Re: Track IR

Nigel, I don't think I would play the FSX game again without TrackIR. Indispensible IMHO. My trick for setting it up for a good all-round view of the cocpit and outside view is: 1. Start the game then press F12 as normal to centralise view. 2. Tilt head upwards 20-30 degrees then press F12 again - t...

Re: Free scenery tweaks for FSX

Hi Last friday my FSX was chugging around at 15 fps average - today we are hitting the 35 - 40 bracket.... By disabling the High Resolution 3-D cockpit I managed to add between 5-10 fps. I only virtually fly using the VC so I was surprised to find that there is no appreciable difference to a lot of ...

Re: Editing Knee Board

Hi I was pleased to see this post as I have also been modifying the kneeboard to produce a Nav Radio Frequency card/panel. http://xr219.cbfsim.org/images/Kneeboard1.JPG It is a fairly simple cut and paste operation to program any info you like into the mission briefing panel - I borrowed the code fr...

CPU Overclocking - May be of interest

Hi

I came across this last night and tried a few of the tips and tricks - really speeded up my comp and decreases FSX load times (unless it was my imagination).... Worth a look see.. :cpu:

Re: Classic Brit AI and static aircraft......

Hi As an FSX only user I tend not to use AI at all due to the frame rate loss and the fear of becoming a virtual plane spotter. I populate my airfields with statics of the type and era for each site. Consequently i don't have many statics.... It would be nice if makers could include a static model w...

Re: FPS Limiter v Alacrity PC ?

Hi Tony

I rarely use FS9, we all have to have a white elephant in our lives, don't we? ;-)
As for the frame rate issue - I don't recall such good and constant fps with FS9 - is that what you mean? or am I missing something?.
