APU RUNNING on the EICAS should tell you.

Whats up with people wanting to fly over-dirty and unmaintained aircraft?

Improper weather combined with poor airmanship. Engine indications are redlining, fuel config messages, flying and climbing in buffet speeds and high OAT. Thatswhy you are having those problems. As suggested try to upgrade your FSUPIC and if possible, weather engine.

And if you are sceptical to buy then just get SP1 first and try it out. You dont need 300ER for SP1.

Did this issue start for you two weeks back or you only noticed it then? It looks like you are blocked out by their latest network security upgrade, so if you hold valid licence, I suggest you open ticket with HiFi.

Until next time you update your airac.

I think he means holding points on the STAR. You can can cancel them by line selecting the waypoint after the hold and once its on the scrachpad, line select it to where "HOLD AT" is. It will cancel the hold and take you straight to next waypoint. Same can be done with missed approach holds and every other waypoint.

Setting texture max load to 4096 doesnt introduce any changes, still looks the same.

Ok, here are some better pictures (click to enlarge). It is especially pronounced on the second picture on ECL control touchpad and aisle. Seems like flood light is trying to apply some light on to these objects but it draws some weird grid not smooth blending.

Hey guys, thanks for answers. Somewhy pictures are small, yes, so Ill try to get full resolution pictures up soon. Thanks for your answers.

Hi. Im pretty sure that there is something wrong with my 777 as I have asked others and they seem not do report the issue. Some surfaces get very weird when flood light is applied. Help/advice very much appreciated. See attached pictures. http://i1144.photobucket.com/albums/o490/raimoingland/2013-9-21_23-18-26-532_zpsa901bdc9.png http://i1144.photobucket.com/albums/o490/raimoingland/2013-9-23_1-10-35-476_zps13ced5d8.png http://i1144.photobucket.com/albums/o490/raimoingland/2013-9-23_1-10-48-309_zpsa5b909d0.png

Cost index is company related and varies largely, sometimes even depending on route and flight stage. I use 100 for my BAW flights as this is what they use.

VAS is exactly the reason I would like to keep it at 1024 for 777. The question still remains though, do I lose any fidelity?

Hello, I'd like to know is there anything to lose if my texture size is set to 1024? Does PMDG 777 use 4096 textures and how much fidelity will I lose using 1024 textures? Thank you

nicoma, could you please link full article from TechNet. EDIT: disregard

Turning off live tiles didnt make much sense anyway. We'll just have to wait.

What a pathetic tool you are, Nick. For a long time I thought that you have some good knowledge, and you do (I guess), but your word doesnt mean s**t to me anymore and I wont use any of your guides and products anymore, just because you act like a kid and gone completely nuts. Go see a therapyst or come up with a better product that people will buy, because face it, your GEX is done.

Point taken, you are correct. But competition is good for business, especially for paying customers. I dont think bashing someone else's work is a right thing to do. Yes I get it that FTXG and openLC might render other texture packs useless, but as long and people are happy with FTXG they dont need GEX anymore.

A bit pathetic.

Well ofcourse its related to win8, didnt you read my post? Its how FSX communicates with directx and controller management. In win8 controller management is different but it doesnt mean its completely broken. FS9 and and lots of other games/sims work just fine. Its FSX and few others that are coded in the way that was suitable for previous OSs but are having problem with new controller managemen in win8.

Thing is that how windows 8 handles controllers is different from win7. There are many cooperative layers for controllers and fsx is using controllers in foreground mode which will release controllers when focus is shifted.

Just a plain install like you do on win7 and others, no special tweaking needed. Aircraft preview in selection screen is indeed blank but thats about it and it doesnt really bother me. Havent tried it on w8.1 but it works well on w8.0.

FS9 runs on Win8 very well widouth a single controller disconnects.

Have anyone tried windows 8.1 yet? Any improvements?

Guess its just something that we cant fix by ourselves. MS needs to act and do it now.
