Caluma65 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Great shots. You could easily be forgiven for thinking some of these are actual photographs - particularly the first two. Cheers, Calum 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boetie Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Shown off superbly Martyn. Immigrated to Oz as a 17yr old in 1983. We stayed at a migrants hostel under the Storey Bridge for three months. Thanks for the memories, I'll never forget the sound of traffic going over the expansion joints all night. Lol. Cheers Graeme 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Graeme Thanks Graeme, I came in 1981 but we were luckier and stayed with my brother for 6 weeks before our house was ready. My brothers house was close to a junction at the bottom of a hill and my memory was of the V8 cars of the day accelerating up that hill. There were very few V8s in England so the sound was new to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have days and days. Today I have done 2 flights but yesterday I got frustrated and turned it off after about 1 minute. I suppose I have got so used to P3D and XP and at my age it is overwhelming having to try and learn a whole new process. When it goes good I enjoy it. From what I have read from some others we are not alone! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andiflyit Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Great shots Martyn, I like #3. In the #1 and #2 we can see the biggest MSFS problem, if you look in the direction of the sun it's the only thing you can see. If you want to land against the sun you have to switch the daytime. This is easy but not realistic. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I am very impressed with the graphics in MSFS, I have been wondering if they are a bit overdone at some hours/weather etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 superb shots there Martyn, I also have days where I want to throw the whole sim and PC out of the window, been getting 1 error for months, I had hoped my reinstall would have sorted it, but alas not, glad I have Volanta to reset after todays CTD.....okay if I do nothing but sim, message there I guesss.... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This code can happen as error between OS and application but as you said you have reinstalled the OS and the sims and you cannot get rid of it. Therefore it could be a hardware problem with the memory modules, either incompatible or not set correctly in the UEFI/BIOS. If you use overclocked ram modules with xmp activated you can deactivate xmp first. You will still be able to fly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andiflyit Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Did you run some memory test? Because what happens when you restart the PC is that the memory is being reset, so everything which was written to memory before will be deleted than. Can also be that some unwanted application starts during the paperwork or whatever you do which afterwards causes the problems while flying. So you can check the taskmanager before you start the sim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 yeah I did some tests, I was also told the restarts closes everything down properly and that might close down any apps etc that may be causing the problem....this only happens with MSFS, any other sims or my driving games do not have this happen......it is common apparently... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 There has got to be an a solution for this somewhere Wayne, I just know it. IF it is a RAM/memory problem, it can be hard to nail down. Memory tests don't always find out if there is a problem. If you have four sticks of RAM, you can take one pair out and see if the problem still exists. If so, then try the same pair of RAM in the other two slots on your motherboard. If the problem still exists, then repeat both of those attempts with the other pair of RAM. This process rules out sticks of RAM and ALSO the potential for a bad memory slot on the motherboard. It can happen. If you only have two sticks of RAM, then do the same as above but with one stick at a time. Anyhow, nice images you have here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Wayne. All these things are sent to try us. My previous gaming PC had a stupid mother board that would not allow me to make an adjustment that would give me better performance. So running FSX I was at times getting a slide show before the dreaded circle of death. When I did a long haul flight I regularly saved the flight as it was almost impossible to complete it without a crash. Needless to say when I bought a new PC I avoided that manufacturer of motherboard like the plague and touch wood all has been good since then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gerold but in 2020 we only allowed to go to the supermarket and then I shopped via the internet and had my groceries brought out to my car! Remember I exist in Victoria! I have been giving it the biggest bash yet and I am mostly enjoying it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I like about this forum how others will jump in and try and fix Wayne's problem. Knocks the spots off some other caustic forums. Good on ya guys, I hope Wayne finds the solution. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
