bump.. looks no-one is interested in a Damage Mod for Carenado's CT210....

Question as simple as that. Found POH for many Cessnas at: http://www.redskyventures.org/free_stuff.php And there is only one for the non-turbo M-variant (C210M) Why I ask? Just found a discrepancy on the Carenado's supplied document and this POH: VLE (Maximum landing gear extended speed) is 195kt on Carenado's Reference and 140kt on the C210M POH. Any light on this? If you help mme, i MIGHT make a damage mod for this wonderful plane. Thanks guys!!!

+1, I am interested as well, but can't find your checklists. Where are they?

bump..

<p>Yes!! And also check Nick Needham's guide for Ultra-Tuning Windows. Everything is explained there, what to do after your windows fresh install. That goy is really knowledgeable, and certainly is a FSX authority Nickn's guide: http://www.simforums.com/forums/setting-up-fsx-and-how-to-tune-it_topic29041.html Just in case you have GBs to spare, I heavily recommend CloneZilla for making whole partitions/Disks backups, just in case you want to restore FSX after making a mess. it works from a Pen-Drive!</p> <p> </p> <p>EDIT: ooops, looks like Nick's guide was posted just before. anyway, I stress once again it is really useful.</p>

Hey guys!! I'm drawing Battleplans for my future FSX-dedicated rig, and came with this little doubt: I'm planning on Mid-Overclock i5 3570K (no more that 4.5GHz, needs to last 3 or 4 years) and de-lidding it. Aftermarket AirCooler too. check below I Came across AsRock Z77 Extreme4 ¡OR! Extreme4M. I have read good reviews about both mothers. Fact is that Extreme4M has 8+4 Power Phase, while the M has only 4+2. (NOTE that I have read they are all ANALOG PWM not digital, as AsRock markets both as DIGItal. check this: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1700041) So my question is: for that mid-overclock on air cooling, would the Extreme4M overclock the same as Extreme4 despite the power phase difference?? Regarding to ports i don't need the non-M additional ports. But I may save a couple of bucks and better airflow inside my Rig with a MicroATX board. Cheers and thanks much in advance!! Nicolás ****ADDITIONAL DATA in case you want to know: *i5 3570k already said. Planning on De-Lidding, replacing SuperCrappy stock TIM with Coolaboratory Liquid ULTRA (not Pro!) *coolerMaster 212 Hyper EVO (or, if I have the cash: Noctua NH-D14). *1 monitor only, no three-thingies for now *EVGA GTX-660 non-TI FTW! Signature 2 (maybe overkill for 1 monitor, but that question would in another forum . Was planning on the 760 when it came out). maybe ASUS *counterpart too. *Case, PSU and monitor not relevant, but haven't decided yet. Case will have more fans for 2 hard Drives, maybe 3. no SSD. ***********this is a "tentative" Rig, nothing has been bought yet.

Man, it may be better to stick with 2*4GB RAM Dual-Channel. Aim to at least 1600MHZ and CAS9 Latency. maybe not the best suggestion i can make, but your rig specs seems so damn good i need to tell you this. Remember: FSX NEVER uses more than 4GB and Windows may not need 4GB at all. Go buy them as a kit, not the two separately. Hope to help (first post in this forum! ) Dual-Channel doubles the data rate between the memory controller and the RAM themselves. that's why 2*4GB is the best bet. It's no use having 16GB in a single stick

Glad to see your PC works despite the flooding. Best wishes on your next cooler! Nicolás

hey there my fellow simmers!! i love the CarenadoSkywagon, just i don't love that it doesn't have DME. So i came with a workaround with the default Bendix King Radio Stack gauge (2D). This is an alternative to bliksimpie's DME and ADF combined gauge. Just came with this crazy idea and made it happen. Check this example below: To simulate old-school bush flying, i removed the GPS and instead put this DME gauge as panel N°2. *****BACKUP THE PANEL.CFG FIRST! just in case you don't like/goes wrong Replace the [Window01] section of your panel.cfg with this one. This will replace the GPS with the DME. if you want to replace another gauge, just copy it to another section (for example: replace [window08] and/or whatever; got it?) if you want you can change the window's name, at the beggining of the panel.cfg it says [window Titles], change the corresponding window number with a new name (DME or whatever) So okay! here goes my contribution to the "Cause"! and as usual... Cheers and happy flying!

loooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!

Hey guys! what are your opinion 'bout an i5 3570k versus an i7 3570k ? Would like to hear it

CoolP, I want to echo your comment. This kind of posting will not be much fruitful and can generate great discomfort if one of the developers of the listed products comes across this post. Great effort is required for creating addons and criticizing their jobs would be painful.

