Hi TurboTomato, France? Scenerybox Business class 4m/pixel for the whole country + more detailed individual areas like Paris region and Côte d' Azur from FranceVFR -> www.scenerybox.com + www.francevfr.com (also take a look on f-bmpl.com for freeware autogen add-ons for different photosceneries in Europe) Denmark? Look for Denmark X on simmarket, but very low quality I'm afraid Italy? Not much available I'm afraid. Since two weeks I've started to use FSEarthtiles, a nice little tool to create your own photoscenery. Takes a bit of practice, but if you have some spare time you can get very nice results with it. Kind regards, Nico

Hi, Could someone fill me in on the built in audio checklist/crew message feature? Is it any good, does it come with different accents? Thanks! Kind regards, Nico

Hi guys, Since I don't have the time to leave my flightsim running for hours on a long haul 777 flight, I would like to spread the flight over a few blocks of about 2 or 3 houres. (If only that would be possible in real life eh captains? ^_^ ) Now, I understand that the complete system status of the aircraft itself (including FMC?) can be saved. As for atc, I use PFE which also has a save function. But what about weather? I use ASE of FSX built in weather. Is there a possibility to save a weather status for a whole flightplan, so my fuel calculations don't get messed up? How do you guys do this? Thanks for any advice! Kind regards, Nico

Hi guys, Thanks for the help. Definately looks like my CPU is running too hot and Speedstep kicking in. I opened the laptop and cleaned out the dust. Didn't know that in 6 months time the interior of my laptop could look like the Adam's family mansion :-) Anyway, temps are a bit lower now, and with Throttlestop tool I can keep my frames at 25 - 30. Will still have to look for a decent laptop cooling stand of some sort. Oh, and thanks for the advice regarding my fsx.cfg. I'll certainly try your tips Jim. As for my system being to weak for FSX I tend to disagree. Before this heating problem it ran just fine using orbx add-on scenery and airports in the PMDG 737 NGX. Because 25 - 30 fps gives me a smooth experience. Kind regards, Nico

Hi all, Since a couple of days I have a problem which virtually makes my FSX unusable. When starting up a flight at the gate in a default aircraft at a default airport, I usually have between 20 - 30 fps (fps internally limited to 30). After +- 30 seconds at the gate, my fps drops to about 2 or 3 fps for about 5 to 10 seconds after which it gets back to normal. I first noticed this after installing MegasceneryX california. So what have I tried to solve this? -external fps limiter -lowering settings (scenery, weather, traffic etc.) -rebuilding a new fsx.cfg file (I had the fsx.cfg tweaked by the Bojote tool, and this used to work great) -install new GPU drivers + check GPU te;ps with NVidia inspector (temps remain normal) -reinstall fsx + service packs, but even without add-ons the issue reoccurs -clean install of Windows 7 last weekend all without resolving the problem. Now, tonight I noticed something weird. I ran Windows 7 performance monitor together with FSX. During periods of normal FPS, my max cpu frequency is about 117% (probably due to built in Turbo Boost). When the fps drop, max cpu frequency shrinks to 33%. What could be the cause of this? A quick google search ordered me to check my laptops power mgmt settings, but they are put to max performance. My laptop is always plugged in when playing FSX. To be complete, I give you my laptop settings: i7 2760QM CPU @ 2.4Ghz 8GB of RAM Geforce GTX 570M 1GB Thanks for any advice, Kind Regards, Nico Stroobants My FSX.cfg: [RWW_WEATHER_MAP] SHOW_AIRPORTS=0

Hi Gerard, Thanks for the effort. I downloaded the files, but don't know how to install them. I only have scenery folders inside? Kind regards

Hi,After a lot of forum browsing, finally decided to "dump" my old Dell Inspiron 530 desktop and buy me a "gaming" laptop.There were different factors why I had to go for a laptop, though much against everyones advice. I`ll write down my specs here for anyone looking for a notebook which handles FSX pretty well.This was price/quality, my nr 1 choice:BTO X-Book 15M39 (BTO stands for "built-to-order")15,6 inch full led non-glarei7 2760QM processor (2.40Ghz [3.1Ghz Turbo], 6mb Cache, 8 threads)nVidia GTX570M 1.5GB GDDR58GB 1600Mhz DDR3 RAM128GB Corsair Performance Pro SSD drive (which runs OS and FSX)500 GB HD 7200rpm 16mb cacheWindows 7 Home Premium 64bitsAfter configuring Windows 7, and installing FSX + service packs + ASE + REX + most of Australian Orbx scenery and AI traffic + PMDG 737, and running Bojote`s FSX.cfg config tool, I must say I`m very happy with it.At the gate at YBBN with autogen at very dense, I get between 20 and 30 FPS. More important than those numbers are the fact that everything runs very smooth and those dreadful blurries are gone. Yesterday I flew over Brisbane city at 250kts, breaking every atc rule there is, but no blurry textures at all.Only thing I`m still in doubt about, is wether hyperthreading should be active or not. Could someone please share some advice about that?Kind regards,Stroman

Hi guys, Finally after years of tweaking and tuning on my old and dusty Dell pc, I'm finally able to get decent framerates in FSX using orbx scenery and some high lavel payware aircraft. So first of all thank you for that *******!Just one thing that keeps bothering me are the dreaded blurries which appear while flying under 1500ft on final. I've just about read every thread and tried tweaking some more to the fsx.cfg I downloaded from *******' tool, but only with limited succes.Let me first describe my setup, please don't ...

Hey, thanks for the advice. The GT555M indeed uses DDR3.So I guess the decision is made then! :-)grtz,Stroman

Hi,The misses requested me to dump my dell desktop for a new laptop (less cablage in the living room :-))...Reading through a number of forums I understand that running FSX on a laptop could be tricky, but unfortunately I don't have 2000 € to spare on a top-line Alienware.So for the moment here in Belgium I have 2 rigs on my scope:First,a Comline Pro Gamer (from a local store)17,3" ( 1920 x1080 ) LED I7-2630 (2.0 ~ 2.9GHz, 1333MHz FSB, 6MB L3 cache) nVidia GTX 460 1.5 GB DDR5 8 GB DDR3 500GB 7200RPM@ 1699€ (2403,99 USD)or second,a Dell XPS 1717,3" (1600x900) WLED HDI7-2720QM (2.2 ~ 3.3Ghz)nVidia GT 555M 3GB 6 GB DDR31TB (2x500GB) 7200RPM@ 1354,05€ (1915 USD)So, from what I understand of this, the choice is between a better processor (I7 2720QM or I72630) or a better video card (nVidia GTX460 or nVidia GT 555M). Could any of you laptop gamers out there share some advice as to what is most important here. Or even, if running FSX on any of these setups could be a rewarding experience?Thanks in advance!Nico

Hi Dave,Sorry for the off topic, but I see you fly for Eastern virtual. Do you know, by any chance, a good FSX scenery for Aberdeen?Kind regards,Nico :(
