What plane or addon are you flying with? Usually you take off with auto thrusters armed..... You have given no other information...please specify

I think i speak for many many simmers out there when I say Toronto (CYYZ) needs a scenery addon.....Its one of North Americas biggest city and there virtually no good addons out there....

Hello all, My best friend is a flight attendant for Air Canada and time to time he shares real sound effects with me. I use these sound effects for GSX when boarding and de-boarding....Thought I'd share these because it has added a cool experience to my flights. Just rename these .wav files to anything you are replacing in GSX....don't forget to backup the original! For now I have a boarding replacement and a de-boarding replacement. The boarding announcement is in french and the deboarding announcement is in both english and french. The link below is a .zip file that contains the mp3's and wav's depending on which sounds you replace (doesn't have to be GSX). Hope this adds a touch of realism to your sim! Cheers https://www.dropbox.com/s/mj4p69u6ufqs9ax/Authentic%20Sound%20FX.zip

Good luck! Sorry It didnt work out :( Its a pain reinstalling but it helps in performance too i guess....We have all done this lol.... Cheers

make a new tab in your fsx folder (iewing filter for "Date created") Look at the all the files that are in there and see if you missed some or some ones that your not familiar with....

I dont have a GTX but sometimes with my ATI 7950 at crz after a few hours I lose LOTS of frames....I turn on my fans and i bring my GPU down to 55-65 degrees and I go back and my FSX is how it started.... Also, I found re-cycleing my priority in my task manager helps with this as well....so set the priority to normal and then realtime and then back to high or normal..I know it may sound wierd but this usually helps on my system....ATI 7950, i7 3930k @ 4.4

What I would do is pop in the FSX install disc and do a repair.....you wont need to reinstall the whole sim but it will replace ONLY all the ORIGINAL files of the install.....Also I found after getting a lot of Fatal Errors at start I delete my FSX.cfg file and then it re-cycles a lot of paths and options and for me it has fixed a lot of my fatal errors at start. If you have a lot of fsx.cfg tweeks just copy and paste them in a new text file so you remember which ones you have. Also keep in mind if you have a lot of hardware with buttons and key assignments press NO when FSX prompts you if you want to remap or else you will lose all your button mappings.....This prompt only comes up after you delete your FSX.cfg.... I would try the FSX.cfg recreation first and then I would repair my FSX.... Deleting just the files manually at times is prone for problems (especial fatal errors at start) Hope this helps you. Cheers.

I am selling my 7950! im going to go to an nVidea.....simming is a big part of my life and i think its time i stop these tests and just get out there and grab a very good nVidea GPU. Its a shame! Cuz the 7950 is a tank with everything else....just not fsx :( Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk

Unfortunatly no solution yet :( The only fix if u have an ATI card is go back to DX9 ..... its a shame....i cant beleive a whole community has been trouble shooting this thing and we haven't found an official fix.... The only thing that helps at the moment (but not full proof) is setting water to low 2x and un-checking the water shader in the fix (to last even longer without artifacts)..... Keep trouble shooting boys! Dont give up. We have another member doing tests now Cheers. Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk

Does useing smaa for ur aa increase performance at all for u? Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk

Another thing I would like to note is that when these artifacts appear Im not getting any performance hit at all..... I have realized that its also a lot to do with angles.....When I pan a little left a flat sheet of texture/artifact can vanish...and when I pan back it can appear again, controlling its appearance.....my performance stays in-tacked and not effected...

I did this test and with LOD 6.5 and 2 hrs into my flight (4x aa in fixer, medium PC in REX, Radeon pro useing app settings with 16x supersample) and I got them again, My water shader and cloud shader is unchecked in the fixer as well as water on low.2 They just returned :( I think im going to go back to DX9 very soon :( This is getting ridiculous.

Ur link is not working. It says the file isnt available Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk now Free

Cant wait to test this!.....what do u think this is doing to stop the artifacts? And does it have to stay on low 2x? Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk now Free

My dx10 fix only has options for 2x, 4x or 8x AA nothing else Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk now Free

Mine cannot dissapear once they start and conitnue for the whole time i have fsx open....i need to close fsx and restart it for spikes and artifacts to leave... :( Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk now Free Ya but they have to settle like i am as well.....low2x water isnt quite eye candy :( Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk now Free

I will try this and check it out...thanks fot shareing! Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk now Free

I guess everyone is giving up and setteling lol :( The other day 3 hrs or so into my flight with low 2x. water settings the artifacts spikes and tears came back....so the low2x water setting isnt quit a "fix" I wish Steve can help us at least better understand whats happening here.

Ya I guess lol... Can you please send me your fsx.cfg and your radeon pro settings that work best for you? I wanna compare Thanks :lol:

I just want somone to fix this thing.....I cant take it anymore...it makes me want to sell my 7900 series and buy a Nvidea :(

:mad:

With shader on or off?

It is 99.9% the water. Water for ati users will simply have to look average when flying dx10 :( lol.....i fly island to island in greece over water all the time and i like having that wow effect. At low 2x i just dont get it....also i thought the angle of lights would stop dissapearing....im still seeing vanishing lights with utx and on the pappis....specifically with flytampa athens Ive tried your idea Steve about that water shader but anything at all to do with shaders (magoisofts shade, anything enb, strikings watershader) it goes buzzerk even with water set to low 2x. In the mean time i guess we should maybe all start contacting ATI and let them know so a possible update on their next driver would fix this issue properly? P.s on an earlier post i wrote i was getting these spikes even with low 2x. But i want to add that i had a enb file in my fsx folder causing that. It wss removed and now im 100% spike and artifact free with low 2x (bitter sweet) Chat soon bewtiful people of avsim. Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk now Free

I was happy. but I just did a 3 hour flight and their back....my frames are like dropping and im not over heating or over stressing anywhere....not even on sliders....I have water low 2x and no water shader :( DX9 here I come. I can't take this any more lol

Hello! This is what i do... If i remember correctly Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\ShadersHLSL\misc\swarmcloud.fx open it and locate: bool NewMaterialUsage = true; change true; to false; Hope it helps cheers.
