    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Global Overdrive

Recently, I had to replace my 3-year old video card with a AMD Radeon (TM) R7 360 Series card.

Although the card works well with all my apps, I'm not so pleased with its performance with FSX. Despite reducing some of my scenery and other settings, I'm still getting fps in the 15 to 20 range whereas my defunct card was running around 30 fps. And since I made some tweaks to the FSX.cfg for my older card, I'm not sure if they would still affect or improve FSX with the newer card.

The newer card is supposedly better than the older card, but I'm struggling on how to set it up. Apparently, I can activate something called "Global Overdirve" which I believe is for overclocking the card, but I'd like to know more.

So... does anyone have any good websites that might help me reconfigure FSX or the video card for better framerate performance?? Or am I stuck with an underperforming video card?? Anyone??
