Thank you sir!

After I posted, I did find after a search that if I were to delete the LogBook.bin file it should clear the issue - it did! 

FSX started, but I havn't attempted a flight yet.

Hopefully all will be good!

Good morn!

I've tried several methods to get FSX running, but to no avail. 

When I open FSX, UT loads (with it's music), and then the FSX screen appears and it just spins.  The Task manager says its not reponding.

I tried to let it rebuild the config file, but no luck.

Any help is appreciated!

W7, i860

Hey all,

Ok, I'm running an old HD5770, on an I860 at 3.4Ghz,   Any suggestions for CCC settings? I'm going to do a build this summer, but in the meantime...

Here's  my current settings:

Yes, the CCC. I'll try changing all to app controlled, but there's a few other settings I'm wondering about:

In order as they appear now in my CCC:

AA Mode- app settings

AA Samples - app settings

Filter- Edge detect

AA Method - Multisampling

Morph Filtering - Off

Aniso Filtering - app sett

Aniso Filter level- app sett

Texture Filtering: HQ

Surface Format : On

Vertical Refresh-Always off

Open GL Off

Tess Mode- Override app sett

Max Tess - Off

According to the CCC, we can add profiles? Prior drivers and CCC's had more profiles, am I missing any? I guess I mean more "settings", not game profiles.

Thanks for your help!

I installed the 13.2 Beta 5 for the new 3DMark. No visible difference. Though the CCC has received a makeover.

I noticed you have the 5770, I have the same card. Can you list, or PM me your settings, or a link to such? I just loaded the 13.1 the other day, and would like to see what I've done as compared to another 5770.

I have the 13.1 downloaded, but can't seem to find anyone offering settings. Can anyone provide what seems to work?

That makes sense, I had to do that a while back for the other identity after my wife had issues. I totally forgot! I shall give it a go later today, I'll let all know if it works!

Of all the searches I did, I don't recall seeing the one in the link you provided. :rolleyes:

(Checkdisk was done too...)

Thanks, Ramon!

This has been driving me nuts, I thought I resolved the issue but:

For the last few weeks, when I start Windows, it gets to the welcome screen, with two identities. When I click on mine, it just hangs there and spins. I force a shutdown, it comes back and ask for safe mode option, I skip it and it, log on as usual and then it starts normally.

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The other identity works fine everytime.

I searched the web, and I see several suggestions, which includes a repair option using a W7 OS disk.

I've tweaked Windows, using NickN's list, and actually re-did the whole thing. I run O%O dfrag, Malewarebytes and ESET Scans and nothing "bad" shows. New GPU driver installed as well, and Windows is updated as required. System restore is off.

But now here's the big question:

If I use the repair option, will it override the tweaks?

Has anyone encountered this, or have any suggestions?

Now i am not a RW pilot either (i have flown gliders) but if you would wake me up at 3AM in the morning my experience with NGx would make me:

1. establish if enough fuel is onboard to divert

2. If so first climb out of the valley to a safe altitude (using terrain info from ND) using the A/P.

3. call up the fmc to find out if i can divert to a airport with a long enough and cat III equiped runway (probably munich or linate)

4. Establish communication with ground to get assisted by a really good capable 737 instructor

5. Perform an autoland on the best possible runway at munich or linate where atc would make sure all other traffic is out of the way.

6. Start the APU before final

7. Have the aircraft come to a halt on autobrake (i would be able to reverse the engines).

8. Put APU on the bus

9. Shutdown engine 1 and 2.

10. evacuate the passengers i guess. Ground services (firedept etc would be ready at the rw anyway).

 

BTW: i couldn't care less about this talk of Company SOP. We are talking here about a emergency where a non trained individual (me) would be required to put the plane down. THe company cant fire me for not following SOP as i was not hired by them at all.

 

Btw: If everything would be really perfect i might ask tower to taxi to a gate but i guess that would never be allowed.

 

And yes this is dreaming. Never will happen as the 737 is flown by a compliment of two and they even take the precaution still not have the same dinner stuff.

 

My guess is however i could pull off 1-10 and my point is that my sim experience would prevent me from trying to do a circle to land on lowi when possible and know how to get to this alternate solution.

