Thanks, that sorted it.

Sorry to divert slightly, but how does one remove any of these programs? I recently updated my PC and would like to see how it performs without this. I actually have the original version by Fragtality still installed, though may well update if I still find a need on the new system once the pace of development slows down a little.. Is it as simple as deleting the folder? It doesn't seem to appear in the list of programs in windows so I can't uninstall it that way. As it launches automatically I assume it must have updated a file in MSFS?

Thanks for the info everyone, I'll take a look at that http://www.militaryaiworks.com/ link. Having seen all the problems people seem to have getting MT6 going, and it's potential to cripple frame rates I wasn't keen on that! I also seem to remember reading somewhere that the UK2000 scenery didn't work well with Orbx due to the Orbx scenery changing the altitudes of some airports? Or was that MT6 too? Graham

Hi, I do most of my flying out of RAF Brize Norton as it's a cheap place with a long runway and ILS in AirHauler. However, I've noticed that I never see any AI traffic on the ground or taking off or landing there. Is that just because I don't have suitable models loaded for military traffic in the UK (I have the default P3D v3.3 aircraft plus the PMDG 737, MJC Q400 and the new C47), or does P3D just not model military traffic? All my traffic sliders are set to 100%. If P3D doesn't model military traffic, is there an addon that works with v3 that would add it? Many thanks Graham

Thanks for the link rampa, great video!

Yes, I just got it downloaded - not taken it for a spin yet whilst I work throught he manual. So I guess the question is: Where's the most spectacular place to start flying this? Somewhere we can appreciate dramatic scenery at the medium altitudes we'll spend a lot of time flying at... Hmm, I may have to start a new company up in AirHauler.. Any suggestions for locations greatfully appreciated! Graham

In case anyone's not heard, the long awaited virtual vintage cockpit for Manfred Jahn's C47 is out (in beta officially) over @ SOH. Not sure if links to other sites are allowed, if not mods please delete this: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=34&linkid=21645 The site is a little bit busy at the moment...

Hey, The Early Access release of AH2 is out over at Just Flight if anyone's interested. Enjoy. Graham

Slightly, but I haven't gone to insane lengths with overclocking - I can, I built the machine with watercooling so that I could if I needed to - but to be honest I haven't found a need yet. I suspect the problems a lot of people are having is with expectations. The CV1 just doesn't (and can't) look as good as we're used to with modern monitors. It's forte is immersion. If you can't live with a limited field of view and screen quality that looks 10 years out of date, you aren't going to enjoy the Rift. If you can and value being able to look around and feel "there", then it's a complete game changer. But it does work.... Graham

As a straight answer to the question of is anyone using P3D with a CV1 successfully, yes, I am. With FlyInside. I find the immersion level of being able to look around far out weighs the lower resolution. I have a couple of issues with other add on programs that I'm working through (Pro ATC/X and Firefighter X), but using the basic sim is a blast! Graham (In case it matters, I do run a modern rig - 6700K, 32Gb DDR4 RAM, everything is on SSD's, 980Ti Strix - but if you haven't got a fairly high end rig you aren't going to be able to use VR anyway, not just in P3D)

Thanks for the replies. Will take a look at ptsim and see if I can figure it out. Graham

Hey, Does anyone know of a relatively painless way to add a single building (a castle) to a specific location in P3D? I fly a lot of Firefighter X in a region of Spain I know well, and one of the main landmarks seems to be missing... Many Thanks Graham

I went through a problem with OOM's in 3.1 after the last ASN update. I rolled back to the previous build of ASN - had to uninstall and reinstall then just patch to the earlier build - and most of the crashes went away.... Just my 0.02 cents. Graham

If you're spending real money and are considering the Acer Predator X34, I'd be really careful. I have one and there are a lot of people complaining of problems on their forums: 1) Panel won't hit the advertised 100hz overclock 2) Only half the backlight switches on when you turn the monitor on. I have this, but I find the other half of the monitor comes on pretty quickly 3) Lots of backlight bleed. If I fly at night, the bottom left corner of the screen in particular looks like the sun is rising just off screen - that corner has a distinct orange glow. The top left does too, but not over as much of an area. It's not visible unless that section of the screen is totally dark, so I don't notice it in other games, but it's really noticeable in P3D. 4) Other people are reporting really bad banding, particularly in blue colours. Don't have this myself. All told it's a lot of problems for a £1000 monitor. I'm considering speaking to Acer about an RMA for mine. Graham

This is the way I run it - I just have it on the same machine as P3D.. Graham
