Hi Keys programed in 8i Pmdg key command menu have no effect. I cjecked the keys are not used by FSX or FSUIPC ANy idea J Woods

Hi Keys programmed in PMDG key coomand menu have no effect, as example i programmed button not used in fsx or fsuipc to toggle yoke. After setting the key testing shows programmed keys have no effect. The same applies to all other keys programmed for MCP etc ANy ideas J Woods.

Thanks for the support guys, I have made the changes suggested by Gray_Lensman in ADE9 but i see no change. The airport file i edit in ADE9 is this D:\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\MyTraffic\Scenery\BR2_UHPP.BGL its the only uhpp bgl on my PC so i assume it camer with mytraffix and its a not a defualt fsx airport. After chnaging ILS heading to 338.770000 in ADE, i save the fuile using the ADE defualt naming convention, which, then rename it to BR2_UHPP.BGL so i can overwrite exisiting. Generally well versed in tweaking fsx for years, but this first time i am using ADE. I would paste a picture of the ILS properties page on here so you can see , but all the icons i see here on avsim editor seem to be about taking this disscusion to facebook and twitter :huh:, and non easily identiable for adding attachment, i do this in hotmail all the time

Update, just used MagVarCorrector.exe to update UHPP, and no change in the situation. Also did a search in fsx install folder for *UHPP*.bgl, the only copy found was inside mytraffic folder, suggesting UHPP is not default FSX airport. Should i be looking for aiurport editor to fix this, never used airport editor. cheeers

I am going for the justflight cause its got cabin views and detailed graphics.

Thanks for the tip, just before i attempt to update my navaids. I1. I only use defualt fsx airport which i assume only needs defualt fsx navaids. 2. The airport i have noticed this issue is UHPP it could be one from MyTraffic, that why ils not aligned with runway. Also i have updated magdec.bgl to latest, but what file or folder should i give this tool MagVarCorrector.exe Thanks for the help

Pe11 4GB looks a bit low for fsx, you might want to get 6GB atleast. Running FSX my RAM usage is always around 4.7 etc GB. Might be worth checking this with task manager process tool.

Hi Sitting on the runway Tuned 110.30 for 34R at UHPP, but the localiser is pointing way off to the left. I used to see this before in where the localiser actually matches the runway opposite instead of the one its meant to, think i fixed that by moving Mytraffic scenery around in scenery.cfg. But this time the localiser matches non of the 4 runways at UHPP. Any idea how to fix this globally in fsx, if not whats the best way to fix for each airport i find the issue. cheers

You right about that, so i dont slowly throttle forward with this 787, i give full throttle

Lets me put it this way, on my machine i have used every kind of traffic program there is for fsx, UT2 is the only one that caused heavy stutters. Just flight TrafficX was good on frames But MyTraffic series, for me is the top all things being considered, and its got no competition, in my book. Search UT2 on this forum, and you'll see there is conflicting info regards UT2 stutters, on my system its literraly used to freeze the screen not even stutter. And this is on i7-920 at over 4Ghz at the time.

Hi I think it was gate 335 at EGLL. Since i noticed this issue i have moved mytraffic scenery to 2nd in scenery priority list. Just below addon scenery which 1st Went back to egll gate 335, and all was ok with the gate as seen by fsx and gsx. i did not conduct this experiment very well cause i changed position of mytraffic scenery priority before going to confirm the problem was with egll. Now that i have pretty much moved mytraffic scenery above most else, i suspect my ILS mixup problem could be back. The reason i previously moved mytraffic to bottom of priority was to fix ils issue, now i have moved it to top to resolve multiple scenery mixup issue. The author of the mytraffic addon seriously needs to help us fix this issue in fsx once for all. Not to mention mutiple bgl file for each airport when i load up fscommander, this is becoming very confusing Anybody knows a simple solution to all this masheup design , am all ears. Could someone ps post a picture of the order of scenery priority as they have in fsx, just so we know what the order should be. cheers

Hi Landed told FSX to give me progressive taxi to gate 335 asked GSX to take me to same gate using follow me On arrival fsx taxi line takes me to exactly what is marked on the ground , GSX's idea of same gate is a few metres to right. So GSX marshal is standing offset to right, then insulted my parking, for parking as shown on the ground. Also the follow me car seemed to prefer to stick to grass all the way. I have read about solution to this regards scenery library priority for MyTraffic which i use and addon airports. But i have not seen how to solve this problem if like me you have no addon ariport, just defualt fsx airport, and whatever comes with mytraffic. Any ideas

Hibernate can be quite usefull feature for heavy iron simmers who do long haul. I just pause minimise fsx then hibernate the PC. I minimise FSX so that all the carefully placed FSX panel windows keep thier position. I just spotted the 8gig hibernate.sys file today during o&o defrag, its takes up 8Gig in a fast part of the hdd. Quite expensive if you dont use hibernate.

