MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum

Hello, I wanted to know how to get realisticly dark nights in FSX, I played X-Plane 11 Demo and the night was a new challenge and level of realism to the simulation. I also travelled by night (passenger) all I can say is that we only see the wingtips lights, not even the wings. in FSX, wingview is visible, ocean is way too visible (no way to get "Spatial disorientation" like I had in XP11) seeing grounds lights etc http://www.strikingsoftware.com/forum/index.php?topic=2653.0 Thanks in advance :)

I've been modifying the default 737-800. All is well, but even with the up-rated engines, the aircraft still requires a very high thrust (45%+ N1) to get rolling, and throttling down to just 35% N1 will make the aircraft come to a halt (at 130,000lbs, a typical weight). This is also an issue with some addon aircraft I have. I'm wondering what parameter in the aircraft.cfg or air file I can change to perhaps lighten up the ground resistance a bit, so the aircraft will roll with less throttle. Just to note I have updated the moment of inertias for pitch, roll and yaw, all of which were higher than default, but I'm unsure if lowering these right down would help at all.

This being my first PMDG product purchase, I was excited and thrilled to finally buy a product from them I wanted. To my surprise, it did not fair favorably to other competitors products I already own and use. It may be standard fair, but I get the feeling like this plane is unfinished. There are things I’m finding that are missing or don’t work like most other AAA or even budget planes I own. Perhaps many of these things were done and designed on purpose, dunno, I welcome any feedback. Also perhaps many things are still being worked on and will be featured in future updates, dunno that either. Some of the below may have been mentioned elsewhere but here …

Gearing up for KLGB release and wanted some AI ships for the harbor, anyone know what packages are required (and in what order) to get ships for the west coast? Is there a base package required to start out? I'd rather start small with just west coast North America and experiment with fps impact if possible.

I run FSX Steam and have the AI2 carriers installed . Can Anyone help me with the procedure for getting my VRS Superbug onto a carrier to start flight ops. Thank you

Any good payware planes and developers?

Hi all- I want to set up a basic flight sim on a used Win7 mid-level machine I have for a student at our school that's got the bug :>) P3D would be way too much so I'm thinking FSX via Steam. I've been a P3DvXXX user for quite some time so not sure how to proceed with this. Any caveats/suggestions be fore I begin with this? Thanks! Mark

I know this topic has a history but much of it is dated and I would just like some updated opinions from the avsim users on here. If I were to purchase AI traffic, which (UT2 or Traffic 360) would be best to have? I do not have any freeware AI traffic yet. Im going to start clean with a good payware option. Ive researched it and I can find the most info on those two add-ons so I will probably go with one of the two. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I can compile a "route" without any problem just with only one boat, the "wash_ferry_sm" the default ship in the map boats from FSX after installation. The traject is correct, compiling without problem. The boat shows up, turns as it should be, everything works fine Now, i would like to use a ship from the collection "Global AI Ship Traffic" for instance AI_Statsraad_Lehmkuhl and let it sail in the "kanaal" ...(I have them all in the corresponding FSX maps, they all show up, made many pictures yet...) Compiles ok, but the ship never shows up....Making the Boat, Plans, Route files exactly as with "wash_ferry_sm" no way, does someone have…

Does any one know where the chase plane has a ..Help..or forum?

Dear: Is someone going to upgrade DA Fokker 70/100 for fsx, fsx-se and p3dv4? Its my first add on for fsx sp2 back in 2009. I still use it and love it. Recently Aerosoft completed the DA CRJ 700 900 X. Hope someone could work on Fokker 100/70. Regards, Haseen.

Hi all, For a bgl compile tool I need to have the FSX SDK isntalled. I have the DeLuxe Edition. However I do not have FSX installed as I use P3Dv4. When trying to install the FSX SDK I am getting an InstallShield error 1607.... Help is appriciated. Gerard Update : Finally I was able to install by renaming Program Files (x86) / Common Files / InstallShield folder and let Windows make a new one...

Hello, I would like to have the 2D FMC panel on a shoirtcut like the pther areas of the panel (overhead,...) and maybe also the displays. Is there an possibility to do that and how to do that? Modify the panel.cfg? Would be great to get some information on that as it would make the flight easier for me :)

^^^Pretty much the topic. In a similar note, bonus 2nd question I have is what is the difference between simconnect and FSUIPC?

Hello everyone! How can you tell if you currently have FSX's service pack 2? I assume I do since I just downloaded FSX-SE a few months ago. The reason I ask is because I am in the process of downloading some AI and Scenery and the specifically say that you must have the SP2 version. Thanks in advance!

What Andy Digital said is perfect. Thanks.!

Hi, I've managed to get the default C172 VC in FSX to look like this at night, which I think is pretty nice : https://goo.gl/photos/SzL6BubXKg9qTCdHA But I still have a problem with the gauges being a bit too bright to my taste. Is there a sweet single command I can write down somewhere to dim then all at once ? Thanks. :) Luc

Does anyone know of a program that can add gagues to all aircraft panels automatically - I want it to; Add a new window to [Windows Titles] section Add a new [Window XX] section - with the details of the gague If there isn't a program, does anyone have a .BAT file or similar that can carry out this task?

Just wondering if anyone else is getting double altitude callouts when landing? I get double 2500 1000 500 200 100 when on approach. Any help would be great. Thank You Anthony Marquis

I have version 1.00.3219 for PMDG-737-8900 NGX. Question: is this the most recent version ? Thank you HubertWerni

Download link for the BGL's is not working

Hello to all: After loading any PMDG aircraft on KSEA (FSX) at night I noticed that the runway has edge lighting and centerline lights have an enlarged halo/bloom effect. It is as if they are hovering over the runway. Just wondering if someone else experiencing this and if there is a fix. T2G support says they are normal lights (lol).

Hello there, I do apologize if this question has already been asked and answered before but I notice that when I zoom out from the Top-down view the globe is completely covered! I have a picture to show what the problem is. I use the Shader 3 Mod for FSX-SE. I have removed the cache many times and I have done the press the Esc button for a few seconds and come back into the screen but it didn't work. http://prntscr.com/gd9xk1 That image shows my problem. Edward.
