Will have to wait and see what Intel have to offer in regards to higher frequencies when AMD release their Ryzen 3000 series. However, if it is a difference of only 2-300MHz I'll probably favor the extra cores over that. Thanks for your advice :)

Hi all, Current situation: Currently use FS9 on Windows 7 x64 Ultimate (on and off as I have kind of lost the passion for flight sim). Here's my current setup: Phanteks Enthoo Pro TG Antec HCP850W Asus P6T Intel i7 975 (stock) with Thermalright Archon SB-E X2 CPU cooler 8GB GSkill PC3-12800 (2x 4GB dual channel) EVGA GTX1080 8GB Seagate 480GB SSD + Samsung 500GB SSD + HGST 2TB + WD 8TB Future Situation: If Flight Sim 9 (inc. all of my addons) doesn't work on Windows 10; I am contemplating on upgrading to Prepar3D. I'm looking at Ryzen 3700X currently as the leaked specifications look very impressive and I would benefit from the extra cores when converting ripped blurays and dvds to my media drive. However I mainly game on my PC so higher frequencies tend to better for the latter? At least to my knowledge this is true? I only plan on upgrading my CPU, M/B, RAM and I will be getting an M.2 SSD for Windows 10 and applications. Does Prepar3D work best with higher frequencies or would extra cores be the better route to go? Assume I would get such addons as: PMDG 737 and 747, REX textures etc.

Are you running FS9 at the maximum screen resolution that your monitor can support? This would help increase the size. Otherwise I am unsure.

Are you running FS9 in administrator mode? Do you hear others sounds in game?

http://forum.justflight.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=31316 Not sure if that is the answer you are looking for. Also; have you tried installing them in Windows Safe Mode as I had to do this with PMDG on Windows 7 after MS tried to break something in order to force me to upgrade. Doing the former solved my issue.

Hi all, I am trying to obtain an airport timetable, showing who (airline), where (destination) and when (time of flight) for EGCN (Doncaster and Sheffield Airport) so I can create some realistic flight plans. Leeds Bradford does a timetable but I can only find live arrivals and departures on the Doncaster Sheffield website. Does anyone have a clue where I can get such information? Might have to look at Flight Radar if not.

www.fsprojects.tk That works :D I need to update my signature :)

Oh no! So it does. I know what that is. It's because my security certificate isn't from my hoster but a third party. It is safe to use. TBH: I'd thought I had fixed that but obviously not :( ... it's made the to - do - list Thanks for informing :)

FSRealWX is free to use. With the option to upgrade for extra features. Agreed though that the former or REX weather engine is as good as Active Sky. In fact, I tried to obtain a key for Active Sky Evolution but HiFi refused to sell me a key because it was no longer supported.

In my second post I stated that I had given up on getting the REX weather engine to work. The REX textures are working fine and I never stated any issues with the textures (I probably should have done so). I have moved over to another weather engine product (fsrealwx in this instance).

Hi forkedtail, FS Real is working :/ Has been since I started using it lol

REX are yes ... http://www.rexsimulations.com/ So is fsrealwx.

Hi all, I've installed 737-600/700/800/900 with model update. I have a panel state issue upon initial load into FS9 with all liveries. Everything works fine except for the logo light not working. i.e. The tail logo doesn't light up. However, if I load the default 737-700 cold and dark flight from select a flight, go through the checklists to power up using either APU or Ground Power; this then fixes the issue of the logo light not working, including on all liveries (i.e. without exiting FS9, creating a new flight). Is there a way for me to save the panel state for the 737? Thank you in advance for any help on this. EDIT: Resolved (solution below) Found out that you cannot save the panel state for the 737 series. PMDG Source. So I've found a temporary solution for myself. I'll write it here for others if they have this issue and want to resolve it too ... 1) Load FS9 2) Choose "Select a Flight" 3) In the list choose PMDG > 737-700 cold and dark 4) Once the flight has loaded (the aircraft will be in a default cold and dark state) ... Press the alt key > World > Go to Airport ... load an airport you want to start at usually (call it your home airport) ... don't bother changing the time once you are at your home airport in a cold and dark state (as you will probably always change this anyway). 5) Once loaded at your home airport, go through the checklist in the aircraft to a panel state you are comfortable with in starting at in every flight; i.e. a panel state where you are at a point in the checklist you are comfortable at starting at for every flight you do. For me I went through the checklist up until FMC entries prior to PUSHBACK & START. However I have to change or update the following: a. OVHD > Set cruise altitude and destination airport elevation b. OVHD > Fuel pumps check (dependant on fuel load) c. OVHD > Start APU or select Ground Power (checking of electrical systems) d. OVHD > APU bleed switch ON/OFF (for starting engines) e. OVHD > double check YAW is set to ON e. MCP > Course, Heading (runway), initial ATC altitude cleared to, VNAV, LNAV, double check AUTOBRAKE setting RTO, initial Speed, Flight Director ON etc ... f. Then continue checklist's from FMC entries, then PUSHBACK and Engine Start. 6) Save the flight (press alt key > Flight > Save as ... Name it PMDG 737 Custom start > tick the box "make default flight". 7) Now everytime you load FS9 to do a flight, it will load the above default state for the PMDG 737. Once FS9 has loaded, you MUST click Fly Now so it loads the flight above. Once loaded, you can then create a new flight as you would normally, noting that you have to start from the following checklist (as mentioned in step 5 above).

Hi all, UPDATE: Decided to give up on REX weather engine. I'm using https://www.fsrealwx.net/ instead now :) It is working so I just use the REX textures :)

Hi all, I've been having issues with my REX weather updating with real weather. It was working fine on Monday. I tried today and it has stopped updating. Adding the exe to my firewall (software) helped resolve this on Monday but it has stopped working tonight again. Does anyone know the ports that REX uses for downloading real weather as I am convinced it is my router. I already run the exe's in administrator mode on Windows 7 x64 bit. Many thanks for your help in advanced.
