  1. FSX is a software eager in ressources, far to be "low specs". Especially if you push the graphics settings high. I suggest to try with lower settings and increase level of details up to the limit of your system. And lock your frame rate at 30 fps. Search in the forum for articles about that
  2. I use the Saitek panel switch and the de-ice switch will act as carb heater in most GA planes. Very useful when you fly in cold or at high altitude.
  3. I think that the idea of Saitek to put a switch is not too bad. The only problem is that the flaps are close or full open. We get use to it. In real life, or in the sim, if you sit in a C182 look on the right of the center column for the up and down lever.
  4. Maybe a "zooming" factor. When we are close of an aircraft and we zoom in, we pass through or advance forward in the textures.
  5. Hi John, how does it happened ? Was it a message from FS or windows ? Check if your memory sticks are OK (lock-in). And yes, those mem GSkill have good reputation
  6. Mr Zippy is right. You NEED to use rudder for flying an helo. The "synchro" habit of using collective and rudder is an essence for rotary flying.
  7. It seems that you unzipped it twice. The first line "looking" a copy of the second line. Anyway, just right click on the second line and execute as administrator, it should start the install routine. When done, make sure the new scene is active in the FSX library.
  8. Well, I will wait for a "MSFS + Acceleration" in a couple of years... :rolleyes:
  9. I stick with FSX too... To much $ invested in the last ten years; All ORBX basics + all FTX regions in NA + add-ons airport + twenty A2A, Carenado/Alabeo GA aircraft and, like many of us, hours and hours of learning and tweaks & tuning, fooling with NVIDIA Inspector and Steve's DX fixer to get the most of FSX and the right balance between graphic details and fps on his dedicated system. But, more important, I am very happy and satisfied with my FSX set-up and hours of enjoyment still to come...
  10. Superbe de belle région à survoler. Et beau graphique fluide. Merci pour la balade Michel Dan
  11. ... and what kind of flight controls... yoke or stick ?
  12. That kind of comment can only come from USA... While you better stick to this forum Kevin, dveswans is welcome to make his third post in eleven years in the FSX forum !
  13. Humm, isn't it an anti-icing fuel filter for a Boeing 737 Max or maybe just the .bgl of it ??
  14. Well, it's a very very "wide" and confusing question... or was an April fool... LOL More seriously, what do you mean by add-ons ? Aircrafts, sceneries, or software maybe ( flight planners, Gmap, etc..) ?
  15. -Falling from the sky: Flight 174 (or Freefall: Flight 174) is a movie about the "Gimli Glider" event, an Air Canada aircraft who ran out of fuel half-way his flight. -Piche, entre ciel et terre (don't know if it's dub in english) is about the Air Transat Airbus who made an incredible landing at the Accores islands, with no engines due to a major fuel leak. Those two events are in the same class as "Sully" the Miracle of the Hudson, as there was no casualties... and pretty good airman ship. Hope that other members here have suggestions too, I'm also a fan...
  16. Have a question for those running FSX on Windows 10 Do we have to follow like Kostas "tweaks & tuning" guide + the modifications in the FSX profile in NV Inspector + Steve dxFixer ? Dan
  17. ... then you highlight (mouse clic on...) the scenery you want to move and use the buttons.
  18. I agree with dogfish. Steve's DXfixer is a must to get rid of the glitches bring by DX 10 and to get a better "visual" by many possible tweaks for transparency, reflection, etc...
  19. Maybe just the 12gb of ram. Recommendations are 16gb at least. But it should not "block" an install or exec...
  20. ORBX stuff really make FSX... alive, especially if you're a GA planes pilot. Using LC, Global, lib, all FTX regions, many freeware and payware add-on airports. (We become some kind of addic..!). Like Larry wrote, it's eye-candy. You can find a lot of freeware sceneries on their website. You could "see" what it looks like. Steve's DXfixer not only fix weirdos (like square halo from lights) that we get on DX10 but is also a great soft for fine-tuning reflexion, transparency shadow, and fix shadow in cockpit.
  21. The Max 8 is far to be in service. Even if they have FAA approval, they will need the approval of many countries transportation bureau to be able to fly in those countries. The trust in regard of the competence of US FAA is dead. (For obvious good reasons)
  22. Humm, I only use VC, didn't use 2d panels for years ! With VC, you can look anywhere around, using the hat switch on most controllers or, like many of us, using track IR(a "head motion" sensor device). I think it's a must for GA flights at low level. By the way, if you find the gauges too small to read, just zoom with the + key.
