Hi, today I started having some issues with the MD-11, where anytime I tried to load it in FSX, the sim would crash. So, I thought, let's reinstall it again (I have the CD version). Well, whenever I try to run the CD, I get a message: from User Account Control: An Admin has blocked you from running this app. The program name is setup.exe, the File origin is CD/DVD drive, and the Program location is: F:\setup.exe. I am trying to install the MD-11 in FSX with Windows 10. Before having these problems, I was using FSX with Windows 7, and a few weeks ago I switched to Windows 10. I flew the MD-11 ever since, until today... I hope someone will be able to help me out sort this problem, and let me go back to the MD-11 again... enrico Never mind, it is finally working, I can't say what the issue was, but I was finally able to install it... :smile: enrico

Say what??

Hi Bob, you may be right, I'll do the same check tonight, likely it is the version I have, as I updated my P3d right around that same period (before Christmas). Enrico

Hello, I just noticed Prepar3d has been updated, and version 3.1.2 is now available. So far, I have updated version 3.0 to v. 3.1; what happens if I pass on this update, and wait a little longer, say, until v 3.5 or 3.6? In other words, are the updates cumulative, or do I have to keep updating Prepar3d everytime a new update becomes available? Enrico

FXAA and HDR, got it! Many thanks, Kyle Enrico Lazzaroni

Hi Kyle, I just read your post, and will try to do as you say. Just an image I want to post, to show you what I mean, I hope you can view the image... https://goo.gl/photos/jXpXuLXUr7suLQ3E8

Hello, Since I have been using the NGX, I noticed the displays are not as crisp as they used to in FSX, this is very noticeable when you click for example on the ND and it pops out, compared to its image when you just look at the flight panel. One other issue: anytime a plane is flying past me, below, I keep seeing its red tag, as if my plane is transparent. I have very few flights with the NGX in P3D,and these are my first issues... If I have to post some pix just ask, but please let me know what site to use, as Image shack is telling me my free trial is over and I do not want to pay just to upload two images... Enrico

Thanks Andreas, much appreciated! Enrico

Exactly, that would have been my next question...what do we do with the original versions we already installed? Enrico

Just to be clear: I have both the 777 base package and the 300 ER extension package. On the ECommerce page, at the bottom of the page for each order, I have a link. Does that mean I have to download both products all over again, and first delete the ones I have already installed into FSX? Enrico

Hello everyone, my PMDG Operations Center just advised me there is a new update for the 777, under the ECommerce account, with the following message: "PMDG ECOMMERCE CUSTOMERS To update to this version, you must download the full installer from your account at PMDG's eCommerce website". I do not see the full installer, just a link at the bottom of the page for the 777-300 ER, and I do not understand whether that is the full installer the Operations Center is talking about, or maybe I am just dumb and I am looking at the wrong page....thanks for your support, Enrico

Hello Bert, gboz, last night I deleted my fsx.cfg file, which was of course working flawlessly but for a lower resolution. It is likely, as gboz mentions, that there was a redundant entry for the old configuration, that was creating conflicts with the new monitor. After deleting the old cfg file, I did a new flight, rebuilding the cfg file, and, so far, my fsx is flawless and fluid again. Of course, I will monitor the situation in my next flights, as it is possible I will run into some other issues, we'll see. What I still have to do, now, is configure the NVidia inspector configuration, as per NickN guide, and will proceed from there. Thank you both for your inputs, and support. Have a great day, Enrico :wink:

Hello Bert, The monitor's resolution is 1920x1080, and that is what I am running. Of course, I changed the same number under FSX settings as well. I don't get it how other users are running even bigger monitors with larger resolutions and apparently they do not experience any impact. So, what should I do? Enrico

Hello everyone, before posting my issue, I went through some posts and noticed many here are using a 27'' monitor, some even a 32'' or higher, and it seems you are all happy about your setup. Well, I was using a 17'' monitor, and decided it was time to change, so I bought a HP Pavillion, 27 xi IPS. It is very nice, thing is, whenever I fly with my NGX, after a few minutes, FSX sturts stuttering... Here is my rig's specs: CPU Intel I7-4770, 3.5 Ghz, EVGA GTX780, factory overclocked, 8 GB of DD3 RAM, two SSD, one for Windows 7-64, one for FSX. The add ons I currently use are: EZ-Dok, Trackir 5, ASN, ORBX Global, FEX for sky textures, and I do not use AA, but Trilinear. As I said, I just tried the monitor with the NGX, as I almost only fly liners. The airport I took off from was EGKK, scenery from UK2000. Tonight I lowered autogen to normal, and disabled ASN, and I did the same flight, with the same results. As I never had these issues before, and the only change is the monitor, at first I thought my rig could not handle a higher resolution, coming from 1280x1024. But then I read some of you use even larger monitors, and so, just maybe, there is something wrong I am doing with the new monitor. Any questions you have that might help you understand what is causing the stuttering, please, ask away...one more detail: for my EVGA card, I use nvidia inspector, with settings from Nick, over at Simforums, and the FSX.cfg file was twicked by the the bojote's tool. Thank you all for any inputs and suggestions, Enrico

Hello Bryan, and thanks for your suggestions. So, if I understand what you suggest, I have to use the voice commands and not the button commands. I will try it, and report back, Enrico
