the $10 holiday sale yielded the nice b52 buff and the high-quality tristar. buff's vc mod's out of the way so here comes the tristar vc mod available at sim-outhouse. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=117&linkid=22385 improved the night lighting in the VC as the flood light effect was too bright for use at night. Textures edited: 1) VC flood lights toned down so as to not be blinding 2) Gauge surrouds is black 3) enhanced color saturation of gauge limit arcs 4) guage glass with purple tint to resemble anti-reflective coating 6) external model glass tint darkened a shade or two 7) tire contact surface lighter gray original mod…

Hello guys, I just noticed that the Project Tupolev website (www.protu-154.net) is not working. Does anyone know the reason why it's not online? Regards, Pere Duran

When I start FSX se the helicopter is already running. When I give it full throttle I see some of the engine gauges move up. When I pull back on the stick the helicopter just sits there. I can't get it to leave the ground.

I am running FSX with Windows 7 (64 bit). I have suddenly found that when I go to FSX Scenery Library, the names of each area are not shown. The scenery is still loading and running fine. However the Title line have disappeared from the scenery.cfg file. I have attached a pic of the Scenery Library. Any suggestions how to correct this ? TIA

Hey all I am a longtime FSX user I started before 3.1 haha! Anyways I stopped simming for a few years do to flight school in real life and jobs back in 2011. Needless to say its seems much has changed in the sim world. I am just getting all set up again. I guess Prepared 3d is out which looks slick but to be honest alot of my pay ware wouldnt work so that is a frustration and would stop me from switching. I also see its like $200... I just started FSX SE again and started installing my payware add ons again and needed some suggestions. I was actually dreading all the setup on a new machine for about a year cause its always a headache to get it all setup they w…

Hi, I'm a fairly new FSX user. I bought Pro version (boxed) years ago along with Acceleration Pack, and they have been catching dust on a shelf until recent times, when: 1) I've finally found spare time to install them, and 2) The available hardware has evolved enough to make them usable. As for add-ons, however, I'm under the impression that there is a huge difference between those released until 2013 or so, and those others released since. I know of incredibly complex, relatively new sceneries, whose performance (fps) easily double that of older ones which are much more simplistic. That suggests a change in the scenery technology at some point in time, aro…

I recently installed the Wilco E-175/E-195 pack, I loaded up FSX, spawned in, and my camera wouldn't move, so I tried a different aircraft and it still wouldn't move, and my joystick was unresponsive (Logitech Extreme 3D Pro), anyone know why?

Hello all, Really bad, have only ORBX SoCal as addon, and with decent spec I should be able get everything smooth, (had it before with my AMD 6 years old Rig) System runs steady 30FPS with no issue. Spec: Intel: i5-4690K GPU: EVGA GTX970 Ram: 8GB. FSX-S runs on secondary SSD Drive. Followed the tweak on the Steam forum https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=359111682 Not a tech savvy hence all NV Inspector terminology & phraseology are meaningless to me, so I guess I'll need a good mentor that will guide me ...lol Anyway, since I have no clue where to even start, any help will be highly appreciated Yair

Hi, just a quick question, Ive started to use live camera control instead of fixed cameras as i find it a lot easier to get the correct VC view that I want. But im having trouble saving the view so that it is there the next time I go fly. Am i correct in thinking that I make adjustments to my view, and then just press 'adjust' once to save the view? Thanks Dave

Right now I don´t know if I can carry on anymore.... I am using FSX since 2011 and right now EVERY time I start the sim the next day something different is preventing me from having some fun! Right now fsuipc won´t load, yesterday the 747 v3 won´t load....I am really fed up with this sim! I don´t have that much time in the day to fly anyway and if there is a problem almost every single time I want to fly....there just isn´t enough time to deal with stuff like this! I must have invested thousands of euros in simulation, but this simply isn´t any fun anymore! Anyone with me here?

Paul "Gypsy Baron" Strogen has some years ago written some effects for fsx thats simulates antiaircraft artillery when flying over an area were this artillery is placed. I would like to see those effects in an Animation I'm making for the Dutch "end of WWII"-comite. you can see it here : I have the Software for it but I can't see were those artillery has been place. Anyone ? Thanks. Henk.

Anyone know of any good payware aircraft available for FSX SP1? Service pack 2 won't download for me because I "need the English version of FSX" which is obviously ridiculous seeing as I bought this boxed version of FSX in 2006. Only happens on my new Windows 7 computer, and I have tried fixing the registry. Anyway, right now I'm limited to freeware, but I'm just curious if there are any good payware aircraft that don't require service pack 2, or at least work without it - preferably airliners. Thanks!

