  1. Hi, IIRC, I used to be able to look all around and see down, to my left, right and behind with no obstructions. Now if I look around all I see is the Seat or out the window etc. How do I regain that superb ability to look around as if I am just floating in thin air with no airplane around me? Thanks!
  2. Wasn't sure where to post this but I'm working with FSX I'm trying to make a particular airport quite busy with General Aviation AI traffic, with an emphasis on seeing approximately 30 aircraft parked at any given time. No Commercial Airline traffic. Just small planes and corporate jets. With AIFP3, you add aircraft to your AIRCRAFT LIST (for creating flight plans) that I believe is pulled from the FSX list of available Aircraft. So, what if you wanted to add more aircraft flightplans to and from a particular airport than there are aircraft (and repaints) installed in FSX? Could you for example, duplicate the same Cessna 172 to create 20 or 30 Cessna 172 flight plans to and from that airport simply by assigning a different tail number to each instance of the Cessna 172? OR....would there need to be 20 or 30 different instances of Cessna 172's installed in FSX to do this?
  3. Thanks. Hoping someone can point me to a step by step "how to get connected now" of some sort. I don't have the steam edition so AFAIK I have no built in options. I also have no clue what servers are "safe" or to avoid etc.
  4. Hello, Long time simmer but never have joined any servers. Does anyone still do multiplayer flight Sim? Is Vatsim the best option and is it still up and running. I know, Google is your friend.....but it wasn't. After Googling and jumping back and forth and here and there for about half an hour I was more confused than ever. Couldn't find a solid answer. Maybe I just developed a mental block and can't see it. Can someone point me in the right direction here? Thanks
  5. Had a thought..... Maybe it's the Monitor. On System 1 I have this monitor SAMSUNG C550 Series T24C550ND 23.6" HD 1920 x 1080 2ms, 60 Hz, Generic PnP driver On System 2 I have..... SCEPTRE E225W-19203RS, 22" 75Hz, Generic PnP Driver So maybe it's the monitor that's making the difference? I guess I'll switch them and find out
  6. I have two totally separate computer systems in my office, both with FSX installed. Both updated Sp2. But for unknown reasons, the graphics appear significantly more true to life visually speaking on the much older system and it baffles me. I'm hoping someone can explain because the system with the $200+ graphics card does not look as good as the computer with the $40 graphics card. For example, the sim on System 2 looks brighter and the field of depth look much more realistic. Mountains in the distance look more realistic. I can post some comparisons unless someone has a suggestion off the bat. It makes absolutely no sense that my older system with far less capable hardware is producing a better VISUAL graphics experience (except that the new hardware is faster and smoother) Am I using the correct latest driver? Nvidia Driver ID = 441.66 / 26.21.14.4166 System 1 ROG Strix X470 Gaming MoBo, Ryzen 7 2700X CPU, PNY Geforce 1060 GTX 6GB GPU, 16GB Gskil 3200 DDR4 RAM System 2 Foxconn A78AX Socket AM3 - AMD 770 (8 years old MoBo), Nvidia Quadro 2000 GPU, AMD Athlon 64 X2 2500Mhz CPU, 4 GB DDR2 RAM The graphics display visually speaking (not the frame rate) is far more pleasing to the eye and more realistic on System 2. I fully expected the 1060 to be far better in all aspects. That said, isn't it the CPU and not the GPU that's rendering the graphics in FSX ? However, system 1 can sustain a frame Rate of 35 FPS, while System 2 can only achieve a Frame Rate of 27 FPS Did I just buy the wrong brand? Is it well known that the PNY GeForce 1060 GTX is not as capable as others? Is the Athlon 64 X2 CPU better at rendering graphics than the Ryzen 7 2700X CPU ? I'm at a loss.
