I seem to have fixed my problem by disabling Accufeel. I haven't used FSX for months and had forgotten it was there.

Having the same trouble. I don't have fsuipc installed, not the registered version anyway and my controller is mapped through FSX. It's only the 777 doing this, all my other acft still operate as normal. EDIT: My engines automagically restart without any intervention. The op says that he has to restart his.

Sorry I went on a bit of a rant... It's just that this bad ATi driver thing gets to me. Yes they had some problems with the 9800 series but that was many years ago now. In all honesty both manufacturers are as good and as bad as each other. Good job getting the Quadro playing games. B) Not many attempt that.

Hi Tim. Do we need to purchase a seperate license to use REX in P3D? The reason I ask is because atm I'm evaluating P3D and am hesitant to purchase in case I don't decide to switch.

Good explanation. I'm not sure why some people are getting upset about this. Any longterm simmer would know all about Microsofts upgrades and at $100 pop mind you. That was a lot of cash 20-30 years ago. Also the MS upgrades became predictable, the even releases were a major upgrade while the odd releases were just to add some eye candy/new aircraft. I think LM are being more than fair here, not to mention upfront about it all. It's refreshing.

I'm using a 7970 and I'm wondering about the horrible driver support. What do you mean by support? They come out with monthly updates! No driver issues here whatsoever so the 7870 will be a sound choice as it's GCN too. In fact I've been running ATi cards since Nvidia failed to support SLI with Vista and 8800GTX. In all that time (7 years) I have never encountered one problem that could be attributed to drivers. I keep hearing about these bad drivers but have never seen one. ^_^

Thank you so much for the detailed reply, I certainly didn't expect you to go that far. I'm sure you've pre-empted all my questions. I think everyone should be jumping onto this, FSX finally has a chance of being "done right." This thread has definitely allayed some of my fears of the unknown. Pete.

Downloading as I type. What is this registry hack you speak so fondly of? B) Any idea of where I may read about it?

JVW is right, I live under the Julimar STAR and we have truckloads of 777's overhead daily. You kinda lost me with your appraisal of Qantas' CEO. Anyone who shuts down an airline and leaves his passengers in the lurch for days with NO communication over an industrial dispute is a moron. No coincidence that Qantas has fallen apart under his leadership. None of the workforce want him there, morale is non-existent. I suggest that you set the lead and work for Chinese labour rates. We have families to feed. You don't like Julia?

Guys I've had this problem before and I did manage to fix it. You won't believe it but it's popped up with me again and for the life of me I can't remember the fix.I do know the cause though and it's fsx.cfg, I'm currently googling to see if I can find somewhere where I explained what to do.Anyway if you do a full reinstall take a copy of fsx.cfg and take note of the entries {PrimaryDevice} and directly underneat {VoiceDevice} because when you lose ATC these values get changed and you need to restore the original.I just can't remember what the values need to be.If someone has a clean install of fsx can they please post those values here, because that will fisx it.

If you used the SM3 mod you will have no slowdowns in clouds at all.My single 5870 rivals any 470/480 framerates I have seen. Granted without the SM3 mod it does slow down in heavy cloud but 30 seconds work fixes that.Bufferpools=0 also works well and the sheer number of stream processors ensures it won't crash.Any other games ATi well and truly beats Nvidia. The 5970 makes the 480 look silly. For the same price.

Yep the post above that said you need an nvidia card for this is wrong. Analglyph 3D will work with any card.You only need nvidia for their proprietry shutter glasses.

I downloaded AU Blue from flightsimstore but I was disappointed to see that I could only buy the 4 regions seperately at an enormous cost(downloads only.) Is it possible to purchase the extra green/gold/red versions at the discounted price?I live in the outback so downloading is my choice of delivery.EDIT: Nevermind I just found those files heavily discounted so I purchased them all along with YMML and YBBN. :)Thankyou!

Bump.Can someone tell me if I will lose my settings if I try reinstalling either SP1, SP2 or use the FSX installation repair facility?

Yup.When I was running 2 4870's a while back Crossfire worked for me once I had SP1 installed.Not the performance increase I saw with my Voodoo cards and probably FS3 or 4 back in the day when SLI first hit the scene. :( Now I'm reminiscing... :(
