Posted some screenshots of an F28 I have been tinkering about with on the gallery page

How strange :roll:

If you read the start to this thread, you will know that I was having problems with the F28 running smoothly.
I eventually tied this down to Gauge 72 in Window00 of the panel.cfg.
Disabling this, all worked well, though I lost the voice call outs.
Having added Tony's excellent Iberia repaint, I set off for a flight. Again, I got the stutters.
I noticed that this was only happening after opening the overhead panel. This time, I've traced it to Gauge10 (the Radio CD player) in Window01 of the Panel.cfg.
Having disabled this, I have enabled Guage72, with no recurrence of the problem.
I had made a couple of changes to the main FS9 folder (increased Terrain radius and Texture Bandwidth), but am surprised this has had these effects.

Puzzled

i had the same problem: everything worked fine (FPS 26+) until i used the spot view: FPs <9.

The solution is to rename the two effects files that get installed with the F28. They are PFJ Fokker F28_Smoke.fx and one other one, also called PFJ something. Rename them, and the problem disappeared for me.

Thanks Gevers,

But the problem that I experience is not linked to the F28_Smoke.fx
I have followed the advice on the Project Fokker website, but this does not solve the problem.
I have traced it to the gauge

gauge10=radiocd4!radiocd, 89,661,239,75

Which I have disabled by placing // before 'gauge'.
This has solved the problem, but has resulted in the loss of the radio/cd player in the overhead panel.
I have written a full report to Project Fokker, as other users reported the same problem and fix on the Avsim forum.

Regards

Kevin

Yes James, it runs smoothly now.
By disabling the radio/cd player, I lose the option of making cabin announcements - no big deal.
To use the radio/cd player, open the overhead panel and click on the two red switches that appear to the bottom left of the window.
Once the radio/cd player is there, you can choose FM or AM and click on the preset buttons along the bottom. This will give either pilot or cabin crew announcements.

Regards

Kevin
