Thanks everybody for the replies. I will experiment a little bit and see what is possible. Bob and driver: if I understand you correctly, you have opposed opinions regarding force full screen. If I don't use that line in the cfg, as bob suggested, will I have to disable it in inspector too? Thanks so far Jonathan

Don't have the fixer, just the file from the library here at avsim

hi there, i bought a new pc recently and im now running fSX in DX10 preview. Its up and running and everything is fine, but i have one little problem. The Sim runs 30fps smooth sometimes dropping to 29.6 but thats it.(heavily populated areas are less but im bush flying most of the time anyways) But i have this blue textures appear and disappear while flying. Ill post my specs, my Config and my Setting at the end of the Post, and you would really help me, if you could look over it. Maybe you find something to stop this annoying blue texture. If you have any other suggestions for Settings or tweaks, i will try them too. Im quiete new to tweaking and so on. Before i just made setting in the settings menu, and did the bojote thing.

Hi all 2010 I bought a new pc. I got as much as I could out of my budget to get good looking fsx with nice performance. It worked out not as good as I hoped but. When you spend more time tweaking than flying, there's something wrong. Especially in the orbx regions I had the problem, that ground textures were not loading fast enough. They where blurry and it needed some time till it loaded the texture with max res. I currently am thinking about upgrading or buying a new one. I will post the components that I bought 2010 and hope you can tell me if it makes sense to upgrade certain parts of the pc or if I should get a new one. My goal is to get a fluid fsx in orbx regions (will get the new orbx global too) with a quiet high autogen (traffic and weather is not that important). Planes are the standard ones, maybe some small addon aircraft in the future. Here is the parts list I bought in 2010: 4GB-Kit Corsair DDR3 PC1600 C9 Dominator AMD Phenom II X4 955 Box, Sockel AM3, 125W HGST DESKSTAR 7K1000.C 500GB, 16MB, S JCP Midi Tower ATX "Light Crystal", weiß, 500W Netzteil MSI 770-C45, AM3 Samsung SH-223C bare beige SATA Sapphire HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 PCI-Express I'm thankful about any suggestions Have a nice Sunday Jonathan

Hi, I have the Same Problem Since a few days. Only Things i changed were Installation of airhauler and i Fried some overclocking of the Video Card via the ATI Control Center. I will try to Set the Video Card back to old settings and try again. Thank you Jazznow

I read an review on air hauler too. Did I understand it right, that I have to fly regularly every few days, otherwise my reputation will go own? That would be a no go for me, since I only can fly once a week for longer than half an hour. Sometimes I don't fly for 2 months or so... What's about Savin flights an continue them later? Greetings Jazznow

Hi folks, Today I thought it would be great to do some of the flights, the guys in this tv show did. So I googled around but didn't find any summary of the flights they were doing and no flight plans or similar too. So I thought maybe the msflight community can put together something great: A database of all flights they did in FWA. What do I wnt everybody to do? I want you to pick your favorite episode of FWA and pol your most favorite flight out of it. Watch the pisode and take notes. After that do some online research, maybe fire up flight and have a look how the scenery looks light in game. After that please fill out the following as an fact sheet and post it in this thread. Fact Sheet Episode (time of first appearance): Pilot: Plane: which one is used in the tvsow, which one would you recommend. Season/date/time: Start: if it's an airport full name and code would be great. If its not an airport give an exact description of the place (with coordinates?). If its an airport that is not simulated in flight, choose whether to start somewhere on a field in the area where it would be or to start from an airport nearby. Destination: same as start Passengers/Cargo: maybe mention special actions here. For xample: explosives, you have to fly around populated areas, land softly and don't get into heavy wheather to avoid explosion. Nav directions: this part cn be as short or as long as you want. Maybe you just google the vor frequencies and radials you need to find the destination. Or you put an exact description how to fly in it (like: after takeoff head 273 degrees or 15 mins, when you pass a big lake turn right to course xy and fly for approx. 20 mins than take the third valley entrance to the right etc.pp.) Eventually you can even put together an fsx flight plan, so people can load it into their gmap thingy (descriptions to the single waypoints would be great) or maybe you can provide charts or similar. I'm not sure if we are allowed to add flight plan file as an attachment to a post. Special occurrences: put info for special occurances in here (f.e. after 1h30min of flight time a bird hits your plane. Lookout for an suitable place to do an emergency landing. You can continue your flight after an mechanician checked your plane) That's it. I know its a lot of work, but think about it. Many people are doing an extensive flight planning anyway and you just have to provide some additional info. Other people will benefit from the work and if enough people take part on this you can benefit of their work too. I think this collection could provide many of us with hours of fun. Greetings Jazznow

<Sing> beautiful downtown Unalakleet </Sing> i want to Play the Tweetos now! Sadly i have to wait till first of July when I get new money ;/ anyway have fun and pls keep posting screenies.

