The spoilers should be armed.... They retract when you stand the thrust levers up

You will get the two low flaps warning unless the ground prox flap override is selected. Touch and go landings are normally flown with flap 25 or 30 and flap 20 is selected on the runway after touch down

Hi, Some of the time when I use the HUD at night as I look at a runway light or aircraft whose Nav lights are on those lights disappear. In some cases they come on and off. This only happens when the lights are in the are occupied by the green symbology. Does this happen to anyone else or is there a fix maybe something in Nvidia inspector? All the best David

Well firstly my PC although a home build was built for me by a friend and I have had numerous problems. The guys who have it now didn't do the over clocking however they have used the phrase wear more than damage and suspect that the over clocking wasn't done quite right hence my problems. Since I'd really like a PC that runs fault free I've bitten the bullet and ordered a new motherboard and processor so that my machine will match fairly closely your recommended specs for the NGX it's not costing too much since I still have all the other bits. Finally Ryan if you don't mind when I'm setting up I'll send you a PM to ask the exact update state of the NGX I have everything backed up but need to make sure I install in the right order. All the best David

Hi Guys, Some of you may remember I was having problems with my PC. It was crashing out etc and generally fialing to run. Since I know nothing about the workings of a computer I took it into my tech support guys. The bad news is that my processor has been damaged by the overclock I had on it and needs to be replaced. So it looks like I'm getting almost a new machine and a wilting credit card. Thanks again for all your suggestions and help All the best David

Hi Guys, I'm away from my PC at the moment working. When I get back I'll take a look at some of the suggestions you've made and let you know what happens. Since (as I said) I have very little skill in PC tech items I'll get my friend to look at it as well and see if he can find the issue. I'll keep you posted Thanks again David

Guys, Thanks for all your ideas and help. The system is about 18 months old and has been overclocked. It has performed flawlessly apart from a bit of overheating which I cured by changing the case to a bigger one with better cooling. I'm ashamed to admit that when it comes to PC's my knowledge and confidence of rooting around inside them is sadly lacking (real aeroplanes are a different matter!!). I've contacted a friend of mine who knows all things IT he's going to have a look remotely but tells me its probably a hardware issue as you've all suggested. Before I hand it over to him though I could try re-installing my Nvidia drivers as suggested by Jude. Does anyone think its worth trying or should I leave it too the expert??? All the best David PS as well as the BSOD's its also started locking up mid operations completely freezes mouse and everything. Don't know if that helps

Just further to my last post I've just tried to defrag my hard drive which normal takes 2 hours. The current estimate is 14 hrs I'm wondering if my hard drive is on its way out?

Hi, Sorry to gate crash the forum with a non PMDG issue but I figured that there are so many knowledgable types here you might be able to help. My PC keeps bluescreening with the message: driver_irql_not_less_or_equal. I'm running windows 7 and haven't updated any of the drivers recently. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts. All the best David

Hi All, I'm running windows 7 64 bit on and I7 920 processor which has been overclocked the 3.8ghz. So far my FSX experience has been really good as has all the other things I use the PC for (photo editing mainly). Suddenly I have started having blue screen crashes regardless of whether I'm using FSX or another programme or just surfing the internet. The message on the blue screen is: driver_irql_not_less_or_equal. Before anyone asks to my knowledge the drivers haven't changed recently. Can anyone help All the best David

Hi,ON my system every time I perform an RTO due to a V1 Cut the RTO autobrake disarms. Is this meant to happen (possibly power change over causing it).All the bestDavid

Hi, I'm getting generally quite good performance from the NGX (I'm running and I7 930 O/C to 3.8GHZ). How ever as soon as I hit the Go-Around switch on an approach my frame rates drop dramatically. Just wondered what the reason for this is and if it's being looked at by the experts. David

Thanks I'll try that

If I update my Airac Data for the NGX which has expired will it also update my Jetstream FMS??? Also how easy is it to run the update as I don't want to mess anything on my sim up. David

I'll try that. What do you reckon 8s or 8sQ for a GTX 460 1mb??
