X-Plane 10 and the home cockpit user.

Hi Bob

Yes and all was ok! I have had an initial response on the X-Plane forum from a "helper" who tells me that my problem is the because of my outdated machine which is a 3ghz core 2 duo with nvidea 9600gt graphics card with 512meg and 4gig on board. It runs FSX quite well though

Hopefully I will get a more considered response from someone better qualified to assist - dont you just like forums where the main incentive is to show off THEIR perceived knowledge

The preferred spec on X-Plane site is a 3ghz multi core cpu with 4gig memory and a graphics card with 1024meg

Trying to narrow down the crashes, however, I have a much faster machine on order!!

Regards

David

What OS and are you running the newest video driver for your card?

Bob
I am using XP with sp3 and believe that I have the latest driver, but will check later. X-Plane now seems to be behaving itself, though I will wait a while yet

I use XP on my Mac but my sim is on Win7 and XP10 runs perfectly on both, I notice your using XP and when I tried to install XP10 on the WinXP computer to test the scenery conversion program that indeed crashed to desktop also so could be something to do with WinXP?? AS Win7 and MAC it runs perfect

Hi Rhys

Thanks, though I would expect the X-Plane forum/team to be aware of this? Anyway, I have a new faster machine on Win 7 arriving shortly, so will reserve judgement for a while

Will post again then

I have updated the video driver and all seems ok sofar. One great improvement is the runway lights in FSX are much smaller