Hello there! Just a little suggestion: put your FPS locked at a dividend (language error here) of your monitor refresh rate... is it 60Hz? then lock FPS at 30, 20, 15 whatever. This is recommended by 'bojote'. one of the top-tweakers round here. I have mine locked at 18 too (but because 20 is too much strain and 15 gets too choppy so no hypocresy! ), Glad to see you enjoying FSX! my crappy laptop struggles to handle. no ORBX, no HD craft... as we say in our country: "I healthily envy you" :D Cheers and keep happy flying! Nicolás

There is a program that checks for corrupt entries in the logbook and fixes it. if that down't work, try deleting it but don't lose hope: you can look for some logbook editors to get back what you had in the broken one. there goes my 2 cents. Good luck! Nicolás

Hi there fellow simmers! If you check my specs you can see i have a rather indecent Rig for fsx (a laptop with an ATI card (!)) So I have embarked on a quest for lightest FSX possible. I am currently tacklin' 2 hogs: Carenado C208 Grand Caravan and PMDG JetStream J41. All i want is to make the textures (outside and Virtual cockpit) more FPS-friendly. Truth is, I do not have any texture-managing knowledge. How should I start? Anybody can hand over some clues? I'm also looking for some light clouds, but that should go in another thread, maybe. Any help is appreciated. Thank you and have happy flying! Nicolás

it's a Cessna 337 Skymaster

Nice ones, Dude! nice that 337 too. So you say you like clouds. Don't want to stray off-topic, but I recently embarked on a quest for high-FPS clouds (for FSX). know some? Cheers and happy flying (or happy snapshotting)! Nicolás

This calls for a title. "Aviation Climax: Flying doesn't get much better" Breathtaking pic!! Nicolás

Chris, I'm joining your quest as well.I can't run FSX very well! maybe FS9 has better luck on my laptop. Man that is awesome! Surely FS9 is lighter (i.e. more FPS), but what else does it has to offer compared with FSX? How about flight dynamics, textures, autogen...? Also, Chris: What has made you embark this quest? Cheers and have happy flying! Nicolás

loooool congratz on the 4000th! keep it up! Nicolás

Thanks for your input, Brett; Actually weather was fine. I should had said CAVOK instead. no IMC I used VOR/DME to navigate, as I was not familiar with the zone. This was my exact trip: I took off and gained altitude until I got the ANC VOR/DME, I flew the radial that would get me to PAZK until the appropiate distance, AND THEN when I spotted the airstrip I proceeded VISSUALY So you see, IFR at the beginning and then proceeded VFR? what's your opinion, Brett? Thanks and as my custom: "Cheers and happy Flying!" Nicolás

Hi people! I recently made a flight in Alaska Anchorage (AK24 to PAZK). I followed ANC (Anchorage) VOR/DME to get the location of PAZK. Is this IFR? Is this VFR? I (think I ) know what are both, and their differences, but this just seemed to be a hybrid of them both (does it exists?) Weather was 20NM visibility, few clouds at, say, 5000ft. strong crosswinds (~20nm)... so no visibility or icing problems. Any input from a RW pilot or somebody knowledgeable is appreciated. Cheers and happy flying! Nicolás

Oh my God... Oh my God, Oh my God.......... I'm looking for my piggy rightnow. Why overclock my laptop when I can have better look and less FPS? THIS is business!

Hey there.. I managed to merge the RealAir C172 FDE with Carenado's 172. This is how yo can do it, in case you dont know how: Just download the RealAir 172 (it is freeware!) and look for its .air file. Make a backup of Car's (Carenado...) 172 .air file. rename something like "SingleEngineProp.air.CARENADO". Just in case. Copy the R.A. .air file to Car's folder, rename it to "SingleEngineProp.air" and your done! As i'm not a Real World Pilot I can't really say which is closer to the real thing, but I had heard lots of good t hings about R.A. FDE Any RW pilots that tries this: I would love to hear your imput. Cheers and happy flying! Nicolás

Hi there. There are some options to consider. Bernt Stolle has made a wonderful FDE (according to comments and Bernt's reputation ) but it is for the default FSX 172. I have Carenado 172 and am interested in a better FDE as well (no complaints to Carenado!! just to have something better). Don't know if it works with Car's. Let's remember that RealAir 172 is for FS9, and Carenado's 172 for FSX (or FS9 as well, watch out). If everyone had made it work on FSX, i would love to hear it from. Here are my US$ 1/50 (2 cents ) Cheers and happy flying! ltnicolas
