  1. More of a hardware issue than an MSFS one. What temperatures are you recording, both core temps and case temps? It's a real problem cooling these processors, which is probably behind many of the reported issues. While overheating should be controlled by built in throttling, it's not guaranteed to keep things running. The other thing to check is the PSU. Does it provide a stable output under load? Third thing is the memory. Have you overclocked it beyond XMP1? In any case, has it been tested at the settings you are using? It will be interesting to see what effect the new Bios has, on performance and stability.
  2. Just a thought. Have you tried it just connected to an ordinary television source, via an aerial, and also with streamed 4k, (disconnect the pc cable) to rule out a fault with the tv. Try it with programmes having various different lighting conditions. Many televisions of all brands these days seem to have rather variable quality control. Any doubts and the tv should be returnable. Could also be worth trying a different cable from pc to tv.
  3. Noted Charlie. It looks like it's a Firefox problem. There have been a number of oddities with Firefox recently. Hopefully they will be fixed before too long.
  4. I've noticed the same thing. I use firefox. It's intermittent and has been happening for some months now. On a multi page topic it will happen several times, but not on every page change.
  5. A good match for your processor would be a 1080ti which you might get for less than $150 used. A lower cost option and still a useful improvement on the 970 would be a 1070. This has 8Gb memory compared to the three and a half useable memory on the 970. You should get one for $100 or less. Obviously more modern cards are available but will cost more.
  6. Hollywood used to have a few slips with its continuity checking. There were at least a couple of old cowboy films where contrails could be seen in the blue sky.
  7. More information needed. What joystick? Is it one that uses its own calibration software? When you say 'Setting up', what did that involve? Where and how did you calibrate the joystick? Are you assigning and calibrating through P3D, or using FSUIPC or other software. Is this problem with all aircraft or perhaps just with an addon aircraft? Check P3D / Controls / Axis assignments. Are any other things assigned to the elevator and aileron axes causing a conflict.
  8. The effect is similar to going through a patch of clear air turbulence. The groundspeed will obviously change significantly and be reflected in the aircraft navigation systems. The airspeed will typically flutter a little bit, as it often does in CAT from other causes. This is not usually significant or long lasting. It's often the result of temperature differences in the two air masses. The change in groundspeed in itself has no aerodynamic effect on the aircraft, but indirect effects due to the other factors causing the change in grounspeed may be noticed.
  9. This looks like an overhyped promotion with worrying implications. I have never found the NCP to be slow in any way. He must have a problem with his system. The presentation of the current NCP is perfectly logical and useable. I am not impressed by most new software interfaces, designed by kids to appeal to kids. They rarely function any better than older interfaces. I have never found any need or use for G Force Experience and there used to be regular reports on Avsim about it causing problems for some users. I have never had to log in to use the NCP or to get new drivers from Nvidia. He seems to be quoting problems that don't exist. I have a feeling that we may be about to lose the ability to pick and choose which drivers we can use and being able to download them without G Force Experience being imposed on us. And of course, the possibility of enforced updates.
  10. I had 2 updates on 14 February after which I had problems. I run Windows 10, 22H2 and the updates were Windows cumulative KB5034763 and .Net Framework cumulative KB5034685. Because I wanted to get the cockpit back in use quickly, I used system restore to 14 Feb before the 2 updates were installed, which immediately allowed all my baulked controls to work normally. I haven't yet investigated further, but it was probably only one of the updates which was responsible. It clearly doesn't affect all users, but MS support forums have been very active since January.
  11. I suggest those experiencing problems take a look at the MS Windows support forums. Many current problems are not caused by addon or current game updates, but are the result of MS releasing 2 problematic Windows updates, supposedly to fix security loopholes. The January Windows update caused a variety of problems for a large number of users, in some cases locking users out of their computers. This was supposed to have been corrected by the Windows 10 and 11 updates issued last week. It now appears that the new February update has caused further issues, different to the original ones. There are a lot of postings about this but no proper response from Microsoft. I was not adversely affected by the January update, but as I mentioned previously, the Fix update last week wiped out all the controls settings on my system. Using system recovery to the point immediately before the Windows update, restored everything in working order, proving it was the Windows update which caused the problem.
  12. This might not be just an MSFS thing. There was a Windows update this week on 13 or 14 Feb, for Win10 and 11. I am using P3D 5.4 and yesterday I found all controls and settings in my cockpit were wiped out. That's about 200 functions. I had to use system recovery to get anything working. Microsoft seems to have a problem with any updates.
  13. I use Win 10 and an update today completely screwed up all the usb functions in my cockpit. Made some 200 switch and button functions stop working. I was searching the MS website for any clues when I saw something regarding this weeks Win 11 update including a fix for the previous update which seemed to have caused some issues for Win 11 users. Maybe that was what you experienced. Meantime I had to resort to system recovery to get my cockpit working again. I dread every Windows update.
  14. Which version of the Corsair ram are you using? They sell an AMD EXPO version for AMD boards and an XMP version for intel setups. They look the same, but whilst each type will usually work in either situation at base memory frequencies, in some cases they do not.

    Oops!

    I don't think I have ever seen any ship berthing at that speed. I'm also surprised by the complete lack of anybody at the rear end keeping watch, although there did seem to be one person outside the bridge observing the action. It sounded like the smaller ship was well crunched.
