Since the introduction of FTX Central 2 I have had fairly consistent problems with blocks (or tiles) of land turning to water and vice versa. They the turn back again as you pass over them. This happens mostly when on approach to all the Norwegian airports. I can remember a similar problem that used to happen when you had forgotten to change regions but I thought since the appearance of FTX Central 2 this was no longer necessary. Now it is entirely possible this something I have forgotten to do but I don't see it. Any advice is gratefully received! Sorry just seen that my recent migration to Windows 10 (and back!!!) has wiped out all the products and order numbers from my profile which I will fix!

Thanks so much guys that is all really helpful. I have only just returned to the J41 so the relearning curve has been acute. Many thanks again to you all, a happy Xmas and healthy New Year to you all. Tony

I had a problem today in that my NAV button on the panel didn't work. The HDG button operated fine and I had to "manually" fly the plan using the HDG knob. It was the first time I tried to use the FMC on the J41 so maybe it had something to do with that? Also if you use the FMC is there a map option that works on this aircraft? The only screens I got were standard Arc or VOR/ILS screens. To make matters worse my autopilot decided to switch off and would not allow itself to be reconnected as I was in the final descent to intercept the ILS so I had to hand fly the interception and approach. Not sure what I did wrong but does anyone have some advice? All replies greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much firehawk44 I will give that a try! Your time is appreciated!

I have a strange problem. I have FSX on Windows 7. I have an almost new rebuilt PC with a Asus GForce GTX660ti new graphics card but I can't seem to overcome a problem I have had for some time. When I run high graphics aircraft like recently the Airbus X Extended with some extreme scenery I have no problem with frame rates but after a period of time (this varies) I start to lose parts of the grahics. This is often parts of the model of the aircraft like today the first thing I noticed in a long flight was after 3 hours I lost the fin of the aircraft. Sometimes this then develops into losing "layers" of the panel. Its not like a normal CTD but basically just loss of graphics as if my graphics card can't hold any more memory but it is easily big enough! I am also running Active Sky along with one of the online ATC interfaces such as Squawbox or Ivap and of course my VA Pirep tool. I am at a loss to know how to solve this one and would be grateful for some help.

Tried Shift+H for the probe heat but nothing indicates in the overhead or on the panel display so no idea if that works! Thanks for the tip though!

All the same for me! I just did a Scandinavia - UK flight made almost impossible with no probe heat and therefore no IAS because of of ice! The overspeed coming in at less than 200 knots in the cruise is ridiculous. C'mon guys I know this is a cheap product but these are fundamental for payware.

Isn't FSX the strangest of programmes? I started her up today, flew across the same coastline and all is perfectly normal. I tried introducing other software - no problems! Even started through Active Sky - still perfectly normal! I guess it was a glitch that happened yesterday and I will never know why! Thanks anyway Crewecut I really appreciate you taking time to help!

Yes Ultimate Terrain 2

I recently reinstalled my FSX and now I have strange "block" coastlines like this - any thoughts?

Sorry guys I should have said this is specifically made for FSX and it is "jersey.zip" which can be found in the Avsim library under FSX Scenery. As I suspected their is no real fix for this and Tim Clayton, the builder, canr be reached on the hotmail address in his "read me" file. I understand from the chaps in our VA that Earth Simulations are working on a Payware version. Thanks anyway.

I recently downloaded the Jersy (EGJJ) airport scenery and noticed the airfield is surrounded by black boxes with trees in them. When I switch to "top down" view they appear as dozens of light blue "blobs" around 3 sides of the airfield. I know very little of scenery design and tried just deleting the trees in the Texture folder. It deletes the trees but leaves the large black boxes. I would love know how best overcome this as the rest of this freeware scenery is quite good.

I have tried the solution of going to the hold point which seems best for release spacing at Heathrow and it does seem to work to some degree. Also Ronzie is right in thataircraft closer to the hold point seem to get preference.I am also told by other members of my VA that if you press the the Ctr+T buttons it reduces traffic to 10% thus allowing you to get a quick getaway.Its cheating but when needs must!!!

I use RC4 along with Ultimate Traffic 2.My VA flies out of Heathrow and Gatwick. Yesterday at Gatwick I waited 25 minutes at the hold point for incoming aircraft (which I understand) but most annoyingly RC cleared 6 aircraft for take off that arrived at an adjacent hold point AFTER me!It made the experience of a "quick" shuttle flight to Manchester into a boring nightmare. Short of drastically reducing traffic density what can I do to make the queue release a little fairer and lifelike?
