  1. Are you even sure this is caused by the Yoke? It might be a complexity of the aircraft model. What aircraft? What are your settings? Show contents of FSX.cfg Show contents of aircraft.cfg
  2. If you have FSX on disk, no. But you could always download FSX Steam Edition. Or you could remove the DVD player from your old PC. Or you could transfer the old installation to a large USB drive.
  3. Worse still. There are new drivers now - the 436.15's WHQL, released today... And I have no care for Nvidia Inspector settings - they dont work for P3Dv4.5, my only real area of interest these days.
  4. PMDG is not really for someone who doesn't grasp the fundamentals: Suggest putting it to one side and beginning with lessons that focus on the basics first. You cannot begin to fly something with the degree of complexity as the 737 NGX unless you understand what the differences are across the airfield and what they imply for flight. Learning by rote is no substitute for taking things one step at a time.
  5. You misunderstand: I ALWAYS change the drivers. It's just that for all the faffing, I don't see a single extra fps. New drivers are NEVER optimised for older games like FSX or Prepar3d... I've used older drivers; newer drivers; prototype drivers, even drivers off the beaten track of branches. STILL never a single extra fps. And I do use DDU to ensure a clean, fresh installation. It's why I stopped posting about new drivers in the P3D forum: There's never the slightest difference I can perceive... Lock it at 31, and fahgeddabahtit, Still if you've noted a difference, good luck: Did you use DDU? And change the Nvidia colour settings? Reset the 3D Settings?
  6. If all the reported gains in fps were genuine, by now I'd be running my sim at 1,000 fps, with all sliders easily at max. I'm not. Placebo Effect?
  7. GPS = Global Positioning System. Included as standard with all default aircraft in P3d. But there are included various POH - in the PMDG subfolder... Why are you attempting to fly PMDG aircraft when seemingly you don't have the merest clue? And in P3D which is specifically NOT intended for rank amateurs? You appear to be trying too much, too soon...
  8. Change my drivers about as often as socks: Haven't noticed the slightest bit of difference with the 436.02's.
  9. You should be returning the product for a replacement, or repair. No way that you should need to increase the null zone to anything like 30. That merely indicates the X-56 is faulty...
  10. What do the error messages say? Have you tried installing `as administrator`? And OUTSIDE of the Program Files (x86) folder?
  11. Cat III is NOT available at every airport, or every runway.
  12. Have you thought about NOT overspeeding..? Explain the circumstances under which such a circumstance occurs... we will then be in a position to advise what you are doing wrong.
  13. Well, you wouldn't want anything from Boeing in the current climate, would you..?
  14. NAME the airport and runway? Is it Cat III - capable? You are aware BOTH need to be capable..?
  15. I think that's rubbish, unless the Despatcher uses proprietary software. Can you load the software in a format recognisable by the aircraft? And add it's entry to the aircraft.cfg? I would do that then...
  16. Check control assignments on yoke: If necessary, reassign.
  17. https://edrm-repaints.com/aircraft.php?id=atr72&i=fgrpx Click on N288AM
  18. In real life? A compulsory invitation to land at a nominated airfield or airport, and meet the headmaster for a good thrashing..! In the sim, nothing...
  19. ORBX Central now does NOT require the re-installation of most of its ORBX addons. Just re-run ORBX Central.
  20. So, what speed are you climbing at? Might be advisable to go faster as this has the effect of lowering the nose, improving the visibility. Normal climb speed for the 172 is 85 knots. Try 110-120 kts and see the effect on climb rate...
  21. https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/531372-repair-p3d/ or http://www.prepar3d.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=122478 The order of my advice is important. Only repair ORBX after carrying out the base sim repair.
  22. No quick tweak. But yes, you can increase the steering angle so the plane has a greater turning radius in the aircraft.cfg file. Backup the original aircraft.cfg, then open the aircraft.cfg you want to change with your favorite text editor such as Notepad. Go down the list until you find the [contact_points] section. Find the proper Point. which is the nose gear. Example: This is the Airbus 321 which is point.0=1 Look across the point.0=1 to the 7th number which is 55.92. That is the steering angle for the nose wheel. You can increase the number of your plane up to 90 degrees. point.0=1, 43.00, 0.00, -9.70, 1600, 0, 1.442, 55.92, 0.6, 2.5, 0.9, 4.0, 4.0, 0, 220.0, 250.0 This is what the numbers mean from left to right //0 Class //1 Longitudinal Position (feet) //2 Lateral Position (feet) //3 Vertical Position (feet) //4 Impact Damage Threshold (Feet Per Minute) //5 Brake Map (0=None, 1=Left, 2=Right) //6 Wheel Radius (feet) //7 Steer Angle (degrees) //8 Static Compression (feet) (0 if rigid) //9 Max/Static Compression Ratio //10 Damping Ratio (0=Undamped, 1=Critically Damped) //11 Gear Extension Time (seconds) //12 Gear Retraction Time (seconds) //13 Sound Type //14 Airspeed limit for gear retraction (KIAS) //15 Airspeed that gear gets damage at (KIAS) Or you can just use the brakes to tighten the radius, assuming you have set left and right brakes separately.
