Well ... I don't know what was wrong. I uninstalled RF G5.5, reinstalled, fired it up and it worked fine at over 300 fps. Set parms where I liked and got around 125 fps average. Big mystery. Sigh. Thanks for all the suggestions! Luckily, got the AUO display (luck of the draw) which may be...

Bought new Dell G7 laptop (GTX1060, hex-core i7H, 16GB RAM, SSD, HDD ... yadda yadda) and at stock settings (RF G5.5), suffers from very slow fps (24). Let it install its ancient DirectX 9 when prompted. Tried full-screen, no v-sync. Checked settings and all parms are very minimal, which ran...

Thanks for the input, gentlemen. I think I will spring for it as I've already got the elite controller with 5.0, I purchased. I'm assuming there are no new functions that would require another controller?

I'm glad to be back. I just reinstalled 5.5 on a laptop I purchased last year, and it appears to be running super. To those who have just used the $50.00 upgrade disk for RF7, are you satisfied that it was worth the money? I think future features will use it as a prerequisite, but I want gut...

"I can see stars from my house!" Charles

Hey! I know that AP! Kicked-up some dust many a time!

Still pales in comparison to the debaucherous, dubious distinction of the 5280 ft. club. Charles

Didn't like some aspects of every release, including G3. Didn't keep me from upgrading through G5+. Was vocal about them, too. Bottom line; I always felt I got WAY more sim for my money than I paid, through upgrades. Rob Peter, pay Paul. Gain some, lose some. What ever the progression of...

Who's LILO, and why are they giving him/her away? Charles

OK, here's one for the original poster.

Oh no! Oh no! Uranus (Ouranos), God of the Heavens, is sending smoke signals to earthlings! Could it be...yes...it must be! A former forum member is wearing...(Z)ebra (J)ammies! Oh...the humanity of it all! Woe is me...WOE IS ME!

The 850 Commando is my all-time favorite retro bike. Had to give-up riding after 40 years, last 25 of them on sportbikes. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v402/r1derbike/Motorcycling/ http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v402/r1derbike/Motorcycling/Dragging%20Hard%20Parts/

I chased what appeared to be a vulture, in the distance, with my obnoxious stryker. I flew back to the field, it followed, and it looked like a bald eagle when it got close enough. It would have made short work of the stryker, if it wanted. He departed after I landed.

Here's the way I've started to view things here, and day to day living; if it doesn't affect me personally, it doesn't exist for me. A non-issue, irrelevant. Life's too short to get caught-up with those whom have multi-personality disorder, delusions of grandeur, schizophrenic disorder...

Rick is a super talent. Egos seem to get in the way of greatness, sometimes. I don't care what alias he uses, as long as he's civil, and keeps uploading planes. Haven't been on the forum much, due to medical issues, and don't know how this played-out, so all I see are the contributions to the...
