Just figured out how to get a custom resolution. I rolled back to older Catalyst drivers & used a program called "Radeon custom resolution manager". After clicking on gpu scaling in Radeon settings I got this. Whohoo! Time to get flying. Thanks all. Pat

Think I am just going back to my 19" 4:3 monitor. Thanks for all the advice. Pat

Maybe I will just pull out my old Dell 19" 4:3 & use it. Not nearly as good as my HP but lot less hassle.

I do not have FSX:SE running very well. Crashes a lot & very poor frame rates. Plus all my addons are for FS2004. I updated my computer in July in hopes of running FSX better but it has not helped much. AMD FX8350 with Radeon HD 7970 video & 16gigs of ram with Win7 64bit. Pat

Hi all, I have been out of touch not flying for awhile. My question is, I have always used a 4:3 ratio monitor using only 2D panels for my flying. 4:3 monitors have gone the way of the Dodo. I now have a HP 2509m. Some of my planes have OK widescreens but some like DA Fokker & Aeroworx B200 do not. When I try to fly in 3D, I get a lot of vertical tearing when I pan. I have FSX Steam but the lack of 2D panels is a problem. Just looking for some thoughts on this. Thanks. Pat Callaghan

Thanks.

Problem solved. Thanks allot. One question, how did you know what cities or airports are in which BGL file? I have the excel sheet with the files that are on the install disks.

I found the file but it is dated 2011 instead of 2003. I will swap the one from the disk & try.

I have recently discovered some of my Texas airports are gone. San Antonio & all the ones around are gone. Austin is still there. I am trying to figure out where on the FS2004 disc is the right files. I know the scenery files are on disc 4. I really do not want to do a full install. Any help would be appreciated.

I will give that a try. Thanks. Pat

I have a few questions with the same goal. I want to delete duplicate default AI planes flying in FS2004. I do not want to remove all AI, just the duplicate ones that look like they are flying in formation. Seems like Cessna & Learjets mostly. I have the 2 sets of bgls decompiled but do not know what to do now. I use WorldofAI for my airline traffic with no problems. 1. What is the difference between traffic.bgl & traffic30528.bgl? Any assistance would be appreciated. Pat Callaghan

I have the mixture controls to full rich since the scenery is MSL. The fuel valves are open as per CTRL-SHIFT-F4. I have tried the Flight1 default situation. Nothing seems to work but uninstalling Acceleration & reinstalling SP2. Pat

I have had this problem multiple times before. I have FSX with Acceleration installed I can't start any piston engines. CTRL-E does not work. Default or 3rd party planes. Jets will start, pistons will not. If I uninstall Acceleration & install SP2 everything is fine. I have tried different startup situations, deleted my FSX config. I have had this happen on 3 different computers with different operating systems with no change. For the record FS2004 works perfect. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Pat

Problem solved. I found a couple of threads about using an older driver. One mentioned 301.42. I tried it & no more problems. Overall faster too. Thanks for all the help. Pat

OK. Here is what I have so far. When I have "Transform & Lighting" off, my aircraft textures are dark & uneven as the screenies show. When I turn it on, my textures are fine but my FPS drops by about 10-12 FPS. I seem to have the flickering stopped. I really appreciate your help BTW. Pat
