steep learning curve ahead it seems.

check your PM

I also found this particularly true on my system Whenever I use BP=0, I always make sure my target frame rate is locked and I use highwater2. "quote from the FSX customsining doc" Notes: Normally a locked framerate is required (30 set in fsx). BP=0 will cause artifacting and flashing if the ‘match’ is wrong. In this case, either set water to High 2.x, or set BP to “1” and add a RejectThreshold. Testing for size is a few hundred identical low-level flights with on-screen frame rates visible around a known frame-rate killer area, such as the city of Seattle. As the settings become “more correct” the frame-rate will increase, and the dips will lessen.

you can also read more here http://www.simforums.com/forums/drivers-nv-inspector-fsxcfg-complete-guide_topic36586.html Another good read is this document where point 6 explain the bufferpools. Download and read point 6. Although this is about DX10, it is a very detailed explanation on bufferpools http://www.nzfsim.org/index.php?dsp=dload&fname=DX10_HowTo.pdf Great, hope you get it sorted.

Just want to confirm what wanabflyer said. You cannot ever use usepools=0 with values in rejecthreshold and poolsize If you want to use the rejectthreshold and poolsize it will look like below. [bUFFERPOOLS] UsePools=1 Poolsize=8388608 RejectThreshold=126976 Also there is specific values that should be used. e.g. =524288 highest=262144 =126976 <---- this is what I start with for a safe value and RARELY ever have to use any different =98304 =65536 lowest Same thing for poolsize: You cannot just add any random number. do you have the HIGHMEMFIX added in your FSX.cfg [GRAPHICS] HIGHMEMFIX=1 this should be in ALL FSX.cfg files.. it was left out by Aces by mistake in SP2/Acceleration Have you read the FSX tweaking guide where this is properly explained http://forum.avsim.net/files/file/41-basic-fsx-p3d-configuration-guide/ Bufferpools is NOT the holy grain of fsx. It either work for you or NOT. Bufferpools – Not recommended except for tweaking Autogen. Autogen has a default texture buffer of 4 million (PoolSize=4000000) but this default function is not displayed in the FSX.cfg. If you want to change this value you will have to add the heading [bufferPools] and then, on the next line enter the new parameter. This will override the default setting set by Microsoft when they developed FSX. Setting the value to UsePools=0 means it will completely use the video card memory as the texture buffer. This could provide improvements to FSX with a very modern video card but may produce artifacts, memory spikes, and many times crashes. If you want to play with this parameter, you can simply search the Internet for Bufferpools FSX. We have seen too many issues by many who have tried this so-called ‘tweak’ so users should use caution when employing this parameter. So if you you really wanna try bufferpools starts with just [bufferPools] UsePools=0

So why not document it here for all your customers so that they dont have to go trail and error. I been advocating this long time to do in A2A 172/cherokee, where I use my own 530, but not having the RXP, i simply bypass the RXP with a "empty" rxpGNS.dll, and it worked. I think i told mr harris how to do it even before the mindstar was released. (he was testing for you guys, as I understood). but yeah I see you guys still struggle with elementary things. Over at A2A this has been posted now so many times. Same principle just use it for Realair. I use my own GPS530 with great success in VC and popup for Realair Duke and Turbine duke and A2A planes. Work like a charm. Actually it is so simple. People always complicate stuff.

In southern africa June is WINTER and December is Summer.

Thank you sooo much..! I really appreciate this fix. I really dont mind setting all sounds to "OFF" as long as old betty is no longer screaming at me.

I just love this new GNS 750, but because I am flying helicopter the TAWS alerts is driving me nuts. How do I switch it off. ? Any help much appreciated.

and another 3 years to fix something with a SP.

Would also have liked to purchase

ever tried Google "cessna 172 checklist" there are enough to keep you busy reading for a very long time..!!

Baytower still king..!

Also needing the link please.

After approval of original developer. you can get the files here. see instructions on top. i do not do support for these. http://www.mediafire.com/download/yh1cokpdyd8ydkh/172Things4.CAB http://www.mediafire.com/download/5v7dgc7ht3ob5c7/172Things5.cab

No there is no magic button to press for Cold and Dark. A script has been written to set it to cold and dark. search avsim libraries the C90 work pretty well in B200 http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=cold+and+dark&CatID=fsxutil&Go=Search

I can remember your post very clearly as I also did not like the prop animation showing that white stripe and I also remember Milviz developer answer, that it is impossible to do and will not be accomodated then or in the future. If not mistaken (I am 99.9999% sure) it was posted here on milviz avsim site. http://forum.avsim.net/topic/389080-b55-prop-disk/?hl=%2Bb55#entry2502576

ahh just installed SP2, and suddenly I remember why I uninstalled this otherwise brilliant plane. at idle/taxi speed there is this annoying "click" sound at end of some engine sound loop (sorry english is not my first langauge, so sorry if I use wrong term "click") it is definately a loop sound as it make this little sound every so many seconds. When flying with earphones you clearly hear it.. driving me nuts and I am not technical so have no idea to fix sound file. Sorry but this is the only plane I have that make this little sound.. sad to see it go again.. uninstalled

well bliksimpie don't frequent this site anymore according to an email exchange I had with him long time ago. I know he is still somewhat active on fsdevelopers forum Interesting that you mention it as I understood duke V2, have sounds for everything, but then again I have not yet made the purchase of the new V2. Just seen somewhere it was mentioned the V2 now have cockpit sounds.

the link below, will take you to the files http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=duke+&CatID=fsxsnds&Go=Search

Amen..!

amazing external.. BUT..!! I spend 99% of time inside cockpit and the VC is what makes a plane for me.. Pretty "toylike" gauges and panel. dont know why all the hype about this dc3 as I dont care how beautifull the external is.

Correction, ALL planes use XML because FSX use XML. XML is just a code. I think what you mean is planes that use FSX standard variables.

thank you

yes it is normal. I rarely get the "warning" bell for low power, but then again me and you might fly it differently.