Wow so much useful hints and tips. Thank all of you so much. I think I will give orcas island a try. It looks most appealing to me at the various screens that are around. Thanks again. You all were a great help. Greetins Jazznow

Hi there, This is just another thread of somebody who wants to Take Benefit of the orbx Sale. I flew at ther VfR Germany regions in the past an did mainly ga, island and airstrip hopping. Everything low and slow. Usually i imagine a story around my flights, like transporting urgent stuff or business men or something like that. Anyway now I want to explore some new regions and decided to get pnw and pacific fjords. Since I always had an imagined home base (in Germany it was the juist airport edwj) and I think it would be nice to have one of this highly detailled airport addons as a home base. But I don't know which one to get and maybe u can help me with that. It should be a small airport or a airstrip (the municipal airports at too big already I think) It should be highly detailed and Id love to have a good amount of ga traffic at the strip (is there a way to tell Fsx that I want more traffic at an specific airport/airstrip?) Life is quiet important to me so car traffic and this moving people thing would be a nice to have too. Last goodie would be a position that allows me to fly easily in both add on regions. I have a list of 9 airports which seem to fit some of my requirements with Israel's farm, fall city and orcas island at the top. What do you think about this three. Do they meet the points above? What about other airports. Hope you can help me. Many greetings Jazznow

Not writing much here, mainly reading but have the feeling, I have to give mz 2 cents to this discussion. As far as I can see/read it arwen didnt put somebody else for his or her opinion down in this thread (or in other threads as far as I read them). All she said was that she has hoped flight will turn out into a more elaborated sim with time and that this hope is fading now. She valued this course only with the clear statement that it isn't the way she wanted flight to go, but she neverever declared the wishes and hopes of others to be worth less. I strongly hope, she ill continue her engagement for flight in this forum, because I think she did a good job so far. And something in general: I think it's time to calm down when it comes to liking flight or not. At least in this forum people aren't bashing this game/sim mindlessly anymore. Two or three weeks ago there were new threads posted everyday that became a flame war between haters and lovers of flight. It was even worse earlier. Especially the people who liked flight developed a strong reflex to react to the rants/flames of the other side, which is natural and understandable. this reflex still exists in many peoples heads I believe, but at the point the forum is now, most criticism is elaborated and fare away from mindless flames and therefore the reflex isn't as neccessary as before anymore. I think It's a good time to start thinking about the way we understand other peoples posts and to consider the possibility, that it wasn't meant as offending as it seems to be when reading it first. Wrote a lot and hope you were able to understand what I meant since English isn't my native tongue. In case it didn't become clear enough: the above is only my oppinion and I am sure there are other opinions, that differ much from it. I can live with that and didn't want to offend anybody. Greetings jazznow

Hi there, First let me Thank you for ths Great Information. I Started an circular flight around the isles to get the "landed at all Airports" Award. Eventually i Decided to do it by vor navigation after Finishing the Most Western Island. I found that the radials at some Airports were Not correct but it could well be, that i did a mistake, so i Thought i will Post the radials that seem to work (After landing i just turned at the ob knob until the Lines were centered). Maybe someone could Check wich radials are correct. If i am wrong please Tell me and forget it ;) if i am Not wrong the Informations are Maybe helpful. Oahu Airport Code - vor - radial - vor2 - radial2 PHJR - h - 258 - k - 266 Molokai Hi49 - k - 095 - m - 267 The folliwing two were Not listed Since they are Not active. I landed there Anyway Phnp - h - 320 - k - 282 Xbel - h - 067 - k - 343 Tomorrow i will Continue my Journey. If i find any other radials that do Not fit, i will Post them here. Greetings Jazznow

Cool Idea. Thanks. Would it be ok, if others add theire challenge ideas? Thread could be pinned on Top as an Pool of ideas what to do in flight. Greetings JazznowP.s. Hello to everyone. Just realised, this s my First post lol.

Jazznow85 or Jazznow1 - Not sure atm. I'm from Germany and would like to Meet other People to just fly around and do some challenging Things (who can fly inverted under that bridge...). I'm no simmer at all, jt enjoying to see the World from above.
