  1. thank you for your responses, I have been helped by a Facebook member who sorted my problem. I was exasperated because I asked ORBX themselves and got no response at all. I am also in a service based industry and even if I'm sick of answering the same questions over and over, each client gets the dignity of a response (even if just redirecting them to the relevant info). in any case I have had it resolved. thank you all again for your interest.
  2. So disappointed in ORBX! I sent 3 support requests from the 6th Dec through to the 12th Dec asking if there is anywhere else I can purchase FTX UK as I can not get onto FSS, but they don't bother to respond... if they give zero support to a prospective customer I can only imagine the lack of interest if you have already spent your money with them.
  3. hi all, just wondering if the cowl flaps actually are modeled? I take off and perform cruise with them full open, half and full closed and dont see a difference in the temps at all... am i missing something? thanks
  4. thanx for all the input guys, i switched screens with another HDTV and have found the VC sharp and as beautiful as i had hoped it would be... now i am thinking instead of getting another screen I will get an HD projector cos I'm going to be starting my 737 home cockpit build tomorrow. I have already got the materials...now i am going to take a few months(years maybe, if I'm to believe the stories on the net) and build a cockpit... i have now tethered 3 screens to my system with no problem and am going to add a 4th and maybe a 5th screen to complete the MIP, I have already undocked and dragged the gauges onto the 2 other screens and tested it in flight and it works great. the challenge i have now is to figure out how to CAREFULLY delete the VC background bitmaps and keep the gauges intact so that i can drag them onto the screens in the MIP and then have just the scenery projected on the wall in front of me. if anyone has an idea how to do this or can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful. again thanx for all the advice on the screen res... I'm sorry it was a "dumb fix" :blush:
  5. at least i know I'm not being unreasonable haha. i have a feeling its my screen...going to switch it with another screen just to check over the weekend
  6. still blurry here :( and at Zoom level 0.8 its still blurry
  7. Sorry for late reply been out of cell range so had no Internet. The screen is a HD tv (Sinotec 32") running off a HDMI cable to a GeForce 210 512mg GPU. The res was set to 1280x1050 (if I remember correctly) because when its set to 1920 then the screens aspect ratio is wrong and it cuts off the lower and sides of the viewable area, the aspect can't be alerted unfortunately... So I'm thinking it may be that. I'll have a look at that, thanks for the advice. Thank you , I'll google how to do that.
  8. Hi guys, Sorry if this has been addressed previously but I did some searching and can't find the answer. The labels in the VC in the 737 800 NGX are very blurry in any zoom under 0.9 ,even at 0.9 some text like the FMC text is blurry... Not the digital numbers but the white text on the metal and the labels on the buttons etc. It's being flown on a 34" HD Sinotec TV with a HDMI cable to a Geforce 210 512MB GPU and 2.8GHz CPU and 2 Gigs Ram. Also the FSX settings are on max for the global textures so the VC should be awesome I thought. It flies smoothly but the VC just becomes very blurry under 0.9 zoom and that zoom level is too tight to fly on. Any advice would be appreciated, if its my system, the settings, just the way the VC is at zoom levels below 0.9 or something I'm missing. Thanx Rory
