I am not to bothered by the updating business, gee, MS does that almost weekly sometimes with WIN 7.

True, but you don't have to reinstall the OS then.

I saw some folks offering tips on a quick reinstall though, but it's not like some step up from 1.3 to 1.4 comes with a small patch and a few minutes of patching. If I had to reinstall FSX, I would die.  Shocked

However, let us know how it goes. And lets hope you get some cable internet then.  Smiley

As you mention YBBN, that's a pain, right? Not with the freeware, it's actually fun with that one, but the payware. Ouch!  Grin Well, I saw you have the shadows disabled in your sim. Or is that a wrong impression I get from your screenshot?  Embarrassed

Just mentioning this because I recall some scenery having trouble displaying the ac shadows. Don't ask me why, but some airports feature that lack, even if the things are enabled. Hence my test on Kosta's pictures.




Its the free one i use, the one by ANT, Yeah i have shadows disabled, i must of disabled them but it wont make a difference besides ive enabled them now Smiley

Some of the other settings i use are LOD 6.5, Texture size 2048 ( for the rex clouds ), Autogen extremely dense oh and im using rex water and the sim is set to reflect clouds and sim objects.

I don't rely on my personal results to much as the i7-920 i have atm is faulty and hopefuly in a couple of weeks i will have the $$$ to upgrade to a 3770K and i will be able to better check the performance with out the fear of the dreaded bsod's and i will really be able to push the sim

Sounds very good on the CPU. Mark has just upgraded and seems to be very happy with the new stuff.

On the shadows, you are right, they don't harm the fps. Without them, it looks a bit odd at times in my eyes. You know, the shadow is the soul.  Cheesy I especially like the shadow when approaching and looking out of the VC, seeing it on the ground when turning and things, also on the AI.

Yep. CoolP is right! The i7 3770K has got both FSX and P3D providing fantastic frame rates so far.
I've only had the new stuff, CPU, M/B and RAM, for 3 days, so I am still in the process of reinstalling everything.
FSX is close to done, P3D is not far behind, but the rest is miles behind.
My priority is always the OS, Email, FSX (and P3D nowadays) then the rest. Cheesy Grin

Ive become a format and fresh install expert, i can do it all in a day now.. all me addons and other software i like to have installed Smiley

I assume you are installing everything with a stock clock cpu Markoz as it has been known for corruption to creep in on both the sim and windows, not everyone will have issues and its probably less than 1% that do ( i have been in that 1% in the past ), i dont take the chance.. always stock now when doing a fresh install of everything.

I can't believe it. I purchased, downloaded and installed without single problem.  Cheesy

How shall install CS 727/707 ? Embarrassed

Update:
1-I drag 707 file to 3DFSX. When I opened 707 has no landing gear, controls doesn't work. I deleted file.

2- 3D influence to FSX and making many changes. All "Add-ons" drop menu disappeared, NO more Scenery 120-127 all gone.
I think, 3D running  FSX for its purposes  .

How shall install CS 727/707 ? Embarrassed

Any advise?? Huh

I'm not much of an overclocker. I tend to run my CPU's at their stock speed. On my previous CPU, an i7 870, I ran it at its stock speed of 2.93GHz and only overclocked it a couple of times to around 3.2/3.4GHz, but it never stayed there for long. But because I have the 3770K, I might actually go ahead and do it, but I doubt I will try to push it too far, it's not my style. Shocked

I'm pretty good at redoing everything (format, OS, FSX etc.) as this is about my 3rd or 4th time this year. I don't mind doing it because it cleans up everything, but that doesn't stop it from being a PITA. Grin

Ive decided to use P3D as my second sim, as its not ready for me to use it as my main sim i think, i cant fly my CS757 over orbx scenery due to g3d crashes, while fsuipc plugs the bug in fsx it does not in p3d 1.4 Sad

I need stability over performance.

Fingers crossed FSUIPC Pete can work his magic in p3d again Smiley

The Orbx folks have updated their libraries just a few days ago, for both sims. Maybe that helps in your case.  Undecided

I have not yet used the SBSL with my Orbx scenery in P3D (v1.4). I did in v1.3 and got a good performance, even better than FSx. But my i7 870 still got bogged down in the AU YMML v2 and AU YBBN areas which made me use the default scenery the most. P3D default scenery appears to be better than FSX default scenery (IMO).

But CoolP is right, Orbx released a new library set: ORBXLIBS 120825 Dual Installer Now Available. There is a link in the forum, but not on the FTX Support page (I wonder why?).

The updated orbxlibs are no help.

Markoz the sbsl's no longer work you have to use the migrator tool, if you brought the sbsl's you should have some store credit where you got them from Smiley

I was playing with the Swap wait timeout and that helped but it also brought with it another crash Sad

Sorry. I couldn't remember what they were called, so I called them SBSL's. I never bought any SBSL's, so no store credits for me. Grin

When i build my new pc i plan to do some tests and see how it goes as i will be installing p3d first just to see if i can get it to g3d crash on a clean set up with no addons or other bits installed.

I'm already missing the performance gains of p3d and the sharp ground textures Sad

Has Kosta altered his performance comparison? All the shots are gone. I didn't write him yet.  Cheesy But I saw Mr. Kok pointing out some things on the AES stuff.

@gandy. What is a g3d crash? Did I ask this before? Because I thought I had, but can't find where I might have asked. Undecided
