Thx for answer. But with my P8P67 mobo, i dont think I have room for two "big" GPUs with own cooler etc. - I have to check that (in that case I guess I can just use my old GTX280). I was thinking more of a very cheap basic GPU. Best Regards Bjarne Sorensen

Dear Rendi. I need a third monitor, which is why I need a second GPU. I have heard of others using a high-end GPU together with a low-cost GPU for showing 2D panels etc, so I really do not hope I need to buy 2xGTX580 :rolleyes: Best Regards Bjarne Sorensen

Hi all. I have an ASUS P8P67-M motherboard and are probably about to buy a GTX580 GPU. Now I also need another GPU for 2D panels. Anyone have a setup like this and can recommend what 2nd GPU to buy that in your experience works flawless? Best Regards Bjarne Sorensen

Hi all. Im having a problem with the RWY lights only lighting up in a certian distance from the aircraft. This means that when I do an approach the lights starts to come on when I am relatively close to the runway and then turns on one by one in front. Anyone have a solution to this problem? I haven´t noticed it before now, and I am quite sure its a new problem, but I have not made any changes to the sim for a very long time. Thank you in advance for your help. Best Regards Bjarne Sorensen

Hi Guys. Sorry for the late answer. This still puzzles me. I do set the MCP to MDA + 50 ft, and when well established on VNAV PTH after passing FAF, I try to set the MCP to MAA of 5000". Just wanted to know if I did something wrong, but it seems as the procedures are correct. If anyone had succes with this procedure, then please let me know - in that case I will know that it is not a bug in the NGX. Thanks for help! Best Regards Bjarne Sorensen

Hi all. I was trying to fly an RNAV approach into EDDK 32R. The FCTM says that you should put the MDA +50 in the MCP, and when established on VNAV PTH in the final sector (after passing FAF) and 300" below the missed approach altitude ((MAA) 5000" for EDDK 32R)), you can set the MAA in the MCP window. At FAF 32R you start the descend at 3000", so I should be able to set the MAA once descending on VNAV PTH right after the FAF. But this did not happend. When I set the MAA in the MCP the AP just went into ALT ACQ. I cant figure out what I am during wrong here...Any suggestions? Best Regards Bjarne Sorensen

Hi Guys - thanks for your replys.I just helped my friend building his new rig, and I saw the cooler he bought, which is half the price of the H100 and should be able to cool everything on the market today, so I think I will try to buy a similar cooler (mine stock cooler are just phafetic compared to his), and as he by accident bought double the RAM needed, I helped him get rid of half, so I will try some overclocking, and at a later time borrow his GTX580 to see how much more performance that will give me.Im still thinking that the 560TI would be a better buy as some "wise" people state that the 580 will only give me in the vincinity of 5% more performance - which is not alot when comparing the prices!I will probable return with some questions about overclocking, as I am extremely new to this (FS9 pilot so far, and never had the need for all that power).Again, thx for your inputs!!!Bjarne Sorensen

Hi guys.I am thinking of making some kind of upgrade to my FSX rig, but need some advise.My specs:ASUS P8P67-MI7 2600K (running 103x39 - 41 resulting in max performance just below 4.2 ghz)Nvidia GTX280 1GB GPU4gb (2x2) Hynix RAM @ 1333HDD 750GN SATA 3G @7200 RPMI am using the ASUS AI software to overclock, but have started to investigate on how to OC CPU, as other people seems to get way more out of their CPUs than I do. I found out that I need to set the Dram timing, but unfortunately there are not stated on my RAM, so in order to OC, I will need new RAM and also a better cooler is definately needed, when running Prime95 I quickly get temperatures in excess of 85 degrees (then I turn it off to avoid damage to CPU). I thinking of a Corsair H100 watercooling system.But my GPU is very old, and for "nearly" the same price of a Corsair H100 + new 2x4 GB G-skill RAM I can get a GTX560ti GPU, which is said to be 95% as good as a GTX580, so I am thinking if it would be a better upgrade, and then concentrate on the OC later.I have rather good performance in FSX I think. With PMDG B737NGX I get around 16 - 22 in taxi in at Aerosoft EHAM (bad product FPS wise!!), and 25+ FPS in climb with lots of clouds (REX 2.0 + AS2012). At FlyTampa LOWW I get 25 - 30 in taxi. In cruise I have...plenty :-) Slider are all maxed out, except for autogen (normal) and water effect (high x1 - low x2 takes alot of frames). No aviation traffic, and only limited road and water traffic.What is the advise from the gurus in here OC CPU or better GPU ... or maybe something totally different? :-)Looking forward to your inputsBest RegardsBjarne Sorensen

Hi Karim.Well, cant say anything else than buy the product! I also had at least 30% FPS increase from stock, and appx 4 - 6 fps more than if only using bojotes tweaks. But I guess it is different from rig to rig, but alot of people are getting good results with it.....Best RegardsBjarne Sorensen

Thx for reply. I agree with Kyle that it probably is the change to smoke use that created the problem - you cant have smoke without engines :-) Ok, maybe I can tweak the settings myself, o just use the emergency exit lights .Brgds Bjarne Sorensen

Hi there.Happy newyear :-)Just bought/installed MD11 on FSX. I noticed that the domelight is out when the engines are off. As soon as the engines comes alives, the cockpit lights up fine. Tried to do some searching on the problem, only to find that other have experienced the same, but all thread ends blind. Can anyone either confirm that this is a bug, or can anyone confirm that they do not have this light behavior?Best RegardsBjarne Sorensen

Hi Ron.It seems that USB display adapters are handled differently in WIN7, as everyone is having the same issues only in WIN7, and not in XP - but the problem seems to be restriced to USB videocards or USB monitors. I think the best way to add more monitors is to do like you and add a second videocard. What kind of card to you use as secondary cards - I guess it does not have to bee a top notch card.Best RegardsBjarne

HI All.Is anyone using an USB display adapter, with FSX and WIN7, for a second or maybe third monitor? I have a kensington but unfortunately it looks as it is not compatible with FSX and WIN/. So if anyone found such an adapter that is confirmed compatible, please give me a hint :-)I need to have a third monitor for FSX.Best RegardsBjarne Sorensen

Hi RonThank you for your inputs. I tried them all, but unfortunately it did not solve the problem. But im quite sure the problem lies in the video acceleration, as the monitor cannot play videos. Somtimes it can show the video for a few seconds, but then it freeezes. Im quite sure it is a WIN7 problem. I have not tried with the old drivers yet, but I doubt it will have any effect.If anyone found an USB display adapter that works with FSX and WIN7 I would like to know so I can replace my kensington.Best RegardsBjarne SorensenBest RegardsBjarne Sorensen

HI all.I have the same problem as you guys. "upgraded" to WIN7, and on the monitor I have connected to my Kensington USB display adapter connected to, the undocked panels will no longer make updates. But I also noticed that I can not play videofiles on the "usb-monitor" as I have no problems doing in XP. So either it is a WIN7 thing, or a display driver issue. I have another computer with old drivers for my GTX280, and I will try to install it on that to see if that gives any change.But if it is a WIN7 thing, and as XP 32 bit is no longer possible due to constant OOM, how about an XP with 64 bit? Could that be a solution?Best RegardsBjarne Sorensen
