I think the scenery of the vid you describe is the Tom Curtis stuff, although I can't remember which Javier said it was. http://store01.prostores.com/servlet/x-planestore/Categories?category=Scenery4XP

Can't... too... distracted.....

I like this plane and post this in case it interests you to build. Just throwing ideas at you Pics http://www.taildraggeraviation.com/spartanphotos.html Why? Low tech 1930s aircraft - no heavy programming required Luxury all the way Dream to fly Interesting taildragger Small aircraft should be a shorter development Resources http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=989347

You may find that the GPU isn't the limiting factor in your computer - it might be the processor which is causing the bottleneck. What CPU do you have and how much RAM?

Javier, you had any thoughts about making any scenery - airports etc? Perhaps a wide coverage of major airports in moderate detail would sell well in x-plane and be interesting to make? Something like "Major US airports" (KJFK, KLAX, KDEN, FSFO, KMIA...) or "Major European Airports" (EGLL, LFPG, EDDF, ...) etc I don't know how interesting you'd find that compared to aircraft, but it's something sorely missing.

Will the turbines spin in the final version? and related - will there be engine startup effects?

The sim crashed on the way back I think you're right and its a driver issue. The more I read, the more I discover that ATI users on x64 operating systems are having a hard time. Shame too, as I'm starting to get bitten by the x-plane bug. On the flight I was able to complete (9.3beta12) the fps took a steady downward slope from 40fps on takeoff to 19fps on landing. I'm going to assume this is a beta issue (even though I had switched pixel shading off). The return flight I tried with the 9.22 install. Clean 100+fps all the way until it caused a video driver crash. Shame. I think it might be around the places it load in new scenery (where I get a stutter). If it is my card, only thing I can do is swap the card over for my old nvidia 7800GT, but considering the card is both new and expensive - I don't want to (I also fly FSX, FS2004 plus other games on this machine). How do I report it?

to reply to my own thread Turning off AA and dropping AF down to 1 allowed me to make the run from klax to ksfo (~1hr). Will do the run back and see if that holds.

System core i7 d0 920 ATI 4870x2 6GB Ram Vista x64 / win7 x64 Catalyst 9.5 xplane 9.22 / xplane 9.30b12 Windowed mode Problem xplane 9 on any flight of duration (say 15mins +) will stop responding. Most of the time it just freezes, sometimes it causes the video driver to crash. Happens with different aircraft at different locations. Attempted fixes (no joy) removed plugins and scenery cleared prefs reinstall (which was updated to 9.22 (using 9.3beta12 for main install)) run with the --no_vbos switch disabled second monitor tried in full screen any ideas?

So.. I fly for a virtual airline, 2 to be exact. Normally, I use Flight Simulator X and use FSPassengers to record flight details such as duration of flight, duration of time on the ground (gate to runway, runway to gate), touchdown speed etc. I'm determined to give x-plane a proper trial and that means getting past all the things that initally put you off when migrating from FSX. The more time I spend with X-plane, the more it grows on me. Is there anything for X-Plane that will do this for me? I'm really not one for writing down these details as I go. I use XPUIPC to get moving map capability on FSCommander so I can use that for flight planning which was a big deal (can't import airport data from x-plane so using fsx data atm), unfortunately Radar Contact doesn't work (if only it didn't spawn a window inside FSX, it might work!). I read a post regarding some king of logger by Indi on the xplane.org forums http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?showtopic=28094 but the link is broken.

I bought the Javelin this morning from SimMarket (so I didn't have to wait) to get a taste for the CRJ I intend to buy when complete, I understand there is another store you also sell through. From reading the patch notes, I think the aircraft is the initial release (ie it needs patches 1 and 2) becuase i get the dancing needle on the ground and daytime light reflection on the outside. How can I get the v2 patch? Regards,
