Yes thats the one HighBypass. Thanks for the advice I will give it a try.

Hi, I hope someone may be able to help. My X55 joystick has been getting very noisy recently and quite stiff to operate. Has anyone any tips on the best way of lubricating the mechanics and what to use? I haven't tried opening it up yet in the hope that I can get some advice from someone here who may know the the best way of going about it. Baz

Can anyone tell me which folders the sky and cloud texture files live in? Are they. The same in P3D v2 and v3? Baz

Yes for me the Saitek X55 Rhino too. However it has recently started misbehaving after working smoothly for some time. The joystick intermittently refuses to acknowledge most key presses. Axis work fine. I suspect a USB power problem and am waiting for an Inateck USB 3.0 powered PCI-E card which I am hoping will resolve my problem. Baz

Just to add my favorite to the list, have a look at SimLauncherX.... (google it ).... it does a whole lot more and it is also free/donation_ware. Baz

I use Shoreham and Compton Abbas with Horizon VFR scenery and it looks great. Blends in well and no elevation issues that I have noticed. Barry

I have a GTX 760 2Gbyte running P3D V2 and aircraft shadowing internal/external + cloud shadows all work fine.

They should be in...... C:/Program Files (x86)/Horizon Simulation Hope this helps.

Hi, sorry I dont have the answer but I just installed an Nvidea GTX760 and don't find my anti alising working either. I have to tick it in FSX. I know some settings in Inspector do work - e.g. fps limiter. But how can you tell if the profile for FSX is being used? I am currently running NVIDEA Inspector 1.9.7.2 GeForce 331.82

Thanks for the helpful suggestions guys. The problem turned out to be something in SweetFX. I didn't isolate it, just reinstalled the complete latest package V1.5 and now everything works great. So I can confirm using "mklink /j" to move the entire FSX directory with everything in it does work. All my sceneries, aircraft, logbook and missions intact. :rolleyes: Regards. Barry

DX9 does not work either. Is that the main shaders folder including all the other internal folders contained within it?

Hi, Can anyone help with this problem that I ended up with after using "mklink /j" to move my complete FSX folder to a new drive. Some files got corrupted during the transfer but these I managed to repair with my FSX CD. However I am currently left with a shader problem, FSX crashes out with the following error.... initialising shader enviroment device->GetBackBuffer failed I have rerun Steves DX10 scenery fixer incase that might have fixed things - but no change. Any help would be appreciated. Regards Barry

Just bought Revolution X and given it a quick try out. It is an improvement on just bare photo scenery but don't expect too much from it. I have found some areas totally lacking any autogen even with my sliders set at max (e.g. around EGFF Cardiff airport along the south coastal area ). I also find the trees rather sparse. My only other major critisism is the night lighting is very erratic switching on and off in great swathes whenever you pan the view. Don't know if this could be due to one of my settings needing tweaking but Orbx Global 3D lighting works fine ( not in photo scenery of course). I would give it 7 out of 10 - and 8 out of 10 - if I can get the night lighting to work. Barry

Thanks for that RockOla. :rolleyes: Never heard of Bandicam before but I have just given it a try and it works great for screenshots and FPS with SFX and DX10.

No, FSX boots Ok, but trying to use Flight FX gui to change settings no longer works with SweetFX which initially it did before firing up Fraps.
