When I ran across this, it was because you need to run the EZCA config.exe as administrator, otherwise it silently does not make the configuration changes you specified.

Are you running the RemoteServer as Administrator? The log entry 'System.InvalidOperationException at System.Windows.Threading.Dispatcher.VerifyAccess()' implies to me that the program does not have sufficient privileges.

I am running the Samsung LS9000 (4K, curved) with a GTX980 and the PMDG 777 and Aerosoft Airbuses look fine. You can read the gauges without having to zoom in.

Thanks Flying Penguin. I have an X-55 so I guess I could use the slider there as well. I will have to give it some thought. I have a neighbor who flies Q400s for Porter and I would love to try the 3.5 degree approach into CYTZ. -david-

I am looking at the Q400 and was wondering what throttle quadrant controls are needed? Can I fly it with just throttle and power, or do I need a mixture control also? Should I have six controllers or will three suffice? How difficult is it to fly/manage from the first officer's position? I have the controllers, my issue is set up in that they will not bolt to my desk on the right-hand side. I would have to fly as first officer or try to rig up a desk-top mount for the controllers. (Saiteks) Thanks in advance. -david-

Tom: I have a similar setup. You need to go to 'Settings -> Display -> View & Panel Settings -> Wide-view Aspect Ratio' and make sure the box is checked. This will let you zoom back to a more realistic position. -david-

Hard to say since I don't have the 'as installed' numbers for P3D 2.5. With 2.4 and third party scenery installed, I was getting around 24 fps. That is for clear days. With the 980, third party scenery and things like ASN active, I am seeing around 35-40 fps in the same area but I have moved all my sliders much further to the right.

I just upgraded from a 680 to a 980 and did a fresh install of P3D. Intel 4790K @ 4MHz with 32Gb memory at 2133. The stock P3D Baron flying around CYTZ was showing around 100 fps using the out-of-box values set by Lockheed Martin. This is across three monitors (3 x 1920 x 1200). I hear from that the performance step from the 970 to the 980 isn't all that much, so if money is an issue, the 970 is probably a good choice.

Is anyone else experiencing crazy ground traffic in P3d 2.5? I was taxiing around KORD last night and twice I was rammed into by other aircraft on the ground. This triggered the collision detection and restarted the simulation. I have the stock KORD installed at the moment and have the airline traffic density set to 40%. The first time I was taxiing out and had stopped just before an intersection. Another airplane was coming in the other direction and proceeded to run right into me! The second time, I had a fault in the T/O configuration and had pulled over address it. Wham! I get tail clipped by another automated airplane. I finally disabled all automated traffic and flew the flight but it was lonely in the skies...

I would install the Saitek drivers and then plug in the USB cables. Well, actually, I would install SPAD 5.1 instead but if you are going to use the Saitek drivers, this would the be the order I would recommend.

Edwin: Did you reboot after installing simconnect? I just went through this as well and had to load 3 simconnect libraries and reboot before things started to work.

I have found that using the differential brakes with my CH Pro pedals is also causing the parking brake to be set (but no red parking brake text appears). I *think* it may be the way the brakes are mapped but have not explored it yet. I was going to look into it this weekend. Meanwhile, I find just setting and releasing the parking brake removes the problem. -david-

Has anyone had any experience with the FSX Throttle Classic Pro throttle quadrant? http://www.fsxthrottle.com/fsx-throttle-classic-pro I am hesitant to order one since I would have to pay international shipping and duties on top of the the base price.

Thanks everyone. I think I have a good handle on where to start my UK flying adventures now.

I was doing a visual landing into EGLL last night and was cleared to land 27L using side slip on 27R. Is this an expected procedure? Was this because there is no ILS on 27L but, since I was visual, why would I care? Also, is there some correction required to the location of this airport? I was vectored to right on top of Heathrow and then cleared to land. Do I need to pick up the AFCAD files for UK2000 scenery? Be gentle, this is my first time flying in the UK sim space. Also, recommendations for good scenery? The stock stuff looks really, really bad from on high.
