Thanks for the tip. But I'm running RCv4 on a second, networked PC rather than the one running P3D. So I don't think the P3D settings will have any effect. The wav slider doesn't appear to be muted or anything. I can hear the usual selection of windows noises even if I can't hear RCv4 sounds.

Thanks, have just downloaded and installed SWYH. It's a useful, if slightly complicated workaround - and it only works if I keep my audio output (on the PC running RCv4) set to the USB headphones. I would however like to try and get to the bottom of why audio from RCv4 doesn't play through the PC speakers. I hear other PC sounds, so there's no hardware fault. Thanks, Dominic

Hi, I'm using RCv4 with P3D in a network configuration on a second PC (using WideFS). I'm having some problems with the ATC audio, which is set to output to the network PCs built in speakers. All works well when I start a flight but at some point the audio stops playing (even though RC is still running). Sometimes I can get the sound to come back by switching the output within windows to my USB headset. I'm also using Simphysics on the networked PC and sometimes closing this program mades the audio play again on the speakers - but not always. It seems as if something is causing a conflict. What I'd really like is to have the audio play via the speakers without any interruption. Any ideas? Thanks, Dominic

Thanks. Coincidentally I saw this thread over the weekend. I turned HT back on and set AM to 116. Also used Process Lasso to assign the various cores. Early days yet but I think the changes have improved performance somewhat. It's definitely a performance issue then? Aerosoft's A319/20/21 runs very smoothly with FSUIPC autosave turned on... Thanks again, Dominic Rhodes

Thanks for all the help. Everything works ok when autosave is turned off. I haven't experienced this type of problem with any other aircraft before, that's why I thought best to ask here rather than in the FSUIPC forum. I'm happy to try there too. My PC is i7-3770k running at 4.5ghz, GTX970, 16GB RAM. Display settings are all set in the middle of the range and P3Dv3 maintains the 25fps I've locked, even when using the NGX in ORBX FTX areas. I'm not using Nvidia Inspector. Antivirus is already set to exclude P3D files. Thanks again, Dominic Rhodes

Turning off autosave in FSUIPC did seem to fix it thanks. My autosave was causng the NGX to be unusable due to stutters all the time, not just when it was actually saving the scenario (which was set to every 5 minutes). Is there a fix in the works for this? Autosave is a useful feature.... Thanks, Dominic Rhodes

​Hi, I'm a long time NGX user in FSX. I've been very impressed with P3Dv3 in the last couple of months, so decided to take the plunge and buy the NGX for P3Dv3. First flight in the NGX and the simulator is stuttering - every 20-30 seconds the simulator will freeze for a few seconds. Checked the forums and the two suggestions I found were FSUIPC autosave (which doesn't happen every 30 seconds so I think unlikely) and ASN. Even when I turned the latter off I'm still seeing the stutters. I've been running Aerosoft's A320 for the last few months and have not observed the same issue with that addon. I've a reasonably powerful PC (i7-3770k running at 4.5ghz, GTX970, 16GB RAM) and am running at modest display settings. FPS locked at 25 which P3D seems to be holding steady. Any thoughts? Thanks, Dominic

I remember I did a while back, fortunately I kept a backup of the original. Working fine now! Many, many thanks for all your help. Excellent support! Dominic

It's the DVD version of FSX. All debug options are ticked. Shadows, Bloom and Other are greyed out in the DX10 Controller. Worth noting too that I'm running REX4 textures, in case there are any know problems with this. Thanks again, Dominic

Thanks for the very fast reply. I've re-downloaded the ORBX file library, and have added the line in FSX.cfg you suggested. I'm still seeing the problem. The only file missing is BETON_WI.bmp Thanks, Dominic Screenshots http://1drv.ms/1CErK2i http://1drv.ms/1CErHDI

Hi, I purchased DX10 fixer this week and have taken the leap to DX10. Already seeing a much more stable simulator and a slight performance boost. The fixer does seem to be working as it's fixed a number of issues with AI aircraft textures. But, I'm having a problem with night lighting poles, which are displaying as black boxes during the day. I understand this is a known transparency issue with DX10. I think the lighting in question is coming with ORBX FTX Global or Vector (I have both installed), as it seems to occur all over the world. Switching to DX9 puts everything back to normal again. I've read both the manual that came with the fixer and searched on both this and ORBX forums and see that the fixer is supposed to repair this issue at installation. I've tried removing the libraries and re-downloading them, and then also completely uninstalling and reinstalling DX10 fixer. But the problem still persists. I'm at a loss as to what to do next - any ideas? Thanks, Dominic
