MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum

Well, my 100th install of FSX:SE happened yesterday, for the purpose of running the acquired FSLabs A320... I installed Steam, then FSX:SE. After rebooting I installed in the following order: - ORBX FTX Global - All of my A2A aircraft - Steve's DX10 Fixer - The FSLabs A320, which prompts for a reboot during one of the install steps. When the system rebooted and I started FSX:SE ( I have Steam set not to start when I boot ) Steam issued an update... I can't tell anything went wrong with it, but some installs ago I remember one day having gone through a really weird situation when after this more or less identical sequence of installs one day I found all …

Hi, I just uninstalled my FSX, addons, etc. etc. etc. so I could do a clean install. I followed all available info I could find on this subject on this forum but now when trying to reinstall, it refuses, giving the following - 1628 - install failed. I am stumped. Many hours going through my files and registry over and over with no joy. Any help or suggestions would be most welcome and very much appreciated. Richard

Alright, so I'm having a problem with the Captain Sim 737-200. For some reason it will NOT work when I run FSX normally. As soon as I choose the plane in the menu, FSX crashes. However, when I run FSX as the Admin, everything works perfectly. Is there a way to make it run properly without having to run it as the Admin every single time? I'd rather not do that, seeing as my Saitek Control panel doesn't work under the admin for some reason. Thanks.

Hi, I'm looking for an FSX GA plane (commercial or freeware) that has the most functional switches (as many as possible) in the cockpit and also that has really good documentation. Will that eliminate most of the Carenado planes which I feel have inadequate documentation? A question - do all GA planes have or are required by law to have landing lights? Thanks.

HiDoes anyone know of a good freeware ATR 72-500 for FSX?I can't find one anywhere. Please reply ASAP.

Hi everyone, I lately installed Ezdok V2 and of course i had many problems about how to set it. At the end i was able to make a pretty clear work and i can say it is nice. My question is now the following. If i have created a Camera for the landing is it possible to assign to this camera a proper key of the joystick so then when i cycle thru the views and ned to move to this camera very fast i just push the button and i am back to this view? I am asking this as till now if i am on the Camera i set for landing and cycle thru the other and need to be back fast to this view i need to cycle all view ill i get it. Thanks

I bought LLH creations LFLB Chambery and I have found that the glideslope signal of ILS 18 is not detected by some of the airplanes (not all) which is kind of weird. For example, the Majestic Q-400 does detect the glideslope but the Lancair Legacy 2 doesn´t which is quite confusing. I have tried with more planes and some do detect it but others don´t. Any clues what could be happening ? Regards José Ignacio

I'm trying to change a sound file on an aircraft and not having much luck. I have downloaded a great 747 model but the engines are default and sound poor. On the other hand I have some great 747 models with amazing engine sounds. I want to move the quality engine sounds into the other model, and have tried the [fltsim] alias=B747_400\sound method and it doesn't work, leaving me with no sound at all in the new model. Any pointers on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

Hi everybody! For everyone who is thinking about switching flightsims I'd like to share my experience with all of these. First started with the boxed Fsx off course. Then made the jump to Steam because it should perform a little better. The only thing I noticed was faster menus and Highmemfix already built in. But a lot of addons didn't work in SE and still OOMs... Made the switch to P3D v3... Looks a bit better. Especially the Hdr mode and built in Lod Radius. But The smoothness is terrible. A lot of stutters. 30fps, unlimited, nothing worked to solve this. Then I get extremely blurred textures. Even when I paused the simulator to load. Now I'm back …

Hi all, I've been playing the missions from TakeFlight's Air Alaska add on for FSX:SE. I've really enjoyed it so far. However, for the second mission I'm running into some issues. I'm trying to land in front of the cabin but I keep either clipping trees and crashing or running out of runway space. Has anyone else had difficulty with this mission? Is there something I'm missing? I've also noticed, I can't deploy flaps - I'm not sure if that's programmed into the mission or not? I'm using the default Cub with ORBX scenery version of this mission. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi all, I am not sure if this is the correct forum here but will ask away and you can move the post if necessary. I recently bought FSDT Memphis and thought it looked a bit odd with no Fed-Ex traffic, their major hub I think. I use World of AI packages, which I think are pretty realistic, and also has amazingly little performance loss, I thought I would try and find a Fed-Ex package, except there isn't one. I did some research and learnt how to put together my own package for Fed-Ex using AI aircraft and paints available here and some Fed-Ex AI flight plans, also available here. Amazingly when I had finished, it all worked perfectly, I was almost in shock! …

What is going on here? I've never seen this before. Only add on is PMDG, minimal AI traffic, Rex TD+Soft clouds, AS16 and FSFX Immersion and EZCA. Everything about this flight was a disaster. Waste of time.

