Ok, let me add this: she also still seems to consider me attractive. 😄 *this topic was moved to "hardware issues"*

@ charliearon I have a laptop and a pretty attractive girlfriend so....nope. 😄 @ CB_Pilot well, when I try to do that the screen just stays black. The only way out is the windows key or CTRL, ALT and DEL. I just updated my graphics driver, lets see....

Hello, id like to know if anyone else has suggestions on dealing with another issue I have: after longer flights, usually before or during approach, my FSX has a tendency to either hang for 1-3 minutes, or become completely unresponsive. I can still hear the sound and switch to the task manager, but I cannot access any menus and the only solution is to kill FSX in the TM. CPU usage is shown at 100% on the cores I assigned FSX to (3-8) also VAS is not reaching any limits, but even if I wait there is nothing happening anymore. A bit of system information: AMD 8350 @ 4,4 Ghz 16 GB RAM Gainward Phantom 970, 4GB Win7 64bit FSX Acceleration installed on Samsung 1TB SSD. No tweaks in FSX.cfg except Highmemfix, Affinitymask and PoolSize=0. I suspect something sends my CPU into a calculation loop, but I have no clue what exactly that process could be.

Yes, i was using the phone activation now, after trying again, since on my first attempt the number seemed to be dead. Works now, thx.

I dont want to reinstall anything here, the whole purpose of using partition wizard was to keep my installation as it is and get it to SSD, this is supposed to be my final setup before FS2020 gets released.

Hello, I hope I dont get swatted for asking that: I recently migrated my FSX installation to an SSD using Partition Wizard and now FSX asks me to reactivate. After 7 years with that installation I just dont have the booklet anymore. Are we really still required to take the re-activation dialogue so seriously that I need to buy another copy now in some virtual junkyard to be able to run FSX again?

Hello guys, I have been trying to get my FSX (with DX10 fixer) more stable for the time being until FS2020 shows up. 😉 And I am trying to find the issue for random c000005 crashes that happen especially when switching menus, or when an addon does something in an external module. The faulting module is random as well and depends what is currently running in the sim.

Any ideas would be highly appreciated.

Not for me, OCing via multiplier doesnt go anywhere beyond 4,1 Ghz without causing cores in prime95 to fail. (missing Voltage) or the machine to freeze during testing. I blame the MoBo for this though, as temps are around 45 Degrees when benchmarked.... EDIT: i actually got back to using the 965, Iearned something about the settings getting it to 4,2 Ghz and the 8350 cant nearly compete performance-wise in FSX. Its going to be on ebay soon and ill just save for the big upgrade.

Hello everyone, first, I know the hardware I am talking about here is older, but it serves my purpose and with FS2020 around the corner, I still to FSX and AMD to save money, no matter how many people say "get intel". I was running a 965BE with zalman water cooling at 4,1 Ghz in stock voltage for almost 8 years now and it handled FSX pretty well, although especially with ORBX scenery I was sometimes getting blurry textures. Since I had the opportunity to get my hands on an FX8350, I installed it in my system, using 254 as affinity mask. Also, that CPU runs at the same speed as my old CPU, but by default. So i hoped to get the same performance but at much lower temperatures. So I dont know if this is me, but I have the impression that in heavy load areas like ORBX SoCal, using a complex Addon plane, my frames drop to like 1 - 3, something that didnt happen to me using the 965 OC'ed to the same speed. (Flaming prevention: I know that FPS is supposed to drop in such scenarios, but the sim gets unplayable and starts reminding me in my first tries back in 2008.) I am running Win7 64bit, 16 Gigs of DDR3 1600 RAM. My suspicion is that I need to try other AM settings in the FSX.cfg. Anyone has an Idea?

