Where if I changed the fuel quantity it would reset itself back to 100% for some un-known reason, most strange. I did run my MS Security Essentials & Malwarebytes anti-virus (up to date) on full scans just incase, but nothing was found just in case.

     

    I used via control panel programs & features to un-instal. All okay there.

     

    Before I installed I had to remove the Instal Shield files, because if I did not then the plane would not instal correctly (files missing, etc), I had this same problem when re-installing the Aerosoft DHC-6 some time recently.

     

    Once installed I then re-placed the install shield files back in their folder.

     

    I was never asked for the product activation code number on reinstall of the JS4100 to my system.

     

    So I thought all was well, the files all seem to be there, etc. I can see the planes (JS4100) if I want to select them.

     

    When I now try to select the JS4100 aircraft it tries to load for a few seconds (around 15) then causes FSX to crash ever time, then it re-loads FSX. I have never had that before.

     

    All other FSX aircraft MS & payware I have all load okay, can any one assist, as I do miss not being able to use this great aircraft. Has anyone else had this similar problem. Could not seem to find this in forum, can't find the prop area so I placed here.

    Thanks to all simulator people for ideas on the cfg file. Sorry a bit late but had a busy summer. After letting FSX build a new fsx.cfg file from scratch I found best for my win7 64 bit OS & the XFX ATI Radeon HD 6970 2G graphics card with the screen set to1920x1080x32 (60Hz) resolution the only final tweaks I have done to the cfg file are set out below, this was after several try it & see actions with other tweaks which did not really improve much or in some cases made it worse. I found this gives me very good fps & no issues with stuttering or the like using the above ATI card. I set in the ATI CCC for the card AA @ 4x. I did have some issues with my OS in the past so I ran the system file checker routine within windows in DOS as administrator sfc /scannow this has made my OS much more stable & corrected some files which had been currupted. I have since then made sure I have all latests windows updates in place. If I run my most demanding aircraft the PMDG JS4100 I get 25-35 fps in most areas except large built up areas. Most other addon aircraft gives 45-50 fps. Shadows on ground set (I like real as I can get)Reflections on aircraft setLanding lights setAircraft self shadow set I have running for europe Flight1 GEX, UTX & Scenery Tech land class.I have also addon freeware airports & the like. So I would say to any one that the AMD grapahic card range in the HD 6*** is now very good for FSX & at about 2/3 the price some of the Nvidia GTX range. It handles AA, etc well now. I use another sim which is Railworks & have good results with this card. My PC is i7-970 (6 core) @ 3.2G not O/C, 12G RAM at 1600MHz, 256GB Crucial Real SSD C300 for OS & SIMs & a 500G 7200 drive for files. Screen is BenQ 24" LED @ 1920x1080x32. In CFG only those below used, gave me best results with the XFX HD6970 after some trials. [GRAPHICS]ForceFullScreenVSync=1 <<<<< Added [DISPLAY]TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=40 <<<<< Modified from defaultUPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT=50 <<<<< If I use 0 which is unlimited I get some very slight stutters when scrolling around inside the cockpit it seems to jump a bit with having a fixed settings it’s very smooth. Did not want to externally set FPS as some of the function keys I use were being used. [TERRAIN]TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TRESS_PER_CEL=1200 <<<<<< AddedTERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_BUILDINGS_PER_CEL=800 <<<<<< Added [JOBSCHEDULER] <<<<<<< AddedAffinityMask=1365 <<<<<<< Added To do with asking for the main 6 cores to use FSX may only be that 4 are really used though but I find it runs better for me this being 0101 0101 0101In conclusion all okay in my camp at present, now looking forward to the new MS Flight in the near future. Best RegardsM.Connolly.

    Thanks gents for some sound advice & comments with the replies.Firstly Sean I will try the idea of a new CFG after backing up this one, I have the original CFG file safely backed up incase & then perhaps go to the link provided for Bojote's FSX config tool. Not sure how the 2 entries came about for the card, I am happy to start a fresh.MrKen, not sure where I got the setting fo rthe TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=400 (can't remember where this came from but I will try lowering this value to experiment with), the Highmemtfix=1 was only that I use to get some missing graphics with the GF card so I used this, it was mentioned on the Aerosoft site some time ago. Did not need to use it with the ATI card as I get no issues with graphics in that way.Ryan, many thanks for some interesting comments on the different cards, I will try some of the changes mentioned above first, if no good I will pass on the ATI (RIP) & purchase a GTX 580. Although I have found this card very good when looking around the JS4100 cockpit very fast response (I use space bar, mouse & scroll wheel) & when going between views using F9, F10, F11 & F12 I see no appreciable delay with this method only a few mSeconds. With external slight stuttering in built up areas as my old GF9800GT 1GB card did but too a greater extent, after all this addon JS4100 aircraft is very demanding on the system, but a great model to fly. I see no problems when flying through default high detailed clouds.Regards to all from Gateway in UK

