If you want to see FSX getting the attention it might need before any possible patches come out, send your feedback to Microsoft directly in a very concrete, useable form.

The following small bit of info is excerpted (under Fair Use) from tdraggers blog site:

"....... capture some objective data to back up their experience when running the new sim. Specifically what I suggested was to send the output from DXDIAG.EXE and a snapshot of FSX settings (by saving them to a separate .CFG file) to our tell_fs@microsoft.com alias."

"....... if you're so inclined, here's how to produce the files I mentioned:

Click Start, then Run...
Type 'dxdiag' and press Enter.
Click the 'Save all information' button.
Save the file (default name = 'dxdiag.txt').

Then...
Run FSX.
Click 'Settings' from the left hand menu.
Click the 'Save...' button.
Save the file (will have a .CFG extension)."

Send the above two files you generate ALONG WITH a written description of any issues you might be having. This will hopefully give the ACES team enough information to help track down why certain things are happening.

This is not "Support".....don't expect a direct reply.

best,

I often have a peek through those generated files, and there are all sorts of fings hidden in that long list of code I'd rather no-one can see...

What, you have "naughty" hardware???

I've seen paranoia before, but you take it to an entirely new level... Tongue

There's absolutely nothing in a DXDIAG report except information on hardware installed and the driver files that support the hardware.
