[Xtreme question]

I just purchased the Xtreme FSX v2 program.  Very nice.  What I'm asking is do I need to run it prior to flying every time or are the settings somehow saved in FSX after the first time?   

[Questions about the demo]

Trying accelerator.  I have a medium grade computer and this looks like exactly what I need.  Got it installed ok and am trying the demo.  I'm obviously not setting it correctly because I'm getting low fps about 10-11 at ksea with bad weather in a scout.  I find that if I get about 18-20 fps in fsx it is pretty smooth.  So I set the lower at 22.  The middle I left alone at 30 which is where fsx is set.  I read the manual but apparently I just don't get it.  Can somebody please explain in very simple terms what I need to do to keep the fsx fps above 20 and then how to get it to go up to the max 30 in nice weather rural scenery to improve the graphics?  I am also looking at the booster and see these work together.  Thanks for any help.

 

 

Edit:  Nevermind.   I read some posts and pretty much figured it out.  Didn't work very well on my computer.  But I did some more looking at the web site and came across the extreme booster.  Looked good and I bought it.   Tried it out and was amazed.  It worked great.  Tried the accelerator with it and I don't think they're compatible.  FPS was significantly lowered and the acc wanted me to change the fps limit from unlimited which didn't work out very well.  Anyway, fsx now works much better with the extreme booster and I'm happy.

[Question about program]

Hi,

Maybe is opens at tray icon? Did you check the start minimized?

Been busy but finally got around to checking it out and got it working fine. Did a comparison test in heavy overcast with loading the three programs normally and then with your program and found an increase of about 10 fps so I'm very happy with it.

[Question about program]

I just bought fsps advanced for fs9, followed the directions and set up fs9 + rex weather + plan-g and executed them all one after the other, then closed them all. So now I want to set up a group to make it easier but the program won't open. I feel like I'm somehow doing something simple wrong but don't know what.

[Questions about MultiCore Advanced]

I'm looking at this, I've checked the literature and am just not sure.

I run FS9 with a P4 2.8 gig dual duo processor. The way I understand it is it will put FS9.exe on one core and everything else on the other core. So other than the few programs running in the background, what goes on the other core? What extra programs in FS9 will go on the other core? How easy is it to set it up? And most important, how much of a difference will it make?

Ok, here's another question, I hope you don't mind a little off topic. I would like to install this program into fs9. I have ultimate terrain. There is a compatibility patch, utusacrg.zip that doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Do you know where it can be downloaded or, if you have a copy, are you able to send it to me?

I had this posted in another forum and someone posted a link so I got it.

[Download]

Hi, I just bought Misty Fjords. Got my key in an email. Trying to figure where to download it from. Looked all over the simmarket page, read the faq, and can't find it. I wrote a ticket to the company but don't know how long they take so I thought I'd ask here.

Found it hidden at the bottom of the email. Please disregard.

[Kind of a dumb question]

It will be interesting to find out about that.

I've downloaded so many area cfg files I doubt if I'd want to make more. And I've downloaded/installed the patch (not the latest obviously). I read where this gives me the full fscargo. Haven't really tried it though.

[Kind of a dumb question]

I just bought Freight Dogs. Looks like a great program. For $20 I get fscargo, two aircraft (been thinking about buying the beaver anyway) and the scenery. I've been wanting to get into bush flying and this seems like a super way. I especially like being able to add different areas and have downloaded many. They all have file names starting with Cra0 or Cra1. Why? What is it? What's the difference? Is it necessary to have one of those in the file name? Thanks.

[Key not working]

Since you usually get problems (like key not working) on this forum, I thought I'd let you know what's going on after a few days of testing. First, I found it works better by itself without wmpro.

I have a very mediocre rig (Sempron 2600/1.6 gig, nvidia 6200, 1 gig ram) so I've been having difficulties getting fs9 to run well. I've been getting poor frame rates, especially with cloudy/rainy/snowy weather. Blurries have been driving me crazy. Can't see autogen in a city more than a half mile or so. I've spent hours trying to improve it and was just about ready to spend $500 on an upgrade.

After installing fsuipc and setting it up, mainly the visibility, I found the frame rates are now acceptable in all weather conditions. I can see autogen several miles out. Then after starting the fs9.cfg from scratch and testing, the blurries are virtually gone.

