THE LUSCOMBE AND THE PA-22

[beana51]

HI, I have had these two masterpieces for a long time. I upgraded my CP,and re: D/L and RE: installed these two among the many "LYONS" aircraft. With the two mentioned above ,I started after a moment or two getting,wildly fluctuating FRs.From 65FRs to 9 FRs.Those numbers not normal for me.Other wise I am pleased with the performance of this set up,in all other area"s and functions
I"m currently running: XP PRO
Intel pent.3.0 GHZ
2 GP ram
nivida gf 6600gt
91.31 driver
Thanx in in advance for any comments or help. VIN

Vin, try commenting out the Radio/CD gauge in both. I think that will help stabilize the frame rate

[beana51]

Thanks much. Your solution worked. Here I was ready to ask that freckly faced kid in the back bench if he touched something!But his mother objected.
Some day I'll figure out what that connection was.In any event,and thanx again,she flys beautifully.
Regards,Commander Cody! VIN

Glad it worked. My experience has been that the Radio/CD gauge does not play well with some sound cards and that causes resource conflicts. I have two computers and they work fine on one but had to be disabled on the other.

Are you saying that even if your not using the Pacer or any other plane that has the CD radio it could slow the sim down? OR, is this just while your using the aircraft AND the radio? I can't see where it would effect the sim if your not flying those AC....

I think my FS runs too slow... less than 10 FPS... I get the same lousy FPS with or without flying the Pacer. Also, what do you mean by"...commenting out the Radio/CD gauge in both".

I can't say for sure if the Radio/CD gauge will be a problem unless you are flying the plane it is installed it. I just don't know.

Here's a section of the TriPacer panel.cfg with the radio/CD gauge commented out. Putting 2 slashes in front keeps the gauge from loading. You'll also see a number of other gauges commented out as well

Thanks, I will try it, and "See" what happens. It can't hurt to try
