I need an FS-GS treatment..  

Ashar, you've been saying that for a while now!  ;D
With all your Payware I am surprised you have not done it yet!  ;)

Also, Michael does not work with an overclocked system

not true....



Dave has an OC'ed 6800

I don't know...I keep thinking to get it...and then drop the idea...then all of a sudden a mad urge comes...and then it drops out to...I want to know how long it usually takes...because I am not available on weekdays...(School)...

Weekends..I don't really like to ruin people's precious weekends...

Yes, but Michael does not set up and test your system while it is overclocked. He requests that the system be returned to its normal state for the hardware you are using. He also suggests/confirms BIOS settings. He sets Windows up and has you run the sim to his specifications and asks questions that tell him if something is wrong or not. If a system is overclocked while Michael is evaluating the tests, it would not tell him what he needs to know, therefore Michael does not work with an overclocked system. What one does do with their system after the service is up to them.  ;)

He worked with me on a Saturday afternoon. You have to schedule an appointment to find out when he is available.

Buff, my GeForce 6800 is "overclocked" out of the box

For a lousy seventy-three bucks I can have graphics like the Southwest 747 screenshot?! My system is not overclocked or anything extraordinary. Would the FS-GS service be of any value to someone who doesn't know how to open Windows Explorer in two windows as is done when installing downloaded aircraft?

I can not vouch for what Michael can do for you... With your system he may suggest hardware upgrades but if that is not possible I would think he could help boost your expereince with what you have. His service also boosts your entire computer, not just FS9.

The payware PMDG 747 Southwest image comes from the FlyTampa payware airport San Francisco, Flight1 UT USA and Ground Environment textures, Flight Environment clouds and FSgenesis mesh and with my own personal water textures. Those packages along with my hardware and FS-GS service is what makes that image what it is.

Even with the service if you are not willing to spend money on the RIGHT add-ons your visuals will not look like that image although what you see even without those add-on installed should be much better and smoother.

That does it, first time I get enough money I am getting the FS-GS treatment

Including the number zero, there are only 3 possible numbers that FS9 will recognize in that line.

You must have the correct types of scenery mesh installed to set that line to its maximum value or both visual anomalies and performance stutter issues will occur.

I understand, and appreciate, your loyalty in not wanting to take the business away to the person who did you a good service. This is right.
But what are these two other values that FS2004 will accept, setting "0" aside?
Surely there's much more to FS-GS than this information, so you will not rip anyone off if you give this hint away.

[FridayChild]

Understood.  :)
Let me just (partly) disagree with you on the "proprietary information" bit. What do you mean by that? If you mean the information is proprietary to Microsoft (i.e. it's considered "industrial secret", like the infamous Windows APIs) then FS-GS would be violating it in the first place.
If on the other hand you mean - as I'm sure - that you had to or you voluntarily agreed to not disclose any detail about what you learned from FS-GS during the calibration process (which, I understand, lasts several hours and requires interaction between FS-GS and the user, meaning that FS-GS instruct the user to make changes with a brief explanation of the reason why, and the user executes them) then it's a different matter. Then those informations are not - strictly speaking - proprietary (to FS-GS), but rather they are the result of hard research work by FS-GS and so it's in FS-GS's interest that they remain confidential.
At this point let me ask you: was the "non disclosure policy" part of the contractual conditions, or did you voluntarily chose to agree to that? In the latter case, what would happen if a user didn't agree to that condition and, after being FS-GS'ed, publicly disclosed all the details on the web?
That said, once again I think that you are right in not wanting to step in FS-GS toes since it's obvious that they rock, but then again, surely there's much more to FS-GS than just the bare explanation of what the allowed values for a certain fs9.cfg parameter are. If revealing this simple information could spoil the business, then one would think that it's not that big deal, and we both know well that this isn't the case, right?  ;)
Let me know; as for FS-GS, I'll seriously consider it, but first I'll try all I'm capable of to better my FS9 world... it's a matter of pride, you see.  ;D

[NicksFXHouse]

I will not disclose information or techniques which are not available on the net and which someone worked very hard researching.

If I contracted Microsoft and paid them their rate for exclusive ONE ON ONE training there would be a contract involved which would include a NON DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT.

[FridayChild]

"To be quite honest, if you were to approach FS-GS with the attitude you tend to display in the post above, I doubt they would accept you as a client. I think it is a "big deal" to make a trust and break it by disclosing infomation even if the information is minute and would probably have no finacial impact, it's still breaking an agreement and more important, my word."
That's precisely why I asked you - out of interest and curiosity - if you actually gave your word about it. It's completely obvious that, if you did, you would be bound to keep it.
I think you misunderstood my last sentence: I said that *if* revealing the possible values for a single parameter would alone take business away from FSGS then one would think that calibrating FS9 is not that big deal. A paradox, because everybody knows that of course it *IS* a big deal... that's why I thought that revealing it would not damage FSGS because there are so many other tweakings to do that require extensive knowledge.
But you explained that you are bound to an agreement, no matter how tiny the information you are asked to reveal is; I respect this and will ask you no more.
