Glad I could help.

Looks like we are in a very similar situation :) I mentioned this post in my PMDG support ticket too.

This updater (found in the logs): http://downloads.pmdg.com/produpdate/p4d/updater/PMDG_Updater_738_P3D.exe

Had a look at the logs and this is what the log says when I tried to update: 20:18:08.539 Load complete.

Hi Rob, I am also having the exact same issue and followed the same steps with no luck either. Are you able to download liveries? I can't on my end (exact same symptoms - no action being taken by Operation Manager) . Looking at the logs, it says "Download failed"; however, I am able to reach the direct URL of the livery file and manually install it. Please keep us posted. Thank you.

Thanks for the tips guys. I think PoolSize=0 does not matter if you got usepool = 0. right ? (that's what increased my framerate by 2-4 fps). I've never tried the vsync tweak nor reloading the cwm.exe, I'll give it ago ASAP. Thanks again.

Bingo ! Thank you all and especially aentwis ! I now have 20-22fps on active runway at YMML with the PMDG 737. it's much more smoother. after few meters, I'm reaching 28-30fps and airborn well it's a full pretty much constant 30fps. What I did is add the UsePool=0 addition as well as updating my NVIDIA inspector settings (http://www.simforums.com/forums/settings-for-new-drivers-updated-v1959_topic36586.html). I've also followed #####'s guide but just for the internal framerate lock. (not using FPS limiter anymore). I've tried with all the tweaks mentionned in the article and lost about 2fps so I revert back but keeping very few elements. (affinity and fps lock). Thank you again.

Thanks ! I was hoping for another reply something like "With the same specs I get 30fps ! here is how to do it :" When I'm airborn, I get around 22-25fps. I thought I could get a bit more.

Hi All, I have been stopping myself to post a message in the forum hoping I could do something about the issue by myself but I have not managed to do that. So here I am ! Here are my specs : I7 930 overclocked to 4ghz. 12GB ram GTX 480 (Asus). ASUS P6TX58 My problem comes from ENB Series and/or FPS limiter. I can use both of them without any issue until the end of the flight when I access the menu (replay, map, end of flight etc..). The screen goes black, I can still hear everything, the computer is still responsive. I can still end the flight by pressing escape, the dialog appears. I have been looking for ages for a solution and tried pretty much everything I could find (Alt + enter, pressing the windows button, alt + tab etc..) and none of them worked so I resigned and deactived ENB and FPS limiter but it does not look as nice. Not sure what to do anymore and I start to believe that it's a hardware problem. I'd love to get some help ! Thank you. Sylvain.

Hi All, I have been stopping myself to post a message in the forum hoping I could do something about my framerate in FSX by myself but I have not managed to do that. So here I am ! Here are my specs : I7 930 overclocked to 4ghz. 12GB ram GTX 480 (Asus). ASUS P6TX58 Addons : PMDG 737 (obviously ) REX overdrive (no essentials) Active Sky 2012 ORBX YMML (for the test) ENB Series (I have issue with that one. I can fly using it but I get black screen when I access the menu/use replay etc.. especially when I fly in high details area/by night or other stressing situation for the computer) FPS Limiter (same as above, I suspect it's coming from the d9d3.dll and my graphic card, they don't like each other so I tend to deactive both of them). I deleted the FSX.cfg and use the online tool (Venetubo) and that's about it. I've also used Nvidia inspector and use the 4S configuration. (for anti aliasing and anisotropic selected in FSX, framerate unlimited) Frame rate at YMML on active runway : 15-18fps. Autogen : normal My first question is : is that a common framerate ? If yes, well too bad for me I might need another machine. if no, is there anyone with pretty much the same config that could share some tips with me ? I love this plane and would like to enjoy it as much as it deserves it. That would be much appreciated. Thank you and let me know if you need more info. Sylvain.