So spending $30 on fsuipc saved me $500 in upgrades.

[Key not working]

That was the hint I needed. By zooming to 120% I was barely able to discern the S was actually a 5. Impossible to tell the difference at 100%.

One more question. I have Weather Maker Pro. It lists a number of fsuipc options like wind etc. Is it necessary to run wmpro to get these options or will fsuipc do it by itself?

[Key not working]

I just registered fsuipc3. Went to complete the process by entering the information in the module and was given the notice that the key was not valid. I've double checked everything three times (including going online to check the key) and still no luck. Can you help?

Edit: I checked and the digital signature is ok. This is from the log:

[Problem with SimMarket]

Pete, not to beat a dead horse, but this is a case of poor service and poor communication from SimMarket. Not a misunderstanding.

I originally ordered with my Visa debit card. They came back and said it was blocked. No mention at all that they don't accept debit cards.

I don't like to use paypal because it's my wife's business account. I once tried to set up my own but paypal won't because it's the same debit card and checking account. So I followed your suggestion in the documentation and used my debit card with paypal. It looked like it went through fine. There was no button to complete the transaction that I could see. It looked like it was done.

I received a receipt from SimMarket. It said I would receive another email to let me know that I could download the key. When I did not receive it within 24 hours I started a trouble ticket and the result is above.

Poor service. Poor communication.

And rudeness. Look at the tone in their last response. Not the kind of thing you'd expect from a company wanting your business.

I'm sorry there is no other outlet to order fsuipc. This is a lose-lose situation. I don't get your product and you don't get my money.

[Problem with SimMarket]

I agree. A Visa/MC debit card is advertised as usable anywhere. This whole thing is weird. After I wrote a trouble ticket inquiring about my key, this is their response:

Paypal has not passed any payment to us, therefore we cannot deliver your order.

please check with Paypal and eventually reorder directly with your credit card, without using Paypal. Sorry for the inconvinience.

So after declining my card, they are telling me to use it. Here's what I wrote back:

I can't reorder using my credit card. You won't take it. You say it's blocked. I wrote to you about it and you never answered. So how can I get this product?

Their answer:

The answer is the same we gave you last time:

we do not accept debit cards, please use PayPal as with your last order

Why you didn't complete the PayPal transaction is out of our knowledge

They FINALLY told me they don't accept debit cards. However, according to the previous post, only some debit cards.

My final response:

1. It looked like the paypal transaction was completed.

and

2. You sent me a receipt so it seemed the deal was done.

3. If you don't accept debit cards, you should say so on your main page.

4. When I submitted my debit card, you should have said you don't accept them instead of just saying it was blocked.

5. You people are extremely rude.

Pete, if there's some other place or some other way I can order fsuipc for fs9, I will be pleased to do so. I am not going to do business with SimMarket.

[Problem with SimMarket]

I did try to retrieve my key after I didn't receive it within 24 hours. It wasn't there. That's when I did my second trouble ticket.

There was a thread about fsuipc on the SimForum board so I told my woes. Someone advised I post here, that you might be able to help since it was your product. That made sense so I did. If you can't help, I haven't lost anything.

I don't hide my name. I'm not ashamed of anything. Almost everyone uses a nick name on internet forums, less so on flight sim ones though. I've been using rich12545 (first name and dob 12-5-45) for years on many different gaming forums. If you sent my post to SimMarket it will include my order number. That should be enough for them to identity me.

[Problem with SimMarket]

Hi, I have been trying for a few days to buy fsuipc3 (fs9). First I used my Visa debit card. This is the same card that my wife and I use on the internet all the time to buy stuff. SimMarket wouldn't accept it. They said it's blocked. I did a trouble ticket about it. They sent me a stock answer that didn't mean anything and suggested I use paypal. I responded to their response and never heard back.

Then I ordered using paypal. This went through and my order number is 396784. I was sent a receipt. When I didn't get a key within 24 hours I filled out another trouble ticket. They said they didn't get paid from paypal and now not to use paypal but to use a credit card. All I have is a Visa debit card that is good all over except SimMarket. I just responded to their response about this. Maybe I'll hear from them or, like the previous time, maybe I won't.

If you can solve this so I can get a key, I would greatly appreciate it.
