  1. I have AI Smooth and UT2 working together, seems to reduce conflicts for me with no probs Cheers Alan
  2. Gerald, thanks for that, I'm not a MCE user presently but i'd be interested to look at the tool you mentioned, is it on your site? Ron, many thanks for that detailed (and rather daunting!!) explanation you gave above. I have Audacity and everything else necessary for recording so..... ^_^ I'll let you know how I get on!! Cheers Alan
  3. Thanks for that antomorse. Hadn't noticed those!! :rolleyes: I presume the pilotscript folder is what it says? Cheers Alan
  4. Hi All I was wondering if there is a file with the text for the pilot flying voices? I want to record my own voice for the captain. I appreciate there are going to be a LOT of files but wanted to give it a go and see if it's possible. Thanks for any help Regards Alan
  5. Ahh got it! :rolleyes: Have to admit I always set standard on the switch Thanks Ronzie
  6. Hi Dave PM sent, many thanks Regards Alan
  7. Thanks Charles, just the advice I was looking for!! :drinks: Regards Alan
  8. Hi All I've always used the "B" key to set QNH without any problem (as I thought) It seems to set it correctly sat at the gate at EGLL and at 6000ft transition or have I got hold of the wrong end of the stick......? Regards Alan
  9. Hi All Is there a "correct" way of uninstalling FSX? After numerous problems I've decided to bite the bullet and do a complete re-install. There seems plenty of advice on installing but I couldn't find anything on uninstalling. Any advice, as always, gratefully received ^_^ Many Thanks Alan
  10. Hi Paul Thanks for that :smile2: I use REX for all textures so I'll delve into that a bit more deeply. If anyone one has any suggestions please feel free to share :lol: Again thanks Regards Alan
  11. Hi Guys Well, done as I was told :rolleyes: and fps up to 18-20 sat at the gate at UK2000 EGLL in the AXE. Pushback and taxi smoothish at around 17fps (thanks Michael for the FSUIPC hint!! I had save flights checked) Climb again smoothish at about 23fps and cruise smooth as far as I could tell at 28-29. Landing at UK2000 EGFF with fps of 28-29 I was happy with that and I did have UT2 set at 80% :lol: Will give it another go with no AI, although I never fly like that, AI is a must for me. The only thing I didn't seem to have was wave animation, but I can live without that. The one thing I didn't add to the .cfg was bufferpools, would that iron out any (very) minor stutters? Anyway thanks to you guys for helping, :drinks: one thing I've learnt is to take notes of everything I change!! :rolleyes: Regards Alan
  12. Thanks for the replies guys and thanks for taking the trouble to read the attached files, much appreciated!! I'll do as suggested and report back. I do notice I get a noticeable pause, like an elastic band is the only way I can describe it, but I think that's an AXE problem. Again many thanks Regards Alan Edit PS I use Razer Booster to cut down running processes, it's just knowing what to stop.......
  13. Hi All I've been using DX10 for quite a while now but relatively recently my fps has dropped to 10 :( I've got a reasonably well specced rig and I don't think I'm throwing too much at it. Mainly using Aerosoft AXE with UK2000 airports along with UTX and GEX Europe, REX textures, OPUS weather and Radar Contact. I've probably read and applied way too many tweaks to the stage I can't keep track of what I've done!! I would be very grateful if someone could take a look at the attached .cfg and NVI screenshots and try and point me in the right direction? Many thanks in advance Regards Alan
  14. Hi All Need a bit of advice regarding overclocking. I've had my rig overclocked at 4.2 for a while and wanted to up it to 4.5, which I did in the BIOS. Core voltage at 1.20v Stress tested with no probs with temps in mid 70s. Thought that was all done when a few days later I happened to start Core Temp to double check the temps and noticed it reported the cpu running at 4.2. Opened CPU-Z and that reported the same. Double checked the BIOS and that was still set at 4.5! What speed is my rig running at?? Anyone any ideas? Many thanks for any help Regards Alan
  15. Thanks Les, looks like more money will be going..................
  16. Hi All Been using DX10 for a short while now, thanks to all those who have worked hard to get it up and running :Applause: Not sure if this is the right forum to ask this but..... While I was on the Flightsimtools site downloading Addon Converter I noticed 2 other programmes, Airport wizard and contrails. Anybody any experience with these? worthwhile? and DX10 compatable? Many thanks for your thoughts Regards Alan
  17. Still haven't had offset or C states explained Cheers Alan
  18. Seems to be a few white vehicles in UK 2000 Gatwick. Some white, some ok Cheers Alan
  19. Hi Chris Sorry if this is OT but is there more than one version of Autostar, I downloaded the zip, but when I tried to install it tells me that the visual basic .dll is missing. I went to the Microsoft and basically it's not compatible with windows 7 How did you get it going? Regards Alan
  20. Hi Westman Thanks for the advice, I'm guessing you have better cooling than me! Anyways, still trying to to get it stable at 4.5. I'll try disabling HT and see how that goes. Once stable I'll try for higher. Be back for more advice then!! :rolleyes: Thanks Alan
  21. Hi Guys Many thanks for the replies @Word Not Allowed, I did read your guides (more than once ^_^ ) that's why I thought I was on the right track. Also saw a YouTube video from Asus saying that Prime95 shouldn't be used for stress testing as it wasn't validated for IB 64 bit systems and could potentially damage the system? My water cooling is a COOLIT ECO II FAT BOY PUSH/PULL CONFIG LIQUID CPU COOLER. Any good? Anyway my test crashed after just over 6hrs so I've upped it to 1.190v and tried again. Haven't disabled HT, should I? Also haven't de-lidded the CPU and to be honest I'm not overly keen on doing that. Sorry for the newbie questions but one more Should I disable the C states? and if someone could explain offset...... :wacko: Many thanks as always Regards Alan
  22. Hi All Having recently got a new set up, I wanted to overclock it. Unfortunately I'm an absolute beginner at this never having attempted it before. I've read the guides on here and elsehwere on the interweb (probably read far too many "guides"!!) and got thoroughly confused. Anyway I think I've got a stable OC @ 4.5 with a core voltage of 1.184. Currently running a stress test with AIDA64 (2 hours and counting) with max temps hitting around 70c. My question is should I try and go further and should I just be changing the multiplier and core voltage and leaving everything else alone? My specs are in the sig and the system's water cooled although I'm not sure how good my paticular system is. Many thanks for any advice Regards Alan ps and yes I am as old as my avatar (just not as wise!!)
  23. Thanks Word Not Allowed :-)
  24. Hi All Can this be done with different OSs ie Widows 7 (64 bit) and Vista 32 bit? Thanks Alan
  25. Thanks Julian, I'll try your suggestions at the w/e, unfortunately tied up with real life at the moment Regards Alan
