Thanks for the attempt but it cannot be hard coded (unchangeable) since some FSX secenery software developers have the dust and nights appear at various times, other than what you get with the default. Scenery street lights and building lights do come on is some scenery at the same time, or building lights before street lights. Thanks, Walt

How do you adjust the actual time of day that the "dust, night, an dawn" textures actual display. I would like for my "buildings" night textures to come on and display night texture at the same time as my street lights (usually at the start of dawn). At present in FSX the street lights are visible at the start of dawn. but the downtown building that light up night until about an hour later. How do I get them to both come on at the same time. In real life building lights are seen even before the street lights come on where I live. Can anyone figure this out? Thanks, Walt

Thanks Firehawk44 Problem Solved. Letting FSX rebuild the CFG file corrected the problem. I have no idea how things got out of wack and caused this problem but I'm grateful to have it fixed. Thanks Firehawk44, Walt

On FSX start up everything seems fine except when I go to the "FREE FLIGHT" screen the display is blank. The music,aircraft,weather,location,time,etc all seem normal accept the display area where the turning aircraft should be is blank. If I wait a while and just press "fly now" it will quickly start to load and CTD. Everything was going fine and the last thing I can remember trying to do was to re-install the New York Airports X scenery. After a restart I now have this problem. System: FSX, W7/64 SANDYBRIDGE,SP1&2,REX,UT2,ORBX,GLOBAL/VECTOR,etc As you know,like many simmer: I can hardly sleep,eat,or do the nasties, until I get this figured out. Any help would be appreciated. Walt

I usually fly during the day only because I don't like the dark of night. But I do like the lights. Question: Is there a way to keep the time-laps going and fly the "dust" scenery until "dawn" without going through the night scenery? Or can you just disable the night textures and fly the "dusk" texture until "dawn"? Any thoughts on how to achieve this in FSX? Thanks, Walt

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. I have a sandy bridge overclock'd to4.7 windows7/64 and tried to equip it with the most powerful hardware and memory to be able to run FSX with the display setting at maximum (except for clouds,ac shadow, etc) But according to what you're saying, a 64bit system with 16GB of mem is mostly not used. And even though FSX is all loaded into SSD memory, it really doesn't help much with the speed of FSX (accept scenery load time) And ram overflow to SSD does not gain much either. Looks like I'd be just as well off to go back to 4 or 8 GB's of ram and just spread my scenery over 2 or 3 fast hard drives rather than the expense of SSD's. I can certainly lower my LOD,s because I only fly large Airbus A380 and A320 Extended X. Is this TRUE? Under these FSX circumstances what would be the ideal Window7 memory paging and setting? Does letting the System automatically manage paging for FSX and all drives? Even for FSX when windows7 manages the paging, does it not allocate space on the HD as virtual memory to treat as ram? Any help would be appreciated. Walt

That's right, I'm running a high end system with 16GB's of memory and FSX on a 500GB SSD drive. Yet when I fly into heavy areas like LAX of SFO I always run on of memory. The system says "The simulator has run out of memory and must be restarted" I have had this problem off and on for over a year. I know this topic has been discussed before and I've tried everything involving ram allocation without success. So if anyone could provide some help I would happy and start flying again. Thanks for any suggestions, Walt
