Graphics Driver Failed, Recovered
I've had this happen a couple of time now on trans-Atlantic flights. I believe its limited to P3D v.3.5. My screen flashes, goes dark, almost instanlly comes back on and I get the above message. Of course, the event causes a CTD in P3D. I have an Nvidea GTX 970 and the driver is 368.39-and a dual monitor setup. Running Windows 10 64. Anybody had this experience or have an ideas what causes it? Thanks.

VAS Management
Yes, I thought that issue was gone, but I'll give it a shot and program them when I closer to destination. I would say closer to 5-6.

VAS Management
To add one thing, just re-booted, started P3D and put the 772 at KEWR-no addon scenery othe than that mentioned above. Using the FSUIPC VAS monitor (which depicts VAS remaining instead of VAS used) and the number is 1.379732. I'll never make it to EGLL. I did turn down level of detail radius, but can't go to full screen and see the monitor. I am running ASN, which I forgot to mention. I do have a parallel FSX installation on a separate SSD. When I start that up same way have almost 2GB's of VAS remaining. I'll start playing with the sliders, I guess and see what happens.

VAS Management
No, the longer the flight, the more vas usage/leak, so KEWR to VHHH, for instance impossible. Will try as well as full screen mode. I have been using windowed mode. Thanks.

VAS Management
I run out of VAS on almost every PMDG 777 overseas flight. I fly those with no add-on scenery (except UTX and FS Global 10 if that counts). I have all traffic off, so that's not it. I have a decent system: Intel 6700K running at 4.5, 16 GB of Trident ran, GTX 970, etc. Prepar3D has its own SSD. Am currently running 3.5, but have had the same issue since I started using Prepar3D at 3.0. I run Windows 10 64. There's a lot of advice about how to set up Prerar3D out for respected sources such as Nick N., Ron Ainscough, etc. Which I've read and followed, but still have the issue. My question is (finally), which setting (graphics, scenery, lighting, etc.) should I turn down. In other words, which one have the most dramatic effect on VAS. Tanks much, Dan Cole

RC window issues
I'm having a new issue with rc both in Fsx abd P3d v3.2. Most of the options appear and work fine with the rc window: ATIS, clearance, ground, tower, etc. But a couple of the options seem to be missing: 1 when climbing or cruising, I get a request higher option, but no request lower option. 2 When approach assigns me a runway, I get no option for choosing an alternate runway. This happens with both simulators and at all airports. Anyone heard of these issues? Any fix come the mind? Thanks. Dan Cole

Editing the a4.csv file
Thanks. I'm glad I asked.

Editing the a4.csv file
Lima, Peru has changed its ICAO designator from SPIM to SPJC. Navigraph has updated their database and so flight plans have the new designator. Because its not in RC's database, it drives RC crazy. My question is: Can I simply change SPIM to SPJC in a4.csv without causing any harm? Thanks. Dan Cole

No key
I don't know what you mean by "mailer". If you mean what is my email program, its Outlook 13. If you mean how did I create the email, I used the RC interface-upper left box where it says "I can create an email for you". Thanks

No key
Well, boys still don't know why no response, but turns out it wasn't needed. On this new build of mine, I had to unintstall and re-install RC. Well I just assumed I would need a new key. This AM I tried using the key sent to me after the first install and, voila, it worked. Thank all for your efforts. Dan/Robert Now on to my Windows 10 713 msstdfmt issue.

No key
My email has never changed since I first started using the product. My guess is over 10 plus years, there's a very good chance my key requests have exceeded 6. Anyway I'll write JD as has been suggested.

Dear Ray and Unsigned, With respect to the name thing, its due to a vengeful mother who insisted on calling me by my middle name all my life-Dan. My real first, and therefore legal, financial, official, etc. name is Robert. If you think you're confused, try living with it. By way of background, I've owned this product for at least 10 years and have had to do numerous re-registrations over that time. So here's what I did this time: I went to the box on the upper left "I can generate an email for you", filled out my first and last name and here are the particulars of the email that was sent: Addressee: [email protected] Subject: RCv4 Key Request Body: 312232827 ! Robert ! Cole No response. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. Dan/Robert

Been running ASN with FSX, now have P3D3.0
My question is, how do I get it to work in P3D3.0? Do I have to reinstall. Is there a different version? Thanks.

Grass growing on runways
I don't know if this is a DX10 issue or not. I also wish I knew how to upload pictures here as it might explain the problem I'm having. At certain airports when using either photo real scenery or pay-ware airports, the runways seem to be covered in grass. That is they lose all definition and are a mess of concrete and grass or dirt. Two airports in particular where I've noticed this are KEWR using MegaScenery Earth's high res NY scenery or using AS New York Airports/Newark and KIAD using MegaScenery Earth's Baltimore/Washington high res and/or FSDream Team KIAD. Any thoughts. Thanks. Dan Cole

A Disaster!
Jim's solution worked for me. Thanks.

A Disaster!
Jim, I did as you suggested and fsx des, indeed, load up, but no fsdt menu and, of all things, my lds menu is screwed up. I'll try over at the flightbeam forum. Thanks. Dan Cole
-
A Disaster!
Ok, I didn't understand everything you said, but first I renamed fsx.cfg and tried to start fsx with no luck. Then I renamed dll.xml to something else and fsx did start up with no menus as you suggested. Now what? Thanks. Dan Cole

A Disaster!
Same thing just happened here. Dan Cole Deleted the program as directed. rebooted. Problem has not gone away. no FSX now at all. Dan Cole

gtx 760 power connections
I've been using a gtx 570 and want to upgrade to a 760. I notice that the 570 has 2 6 pin power connectors while the 760 has a 6 and an 8. The manual sheds no light on this. My poer supple is a Corsair tx750. Any guidance would be appreciated. Dan Cole
