| Heh, heh, yes he's already into it a little but his mother thinks I'm off the deep end with this "video game" so I'm reluctant to introduce him to the "finer points of simming" until he asks about them. In the meantime he's in love with the Carenado 206 on floats and actually does a pretty good job of using his flaps, gear, etc. I've shown him very little about actually flying the airplane, and only in very small doses, but somehow he's managed to put all the pieces together on his own and can now pull off some fairly meaningful flights. :smile:

| I've never been able to get any of FSX's little SDK add-ons to work actually, which is the reason for the delay in my reply. After some extensive experimenting and a little research I believe my problem is lack of the SP2 version SDK. :blush: I have that in my hot little hand right now so I'll let you know on that one if I can get it to work. I'm hopefully heading towards FSX real soon with a new i7 950 build so I'm very interested in checking this out.

I have a few initial questions about your computer as I prepare some info for you: :Nerd:
* What version of Windows are you running (ex: Windows 98 SE, Windows XP Home or Pro, Windows Vista) ?
* How much total system RAM in MB or GB ?
* What type / speed / quantity are the system RAM memory modules (ex: (2) - 512 MB 333MHz PC2700 DDR DIMM modules = 1 GB total) ?
* Which Motherboard (aka "mobo") model and Revision (from the silkscreen printed onto that main board inside the case) ?
* If a commercially built production line / store bought system, what Manufacturer, model name, and/or "part" number is it ?
* What exact Model of the NVidia GeForce 7800 do you have ? (click "Choose a Card" pick-list button above your card at):
http://www.gpureview...d1=43&card2=382
* What manufacturer made the video card if not NVidia themselves (ex "EVGA" etc.) ?
* What version of the NVidia driver for the GeForce 7800 are you using ?
* Are you presently using any 3rd party utilities with that video card (ex: nHancer, RivaTuner etc.) ?
* Are you familiar with how to enter the motherboard BIOS setup screen during power-up of your computer ?
If so...
* What is your AGP Aperture Size set at (ex: 64, 128, 256 MB) ?
Also...
* What's the system RAM module Column Address Strobe (CAS) latency, aka 'CL' setting (ex: 3, 2.5, or 2 on 333 MHz systems) ?
http://en.wikipedia....iki/CAS_latency
* What hard drive type / RPM speed (ex: Parallel ATA / Ultra DMA 100/133 mbps @7200 RPM, Serial ATA-I 150 mbps @7200 RPM etc.) ?
If you prefer, feel free to send this info to me via a PM here at AVSIM.
FYI: Only a portion of this info is required before I send you the 'initial' FS9.Cfg tweaks, so if these hardware details are as yet unfamiliar, let me know, and I'll send some initial generic tweaks likely to still work for you until we've ID'd the specs above (all this gratis, of course !) :Angel:
The FSX Deluxe version has the required base components for the FSX SDK, and IIRC, one can then get the freely-downloadable SDK SP1 and SP2 updates to install on top of that.
http://www.fsdevelop...ation_%28FSX%29
PS: You might have a more 'complete' FSX experience using Deluxe version with Acceleration
NOTE: It's cheapest to get both buying "FSX Gold" aka "Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Gold Edition" [PC Game]

Also, one must manually activate the FSX Visual Effects Tool (VisualFx.dll) in the "active" dll.xml file for it to be available:
http://www.simforums...topic31522.html
BTW: This utility comes in handy for some edits to the "active" FSX system XML files:
ModuleToolX 0.4

| Forceware version 163.71 which I think was the current version when I bought the card. I tried several newer driver versions as they were released back in those days, but IIRC there was always some issue with AA using the newer drivers. I also tried Nhancer and had similar issues so I got rid of all of it and went back to 163.71 which has given fairly staisfactory results. I have AA off in the sim and "8xS" in the Nvidia control panel. I'm also using the ENB HDR bloom plug-in. Chances are there's a version available now that may work better, I adopted the "If it ain't broke don't fix it" attitude shortly after the struggles with AA and newer drivers and stopped upgrading. This is incidentally one of the infamous Nvidia cards that invoked countless "My select aircraft preview window is completely black" threads in all the forums back in those days.

| I sent you a PM here at AVSIM ! :wink:
PS: I forgot to ask: are you already using the "/3 GB switch" in your Windows XP Pro Boot.ini file in conjunction with an FS9.exe file edited to set the LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE flag ? :Confused:

| I suspect I'm having some latency problems of video vs. audio that might be related to autogen as well and tweaked by fs9 settings. I'd like to try out your tweaks, so could you please send them to me? If yes, I'll PM you.
Thanks,
