Hi,i Have the overland 747-400, the model is perfect but the VC is not working. is kinda clickable, and the LCD displays are black, and the whole vc is filled with a kind of brown color.I thought about showing a picture of the VC but i don't know how to do it.Please Anyway to make the VC work?

Hi, Just bought the NGX and I have a problem with mouse in Virtual cockpit. When I loaded the plane first time, everything was working fine. However, now I can't use mouse in the VC to click on any switches or anything. Even the cursor does not change when it's over a switch.It's working fine in 2D. I have tried to switch to different plane (from 737-800 to 737-900) and sometimes the mouse will start working and sometimes it will not. More often it will not. Please, help. Dmitry Buga.

Hello, I have always wondered how you guys get around in the cockpit. Do you use any add-ons or do you still use the standard FSX controls. If you something other please wright it as a comment. Regards Manfred

Good evening, I'm having some performance issues while running the 737NGX in VC. I'll give you the most details as I can so you can really understand the problem. My system specs first (it's a brand new PC): -Mobo: Asus P8Z77-V -CPU: I7-2600K @3.4 Ghz -GPU: Gainward GTX570 -RAM: Gskill 8GB (4+4 Dual channel) -System SSD: Corsair Force GT 60GB -HDD where FSX is stored: WD 1TB -Power Supply: Corsair 850W The only addon I've been running with the 737NGX is REX 2.0. I've played the first PMDG tutorial with low traffic and clear skies and during the flight I've experienced very low FPS in VC, in a range from 13 to 22, with occasional peaks of 30 (I have set 30 FPS limit whit nVidia Inspector). When in external view, I always get 30 FPS. Before using nVidia Inspector i used to make my tests in LIPZ and I could see that FPS in VC were the same, while in external view were about 45-50 FPS (not having the FPS limiter). I've already modified my FSX.cfg with the Venetubo tool, but I couldn't get appreciable results. Here is how I set it, I think I did it right: I have also followed all the instructions for best performance written within the NGX Introduction manual. Now, the main question is: is it normal to get that low performance with that settings with such a high-end system? I ask you because I want to know if overclocking is the only way out.

Hi guys. I have been having this problem lately especially when i load up high density addon sceneries such Aerosoft or Orbx. Aircrafts that i use are the common payware ones like PMDG, IFLY, Captain Sim and Quality Wings. So the scenario is that after loading is completed, the VC textures becomes all black. Sometimes it loads ok but when i changed views i.e VC to locked spot to VC again - the VC textures becomes black and then it will stay that way even when i load up default sceneries. I have minimized the scenery sliders thinking its a memory issue but its still happening. I used to have OOM issues big time but since i have installed the 3gb fix, its all gone but then this issue with the black textures came up. My interest in FSX has dwindled because of the OOM issues but it has now rekindled because of the 3gb fix. But i wonder if thats the cause of the black VC textures. Below i have included my pc specs (yes i know, its a dinosaur..Hahaha) my boot.ini where i put my 3gb fix and my FSX cfg file. Hope you guys can help. Thanks. My PC specs are: AMD Athlon II X2 245 Processor 2.90 GHz, 3.28 GB of Ram NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT with 1024 VRam Windows XP Professional SP3 32Bit My boot.ini looks like this: [boot loader] timeout=3