For what its worth, in Win 7 perf mon you can see cores being parked and then restarted as you cruise in FSX, and i prefer not to see that text "Core X Parked" at any point during flight, so i always disable core parking. The setting in the core parking tool i use is not retained through reboot though, wouldnt mind a way to disable core parking permanently for my FSX PC. Nice feature for everyday use PC though.

get IO bit Game booster, it will shut down all the stuff not needed for gaming, and you can make modifications.

Looks like SSD's are much less reliable than HDD. I got one, and it failed while copying 60 gig of FSX folder to it. I never tried to purchase another SSD since, went raptor instead. On the point of fsx on system drive or not, i support fsx on its drive cause 1. Backup is easier, upgrading fsx drive etc 2. Looking at win7 perf monitor recently whilst tracking cause of fps dips. The only thing blowing through the roof of perf mon graphs was disk access. In particular fsx drive with fsgx and system drive too was very busy. Had spare 1T samsung storage drive, moved all its storage to ext HDD, then made it FSXG+REX+AS2012+rc4 Moving those to new drive, making 3 drives system/fsx/addons. Now in perf mon system and FSX drives are still very busy , but max out much less. this together with Word Not Allowed's up to date and simple tweak guide is currently looking very smooth, but early testing so far. The point is, while cruising and checking win7 perf mon, of all the varibales, CPU,Network,Disk,Memory, Disk was the only variable bursting the charts, hnece the reason for spreading the load to third drive. So i think the smoothest fps approach is 1. System drive, with very little else that could be active when fsx is on 2. FSX drive, nothing else...(my raptor often cant keepup with access to scenery folder in FSX alone) never mind when i had FSGlobal 2010 installed on same drive. 3 Drive for FSX addons AS2012, rc4, rex (rc4 too can be quite a HDD hug but only for breif periods, but heavy)

Hi JD RC4 is a great tool, and unlike a lot addons these, it works like it was tested in detail, excellent product. But for my experience with JD license i cant say the same. IN order to reduce load on my system drive moved rex,as2012 and rc4 , reinstalled all in new drive same PC. Rex and As2012 licenses were ok, but the JD license failed, and i have had to request new license to use software i already purchased on same PC with no hardware changes. Please help us improve the licesne situation to adapt with fsx users needs to reconfigure thier PC platform as and when needed without having to request a new liscence for every move i make.

My preffered method as to climb to around 40K, then gradually rate it to 16x, this is for long haul 6000nm or more. In bad weather running at 16x could cause crash very quickly, so dpending on weather set sim acceleration, say x2 or 4 in bad weather. The higher the sim acceleration, the more work and hotter you cpu will get, so if your OC not stable to handle 16x, youll find out. I used to use x4 for long flights, but that was still too slow for me, prefer to speed up the cruise, and its fun

For what its worth i have made the chnage, and its nice to see fsx drive data request queue not going thorugh the roof as much anymore. Nice to see the previously dormant drive taking some of the HDD load. One of best ways to fix stutters in FSX is to perf monitor when to track resources when stutters occur.

Thanks for that

Hi I have FSX+FSGX 2010 installed on same drive, want to move current install of fsglobal to new drive, to reduce demand on FSX drive. what is the easiest way to move fsglobal to another drive, is it 1. Copy FSGX2010 folder to new drive 2. Start FSX -> in scnery library window, update FSGX scenery areas to point to new location. 2b.Someone mentioned i need to edit scenery.cfg file, but no clue what edit to make. 3. Are there any other steps to this 4. And importantly how do you confirm its installed/moved ok. The point of this exercise is to reduce high demand on FSX drive, where FSGX is also currently installed. Spotted this using WIn7 Perf Monitor.

Anybody using Opus with Rex Textures Please compare OPus+Rex textures VS As2012+Rex Textures. Rex you guys have improved, maybe not the weather engine, but i only used to use rex textures, but the weather GUI of rex that shows just the info you need (storm turbulence etc) i think its great. Opus/Hifi and Rex need to team up.

Thanks for the repaints guys, i have downloaded JetStar/BA and Quantas. JetStar is the Best

yes i use mtx , will give mtx dx10 a try, thanks for the tip i hope setting dx10 for mtx is an option in mtx

Had same issue at default EGLL in DX10,also Aerosim 787 cabin fair white interior turns blinding white in DX10. But the cockpit is fine. I always use eggl for testing new tweaks cause its where i get lowest frames in the sim, and DX9 appears tobe smoother than DX10 in egll. Might need to test again with same cfg i used for dx9, wihtout all the chnages made to cfg for dx10, to give a fairer comparison. Also top of the airport building in eggl are flashing, this could be linked to the low frames and jerks in DX10, aircraft turning is the most jerky part. smooth in my dx9 same airport but i admit slightly different cfg. So when got some time will try with exact same cfg. Basically updated my cfg with things like usepools = 0 and other recomendations for dx10 update to cfg, but results where worse than whta i see in my dx9 with its cfg. I have not tested the latest dx10 fix version in avsim library, just the latest posted on this thread, think it was second version. But as of that version i advice, do your setup to use dx9 or dx10 easily, keep your options open for now.
