don't worry. I changed an individual setting which had re set itself and all is working.

QUOTE (Pato @ Jun 14 2008, 05:55 AM) Thanks for that. I am not sure what Autosave is so I guess I don't have that program and that will not be my problem. All the same I think I am looking at a reinstall of FS9. I also have VOZ installed. Could this be causing FS9 to stutter?.

The limit is actually 4Gigs of memory address space ... However, as things like Video Cards, Optical Drives, Hard Drives etc. are all run in Direct Memory Addressing (DMA) mode, they take up memory address space... so if you have a 512Meg video card, you're instantly down to 3.5Gigs left for RAM... then throw in a DVD drive and a hard drive or two and you will quickly find you are down to around 3.2 or 3.3Gigs of RAM... I have seen reports that newer versions of Windows actually report total physical RAM... rather than RAM that can be addressed... so you might get different results...

Cool cool ive just read somewhere you just run it at the full res of your screen size for best performance ,so my screen is 1440X900 19inch i think and works sweet no problems ,they also say its best to run fullscreen mode ,but i find that crappier them the window mode i fly in , plus if i do run full screen my other one goes black anyway and i cant see all the other TS / gps / and autopilot windows i have running on the second monitor .. glad ive been helpful alittle today /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif /> mike

hey no worries i should have explained it better but just can't think of the best way since it is so strange but thanks anyhow for your help and i am very open to idears or advice that may help

...and should be working again now for most (others will come over in the next coupla days). Alex

Are there any conflicts between Vista and FS9?

Oh the joys of computers and games!!! QUOTE (HardCorePawn @ Jun 9 2008, 09:12 AM) Hmmm sounds like it is not saving the settings to your fs9.cfg file properly... you might want to setup your controls, and then (with FS9 still running) save a copy of the cfg file... so if it does get lost, you can just copy it back in and yes, there are definitely 2 camps when it comes to CH Manager... The "don't use it" camp, and the wrong camp... ;) Seriously tho, it is not so much an issue of which one is best... but which one works for you... what I do know, is that if...

yeah i know that but ive got firefox install now on my work puter since they stop support for netscape and its slowly buggered up with things like downloads not showing up in the manager and not being able download jpegs at all and many other little bits that have pee me off ,so i install flock on the laptop i have now and nothing has gone to cr@p yet ,i also have put this on my other puters around the house and up in auckland and sweet stable,"4 now " was just a option really i was giving not a fix ,just wish netscape was still around to be used ...but still they use mod fire and...

I don't think your graphics card supports DX9. You'd need to upgrade the graphics card to use FSX.

Thanks Charl, I remembered the megascenery recommendation and have done exactly as you suggest. Richard

OK, right. :whoops: Thanks for that Robin, and the translation HCP :) Haha I do now about the tutorials Robins put together, I wouldn't be doing this without them :) Thanks alot Nick

QUOTE (Trolly @ Jun 3 2008, 04:51 PM) Haha yep, I don't usually work there but they are having a big store revamp and I made myself an easy $150 for changing the coke display around :P sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet I thought you might have been 'borrowing stock'... we used to do that when I was a checkout chick /trolley boy /shelf stacker ... if we had a special on and ran out of stuff, we'd head over to another store in the group and raid their supplies :) Don't laugh... 2 guys and about 12 to 15 chicks on checkouts? I like that ratio! :ph43r: I preferred...

I've just upgraded my machine to an Intel Core 2 E8500 and I've been told that FSX is only hungry on CPU power. So I'm investing in a really good after market cooler and cranking the cpu up to about 4.5ghz which I've been told should run FSX no worries. I personally would go with the E6850.

(From DSE) what would be the best modem to get.

Hi Alister, I am using the same Graffics card and drivers as you are and would be interested in your "Manage 3d settings." in the Nvidia control panel. I am having an antialiasing problem but have no other issues with the card. Nhancer is installed but I do not use this program. Regards Richard

QUOTE (aviation @ May 11 2008, 03:56 PM) Tried installing the 93.21 drivers and it wouldn't allow it because they're too old for my card. In nHancer I have two FS profiles one is just called "MS Flight Simulator 2004" the other "MS Flight Simulator 2004 - Disabled predifined" and I can't delete that profile because it brings up some message relating to nvidia not allow the deletion of predifined profiles :P Exactly, the new nVidia Forceware won't allow you to delete the standard profiles. And, the standard profiles are set only to enhance in-game...

Simply- Yes. Its the video ram has nothing to do with the Physical Ram.
