Thanks Turboken... Ive changed this to 6.5.. Autogen loading appears a little better.. Not tried anything else yet, just taking it one step at a time... I've attached a video ive just made, Its recorded from my phone so there are funny lines all over the monitor.. Please ignore these. You can see below the aircraft how slowly the autogen pops up.. Hopefully this will make it a bit easier for everyone to understand https://youtu.be/81bwl-Rjcpc

Hi Charlie, Thanks for your reply.. I understand what you mean.. The changes in blurriness are so harsh though and the autogen not loading more than a mile or two just seems crazy.. On finals to any airport i can watch autogen pop up mile on mile lol Take this i found on goggle for example....

Hi All, Ive been playing Flight sim's over the last 15 years or so and I've loved every single one. recently I found myself in a position to build a new machine dedicated to FSX.. After £1200 of my hard earned money and help from a few friends I built my first PC from scratch.. The spec is as follows CPU - Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor CPU Cooler - Corsair H80i GT 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler MOBO - ASRock Z97 EXTREME4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard RAM - Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory FSX SSD - Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Windows HDD - Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive Graphics Card - MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card Case - Corsair SPEC-03 Red ATX Mid Tower Case PSU - EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply Optical Drive - Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer Extra Case Fan - Corsair CO-9050016-RLED 52.2 CFM 120mm Fan I am running a lot of addons ORBX Global, England and Vector. Lots of the UK2000 addons. REX 4 Textures Direct and Activesky. PMDG 737NGX and Aerosoft airports (including some mega airports) I have tweaked my cfg using Bojote's Tweaking and Tuning tool for FSX and im running the nvidia inspector tweaks as per Avsim's guide.. I can copy my CFG up here if anyone wishes or its required. I am using an external FPS limited to limit my frames to 40 and have the FSX limit set to unlimited My main questions are... Is this as good as FSX gets in the screenshot below? Can the 'bluries' be fixed? and why is Autogen only loading a few miles around me? (Screenshot is at Aerosoft Lisbon) I'd really love to get my FSX looking better, far fewer bluries, autogen loading more than a few miles away and mainly smoothness.... Are there any experts who can help and answer my questions Many Thanks in advance, Mark

Many thanks that's awesome

Any idea why it says I do not have permission to view the forum?

Ah ok great thanks

Hi all, I have a small collection of Saitek hardware - backlit info panel, autopilot panel, switch panel and radio panel. The gear is great and I've built it into a wood dashboard that looks fantastic. I'm having issues using the switches on the auto pilot and switch panel.. I know these are generic panels and not specific to any real aircraft but is there a way to get the working nicely across the range of aircraft I fly - 737ngx, a2a Comanche, pa28 and carenado citation I've been told of a program called LINDA.. is this the answer to my problems or is there an alternative / better / other program / programs to use? I'm using SPAD for driver, not Saitek

Hi All, I bought the s550 and Navigraph addon and when i turn the FMS on it says LOADING DATA BASE and never changes from that.. Ive sat for 20 mins and it still doesnt change. I can turn it off and back on but it says the same. No other buttons on the FMS respond

Hi All, I'm in a very unfortunate situation. I recently purchased a new FSX machine and PC to run as a client for programs such as EFB, Active Sky etc. Ive always ran active sky over a network and never had any problems. I set the original networked install up my self. Since buying these new machines I cannot for the life of me get ASN to connect to FSX.. It just says waiting for simulator in orange. This is driving me round the bend as im fairly confident I've done everything correct but maybe not lol.. Here's some specs of my install Main FSX PC - Win 7 64 bit AS_Connect is installed FSX Version: MSFSX: Acceleration: 10.0.61637.0 MSFSX Acceleration SDK Version: 10.0.61637.0 Note - FSX is classic boxed edition Secondry non fsx gaming PC - Win 7 64 bit SimConnect Versions installed: 10.0.60905.0 || 10.0.61242.0 || 10.0.61259.0 ASN Version: Active Sky Next for FSX SP2 Am I missing something here... I'm loosing my mind lol! Oh and by the way Avilasoft EFB is fully operational and functional over the network using simconnect.. Live map, airport etc everything works perfectly Please help!

Thanks to all who have commented. I'm Currently away but this info will be so useful when I'm back Would I be correct in saying that in this pic the top fans are intake, front fan is intake, rear fan is exhaust?

Thanks Gents All of this has been most helpful.. I'll make some amendments and repost

Hi, I have had my MD11 boxed edition for many years now but recently reinstalled FSX. I reinstalled my MD11 thinking id not yet done so when in actual fact i HAD. Whilst not paying proper attention I continued the installer and reinstalled over my MD11 install. Now when i load my MD11 I have no gauges, just black screens. Yoke is fully turned left and I cannot click ANY buttons in the aircraft. My throttles, flaps, speed brake levers do not move either. Can someone help me with this? Thanks in advance, Mark

Anyone else able to help?

There all plugged into there own port on the computer. It's weird how they worked last time and now don't ?

Hi, I'm using the saitek proflight multi panel and the proflight switch panel. I'm running the latest SPAD drivers and everything was running great until yesterday the LCD display stopped working on the multi panel and the landing gear lights on the switch panel. The buttons and dials still operate things in the aircraft. I have uninstalled and reinstalled SPAD and its not made any difference. When in quit SPAD completely and reload it the flashing display and light test works on the panel so none of the components have failed. Can anyone help please?

Thanks guys

Fantastic response all and a big help really appreciated

Hi all, I couldn't really see any other forum suitable to post this in s I hope this is correct. I recently moved house and now have a new flight sim room this room is bigger than any room I've had before and now my 6.1 creative surround sound speaker leads are not long enough!! :( Does anyone know what this type of plug / jack is called and can I buy an extension lead with a female and male at either end ?? The cable is twin core if this helps??

Great advice thanks all

That's correct I'll give this a go anyway thanks

Just noticed these are pdf's does anyone know of any videos

Many thanks

Hi all, I'm new to the md-11 and was looking for a good tutorial to show me how to fly via the fmc with autopilot and auto landings. Does one exist? I watched a 5 part on YouTube which I thought was own but whilst flying alongside the tutorial I encountered errors it did not and I now realise he had missed a few key steps. I'm a competitant 737 ngx pilot but the md-11 is one of my dream aircraft! Please help I'm looking for video tutorials if possible
