Hi. Thanks for the response. Actually, I managed to get it to work in the end... I needed to hit the 'CDI' button to toggle between Nav and GPS.

Hi, Just got the 210 today and loving it. However I can't figure out how to get it to follow a flight plan. I am creating a plan in Plan-G and then loading that into my flight... when the flight loads, the plan is all set in my GPS, but I can't get the aircraft to follow it.... tried the auto pilot, no luck. Where am I going wrong? The PDFs included don't help at all. Any advice appreciated. Thanks. Andy

Hi Paul, Here you go... plus PC specs added to my signature.

Flashing seems to be with all ORBX runways. I'm wondering if it's an AntiAliasing issue? If I fly around the airfield at ~500-1000ft in a tight turn, the airfield textures look ok from some angles and then all of a sudden, the runway, apron and windsock circle (I'm test flying at Anacortes) all start flashing with jagged white polygons like in my picture. Right now I'm testing, so I have everything dialled down in terms of autogen, traffic, peopleflow etc. So I'm sure it's not system resources that are the issue. All essential settings from the airport installation guide are set appropriately.

Hi Paul. Thanks. Unfortunately, I don't think you put the links in for the shader folders so I can't access them. Regarding the horizon, it's not hazy horizon that's the issue - if you look carefully at the bottom left area of the Duke picture, you can see some artifacts perpendicular to the horizon. In flight this looks quite noticeable. And as for the runways, it's definitely something underneath the runway surface that's flashing through depending on the angle you view it from. I'm starting to wonder if it's an AA issue?

Hi everyone, Slowly working my way through Paul's excellent tuning document, specifically the DX10 part. Have set up the basics as far as page 21 and am now test-flying. Have started to notice several graphical anomalies, some of which are new and some of which were there in DX9 mode. Would really appreciate some help or pointers on where the root causes are likely to be. I've attached some screenshots at this link to help illustrate the problems. Brief description of each below: I'm using ORBX PNW and test flying from Anacortes (ORBX payware) in Alabeo Extra 300 and RealAir Duke B60. Also using REX 2.0 Essentials and EzDok Camera. Pic 1 & 2: Have noticed the runway textures flash noticeably when viewed from any camera other than the virtual cockpit. It's as though the ORBX texture is fighting with the default / REX texture underneath and they can't decide which one should be on top. Strange how isn't doesn't happen from the VC though. Have unticked runway textures in REX but not sure, as that the have been loaded once, if this unloads them. Pic 3 & 4: Doing setup with clear skies as per the guide. Have noticed in any tight or moderate turn that I can see the sky being shaded at the extremities of the screen. Surprised as my hardware has handled some pretty heavy weather in the past that it seems to be struggling to keep up with a plain blue sky!? Pic 5: Momentarily, when switching from an exterior camera back to the VC, I get this weird effect on the windows and instruments. In DX9, I sometimes got everything 'greyed out' while the textures loaded, but not this. Only happens in the RealAir aircraft. My hardware spec: i7-2600K @ 3.8GHz / Asus P8Z77-V / Corsair AX850 / 8GB Mushkin Redline 7-7-7-24 / GTX580 1.5Gb / HyperX 120Gb SSD / Samsung F3 1TB / VelociRaptor 300Gb (FSX) / FSX Acceleration / Win7 64 HP Any thoughts gratefully received!! Andy

Hey Paul, Thanks for the speedy and comprehensive reply (by the way, I wouldn't call it rambling, I'd call it detail - and detail is good!) I'll take some time to work through that and set it up properly. Will get right back if I need any more help. I may also be in touch regarding some overclocking advice in due course if that's ok? I see we have a near identical set-up, except you're running at 5GHz and I'm still stock (although it seems to run happily at 3.8GHz straight out of the box). Thanks again, Andy

Hello, I've been working through the newly posted tuning guide including the DX10 tips and tweaks with promising results. Thanks to those involved! However, I tried AlacrityPC with less success - I can only seem to find version 1 and it only has Vista and XP profiles (none for Win7) so not sure if there's a later version I should be using? Perhaps stupidly, I actually went and hit 'START' on the vista profile, expecting to get some configuration options but was a little alarmed to see it launch into shutting down processes. My concern now is that I don't know what it shut down and whether or not I need to start them back up again!?!? Are defaults restored once I re-start the PC or are these processes now shut down permanently? Any advice gratefully received! Thanks, Andy
