Thanks I have just started experimenting with the power pack today. It's brilliant never used it as it looked a little dounting but it's a very flexible tool. Been looking in the library's here at the ups/fedex schedule must of taken that guy hours to put together that much detail. Anyone seen a dhl schedule anywhere didn't see one here ?

Just wondering if I have missed something with the schedules. Are there no 2014 updates ? I normally download them using the ultimate traffic 2 interface but it's still showing summer fall 2013 , I havnt downloaded a schedule for some time is this why or is it something to do with the release of the ultimate traffic 2013 edition. What's going on with the updates ?

Is there an upgrade option then, or is it a fresh install of a whole new product?

Ok after weeks of testing I still don't have a solution. I can tell you what it's not though to help anyone else who might want to carry on investigating in the future. Turning smaa off helps a little but not much after further test. Bloom off in fsx and sweetfx no effect hdr off no effect. Nvidia AA off no effect fsx AA of no effect. Reducing anisotropic filtering to 8 x or lower helped a little see inspector settings above. My fsx.cfg file is tweaked with butherpools,highmem fix and affinity masks. I have turned off all monitoring tools to no avail and have the unicore fix. Conclusion with the information I have is that going to new Windows in game saving file instant replay switching to desktop seems to put a lot of demand and the graphics processor. It seems to peak and then close with no error message or report.it's not the toolbar unicore issue as I have this fix and the issue is not effected by the tool bar only opening other fsx Windows causes the crash. Unfortunately I like to look at instant replay so it's a no go for me. Simulator it's self is stable changing views is fine and with sweetfx everything looks great and performance seems to be improved over fsx default. I have a lot of add-ons and sweetfx CTD appear more prominent with pmdg aircraft and detailed add-on scenery. You can guarantee a ctd here with sweetfx. So I conclude it must be graphics related possibly nvidia AA possibly overload in memory usage . Without more details on what others who are experiencing this issue are I can't really solve the issue. I have gtx 580 3gb mildly OC. Turning the overclock off has no effect either. I hope we manage to solve this issue one day sweetfx looks amazing such a shame I can't enjoy the amazing effects and those others effected. I hope maybe what tests I have done help others to follow on where I have started. I now have removed sweetfx and no crashes anywhere back to how it was only OOM crashes on long distant routes but now I have fsx autosaver installed so not a huge waste of time afterall .

Anyone had any luck with these settings. Certainly a lot better but still get occasional ctd's . Think I'm onto something but need more test. Anyone else experienced ctd with this set up and using nvidia inspector AA. If so next bet would be to turn off AA altogether and just use SMAA instead? What graphics card you guys using?

My settings and inspector Setting for nvidia 580 3gb and present at http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/471/ Recently changed vsync to standard instead of adaptive seems smoother

Yes sorry SMAA worked for me after weeks of CTDs hope it helps you and any others who have this specific problem. I did find it weird how PMDG MD11 seemed to make it more prone to the open window crash but then I know Nvidia inspector settings apears quite aggressive when starting aircraft initialization . Made me think AA could be the cause . I did read somewhere too that some games can't use SMAA if the scene had been AA pre rendered for example inspector!. In this case internet explorer wasn't my cause but yes heard there is some update that also conflicts but assume that wouldn't be restricted just to FSX. Fingers crossed the 0 does the trick. Happy simming http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_update/kb-2670838-the-evil-update/08bfdb2b-6896-4c34-89c2-16896a25dc3d That's the link to the explorer update that badfinger mentioned but try 0 on SMAA first. The SIM will feel better too. Best of luck

Hi guys. I too have been struggling and after hours of testing resolutions vsyncs and various aircraft I finally believe I have found the solution! Well I hope so. Try turning off smaa in sweetfx. Put it to 0 in the settings text file. I believe it must of been a conflict between nvidia inspectors AA and sweetfx's SMMA settings. I have more tests to conduct but so far not one crash so can finally watch my instant replays and open the map window without the mysterious and dreaded ctd!

Solved it! The files were read only. If its caused by the same problem mine was then changing the panels folder in PDMG to read and write should solve it. Just left click on panels folder and untick read only. I copied the whole folder to my desktop, unticked read only, deleted the original and then copied it back over just in case. And now i can change PDMG setting, save panel state and yes if you save MSFS then the panel and all FMC data is also saved to the setting you left it at. Sorted, just need to find out why im not getting an T/O call outs now. Any ideas, i have noticed the files associated with PDMG's voices are in a separate folder in the MSFS sounds folder? Maybe for some reason PDMG cant locate them. I get all other aircraft sounds just not specifically any from the PDMG MD11 folder. Don't you just love flightsim :@) . Any one else get this issue?

Me too, when i try and save the panel state mid flight i get the error message unable to create file. I have ben trying this because.... when you save the flight using MSFS and reload it, all the information is gone, and the aircraft has to boot up from scratch in mid flight. All FMC data has been erased. Most annoying! I can only assume its something to do with the PDMG's installation process. Also i get no T/O call outs during V stages, and the pause at top of decent doesn't work either. Any help please, i did try a reinstall of MD11 to no avail.
