Interesting, thank you I will give it a go :-)

Hiya What is the best way to shut down all the un-needed processes in the background when running FSX on Windows 10? What should be shut down? Many thanks Paul

I wonder if a MOD could move it please?

Thank you, but unless I am doing something wrong, that did not work ;-( I did profile specific Pressed the button on joystick Selected Ap Spd Var Dec Selected Control to repeat while held but nothing happens in the sim I have read somewhere about a script being required but not sure if that is old or not? Thanks Paul

Thank you I will look into both Paul

Hiya I am sure it can be done, but I don't know how. I fly mostly my Aerosoft Airbus but currently, the only way to change the Autopilot speed is to use the mouse. Is there a way of mapping a joystick buttons to increase/decrease AP speed using FSUIPC? Many thanks Paul

I am very new to UT2, but I noticed turning the frame rate off in UT2 got me a hell of a lot more AI, maybe try that?

Thanks guys I have bought Ultimate Traffic 2 as there is a 30 day refund, it is better than traffic 360 but still a hit on FPS The good thing about it, it seems you can tell it when to spawn the aircraft instead of what someone earlier said, they all being spawned all around you which could be alot of aircraft. I am hoping for a refund on Traffic 360 although not holding my breath If this doesnt work, I will try the freebie version Thanks Paul

It looks like I am having a chat with myself here lol However, I can now confirm that Traffic 360 is an absolute pile of tosh FPS wise, it literally kills my reasonable PC. 30% set in the Traffic controls centre 40% Set in Airline traffic in FSX 0% Set in GA traffic in FSX All Scenery sliders at absolute minimum (Far left) I get less than 20 FPS My sliders nearly all way right with no Traffic 360, late 20's FPS They advertise as a low FPS hit, but based on my experience, that is just a plain lie Thoughts anyone? Paul

Just had a quick play again. I have uk2000 Gatwick. I went from 30 FPS down to 20 with 25% traffic. I have now gone back to uk2000 settings and turned off all static aircraft. I now get 30 FPS again,but get this,that is with 100 % traffic both airline and ga!! Does traffic 360 overwrite all fsx standard ai traffic or should that be uninstalled? I have not done a flight yet with the new settings, but certainly looks promising

Hiya Was looking to add a bit more movement in the skies and around the airports,so decided to get traffic 360. It claims,as do users that the fps drop is negligible, well,not based on my quick experience. With ai traffic set to 40% normal and 10% ga aircraft, I get about a 50% fps hit. Even at those settings,landing at Gatwick during the day there was not one plane ready for take off or any landing in front of behind me. So absolutely no point in reducing the % Any ideas what I can do or is it just not going to work? Thanks Paul

That's fair enough, however uk2000 advertise the fact that theirs does but all I get is a weird swirly texture

Do you know what that level is as I have them all on quite high? Thanks for your help

Hiya I have what seems to be a weird issue None of my paid for addon airports have water effects on the ground yet all my default ones do. I thought it would be the priority of each scenery, but that does not seem to be it after mucking about with it I have: Aerosoft Corfu (LGKR) Aerosoft Innsbruck (LOWI) The weirdest one is my UK2000 Gatwick latest version which looks like it is trying to show water but all it is is swirly textures. Is this right or should I be getting water effects on these airports? Thanks Paul

Thanks all My issue is not so much putting the airbus in place, it's getting it set up when it loads in that place. By the time I am even close, it crashes in to mountains or the ground as the engines haven't spooled in time or other issues

but i assume that involves taking off and setting up that way? I was hoping to create a basic way of doing what FSI panel does if possible?

Hiya I would like to practise my landings but am having a real issue with setting the plane up so I can do just landings. Is there an easy way to do this? I thought setting up a flight and saving it at he landing stage would work but it seems the settings don't save just mostly the direction and area of the plane. Then when it is is pause to setup, the settings i.e speed, heading etc do not show until you un pause and then all hell breaks lose Any tips please? Thanks Paul

Hiya No doubt there is no simple answer to this, but here goes. I generally fly the Aerosoft Airbus When taking off, I generally set the Alt to 7000 as I seem to remember it in the tutorial but not sure why and when do you change that, I assume when you are approaching that altitude? When at TOD, what Alt do i set to start my decent? And how do I come up with that Alt? I have been (And no doubt wrongly) setting it for about 6000 and then when close'ish to the ils i start getting down to the proper glideslope. Obviously I need to take into account any obstructions, but base your answers maybe on a very straight forward take off and approach I tried looking for this but couldn't find the answer, probably because my terminology was wrong Thanks for any help Paul

Yes I am using the fixer Seems only the UK2000 Gatwick that is causing me issues I get very little water if any on the ORBX Scenery, but on default airports it looks great

I actually think this is to do with the UK2000 Gatwick as default and ORBX airports dont show this

Any ideas what is going on here please? Just changed over to DX10 and to be honest not seeing much improvement anywhere but I assume I will need to play with it a bit more, however, the water on the ground is awful Any ideas why? Thanks Paul

Yes, Affinity is 14 :-)

I have 64bit I have MEMFIX, BUFFERPOOLS, VSYNC (Window Mode) tweaks added Any other obvious ones I have forgotten?

Not really considered DX10, maybe worth a look if everything else fails

My water setting has been the source of my latest tinkering. If I turn my water setting off, i do get an increase, so I changed my Bufferpools from 0 to different settings but no better, so went back to zero, hwoever it mean si have to have water at high 2x i think it is.I have turned it back down a little but i get flashes which is expected. Anti aliasing is done by nvidia inspector but am at work so cannot say what it is. DX9 I will try the visibility you mention and 4 layers. Why is the default 5 if the max we actually see is only 4? Thanks for your help Paul