Three AM ?!

I'd have to hit the head first!

Ok, I just had to say it:

"Yup, right to the scene of the crash site, and I bet we'll beat the paramedics by 20 minutes!" (line from a famous comedian, "Tater-Salad"!)

A friend of mine is retired USAF, and is an active 737 pilot, it's all about systems knowledge, situational awareness, and "balls". You'll never know until you're in that situation....

Perfect conditions when on approach, winds, weather, systems, and all of the other unknown variables that can turn in moment?

I'd raise my hand if I had to.

I noticed a flicker on my second monitor, and it was indeed the GPU, I had it o/c'd a bit, set it back to default and had no flicker.

Ok here's my set up for the throttle, in FSX w/o FSUICP. I have a complete setup for the default FSX aircraft, and this works for the PMDG 744. I'm sure FSUICP will make it much easier, but until then...

This is for a set up for the throttle quad functions only, with the spoiler being on the left, throttle in the middle and flaps on the right. (red , black and blue knobs changed accordingly) I have trim settings and other functions set up on the yoke to my own desire, such as ATC, views etc. Those are up to you and how you prefer the settings! I like to fly tubers, so I leave it as is...

If anyone can find a better set up, or tweak these to function better (other than using FSUICP), please let me know! The only quirks I have found is that the spoiler may need to be reset if fully deployed, just move the lever up out of the "bottom zone (button 21) There may be some tweaks that will make it work better...give it a try..ans let me know!!

Settings and Controls

Control Axes

Controller type -- Saitek Pro Flight Yoke

Event-

Flaps Axis - Y Rotation - Check in “reverse box”

Spoiler Axis - Z Axis - No check in box

Throttle Axis - X Rotation - No check in box

Buttons / Keys

Controller type -- Saitek Pro Flight Yoke

Event category - All events

Spoilers(extend/retract) under joystick choose button 21 and no repeat (slider to the full left)

Throttle(decease quickly) under joystick choose button 22 and full repeat (slider to full right)

Flaps (extend fully) under joystick choose button 23 and half repeat (this extends flaps to 30)

Calibration

Controller type -- Saitek Pro Flight Yoke

Under Spoiler Axis set sensitivity to the full right, null zone full left.

With this set up, you can use spoilers at any angle of deployment in flight to decrease speed.

I too have the flaps, spoiler, speed brakes, thrust-rev thrust set up om mine, with no FSUIPC. (just one quad though -for ow) I'm not at my machine, buy I'll send the set up when I get a chance. Although I will get the full version at some point, just due to it's ease in setting up other functions as well.

I'm saving all of my cans and bottles for rebate! A new 747.... I can't wait!

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the legality of taking control and you aren't licensed to. Probably breaking a few FARs there.By the way if you crash and I'm on board, who do I sue? You or the airline?No offense to anybody's skills? Just a question.

I could probably fly the aircraft right to the scene of the crash site..... :Hypnotized:But seriously...maybe with ATC guidance. We can do amazing things under pressure, I would certianly try!

Would love to see an Electra!!

There's some stuff on AMD's gpu's here:http://www.tweakguides.com/There's one on the 7000 series, not sure if it covers your issue. There was a good explanation of the "older" AMD gpu's, it helped me a lot!Hope it helps!-V

I too recently added a second monitor, with the same results. As this point I'm using the second to view items such as the FMC, radiostack, ATC window etc...until I get time to sort through to find a fix. It's not bad having all the clutter off the VC!I was hoping for a much better result though.-V

Did you completely remove the old driver before upgrading to the new one, as per AMD's instructions?-V

Maybe now a Pogo Stick simulator is in the works ....

Just disable HT in the BIOS and be done with it.Vic

I guess I'm asking if the 84 turns off HT, or leaves it on? Or what is the best config for my system.....I know I need to just try different values and see!I won't be able to do much flying and tweaking till the end of next week, going on vaca!V

Ok....After the Bojote tweak, my AM says 84.Is that correct?V

Greetings!I tried to fly the 747 with the new control setup, and it doesn't work. I'm using FSX, with FSCIUP4 and when I try to activate the flight surfaces, they just shudder a bit. All other default aircraft works with the Saitek set up.Any ideas?V