    Start with my system which I think is fairly good for FSX.PC i7-970 Hexa Core @ 3.2GB (6 actual, 6 virtual)Corsair 12GB 1600MHz CL9 DDR3ASUS P6X58D-E SKT 1366 MotherboardXFX ATI Radeon HD 6970 880MHz 2048MHz DDR5 PCI-E 2.1x16 (Driver version 11_2)256GB Crucial Real SSD C300 (For OS & FSX)500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 (For Files)Win 7 Home Premium 64 Bit (SP1)850W Coolemaster M850 PSUBENQ 24" WS LED displayFor scenery I have added UTX Europe V1.4, freeware SRTM 3 Version 2 Terrain Mesh Europe & Scenic Tech v1.1 landclass Europe, soon to add GEX Europe & have added some other minor scenery mods, e.g. detail1A few Freeware add on airports from UK2000scenery e.g. Bristol, Edinburgh, and the like etc.I seem to have issues with stuttering scenery when using the PMDG JS4100 near built up areas, down to say 15 FPS.e.g. When taking off from Bristol EGGD airport RWY 27 then looking south/port side within the cockpit towards the Mendip hills, to my surprise I get some stuttering on the scenery with the above PC setup, my old Q6600 2.4GB & 4GB RAM @ 1033 & GF9800GT its not much better on FPS near to ground level up to say 1000 feet over this type of similar area with the JS4100.I can get some times 50+ FPS when at good altitudes say 7500 feet with the JS4100.I have done tweaks to FSX.CFG (& DISPLAY.CFG by adding the card info if this makes any difference) over the years but cannot seem to get rid of this issue when using a complicated add on as the JS4100 with my latest PC setup.Have set my affinity_mask to allow all CPU cores 4095, did try 4092 so not using the first 2, etc.As you can gather I rather like flying this wonderful aircraft as its still one of the best turbo props around for FSX.Any help greatly appreciated.

    not really... the first two pictures are static.The last (the a really excited user edition) is animated, smiles and talks to you and give you good advices how to fly this beautiful aircraft! :(
    I have made a short video of the static WXR image I created to fit the default blank screen, now at v2.2. If you wish to view follow link to youtube.I whole idea of this was that not every one wants to spend additional money on addon SW, so I just did this to please myself & fill in the blank on the WXR screen.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJKTZCcwudECheers ...........................

    :( JS4100 Weather Radar Blank.Like a lot of people who bought the JS4100, there is no working WXR. So instead of buying more SW I decided to have a go of placing some thing on the blank Honeywell screen when DC power is applied. Its not as good of course as the working Radar, but its to me a lot better than flying the plane with a blank screen. See screen grab of cockpitnew.jpg.I run my system on a 19" screen, so max resolution for me is 1280x1024x32 bit, Vista 64 bit OS with a GF9800GT 1G RAM card, Q6600 2.4G quad core & 4GRAM @ 1333 MHz.You need to amend the panel folder's of the JS4100, by adding these lines to the 3 CFG files to start with. Backup original ones some where safe, just in case some thing goes wrong, etc.1.In panel.CFG & panel_HIDEF.CFG scroll down to the VC SECTION 2 & do as below. //gauge04=rxpWX500!RDR, 532, 528, 472, 331gauge04=cwxr!cwxr_bgnd, 514, 508, 522, 360 2.I have modified the panel.LODEF, but I do not use in low resolution, so have not tried fully. May need some pixel changes to the first 2 sets of numbers for x,y.//gauge04=rxpWX500!RDR, 266, 264, 236, 166gauge04=cwxr!cwxr_bgnd, 266, 264, 236, 1663.Make a folder in panel folder of JS4100, name it cwxr4.Inside this cwxr folder add 2 files scrn_bgnd.bmp & cwxr_bgnd.xml5.As it seems I can't up load the XML or BMP files.This is the code for the XML file<Gauge Name="cwxr_bgnd" Version="A"> <Image Name="scrn_bgnd.bmp" ImageSizes="600,391"/></Gauge>Make a BMP picture from paint of my pattern shown (cockpitnew.jpg) size 600x391 256 colours.Run FSX JS4100 & when you switch on either DC power switches, you will see the view as my screen grab.I am working on a moving dummy weather pattern at present, that is based on a repeated pattern, not great, but when or if I get more time, who knows. See screen grab of pattern.jpg. It works when DC power applied. scrolls from top to bottom, takes about 65 seconds then repeats.Cheers.................
