MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum

I'm not sure how this works so I guess I'll post here. Whenever I fly the Qualitywings 757-200 and pull up to the gate, the jetway always selects the L2 door, and I want it to go to the L1 door. So, I need to make this change. But do I make that change in FSX, ADE, or the qw757? And how do I make that change? I posted this question at Qualitywings forum but it's been 2 days and nobody has answered my post. Ken Manning

I recently downloaded a freeware Grumman Mallard for FSX. However, the only way to successfully start it is using CTRL - E. The problem is that I cant hold the starter switch over to one side for more than a couple of seconds before it re centers back to the off position. I know for a fact that I could crank the engine over and start it if only I could hold the starter switch in one position for a prolonged period of time, without the switch resetting to its neutral position. I am using FSX Boxed Edition. Thanks!

Just got a new computer. I7-4790K, GTX 970, 8 gigs ram, SSD hard drive. I've been on an I7 950, GTX 470 computer until the mobo fried. FSX-SE ran smooth as can be on the old box with Aerosoft Airbus, IFly 737, with lots of add-on sceneries. Installed FSX-SE on the new computer, installed Aerosoft Airbus, IFly 737, etc., and I get very noticeable stutters. I've tried every setting I came across on Google including Word Not Allowed's, NickN's, some from FSX-SE forums and others. Nothing seems to help. I am at my wits end. I've started with a new FSX.cfg 4 times, installed Nvidia Inspector and tried several different settings. Same old thing. I've turned down…

I have recently downloaded apchart.zip, and although very useful, and I have been trying to use it as an alternative to FSX ATC to route me to a gate. However, I have found it rather difficult to use at large airports - is it possible to find the location of the gates, or do you have to do what I am doing currently, and search the entire airport to try and find your gate number? Thanks in advance.

So... FSX: SE did work on my computer before. Now it won't start. I click on the launcher, and the load screen comes up (when you first click on it), and then it just... quits. No error messages, nothing. I checked in task manager and it was not running anywhere else. I verified the integrity of the game files on Steam. But it still just quits on startup. What can I do???

I noticed that when running FSDT KCLT I get occasional stutters and pauses as with their KMEM. Flightbeam KMSP which I just purchased and flew the PMDG 737 from KMSP to KMCI ran smooth without any stutters. Using ORBX everything and ASN. Both sceneries seem to be complex but I am guessing it comes down to Couatl with KCLT. I even ran UT2 with about 30% traffic on KMSP with little impact. Anyone else see the difference?

I've recently decided that I wanted to buy a Beechcraft Bonanza for FSX. Surprisingly, Carenado has actually released 3 different versions of the Bonanza for purchase. Each one has the same sale price of $29.95. A36 Bonanza V35B Bonanza (the V-Tail version) F33A Bonanza I come to the forums requesting the advice of users who own these aircraft, who may be able to shed some light on which one of these variants is the best Bonanza for my buck. Thanks!

Here's just a brief heads-up for those who have been watching for this - http://www.glowingheat.co.uk

Hello The traffic planes light went off, isn't my plane but if you want to see the air traffic you will see the airplanes without lights ..can you please help me to fix that. Thank you. Regards. Zayad

Hi, I'm pretty new to getting FSX addons and such and I would appreciate help with tweaking my system to get the best performance. I know my specs are below par and I am working on getting better components but I would really appreciate some tweaks/help to get the best out of my current system. Specs: CPU - AMD FX(tm)-4300 Quad-Core Processor, 3800 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s) GPU - AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series RAM - 8GB Storage - 200GB SSD and 500GB HDD ASRock MOBO

Very strange textures loading and don't know suddenly the reason. Blue lake putches there and there, Is it possible have to do with fsx scenery library or ORBX? Anyone can help please?

I have FSDT KORD and can someone please tell which gates are the heavies?

I have noticed that in real life, pilots usually don't need to stop once they have exited the runway - clearly they either know the first few taxiways or the full route of their taxi clearance. Is there any way to taxi from the runway to the gate in FSX without stopping, as currently I don't know where my taxi route will take me until I request taxi clearance from ATC, which I can only do once I have exited the runway, forcing me to stop and listen for instructions.

Hi, Whenever I try to add scenery into FSX:SE, the file will add itself into the library but once the database has updated and I open the library again, the scenery files are no longer present. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Callum

HI, hope you are all keeping cool in this heatwave Very impressed with Opus in P4, even without the PDK it works so well, just have one small problem... How do I add an aircraft to the simobjects log, so that I can create and assign cameras to the aircraft? My Lancair and A2A 172 are both located outside the sim and arent in the list of aircraft within Opus. Ive tried to copy paste the location of the aircraft cfg files to the simobjects log but that isnt working for me. Apart form that, Opus is working perfectly in P4, especially the LWA map on my second monitor, for me one of the best feature rich parts of Opus, indispensable once you start using it :) …

