Thanks, HiFlyer. Jeff

Hi. Will AFFS2 work with both Windows 7 and 10? Thanks, Jeff

Iti's possible. The seemed to have done that with the Aero Commander. Jeff

Thanks, Dean. I was thinking so, but wasn't sure. Jeff

ASUS Maximus VIII Hero Jeff

Hi. I just downloaded 2.6. Do I need to uninstall 2.5 before I install 2.6? Thanks, Jeff

Thanks, Mitch. Jeff

Hi. If I have all of the regions active in FTX Central, can't I just use the Scenery Library to turn the regions I want on and off? Thanks, Jeff

Thank you, sir. Jeff

Richard, thanks for the tip. Just downloaded it. Are there any tricks I need to know to get this to work in P3D v3.2.3? Thanks. Jeff

Well, thanks guys. i found it. I think the way things appeared on my screen I didn't see to scroll on down in the CPU Configuration. That's all I can figure. Almost missed it again this time. Of course, it didn't help when Asus people twice gave me wrong information on their product. Again, thanks. I feel much better now. Jeff

Thanks very much for the reply, Steve. I'm probably just getting down to nitpicking, but curious all the same. Chris, thanks for the reply. I had looked everywhere I could think of in the BIOS and couldn't find anything. Then I called Asus Tech.Supt. twice and both times they said that board did not provide for turning HT on/off in the BIOS. Actually, a lesser Asus MB I have on another machine can turn HT on/off in the BIOS. That's what surprised me. If you have done this yourself, would you please let me know where the setting is and what Asus calls it? Thanks, Jeff

Hi, Steve. Just wanted to clarify something. I normally run with AM=116, HT on. It so happens that on my particular Asus MB, Maximus VIII Hero, I can't turn off HT in the BIOS (I probably would have chosen another MB for the purpose of experimentation if I had known this first). So, as I understand it AM=85 (and AM=14, I believe) are like having HT turned off. My question is: Is this exactly like turning off HT in the BIOS or just a "reasonable facsimile" workaround? Thanks, Jeff

Thanks for the reply. Well, yes, I thought what I was reading came from the manual as it was from Milviz and gave quite a few combinations for avionics in the 310, but since what you are talking about is in "beta" i guess this must be something else or maybe just older. Thanks, Mike, that's what I thought, but when I tried to install the avionics according to the Milviz documentation I got a prompt saying something like the installation of gauges was not successful. Now that maybe indicates I need to use the Update Tool from Flight 1 to update my GTN 750 which I had purchased a while back (but had updated fairly recently). When I saw the prompt I, at first, thought maybe I was missing the Milviz GNS 430,but if it's there by default that probably isn't the problem. Jeff

Hi. I was looking at some Milviz documentation for installing 3rd-party avionics on the Cessna 310R and how to alter the aircraft .cfg file for this. One of the combinations for this is the Flight 1 GTN Series, specifically the (GTN 750 + Milviz GNS 430) combination. Could someone please tell me where to find the Milviz GNS 430? I've looked on the Flight 1 website and don't see any mention of it. Actually, I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thank you very much for any help with this. Jeff Smith

Gregg, which model Vizio did you get? Thanks, Jeff

Hi. I'm using AM=116/6700K with great success. Jeff

I just recently went with 980Ti in SLI and with sliders almost all right and really bad weather (from P3D itself) I got about 25-30% increase from non-SLI. It actually surprised me that it was that much. I had just bought everything for my SLI setup, including motherboard (basically I ended up build a whole new computer), when the 1080 release was announced and was worrying if I had made a big mistake. So far I think I'll be OK, at least for quite a while. It's running very well. Now, the 1080Ti might be a different matter, especially in SLI. Jeff

Autofeather is a feature of the engines on some turboprop or piston engine aircraft. When the power being produced by the engine drops to the point where it is not contributing to thrust, the propeller will go into a feathered mode to reduce drag. The auto feather system also allows pilots to reduce the drag (changing pitch of blade so that it is parallel to airflow) of the propellers during an engine failure, therefore, allowing the plane to glide for a longer period of time. An automatic feathering system was first introduced on the Martin 4-0-4 aircraft, a piston engine airplane. The system was designed to automatically feather an engine that failed during takeoff or initial climb.

Hi. I have what I think is a strange problem when using SLI. If my frame-limiter in P3D is set to "Unlimited" (No VSync or TB) then there is a difference in usage of my two video cards. The first card will show Usage approximately 20-25% higher than the second card. The Power figures are essentially equal. This is using EVGA's PrecisionX 16 testing utility. Now, as I lower the frame-limiter the difference in usage becomes less until, at about 30FPS, the usage becomes equal or close to it. I've checked the two video cards separately and they seem to be equal in performance. Is there some logical technical reason this is happening or is something strange going on with my system. The sim seems to run great, very smooth with moderate to high settings and 8X SGSS, ORBX Global, Vector, and PNW Region, and My Traffic 6. With these settings and really nasty weather (P3D) I will be showing about 85-90% usage on each card with the limiter set at 28-30. My setup is Windows 7, 6700K oc to 4.6GHz., ASUS Maximus VIII Hero MB, 2-EVGA 980Ti SC cards, 361.43 driver, P3Dv3.2.3, and 1-50" 4K monitor. I would really appreciate any comments on this. Thanks very much. Jeff

Thanks, Stephen. I was afraid you would say that. I'm not fond of the idea of messing with the BIOS or chipset, but I understand. Jeff

Hi. I was wondering which has more effect on SLI operation: 1. BIOS version and chipset drivers OR 2. The graphics card driver Thanks for your help. Jeff

Hi. I was wondering if someone has used 353.30 or 353.62 with an SLI setup. If so, does it outperform some of the more recent drivers from 361.43 to the present? I've had great luck with it before, but never tried in SLI. I'm using 980Ti SC SLI here. Thanks, Jeff
