Possibly, however if the flap tracks and flap track fairings deployed without the flaps it appears to be an animation issue.

Do you have advanced animations turned on in the FSX menu? It looks like the flap tracks and fairings deployed on that section without the actual flaps following suit.

Thanks, it appears the sceneries was the cause, also I will look into that extra user account as that seems to be a rather good idea.

Hello, up until yesterday FSX had been running rather well, when I fired up FSX today for a KMCO- KEGE route I had a black screen where the aircraft usually spins, when I went to start the flight it would start loading somewhere around 90% and freeze at 100%, from there FSX goes unresponsive to all commands and has to be closed through task manager, this problem has persisted through several FSX restarts, a re-install of SP1 and SP2 and an FSX repair cycle. Thank you.

A full reinstall of SP2 seems to have fixed the problem, thanks.

Hello, yesterday FSX was working perfectly fine, I shut down my computer last night and when I booted my computer this morning to play FSX I got a black screen where the aircraft preview is, it also had a black screen when loading the sim, resulting in it never loading. So I inserted my discs and used the repair function and now whenever I try to start fsx it opens the FSX title page for a few seconds and then I get a fatal error and a CTD. Does anyone know of a solution. If this helps my specs are 6 GB of generic RAM, Intel i5-2320 @3.0GHZ and an NVIDIA GTX 660 OC.

OK thank you, I will wait out on the Motherboard and CPU for now and get the rest of my hardware, hopefully there will be enough info and updates to the architecture that I can buy the MOBO and CPU by the end of August.

Agh thank you, I have heard from some that Haswell does not OC as much as previous Intel CPU's.

Hello I was just wondering which CPU would be the better one for FSX. The price difference is currently no concern at the moment. I want the best CPU for FSX and I plan to overclock the CPU to as fast as possible and still keep it stable, the cooler is a Corsair H110. I am just wondering which CPU can I overclock higher, and which one will, overall, perform the best on FSX. I have built computers before, I am just not certain on which of these CPU's will give me the best performance in FSX. Thank You.

Wow that is very interesting, what is your position that enables you are able to access this aircraft?

+1 I have always found the sound one of the components I look for in payware, really what is the point of having this brilliant aircraft with all the systems and every detail modeled and ultra realistic when the engines sound like a 35 year old lawn mower. The third most important reason I buy PMDG, behind the virtual cockpit/systems and the aircraft model respectively, is the amazing sound I have found in them, and I am sure on the beauty it will be no different, maybe even another step higher on the sound quality scale if that is even possible.

Great videos, I hope to see more from him soon. :lol:

With the PMDG 777 release imminent I just want to see here who, besides me, will be replacing their old MD-11's and other long haul aircraft with the 777 for the VATSIM cross the pond event. Cheers.

OK, thank you for your help, I hope to have my rig up before the PMDG 777 is out.

Hello, which one of these cards would perform better in all FSX situations. I am trying to order the card within the next 3 days to stay on my build schedule and I would like an opinion before i commit a large amount of cash to the endeavor. Thank you.

So many cards! I think I am going to go with the normal 660, it comes in a combo where i get the corsair TX750 at a reduced price on newegg EDIT: Argh I almost bought it and found these by HIS and Gigabyte: <p><a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161420">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125414</a></p> Would these perform better than a 660 in FSX?

OK, the ASUS seems to have slightly better specs., do you think the ASUS or EVGA will perform better in FSX, as I have heard nothing on ASUS cards in FSX.

OK, well what about the ASUS 660TI, I think I might up my budget for the TI version, but is the ASUS or EVGA version the better card?

Hello, I am building a new computer and was wondering which processor will give me a faster FPS rate for FSX, the Intel I7 3770K or the AMD 8350FX.

No this is for a custom build, sorry I thought i already mentioned that, I am using a corsair 750 for that new build with an I7 3770K and corsair 16GB RAM EDIT: I can only afford the baseline superclocked 660, not the TI which is an extra $109, the 7870 is only an extra $50 so that is in my price range, is the 7870 more compatible with FSX than earlier AMD's/Gigabytes?

A Dell Inspiron 660 with an intel I5 (dont know the rest of the processor except that it is a second gen I5), 4 GB of RAM, Integrated Intel HD graphics 2000.

Ok, the AMD looks like it has better specifications so how does the nvidia work better for FSX. I just want to make sure what I buy is the best before I commit.

The ti version of the 660 is outside of my budget, if nothing else comes to avail i will use it but will the super clocked version of the 660 that goes for $200 perform well or will the 7870 out perform it, also is NVIDIA better for FSX?

Hello, I am in a desperate attempt to build a new PC before the PMDG 777 comes out and before certain VATSIM events. The main question is if for my graphics card I should use the NVIDIA GTX 660 or the Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870. The 7870 appears to be a better card overall however I have heard posts about the AMD's/Gigabytes not working well with FSX. I have also heard that NVIDIA might be more compatible with certain crucial modules of FSX. The processor I plan to pair this with an I7 3770K. Thank You