Can anyone tell me if the FSFX Immersion pack for the NGX play ball with AS16's cloud motion and landing light illumination effect? Any conflicts? I know the visibility minimizing effect interferes with the NGX HGS but I don't use it much anyhow. I'm interesting mainly in the volumetric lighting but would like all the effects to work. Also, any report of performance... Thanks! Chris :smile:

Yes...I know... necro-topic...but still relevent. Has anyone come up with a way yet for pilot-controlled lighting? I did a search on Avsim for 'radio runway lights', and this thread is as close it came. As you'll recall, at uncontrolled airport, rw pilots turn the runway lights on at-will by a certain number of clicks on the CTAF... most likely a lot more complicated in our sim world, either XPXI or P3D? If it would help the logic of it any, rw will actually turn on runway lights on all airports in range of the transmitter (on the same frequency, of course) Thanks! Jim

Hi All, I have run into a major problem with this scenery addon, which was a download from ES prior to their demise. I aslo have ES Guernsey. Both worked beautifully until now. My hardrive has suffered a malfunction (loud clunk in the cabinet) and a number of files were lost/corrupted, including my ESI pack backups of Alderney & Guernsey. However, I did find another backup folder (I think I made), which included all the ES directories for the Channel Islands, airports and what appears to be a backup of the FSX files it replaced. To cut a long story short, I can get ES Alderney working like it used to, except the autogen seems to be inconsistent as follows:- Hard W…

Hello, I have been busy getting familiar with the PMDG aircrafts but still want to have a 757, one of my most favorite aircraft. I want to ask about FSX Qualitywings 757. I know the system depth can not compare to PMDG, and the VC showing it's age. I can handle that. I just want to know if there are known big issues/bugs that can lead to CTD or unusable? I am curious about the performance(FPS,VAS), saving panel state with all functions properly, can I fly SID/STARS? Does it work normally with FSX:SE? Has anything been updated since Fs9 version of this? Cheers. Hoang Le

Hi, I have recently noticed that my graphics and frame rate have decreased. I did not install any new addons, update fsx, or even do anything different on my pc! One night, my graphics and fps were good (as usual), but I shut down my pc, and the next day when I powered on my pc and loaded fsx, I had lost at least 10 fps, and the textures in FTX Global had a noticeably lower resolution, and there were pop-ins EVERYWHERE! Does anyone know what is going on? Thanks. Pictures: http://imgur.com/a/ZXBs7 UPDATE: The only thing that changed between when I had good fps+graphics to bad fps+graphics was that vPilot came out with an update, which I didnt install.

I've been around here for many years but have been in and out of the hobby the last couple years. I have always gravitated towards medium complexity aircraft (think QW stuff), and my big focus has been on creating an immersive environment with wonderful scenery, AI and weather. As long as the aircraft were beautiful, I was happy. RW systems were not that important to me (and still really are not, to an extent). I'm pretty busy with a kid on the way. If I want to fly, I need to get up in the air quickly (45mins). I need to let AP control things while in flight, and I can land after my wife goes to bed. 3-5 hour flights are ideal. The time consuming part seems to be the fli…

Hi, so I am new to Avsim, so don't be harsh please So I am very confused. Should I get the hdev2 clouds, which they say "photoreal" or aleclerque creations clouds? I am very very confused, and don't know which one is better! Thanks in advance, Boris Vanian(a.k.a. McMini)

About a year ago I discovered FSX-SE and I went nuts over it. Spent a ridiculous amount of money on addons and an equally ridiculous amount of time tweaking it all so it ran beautifully. Then a double disaster struck. Somehow, the installation became corrupt and wouldn't load. At the same time I was hit with a health crisis. The combination was a bit too overwhelming so I abandoned FSX-SE and went back to my beloved old FS9. Well, it's not really "old FS9" as it has been tweaked and modernized beyond the imagination of most FSX/P3D users who gave it up years ago..... But that's not the topic. The deal is that my health is now sufficiently robust and my frustration at …

To date I haven't used any real VATSIM people or any addon ATC packages for FSX:SE so I bumble along using the default ATC which as we all know has limitations I do inject real world METARs via FSOpen Clouds though, but the sim usually integrates that in quite well - ATIS gives an appropriate runway use based on the wind. I was flying back from Chambery to Leeds Bradford (Freemium 757). The weather was foggy over parts of England. ATC told me to expect vectors for visual RWY14. OK fair enough, it might be clear When I got the last vector telling me how far I was from the airport and to report runway in sight.... there was just a blanket of fog around and below me..…

Hello Can you let me know if there is a chance to dim the "storm" light? It is way too bright for night landings. Cheers Csaba

I flew this aircraft for a little bit, but got frustrated because i couldn't read the display screens in the cockpit. Flash forward to the release of the FS Labs Airbus, which have display screens that are more than readable, and I'm wondering, what did Aerosoft do that made the text on their displays so minuscule? I'm all for being super realistic with these kinds of aircraft. I've asked Aerosoft about this, but they just scratch their heads and wonder what I'm talking about. I can provide screen shots of what I mean am I the only one who has issues with reading the display screens on the AE version of the a320?

FSX HDE SKY TEXTURES V2.0, by Pablo Diaz ​Is it fully compatible with FSX-SE and those can safely installed ?? Tnx Yair

Hell all, For those that successfully were able to update NAVAIR data using the FSXP3D_navadis utility. using FSX-SE, I'm trying to make it happen but though following the installation instruction, for some reason it doesn't updating. KSNA for example remain 19L 19R instead of 20L 20R Any help will be highly appreciated Reg. YAir
