I find that I need to recalibrate my joystick quite often - is this normal
?

 I'm having a blast with the missions, but for some reason it seems that
each mission has its own graphics settings assigned to it which are
independent of the very low settings that I use for the rest of the sim. Is
there a way to override this? Flying in slide-show-a-vision ...

Hi Simmers,
I installed FS-9 on a computer that has on-board video and
the frame rates are darn good,  with most sliders
maxed.....always around 40.   I got a 7600GT-PCIe card with

I've noticed when trying to assign the number 1 rotary on the throttle
quadrant of an X52 joystick to various functions in FS9, the
assignment doesn't always seem to "take."  After fiddling around for a
while, I decided to look in the fs9.cfg file, and I discovered that

Hi and thanks in advance for any help:
2 disks loaded fine on the XP64 side of my dual boot PC.  However, on the
very same PC, XP 32 side, it loads disk 1 then stops after I switch over the
CD when change to disk 2 is prompted.  Load CD 2 and click the ok, and then

Got FSX for Christmas and after a few days with it I really don't know what
to think. I have a modest system that has an Athlon 3200 XP, 2Gb Ram and an
AGP GeForce 7600 GS with 512Mb of onboard ram.
For me FSX runs extremely poorly and that is with all the tweaks recommended

Is it possible to re-size the mini-panel (the one you get with less
instruments when you press W) in FS9?

although I can grab the edges of most panels to resize them, the mini-panel

My machine is a Core2duo e6700, 8800 GTX card, 2 GB fast corsair RAM,
runs everything else silky smooth.
When I try to fly in this game, the framerate is so bad, and the
graphics look so 1980 8-bit Atari that I have to conclude something is

Got FSX for XMAS . Trying the glider mission and the rope breaks. Can't seem
to get the feel of the tow. Is there a "trick" I should be aware ?

Hi folks. Got back yesterday from a tour in Asia (India, Thailand,
Cambodia & Vietnam).  Had a great time - especially as it was 5% work
and 95% leisure! I flew a lot of flights during my trip and at one
stage thought I'd ask the group about something I noticed.

Does anyone know if we got the ability to adjust for sunup/sundown?  I live
in Arizonza...no DST so the FSX sunup sundown is about an hour off here??

In the default 737-400, there is a "Mini Panel" with 5 gauges.
When you press the "W" keystroke, you see these 5 gauges when
you may be trying to land as a example.
I found using FSPS, I could add a DME gauge to this Mini Panel

I got FSX for a Christmas present.
Here's the hardware specs:
Chaintech S1689 motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3200+

Is anyone else having problems logging into FSX Multiplayer, or is it just me?
Thanks!

Yes, it's the same old sad story, there the other woman, the drink, the
divorce, dad moves out and...
oh, wait, wrong story!
In FS9 I am missing some runway lighting like MALSR and PAPI.  Sometimes
