Martin,

I cant help you with your attachment problems as I’ve never uploaded images to these forums but I’d be interested to know your opinion and see your shots of the Alpha T6

If you’re gettting a crash with hardware acceleration enabled there is certainly something wrong.

It could be either hardware or software related. The first thing I would do is check the display drivers are up to date and that you have an up to date version of Direct X is installed (9.0c is the current version) Once you have updated the display drivers I would recommend running dxdiag. To do this click start, run and type dxdiag into the box and run through the test options on the display tab.

If you the problem persists after a driver update I would suggest checking the hardware. Do you have an alternative graphics card you can try ?

You may find resolving this initial problem improves the performance loss you experiance on two displays, however running two displays will always reduce performance significantly.

Let us know how you get on ?

I have added a few pictures located online which I believe maybe KI ‘warming up’

It may be my eyes playing up (it is 3.30am after all) but the aircraft on the left that looks like ‘KI’ appears to be an earlier (B/C) ‘razorback’ Mustang rather than a P51D. I dont have the technology at work to clean the image up but the aircraft on the right looks like a ‘D (possibly KY codes ?)

Also I’m not familiar with USAF unit codes but was under the impression that (as per the RAF) the single letter was the individual aircraft identifier ? The damaged aircraft carries X and the ‘razorback’ is Q.

X-Plane includes the shuttle. It’s a flight sim rather than a space sim but it’s a fun approach to fly !

If you’re sure the problem lies with FS9 and not your hardware try making deleting you FS9.CFG file (make a backup first)

Next time FS9 starts all your settings will be reset to default anf FS will have built a new cfg file. Resist the urge to immedaately up the settings but run it as default for a while, then gradually change on setting at a time.

As Blue Robin also pointed out similar error occur with the scenery cfg file, you can also try making a backup and deleting the original, but bear in mind you will be disabling scenery add ons by doing this.

Hope this helps,

Bruce

Got it, love it, hate flying without it.

Expensive but worth it, the best FS hardware I’ve ever invested in, with the possible exception of rudder pedals.

I can’t help with the tail wheel issue but you should find that SHIFT+E opens the canopy and possible SHIFT+E+1 or SHIFT+E+2 opens the door ?

Another option might be to click on the door handle inside the virtual cockpit.

i dont know anything about flying a plane

Start in the default Cessna 172. Everything you learn here can be used as you progress to other aircraft. You’ll need a joystick if you dont already have one, and just remember:

Pull the joystick back = houses get smaller.

Push it forwards = houses get bigger.

Hope This Helps ! 🙂
