    What a wonderful thread. I never really thought about my life in terms of "defining moments", but this thread encouraged me to do so. The one that jumps out is the meeting with my guidance counselor in high school my junior year. I was thinking in terms of the local college to study mathematics, with no real goal in mind for a profession, simply due to the fact that I was completely clueless on fields of endeavor, or professions. He strongly encouraged me to consider aiming higher to a renowned university and a specific professional concentration. I did as he advised, and the rest is the story of my life and career. My life was changed and shaped in a one hour meeting with my guidance counselor. There should be a special reward for people in that profession.

    Hi all:

    Does anyone know what the sounds named AB1, AB2, and AB3 simulate? They are located in FSX/Sounds/Carenado/XL560/Basic. They run in the background constantly and I find them distracting. I finally changed the volume to very low on these sounds so now I hardly notice them. Just wondering....

    Thanks

    The little bit they did/do have generated a heap of complaints on the main MS Forum.   Apparently people prefer nice screenshots over realistic.

    You get the same with night lighting and water -  overall most people seem to prefer fairyland xmas night lights and unnatural waves even at low wind speed over realistic

    Thanks for chiming in Glenn. I always wondered why more guys don't mention the haze. I like mountainous terrain as much as anyone, but I prefer it to look realistic.

    Well, I have this aircraft working at 1.2 level and I must say that I think this is the most complete Carenado aircraft that I have purchased. Good frames, reasonable VAS (running FSX) and everything seems to work. I don't ask her to do a lot, but she does what I need to get from Point A to Point B, and TO and landing safely. Still exploring all the functions, but so far so good.

    Well, after reading all the work you guys have done on this bird, I bought it today, installed it, and had the same problem I have had with other Carenado aircraft.

    Frame rates less than 5. Running FSX. I have a mid range system 4.6 on the CPU and a Titan X. So my system should not be overpowered. I have seen this in the past and sometimes it is cured by playing around with accesses to the Carenadonavigraph folder. So I changed some permissions and accesses with no joy. Before installing the 560 I uninstalled all my other Carenado aircraft as I have seen some interference in the past.

    Right now this one is dead. I know I can go to the GTN but I would really like to have one of the Carenados actually work in "native mode".

    I'd appreciate any ideas.

    Thanks

    I wasn’t lecturing you in what you should be doing. I was pointing out that you should expect the forum to be full of p3dv5 topics, because its the new sim, and this will become more and more the case over time.

    Some guys like to run their sim, some guys like to fix their sim.....to each his own

    Hey guys I have a 55inch 4k tv for my sim

    now is it plausible to use wide aspect view checked in v5?

    or does it cause performance issues in any way?

    thanks

    mike

    I have a 42 inch 4k and at .7 or .8 magnification the controls are just about full size. The looks out the windows look right. I'm wondering what magnification you run at in the sim and how realistic it looks at 55 inch?

    Thanks

    Remind me why you need the modified mdl file with this latest version of the Falcon?

    Al

    Ha!!! Got me there! I guess you are ever so politely suggesting I listen when I move the throttles? Of course, I was just going to write to tell you that I installed the modified .mdl on top of the modified .mdl in 2.0b. I've been away from the Falcon for about a year now and you guys have really moved it forward. Without a doubt, this is the best of class. And now on sale!!!

    Thanks again Al. All is well.

     Have you tried version 2.0b without any modifications or alternative mdl files?

    Al

    Yes. I was running straight stick 2.0b and it seemed ok. When I introduced the 32 bit version of the new .mdl, the lights went out. Just in those two areas. I'll try removing the new .mdl just to be sure.

    Hi Al:

    I just installed this .mdl file today. The sound is great but in my FSX/Win 7 64 Pro system it seems to have affected the autopilot annunciator panel on the console and the alert panel just below the glare shield. The autopilot seems to work normally but the lights are out.

    I'd like to make sure I correctly understand the relationship between some of the Nvidia utilities.

    1. My understanding is Nvidia Profile Inspector and Nvidia Control Panel do the same thing; Nvidia Profile Inspector is 'just' a GUI that makes it convenient to adjust the Nvidia Control Panel settings. Correct?

    2. When you load P3D, the Nvidia profile for P3D (perhaps modified by the user) is automatically loaded as well. Correct?

    3. As best as I can find, the latest version of Nvidia Profile Inspector is ver DmW 3.5 (don't know what the DmW stands for), and the latest version of Nvidia Inspector is 1.9.7.8. But when I open the Profile Inspector from within Nvidia Inspector, I get Nvidia Profile Inspector ver 2.13, not ver 3.5.  Should I care?

    4. Are there any generally accepted tweaks to the provided standard P3D Nvidia profile for P3Dv5 HF1?

    Thanks for any insights on all this.

    Al

    Hi Al:

    One of the best tweaks I ever made was going to NCP and selecting "High Quality", and ended tweaking there. I spent years tweaking with NI and tweaked myself into mediocre performance. The "High Quality" setting delivered great graphics and high frames.

    This is something most users do not see so always best to contact me directly using our email contact form.

    The simple answer is there are only 4 customers who had this issue and we still to this day are not sure what causes it. I would like to know if you do solve it.

    Here is what i think is the issue. Your computer or internet refuses to speak to our server. So the installer can't continue as it can't verify your reg key. So turn off any 3rd part security like firewalls programs. The windows firewall is fine and can stay.

    If you can't solve it by turning off firewalls then simply turn off your internet and run the installer again and this will force the installer to allow you to use the OFFLINE mode. Follow the instructions it gives you. Done!

    The only firewall I have is Windows. I also have Windows Defender. But no other. I didn't think of that today but I'll try tomorrow turning off both of those and see. If not then I'll try disconnecting from the internet as you suggest.

    Thanks

    Hi Rick,

    Was just about to reply to your PM when I saw this. Mark has made some changes to the Lear coding that I think will 'lighten the load' a bit on your sim, at least I hope so. Mark also recently updated the installer and I'm just not knowledgeable enough about the changes to help directly, but will make sure Mark is aware of your post here.

    Stay safe,

    Al

    Thanks Al.

    Update here:

    I went to the Flysimware store and bought a fresh license and the install bombed with the same result as above. Arrrggghhh!! 🙂
