Air Hauler is a neat program for FSX. You can make your own virtual air freight company. You can open bases around the world, build up your fleet of aircraft, and fly cargo for customers - the program monitors your flight and records fuel purchases, landing fees, repairs to aircraft and that all important income from shipping cargo around the world.

Anyway, I started my own company called War Eagle Air which is based out of Auburn, AL (KAUO.)

Most of the freeware I've found has been for the H-J ATL airport itself.

One note of caution though, you will need a registered version of the FSUIPC to take advantage of all aspects of this great looking bird. Here's the note from their website: Note: A registered version of FSUIPC is required for proper FADEC Operation.

Try editing the "Flaps 0" and 1 sections, specifically under "lift_scalar= 0.399", and perhaps try settings of maybe 0.500, or 0.700, if that doesnt work, try 0.200...]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:31:15 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2904482.html#Post2904482 PMFG 747X...finally. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2904333.html#Post2904333 Helo_Head

Great jet, too bad about the FPS though, defiantly lower, the MD-11 gets better FPS, on a par with LDS 763 FPS.]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:08:58 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2904333.html#Post2904333 Super Bug... http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2903771.html#Post2903771 STARRON1

I've noticed that planes will start acting buggy if the computer is overworked by autogen, traffic, etc. Look for a pattern; if the FM becomes unstable when you're at a busy airport or at a major population center, but is otherwise fine when in a more relaxed environment, you may have to dial back some of your settings some more.]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:13:49 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2903253.html#Post2903253 russian jet http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2902853.html#Post2902853 Heretic

Ok, my thoughts. I wish I could agree with the original poster, but I can't.

This may sound like a rant, but its not. These are my opinions only and I am sharing them because they are on topic, and I would like to advise anyone considering a purchase of a video card for use with FSX.

I have been an ATI Booster since I got rid of my 3dfx Voodoo 3 card and got an Radeon 7000, and I have bought "a card a year" from them since then, but the one I have now will be the last, and its days are numbered.

First, a little about my current system. Its an Intel Quad CPU @2.66Ghz w/8 gigs of RAM. Its running and ATI 4650 w/1 gig on the card. The O/S is Vista 64 bit. The system was professionally built for me.

Heres the thing. Red Orchestra? Awesome - looks and plays great at crazy resolutions and frame rates. All of my NFS and other road games? Fantastic. Legacy games, like Janes WWII and Panzer Elite? Great, just great.

However, and its a big however; volumetric clouds in IL2? Nope. Detailed clouds in FSX? No way. Period. In both cases, I can turn clouds off, turn everything else up to max, fill the terrain with all kinds of stuff, and its great, with very high frame rates, but, turn on the clouds, and its over. With the clouds on, even if I turn the rest of the stuff down, my frame rates are in the teens at best.

Others I know with similar rigs and Nvidia cards are simply not having this problem. A trouble ticket to AMD gets the response that, to get to the point, FSX is no longer in production and so although they have heard the reports of these problems, they are not going to re-engineer their drivers to fix them. Thats their decision, and I'm going to make mine.

So, do some hunting on the forums on this issue, I have, and I am done with ATI/AMD.

The original poster sees a huge difference between the previous drivers and the 9.9s, I see no difference whatsoever. It is not a "phantom problem" it is a known issue, and I doubt very strongly it is going to get fixed.

I only wish I had done this research before I spec'd my rig - I could have saved myself a lot of grief and frustration.

My 2 cents....

OK, my second edit. Writing all this down made me pull the plug, and go Nvidia. While I am awaiting my free cookie, I have to tell you I really cannot believe the difference, and NO tweaking required. Wow - I really had no idea.

Anyways, I took my old card and THREW IT TO THE GROUND! Welcome to the real world, ATI!

edited to correct card type, I said 4600, its actually a 4650..