Hi! I bought this addon few days ago, and I'm very happy with it! But what a workload during STAR approach, using radionavigation! I used to be a private pilot, so I'm familiarized with VORs, DMEs, NDB...etc The only thing that annoy me is the fact I hear no air circulation sound when I switch on the packs! -APU is ON and working -APU bleed is ON -Left crossfeed valve OPEN -Left Air Supply AUTO Is it the same for you guys? Or is it an issue on my installation or something? Every other sounds work very well.... Strange to do the flight preparation in such a quet cockpit, although in the real airplane cockpit you can hear a very loud air …

Is it possible to have flights in FSX/FS9 open by default with, say x0.50 zoom in all views? I find that as things are, all views are way too close when the sim opens and I have to zoom out manually before I begin. Can't see anything in the cfg files that controls this. If I save a flight, the .flt file does of course have an option, but how to change the default behaviour in new flights?Thanks,Martin

I'm developing a small Freeware FSX utility to simplify the process of finding the ILS frequency when ATC assigns an ILS approach to my flight plan's destination airport. The program makes use of the runway data provided by Peter Dowson's Makerunway program. There are two methods of operation. I can enter the ICAO and search. This will display a list of all runways, runway lengths and runway ILS frequencies for that airport. As an alternate method, I can start Flight Simulator and load up my flight plan prior to starting the utility. In this circumstance, when the program is started it will read the flight plan currently loaded in FSX and automatically display the de…

Going VFR from Brackett (KPOC) to San Diego (KSAN). After I get the, "leaving my airspace" message I decide than rather than tune SoCal Departure, I'll just leave it tuned to Brackett - tiny field, no traffic. The entire flight to San Diego I see maybe three aircraft? Okay, let's try this again. This time after the "leaving my airspace" I tune SoCal Departure and the difference is huge. The amount of radio traffic is greater and the number of aircraft in the sky is greater. So I wonder if the amount of actual traffic you encounter is tied to the radio you are monitoring? (Which sounds both logical on a programming point of view and rid…

Hi all, I'm back into flight siming after a long time away. So i want to do something I always thought about but never did, an around the world flight. For some background. I have used a lot of previous versions of MSFS from Flight Simulator II for the commodore 64 to FS9 (including a lot of add-ons over the years). I did not go to FSX mainly due to my computer hardware limitations. So I finally decided to put my 10+ year old Win XP computer to rest and built a new one with WIN 10. As I have been reinstalling software on the new build I came across a good deal on FSX Steam so went ahead and bought it. Even though my build is a budget gaming computer by tod…

Hello, I am having trouble deciding if I should switch to X plane 11 from FSX:SE. I already own X-Plane 11 (I received a free copy from FlightSimCon2017), and I have installed a few free add-ons for it. I have been using FSX for a while, and I would hate to leave all my add-ons (ORBX, Aerosoft a320, payware airports, and more) to switch to X-Plane. I have taken a few screenshots at gate A18 at EDDF in both sims to use as a comparison. Keep in mind that I have the Aerosoft EDDF add-on in FSX, and X-Plane 11 comes default with the Aerosoft EDDF. Thanks, David PS- my fps in x-plane is ~25, while in FSX, its ~35.

Robin Corn, owner and very talented developer behind Godzone / RealNZ has started a Kickstarter campaign to help him in continuing his extremely good and high quality scenery addons for FSX and P3D. In addition he now also plans to also release his sceneries for AFS and XP. Robin is one of the often overlooked talents in the Flightsim developers scene. His sceneries are crafted exceptionally well with a high level of attention for detail as well as VAS and fps performance. Well worth to take a look at! his website: http://windowlight.co.nz/godzoneWP/ the kickstarter campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1219982571/new-zealand-scenery-f…

I have MSI ntel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz, turbo boosted to 3.4 GHz, Nvidia 1070, 16GB RAM .FSX SE When flying planes like PMDG 777/747v3, Aerosoft, etc. I get micro stutters when ATC callouts are playing and when callous/ touchdown sounds are playing as well as some button and switches sounds. Its all random and happens randomly throughout the flight. It was not like that in the beginning when I installed FSX and the payware add-ons. I guess something must have happened. I use Nicks Nvidia profile inspector settings with V sync Off. Unlimited frames set. Please Help Thank you

AI traffic can be a FPS killer at even moderate settings. Many of us like to decent amount of traffic around, but this finally becomes a tussle between volume and FPS. To help this situation I have written a program which automatically tries to manage the traffic. The logic is pretty simple, you give the program a target number of AI aircraft, by default 100. Every 60 seconds the program will check how many AI Aircraft are there and then it will delete AI Aircraft above this number. Aircraft farthest from your aircraft are deleted first, so traffic around you should remain largely unchanged. You can change the target number to your choice based upon your hardware…

hello all. I just downloaded and began with fsx steam and everything seems to be working perfectly other than that fact that the command for the radio stack on all aircraft will not function. It only pulls up a black imprint of where the radio stack should be. Can anyone help me remedy this?
