Well the guy who did them said to hold off for version 5.0 with fixes for 1.5.3 But you could still try them for now

I have an updated JSGME version for 1.5.3 (non beta version) available. If anyone wants it I can upload it to my Dropbox. Let me know. I moved over to the official 1.5.3 yesterday and noticed they changed some of the folder structures. Original authors post. It is an awesome MOD http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=132444

http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/downloads/ Yep time to update

Yep sure did. I use some of his F15 profile in mine

Been reworking my F15 Helios profile using it in conjunction with LEAVU to get a working RWR Here is what I have so far

Here is yet another MOD for 1.5 Hear Blur MOD JSGME version https://db.tt/wvizH3Zb

As good as it looks there are a couple MODs that make it look even better Ground texture MOD 4.0 updated for 1.5 http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=132444 And ReShade 0.19.2 Public Beta with SweetFX 2.0 Beta 8 I made a JSGME version of both and uploaded to my Dropbox Ground texture MOD 4.0 https://db.tt/wXOpTmLn SweetFX https://db.tt/UPwy09B3 If you need to sign up for a free Dropbox account use this link. It will help me have a little extra space to keep these shared files on https://db.tt/lBQi6CEk

I found this free fix that allows you to use Butt Kicker or speakers at the same time you use the USB headset

Came across this so I thought I would share http://www.avsim.com/topic/397614-buttkicker-gamer-2-usb-headset-setup-guide/

Has anyone seen one of these. The idea looks good but not sure where you would buy one in the states http://dreamsimteam.blogspot.ru/p/simshaker.html

I finally had some time to try Capt Zeen's P-51D Helios profile (he included a 4:3 version) and it works quite well.

I updated the Sound MOD pack again with new sounds from Diverplane Its all in my Dropbox. Again if you want these just sign up for free and send me your email to add you to the shared folder

AP I am still not convinced that it is a video card problem. Will get back with you

I went windowed as worse case scenario

AP have you run the Heaven Benchmark? I would let it run for a long time then hit Benchmark and see what you get. Like I told you I really think a 550W power supply is really underpowered. It is possible the GPU voltages might be fluctuating. Doing a lot of searching when I had the 970 leads me to believe there is not nearly as many 980 problems out there. CaptJack has never complained about stutters that I am aware of. I would be willing to bet he has a hefty power supply in his new system. as for ASIC that is like debating religion. Lots of opinions and not many consensus as to what it really determines. I would go into the bios and disable the on board sound card and maybe even the network card. Then try it with no sound (no USB headphones either) offline and see if you still get the stutters. Narrow it down to the basics. Another thing after the bios upgrade and the other things I mentioned would be to do a Nvidia driver cleaner. Also did you run the Resource Monitor and check to see what your CPU, drives and network are doing when it stutters? There could easily be something else running in the background causing it. Also try this Go to Nvidia Control panel and set Power management mode to use prefer maximum performance and change maximum pre rendered frames to 3. Did you unpark the CPU cores? Use Geforce Experience and place the card in Kboost mode

I was playing around with DSR on my new 980 card and it does make CLOD look nice however VirtualCockpit for the extracted gauges on the second monitor is misaligned now. I was able to get it to work by changing the Windows desktop to 2715X1527 (obviously DSR will downsampling the desktop as well) but the icons and text become pretty small. So not sure I will continue to use it. It is a shame as it does help a lot smoothing things out.

Well I had a little time to do some benchmarks Using the Heaven Benchmark by Unigine on maxed out settings here is my results. Temp never hit 60c https://unigine.com/products/heaven/

Actually this is the latest F15 screen with the Thrustmaster MFD

Well it has been a busy couple weeks for me. I have been dealing with real life situations and some computer hardware issues. First was the death of my brother in-law who battled pancreatic cancer and finally lost. He was a good man who was married to my older sister for 46 years. Also within the past few weeks I had upgraded my Nvidia 660SC to a 970FTW. The card was extremely fast and ran cool. However I had some weird stuttering issues that drove me crazy as I tried to track them down. It eventually led me to some recent articles on the memory issues on the 970. Since I was still within the send back period I decided to upgrade to a 980SC with the ACX 2.0 cooling fan. A couple things about the 980 The ACX is worth the extra few bucks as they run cooler and the fan is super high quality Make sure you have the room as the 980 is much longer than the 970 was. It barely fit in my Antec 903 case Now I need to start tweaking the graphics once again for the sims I play to get the most eye candy from them. I doubt I will run into low FPS issues or stuttering now (least I hope not). Another week when my daughter who flew in from Texas goes home should let me get back to normal and start spending some quality time flying.

The RWR still does not work but they are working on it.
