WANAKA - QUEENSTOWN ('Op Skip 'n a Jump!)

[ScottyB]

Hi all,

Hope your day went well for all of you! Mine consisted of 6 hours of ATPL Met study, so in order to relieve some stress I decided to jump in the PMDG 1900D and do a quick little trip from NZWF to NZQN via the Cardrona valley. Thanks to Ian Warren and Trolly who who had earlier helped me to resolve the Orbx SI texture issues.

Enjoy,
ScottyB

Now your really cooking , Your PC screens just simply get better and better , the little PMDG Beech ideally suited to the terrain ....

OK guys like me i those horrid top right corner text .. i simply edit them out ... now who has the Cfg. writing to delete these out of screens .. and when we find it lets put it to a list of fix's and pin it for us screenie peoples

They're a damnuisance at times - this is in my FSX.CFG:

[Display]
ChangeTime=4.000000
TransitionTime=4.000000
ActiveWindowTitleTextColor=255,255,255
ActiveWindowTitleBackGroundColor=0,28,140,64
NonActiveWindowTitleTextColor=255,255,255
NonActiveWindowTitleBackGroundColor=24,33,87,64
InfoUpperRightTextColor=255,0,0
InfoUpperRightBackGroundColor=0,0,0,0
InfoLowerLeftTextColor=255,255,255
InfoLowerLeftBackGroundColor=255,0,0,128
InfoLowerRightTextColor=255,255,255
InfoLowerRightBackGroundColor=255,0,0,128
InfoBrakesEnable=True
InfoParkingBrakesEnable=True
InfoPauseEnable=True
InfoSlewEnable=True
InfoStallEnable=True
InfoOverspeedEnable=True

I strongly suspect if you made the text colour the same as the background colour, the message would become invisible. I haven't tried this.
Can't find anything corresponding in my FS9.cfg, but there is a fix to hide the BRAKES messages on most of the main sites, so there must be a similar logic to disappear the others.

EDIT: Found it
SUMMARY
When you apply the brakes in Flight Simulator, the screen displays a message.
RESOLUTION
To disable this message, open the FS9.CFG file which is available in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9

Add the following to the [SIM] section of the FS9.CFG File

show_brake_message=0

and for the others:

Q) How can i get rid of this red message bars ?

A) Open up fs9.cfg with notepad scroll down to [main] and add this entry after the last one in the group

"HideInfoText=1" //without quotes

This removes all red messages

Looks like landing after 30 mins before ECT, didn't go to well for the last chap who tried that! (Although that was a takeoff...)

I'm just sending Scotty the court charges and fines as we speak ... funny how the night lightning dose not quiet equal the real world ... guess we can't have everything .

Are you using the 'Shade' addon Scotty?

Hi Timmo, well I do have Shade, however it has been causing "flickering" off runway centre lines etc recently (well, I think the culprit is Shade). Normally to use it, I click on the Shade.exe on my desktop, which then starts FSX and injects Shade into it. I am almost 100% sure I started up FSX without Shade before this flight (didn't ant flickers), but these shots really look like it was activated doesn't it?

Sorry I can't be more of a help!

[nzav8tor]

If the shade dll is in your FSX route directory it should load with FSX.exe everytime. I thinks its shift-F9 or F12 to toggle it on and off in the sim.

EDIT, I was thinking of the EMB series shader, disregard.

[ScottyB]

I have the Mogwaisoft (Spelling?) Shader, will that do the same thing?
