Sounds good. ...always liked light twins.

I've been having the same problem for a couple of weeks or so too. I suspect it has something to do with the nvidia overlay as well. About the same time I started using it the problem started. justanotherpilot: I guess the Asus Game tweaker is a card-specific utility then? I'm just selecting the 'Sleep' setting when I walk away from the computer till I can find a solution. I've checked the "powercfg" reports and don't see any wake requests. A while ago I found that the Chrome browser would keep my computer awake if I had any paused Youtube videos open. Such a pain...just work, please 😕

And, once I did this I could load straight into the PMDG 747's. To be clear, I was getting CTD when trying to start with the 747-8. Once I loaded the default flight and then loaded the 747-8, I could from then on load straight to the 747-8.

Thanks guys. Got it sorted.

I'm old and dumb. Now that's out of the way, how do you find your downloads on the FSL site? I struggle with this every time. Thanks.

What, in the name of all that's good, is wrong with these guys?

This pics are there (here). So...success.

I realized after lying down for the night that I hadn't been clear on this. Sorry. I was taking about the Frozen Surface option in Orbx Vector. In my case, the problem seemed to always be on water surfaces. Unchecking this option worked, in my case.

Thanks, Zeljko. I'll give it a try. I tried it and that fixed it for me. Should have known. Thanks again.

I too have this issue in some areas. Seems to be Orbx Europe in my case. I'll be interested if anyone can suggest a cause and fix.

Thanks for this. Interesting information about Carenado FSX aircraft's ports to X-plane. I'll have to try one out. I just assumed they were straight ports...

This. All respect due to Fruggle, but I think he either pulled this out of his hat or he said this for motives only known by himself. Personally, I found it uncomfortable for this youtuber to be dipping his toes into conspiracy-land.

I'm very excited to hear what this will be. Baring the PMDG moniker, I'm sure it will be top-notch. Could it be a new flight sim platform? 10 years? Looking forward to whatever it is.

I agree with the above statements. I have the same computer but with 32 Gb memory. Sounds like you have a good CPU. Running at 5.0 with those temps is very good. Do you recall what CPU voltage you're using? I found that 4.9 Ghz with synchronized cores and hyper-threading set to On works best for me. Doug, after all was tweaked as much as I felt like tweaking (a tiring job for me), I dove into the fan controls. (FanXpert 4, in my case.) I ended the cycling fan speeds by making adjustments there. I kept AI Suite 3 open and ran (for example) P3D4. I noted where the temps where a good load would occur. Then noted where the idle temps where. Then, I adjusted the custom fan curves so the fans would kick up just before the temperatures where P3D4 runs. Now, I don't really notice the fans, as I'm usually concentrating on flying and there's none of that darn fan cycling going on. I hope that makes sense.

They have released the XP11 version. Check the website.
