Also check if your audio driver is forcing some specific sample rate, 192 KHz for example. I had audio crackling when my Asus Xonar audio driver was forcing 192 KHz sample rate AND FSRealistic was enabled. When I did set the sample rate to 48 KHz the crackling stopped.

I don't think it's a graphics card issue, your card is pretty standard. As for FSX itself, do you have the boxed or the Steam version? What is the error message that you are getting?

I assume you use the DX10 fixer. Make sure you use the 32bit dll and rename it to d3d9.dll instead of dxgi.dll. It's not supposed to work this way for DX10, but it does. Happy camper. :smile:

I never had any luck with either SweetFX or ENB. Constant CTDs with both of them. And then I discovered ReShade. With MasterEffect ReBorn config I can get whatever ENB or SweetFX offered without a single CTD, plus on-the-fly :smile: changes.

IMO something that needs serious overhaul in FSX engine is helicopter flight dynamics. Helicopters in FSX behave totally unrealistic and only external code can save the day, which is the case with the Dodosim 206, the Aerosoft Huey and HTR (Helicopter Total Realism) module. As incomplete XPlane 10 feels in various areas, its helicopter flight dynamics are a dream come true. Coupled with some really great 3rd party models that exploit XPlane's potential to the max, there is simply no comparison in the helicopter department. I hope DTG moves in the right direction and enhances flight dynamics, especially for helicopters.

For many years I had been sticking with DX9, mainly due to better looking water. I had repeatedly tried ENB and SweetFX but both gave CTDs which totally ruined FSX for me. This was a no-go so I reverted to using just Shade, which didn't give the contrast and palette changes I wanted though. Sometime ago I heard about ReShade. Installed it along with MasterEffect ReBorn real-time effects and after some tinkering I was a very happy camper! No CTDs and great bloom, contrast and color palette control. Later I made the switch to DX10 using Steve's fixer. I continue to use ReShade with MasterEffect ReBorn along with Shade. Never had better looking water with wind dependent waves, and with palette contrast and coloring that rivals even X-Plane. Note however that the final outcome mainly depends on the ReShade configuration. It can make or break FSX looks.

After testing with the world-models downloaded from your link the error is gone! Thank you! Another issue now :smile: : The texture used on the roofs of some buildings is a flickering 'tv static' or 'tv snow' effect that can be seen through aircraft. Here is a screenshot in Bodo (ENBO). Besides these minor issues, I have to point out that this is probably the most realistic country-wide scenery I have ever seen in X-Plane. Thank you Tony!

Affirmative Tony, I have the world-models-0.7.6.tar.bz2. I am re-downloading just to be sure.

Ok, I am probably doing something wrong but I get constantly the following errors with the alpha 2 release: 0:00:07.312 I/FLT: Init dat_p0 type:loc_tak apt:ENBO rwy:07 0:00:07.312 E/SCN: Failed to

I also use this combination to get what I regard as the most acceptable and performance friendly weather generation currently for X-Plane.

Tony, I can't thank you enough for this decision I don't have the disk space and energy to hunt for available photoscenery for every region want to fly, and I, personally, prefer the sharp default textures to the relatively blurry photoscenery. I have the impression that this is the case now for the majority of X-Plane users. Your decision acknowledges that and makes this kind of scenery a god-sent gift for us. Regarding world2xplane, another conflict I had found for the non photoscenery users, was the bush-lines that defined real-world terrain patches, but appeared out of space without photoscenery.

Or you can use the following modification which makes the default Beaver amphibian (that is with phantom wheels): http://forum.mistymoorings.com/index.php?topic=245.msg1651#msg1651

Ryan, Dreamfoil are actively working on an update for the AS350 that will address the control issues, by re-coding the stability augmentation to be compatible with the latest XP versions. In the meanwhile, open the Plane-Maker, go to 'Expert' -> 'VTOL or Helo Controls' and in the 'Extra Inputs for Props' tab change 'PITCH then ROLL cyclic' to 10.0 and 03.0 (defaults are 15.0 and 07.0 IIRC). You can change these values to whatever suits you best. Problem solved!

He he, incidentally an amazing Beaver has just been released for X-Plane: http://store.x-plane.org/DHC-2-Beaver_p_395.html#tab-1 It's a sign, it's a sign!!

I was ready to write the same thing! I tried P3D v2.4 and wasn't impressed at all, sorry.
