I'm still trying to get to the bottom of this one, there seems to be a lot of talk on other forums about fsx and radeon driver issues. It seems that fsx is just a re-hash of some old coding from fs9 and Microsoft kind of patched things in to make use of dual-core cpu's with SP1 and SP2. The core programming is not much different than older versions. Some older graphics cards appear to work better than new ones for some reason, still...

Dumb question, but where is the CMD button?

Ugh, so it seems the likely would be driver issues related to FSX? Looking at that review, the whole fact that not only did the 4850/4870 perform the same, but were in fact outperformed by weaker graphics cards is saddening. Guess that really goes to show FSX doesn't really care how powerful you GPU is, but more about rather the card['s driver] is even "compatible" work with the game :(. Heck, if my MoBo had...

I have a 4870 and running it flawlessly on a mixture of max and high settings.

You need to remember that trim is linked in a major way to airspeed. One trim setting at 80 knots will not keep you level at 120 knots. As a rule in learning how to trim, remember that your throttle is what makes you go up and down, and your pitching the nose up and down is what controls your airspeed. Notice when you set your autopilot to hold you at a certain altitude and increase your throttle, your speed increases, and the autopilot is...

umm....i think in the right top corner right next to the altitude set button, in the 757, it will say a/p engage then underneath there are 3 buttons, (rather then CMD A/B, my apologies), CMD L, CMD C, CMD R,(from left to right)...CMD C controls the complete autopilot (so you'd need it eg. to do a complete autoland), and CMD L &R respectively control the left and right autopilot feature... try this link because the guy in the pic is...

surclaro.com is alright as well!
