Wish somebody would make scenery for KOWB. I fly in and from there frequently

for giggles I inserted a spare 46" HDMI in my 3 monitor setup & it won't fully load FSX. so. I'll hunt around for a 23-25" for my center mon & run the 22 & 19" Left & right respectively Some of you can run 27" and above but You have way more horsepower than my i5 3470... Fly on ....

Thanks i got the right mon to AT LEAST display cockpit windows http://home.grandecom.net/~mbixby/IMG_1987.JPG

GT640 ddr3 2G Card straight forward setup VC front on center, left wing view on left monitor and right wing view on right monitor My card has 2 DVIs 1 VGA & 1 HDMI. I use 2 DVI (center & left mons) but the right mon (VGA) just wants to duplicate or ant drag new window to it.. Help

thnx Flying right now Yes I have Windows 7 & Total Commander both showing hidden files. It just didn't find using normal "search" I will never fly without 2 monitors again. In fact, waiting on third DVI-D cable I'll have three soon

Sorry . I didn't state I'm using 7 Home premium

I just built a new budget xputer for flying FSX. Still in process installing my usual add ons already logged 3-5 hours flying 310 & Baron Was gonna add HIMEMFIX=1 to FSX.cfg but I have no fsx.cfg FILE!? I3470 3.2CPU 8 G Ram and FSX GOLD with Acceleration. any explanations?

Installed on 240G SSD with Ultimate terrain USA Scenery, milvix 310R, RealityXP gauges and Carenado A/C and running real wx. FYI. This system works smooth. Fluid landings in rain and dense cloud environment. I now run two monitors and it makes huge difference & improves the experience ten fold. center for forward view and left monitor for left wing/45 degree port side. Great for down wind and base.

Thanks . I been debating whether to go '77 (ll55) or Haswell '87 (ll50) didn't know which socket is best value I should have stated I'm not interested in over clocking (at this time heh heh)

I had to give up my fsx box to my wifes work. So I decided to replace it with a DIY. admittedly i've always ran a par to subpar computer for my flightsimming and got by with tweaks. all my forum research tells me to go quad core intel with nvidia for gpu . hows this configuration? with my existing 17" display, ms sidewinder usb 1.0 joystick. atx case with 7200 rpm win 7/fsx/carenado/milviz/ USTerrain/ real WX/ and a 75 Mbps download speed.

thanks email coming

bump

Have both Realair DUKE(s) great planes Turbine all works B60 DME and Transponders are dead. I tried copying the DUKET guages over to CFG file. That also didnt work.

a Carenado 310R would be nice

old school here. VOR / DME , NDB 400 hours before I ever used GPS Now, I use GPS mostly for in flight cross reference , situational awareness (although i try not to depend on it) I fly mostly GA - Piper Arrow, F33, 310, Baron 58, Duke. Occasionally small Biz jets. I dont care for the big people transporters. GPS is a neat toy but I see it as such.

yes

make sure you have enough power supply. check Tomshardware.com

make sure num lock is off when u initiate FSX

Hats off to Bert Pieke' for is contributions and followup help.. I now have my favorite single (F33) performing as it should with only one exception. The RMI needles arent active or respond to the VOR2

so re: the AP, now I can set a predetermined altitude with the mouse wheel?

many thanks I just saved old aircraft.cfg and copied this one and added the included air file. 1 short flight so far and the trim seems less responsive is this correct? * elevator trim

wheres the patch? thx

PM sent.

success! Kord - KNBA FL200 read manuals changes= offloaded all REALITYXP guages reconfigured DUKE reconfigured FSX per Duke directions- Realism Crash slider all the way off set conditioners on low and forget. turned pitot heat on L R Set Pressurization pulled the two red Pressurization handles out. successful transition from manual flying to AP hdg ALT set VS set to GPS direct to Nashville diverted to KOWB VFR manual approach. wheels down on the numbers... dunno which change fixed it .. maybe none of the above..maybe before I was attacked by tewrrorists thnx for all your help
