  1. Thanks you guys, it was the Captain Sim 707 that started this error - my sim is running smoothly again! I'm using the estonia migration tool and they have an update that completely fixes the issue, so there was no reinstall needed - Here is a link to the fix I used: http://board.flights...upt-prepar3d-v2
  2. Anyone else had this happen? I checked and all my files are in their correct folders, but this error pops up every time I run the sim - if anyone has had this before or has advice, that'd be appreciated! Thanks! -Sam
  3. Hello! I was wondering if anyone else may be having the issue of the F-22's gear sinking into the pavement on landing... It's happened multiple times to me now and I was wondering if there was possibly a work around. Thanks so much! Best regards, -Sam Cordell

  5. I'm trying to configure a new machine with the main purpose being running FSX. There are a number of issues/trade-offs that I'm not sure how they will affect performance of FSX. Don't want to spend an extra $200 for an extra .3 FPS, but do want to really get the most FPS I can. Here is a list of the issues I am currently thinking about: 1. i7 2600k/2700k or 3820? Right now I'm planning on CyperPowerPC as vendor for my new machine, which means a 3820 processor (I would get the 3.6Ghz plus the "30% or more" over-clocking option). But I've heard that the 2600k might be more easily over-clockable. And I've heard that processor speed is pretty much the key to high perf FSX. Should I be worried about the 3820? Seek out a 2600k machine elsewhere? 2. Over-clocking in general. Never done it before. Should I be scared -- is it a black art or pretty straight-forward nowadays? Is choosing the 30% rated parts the smart way to go? 3. Video card. I will confess that I will play some games other than FSX. I am debating between the NVidia 560 GTX ti, and the NVidia 670 GTX. Will the 670 actually have any effect on FSX vs. the 560? Or will I be so CPU bound that the GPU won't matter? 4. Memory speed. Planning on 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz, 4 sticks of 4 each. I realize this is more memory than FSX will need. But would the faster memory (2000Mhz) have any effect on framerate in FSX at all? 5. Motherboard. Planning on the ASUS P9X79 deluxe. Not sure if this is the best choice for over-clocking or not. I've heard some motherboards are "easier" to overclock than others. Is this motherboard overkill? 6. CyberPowerPC. Is this a good choice. Any other gaming machine providers I should be considering? 7. Timing. I might wait until early July to order. If I were to do that, is there anything on the near horizon that makes waiting make more sense? 8. SSD vs spinning disk. I know I can't afford an SSD big enough to hold my FSX install and data. But should I be getting an SSD (120GB, or 240GB) as my boot drive? If I do, what effect will it have on FSX in terms of loading time? I am close to pulling the trigger on this machine, but I want to make sure I'm not making a mistake on some of these choices, because it'll be my machine for a couple of years or more. Any help is greatly appreciated.
  6. I began using Microsoft Flight Simulator when I was 5 years old. I was very proud when I landed the default 747 is FS 2004, and now I realize just how much more realistic FSX with payware add ons is!
  7. Im 13, and I've spent many hours surfing the PMDG site. I believe that flight simulation is a wonderful hobby if you would like to become a pilot! I really want to. I would like to give a big thanks to the PMDG team as well. PMDG has added a whole new level of realism to FSX, and I cannot wait to see what is to come! Thank you.
  8. Hey! I was wondering if any fellow FLIGHT beta testers had this same experience.. If you went into the top view of a plane in an early flight beta, and zoomed all the way out, you could see the whole world. There was scenery everywhere, but I couldn't make out its detail level. At first, that made me feel good, but after reading the interview with Mr. Howard, I'm getting mixed results. Either way, I'm loving flight, even though I'm a crazy-hard-core FSX'er. Thanks! -Sam C.
  9. I've got an iMac (2.93ghz i7) with bootcamp and Windows 7 64bit and it runs amazingly! Super smooth at medium to high settings.
  10. Yeah, that engine sounds really nice. I did an audio swap with Final Cut Pro sounds, so sadly, none of this is in game sound.
  11. I usually keep the old games that turn up in a drawer or box, but if your moving, you might want to pair down and sell a couple you never want to use again. Just an idea. Have a nice move!
