Crossdrop

Okay, Problem solved itself magically. Some clicking in the Graphic-Settings (not really reucing though) and now it works as before. Only during initial climb, I see some blurry textures below me, but I can't even exclude it wasn't before like that - I just was too mich into flying than looking around during climb. During cruise, it's fine, even after the REX textures are loaded into FSX.

Little addition: I put in an old fsx.cfg, that reduces the loading time from a massive 3 minutes to just 40 seconds (that occured very normal to me), but the textures still load slow as a snail.

I know this topic has been talked about before, but none actually matched my problem or helped me out so I try it again: Until last week, my FSX was running really smooth, with no problems. I have installed ORBX Global, Vector, OpenLC, fly with the Real Air Turbine Duke and the PMDG MD11. I have some freeware airports installed, but not a a huge mess. Even during starts with the MD11, I had no really slow FPS, although I don't know the exact value. But it was smooth! 2 weeks ago, REX4 was available at a reduced price, so I gave it a try. Since my FSX folder was really big and my games partition was reaching its limit, I enlarged it. Rex was installed with no problems, but the performance was horrible: FSX took ages to load and crashed after 3 minutes during the first flight with the MD11. I then removed all REX textures with the built in function, trying to optimize REX for my system, but now: FSX still takes long time to load (a bit less than with REX before, but way longer than 2 weeks ago). And after 5 minutes into the flight with the MD11, I don't have any sharp ground textures. With a slower plane like the Turbine Duke, it is the same, just takes a bit longer into the flight. I dont understand the reason for this: Frames are perfectly alright. The only thing I changed was changed back. And still it is a huge mess! I have deragmented the partition. No change. I really have no idea what's going wrong :( System is i5-4460, Nvidia GTX 750 Ti, 8 GB Ram. Any suggestions?

Yes, I asked for it in the ORBX Support Forum. Turns out you have to switch DX10 off to make it work.

One question, I'm nor sure if this is strongly MD11 related or FSX in general, because the MD11 is my first bird with autobrakes. The issue I have is that the manual brake is really weak as compared to autobrake. So when I land and have autobrake even at low, the bird slows down quite well. Once I hit the footbrakes, the deceleration really gets much slower. So when I practiced an engine failure before V1, when hitting the brakes instinctively, I overshoot the runway with like 80 or 100 knots. When I just use autobrakes, I'm fine. I just guess it's an MD11 config problem as the calibration of the pedals is fine and goes from 0 - 100. So is there any value I could optimize or this even how this bird behaves? (Which I hardly can imagin - once you hit the brakes and autobrakes get off you're really likely going to die....) I hope you can help! Cheers from Franconia.

Yeah - I want my FSX to increase slowly and not spend 50 € every month and then after one year and a half realize that it starts to be boring As weather engine I keep an eye on FSGRW - maybe they also have temperatures for any altitude. At the moment I use a free weather engine (FSXWX) and am quite happy for what it does for free.

Hah...that would reqiure to have ASN purchased

I looked for different phases in each of which the winds were not changing a lot and took an average for those phases. So in the end I had different "phases" of the flight with different winds. But I didn't enter the wind for each and every waypoint. BTW: I look up the winds at SkyVector, but do you know a source where I can get the temeperatures from?

Yeah...seems like PMDG has simulated that thing as real as it gets. As the FMS is just a computer, it sometimes does things differently when hitting the same buttons. We all know that And that property of a computer was very well simulated :smile:

Okay, in this flight it worked out with the Vert Rev Page. The flight before, I somehow was "not allowed" to get to the Vert Rev Page. How could this happen?

psschlute, thanks for the reply. Guess I didn't try that before. Unfortunately, the next opportunity to test for me is Monday. I will tell here if it works for me then. Cheers and have a nice weekend! pcubine: In that FMS section it is hard to understand how and where exactly I have to put in the winds for cruise flight. That's what I was asking. And, also if it's complicated, I'd like to do this appropriately. On that very flight I had no wind during climb, but later up to 100 in cruise. So I wanted to put in a climb wind and the an average cruise wind, at least. Sorry bout the name, didn''t know about it ;-)

Thats exactly what I did last week. I was only flying GA aircraft and wanted to step to the NGX first, but when finding out the MD11 is discontinued, a grabbed a copy as long as their are some. Greets from FIN245 EFHK/EDDF ;-)

Hey there, I know this topic has been talked about before, but I miss one important information (or somethings going on not quite right...) When I want to enter the winds in cruise (between ToC and ToD) I go to any point in the 2nd flight plan page. Then I enter Temp and Winds as -50/HD050 in the scratchpad. When I then click on the LSK on the right of the respective waypoint, I get a "not allowed" message. Also this is the case for entering the wind only or whatever format I thought about. Any suggestions? BTW: Yes, I have the 1.20 Version installed.

Because it is not easy to see: It looks like big planes along all three axis: x, y and z axis, so like three planes perpendicular to each other meeting in one point. These planes are blue and shiny. And I do not find the lights On and OFF ap in the ORBX\scripts folder. Wonder if anything went wrong when the download was stuck two times...

Hey there, just installed Vector. It's a great thing, however it gives me weird light effects on all streets. Changes in the Lights.exe won't do the trick. Can anyone help me? Cheers and happy new year!