Hello guys, I have a problem with the spanair livery downloaded from this thread. The "American" letters are bleeding through above the "Spanair". I dont know where else to ask, am I doing something wrong with the installation? regards

Hello everyone, the question isn't as obvious as the title may imply. My Phenom 2 X4 975 was an insanely lucky chip. Its been overclocked for 6 years at stock voltage and runs 4,2 Ghz 100% stable. I love it, but time goes on and the power consumption as well as the heat radiation of the chip is a bit on the high side for todays standards. Also, i suffer from the typical performance shortages that AMD systems show with FSX addons like the Aerosoft Airbus. Now i have an opportunity to upgrade to a 6700k at a low price, since I basically would need a new MoBo and new RAM as well. That the 6700k would completely outperform the stock 975 is out of question, but how much would the difference in FSX be with regards to the overclock? Any experiences on that? I am a bit on a budget with my setup. ;)

Anyone else found Putin yet? ;)

Kidding ;)

If your intent was to show off what a badass life you live, it worked. :P

That schouldnt be happening on a flight with a C172. Also, as far as i know this is a feature of FSUIPC. Is it installed?

Yesterday I flew into that airport at night and while it looks better in general, the runway lights are missing. I can see the PAPI but not the runway itself, which makes visual approaches kind of risky. ;) taxiway lights work fine though....using steves fixer and converted "light effects only". Any ideas?

OK, checked on that, but no luck. I disabled everything for boot except the drive where my OS is on, but still no changes. Funny thing is, that as soon as I connect the problem HDD to my PC while BIOS settings are open (with the USB adapter) the machine freezes.

Yes I swapped cables with the other HDDs in my PC without any difference, it did always work, however, when I removed the power cable from the problem HDD, shutting it down. About BIOS I cant really tell you because when I try to boot with the problem HDD connected, either USB or SATA, I cant even access the boot menu anymore because it freezes even before that.

Yes, thats how the problem arised. ;) So far, i made the following combinations: SATA and PC power supply, connected on startup: fail SATA and Adapter power supply, connected on startup: fail USB and Adapter power supply, connected on startup: fail USB connected when machine is already running: success. Do you mean i should try to plug it into SATA while the PC is on?

I recently got an issue with the HDD my FSX is stored on (saving it is crucial, of course ;) ), a Seagate barracuda 500GB. Whenever it is connected to the PC, the machine gets stuck at the BIOS boot screen. When I disconnect it from the motherboard, the PC boots normally. Also the HDD sounds as usual. I used an adapter device that allows mounting internal HDDs as USB drives and as soon as I do that when my Windows is already booted up, the HDD is recognized and fully accessible, but, of course, at a reduced speed. With the USB connectors of the HDD adapter plugged in while powering up the PC, the problem is exactly the same and the boot process gets stuck. Does anyone have an idea how to fix that, befor I buy a new HDD and simply clone my FSX partition on it?

No, I wasn't. I can still log in to my user account and download all the products I was buying from them in a normal way. If I was PMDG and after pirates the brutal way they usually are, i would block the suspected pirates user account, but not use a diffuse method of MAC Adress tracking to block access to their site. ;) EDIT: just updated my firefox and now everything is back to normal. Thanks. :)

I just found out that I can access the site from my laptop but not from the PC I have my simulator on.

Is the PMDG site up for you guys? I wanted to update my 777 yesterday, uninstalled the old version and now I cant reach PMDGs site anymore. It just shows a white screen without any error message. :(

I actually do that a lot. I bring a 777 up in the air on a 10 hour flight and go to sleep, or to work, or go out, or whatever. I wont jump anywhere since I use fspassengers. Sometimes I might look on my PC to see if everything is alright, look where i am currently located or just enjoy beautiful scenery...and land again much later, being thankful for the "pause on ToD" function sometimes. Why should people not do that? I will be honest: I am bored af as a passenger on my real life long haul flights.

I recently downloaded and installed Felis' Antonov AN-24RV and since then I am trying to get the hang out of its systems. https://www.avsimrus.com/f/fsx-aircrafts-79/an-24rv-dlya-fsx-60784.html At Sim Outhouse they have an english cockpit translation available: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php/103846-New-FSX-Native-Complex-Aircraft-Antonov-An-24RV unfortunately new users are not allowed to post over there, which is why I do it here: - Does anyone know how to get the autopilot to work? It doesnt seem to change anything when being activated. - Is trimming working for you? - How to make the GPU truck disappear once I used it? - The startup tutorials for the xplane version on youtube dont match with the behavior of the FSX plane, I still cant get the engines started without using ctrl + E. So any experience on that bird? Visuals and sounds are already impressive. ;)