I am ready to upgrade to As16 from Asn but only if you notice a difference. I have As Cloud Art but it does not dynamically change textures unless you have As16 (my memory loading is so high maybe it is better this is off)

Hi! Since I have barely any muny, well, I can't get opus fsx, asn, as16, etc. Do any of you have any idea on how to get this cloud effect? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CA6Vv1jThc thanks!

Hello all, I'm using Opus as the weather engine when I flew from Hong Kong to Sydney, I did my landing on RWY 18R and I encountered very usually strong lift on short final. I discovered that I run into that lift very often when I land at Sydney RWY 18R and Taipei RWY 05L. What did I encounter and is there a way to disable it? Much appreciated! Regards, Cedric

Hi, I wonder if any of you has had a problem where the FSX goes into background processes immediately after launching, without ever showing the welcome screen? Usually a reboot would help so that the next time FSX launches normally, but not always ... I couldn't find any systematic system behavior that would lead to that, like the order of starting other programs, etc. I'm running Win10, i7-6700 at 4.0 GHz, 16GB RAM and a GTX-970. Thanks for any leads! Mark

Hi, I would like to extend the distance at which textures render, but whenever I increase the LOD setting in my config, there is no effect in the game. Is there something i'm doing wrong?

Hi, I'm wondering if there is a way to get rid of the low quality textures in the distance, make them higher res somehow. I have attached a screenshot to show you what I mean: http://imgur.com/a/CM3yE Thanks, David

Hi, I have had fsx se for almost 2 weeks now, and ive been looking at config edits to further improve my sim. I've noticed that a popular tweak is "Texture bandwidth Multi". Heres what I know about the tweak: 1. It is defaulted to 160 in fsx se 2. Its value has to be in multiples of 10 3. It cannot go above 400 4. The more vram your gpu has, the higher the number you should use What I dont know: 1. What exactly does this tweak do? 2. Since my gpu has 4gb vram, should i set it to the max, 400? 3. Do I need to cap my frame rate to see the effects of this tweak? Also, what other tweaks are recommended? Please dont link me to the AVSIM tweaking guide or bo…

Hi guys, I am posting here because I get no answer on their forums. I am having issues with some night textures. The scenery works well at daylight, but every other time I get this. Perhaps you guys know what the problem could be? Here are the links for the screenshots http://imgur.com/v134qRM http://imgur.com/GAIxF11 Kind regards, Peter

Hi, Every time I make a tweak in my config, noting happens in the game. I am saving the config file, and I am editing it correctly. What is happening? With my LOD radius set to 8.5, here is what the sim looks like: http://imgur.com/kWUHQvl

Having trouble getting the definitive answer on this. I'm looking for a traffic addon and noticed this is on sale again.

Hi! I have fsx se, and I NEEEED! DESPERATE of the 2.17 version of fsrecorder. My computer isn't fast, but I want to make as real as it gets videos... But since I can only use 1.331 (I think) In SE, IT doesn't have a render feature! I need those crucial frames! Please, can I have an alternative? NOT A SCREEN RECORDER THOUGH! But a flight sim recorder, that can render, or at least a software that can put those missing frames in there(No, I will not use Razer Cortex, so don't mention it please). On another note, sorry for using caps. I am just so sad and my emotions are sometimes out of control... Forgive me Jim, and other staff/mods of Avsim!

So, I wanted realistic sky textures. But I see both aimeleclercq creations clouds, and hdev2 clouds "photorealistic". I want the effect, when the plane goes through the clouds, the clouds realistically fly through the wing.

After six long years and many problems, It's finally finished. A B-36 built just for FSX and FSX steam edition. Please enjoy. Search Peacemaker in the avsim file library. Also available from sim outhouse.
