SOH-CM-2026
Yes, I bought a new computer!
FSX only so far, but boy, does it look good!
Nearly everything to the right, no problems.
Too bad my screenshooter stubbornly refuses to take pictures of it in full screen, what is this?
And why do I have to say "hide menu bar" twice? Why doesn't the thing disappear automatically, like in FS9?
And can someone tell me (again) how to get rid of those red messages (like spot view etc)?
Now, I have to install all my aircraft, scenery, weather and I don't know what else..will keep me happy for a while I think.
Anyway, here's the first shot I managed to squeeze out of it, the good old Mustang. BIG screen, did I tell you that yet? (OK, just 22'). Come on Bomber, I need that FSX version!
 
congrats on the new comp!

you add the line HideInfoText=1 to the end of the [MAIN] section of the FSX.cfg (C:\Documents and Settings\**your user name**\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX)

As for screenshots, i use FSScreen, works a charm :jump:

In Vista, that will be **your user name**\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

Because it is FSX and not FS2004!!!

Sorry JanKees, but I just couldn't resist :costumes:

Is there way to remap the view hotkeys? Eg so that [F11] would give me 'spot' instead of 'locked spot'. Or that [F12] would give me something else that 'top down'.

Congrats on the new purchase! Do you mind posting your specs? I'm in going to be making a purchase within the next month or so and interested in seeing what's working well for people.

I do it through FSUIPC.F-12 centers the IRTrack view. Under controls in FSX you can change keystrokes. I don't know if those particular items are changeable?
 
OK, we're making (slow) progress, installing new birds, more scenery, enjoying the sights, and running into new problems...
Screenshots are still a pain, both Screenshooter and fsscreen only give black pics, when I'm in fullscreen mode, and hitting "v" freezes the screen for a second, and produces only bmp's. I don't want bmp's, I want jpg's! I'm open to suggestions?
Another weird thing is that I don't see any roads anymore in FTX, all cars now drive on the grass, or whatever the textures are. Again, I'm open to suggestions..
Futhermore, the picture tends to become rather jerky at times, the strange thing is that this sometimes continues until after push the 'pause' button?
Still, what a joy, such a big screen!
Here's a few more pics:
 
It didnt by chance come with a mossie paint kit did it :costumes:
hope you get all the tweaks done
