MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum

Being relatively new to FSX, although flying FS since the early 80s, I was struck by the rather blurred scenery when viewed from the cockpit. Lots of discussion on this subject across the forums and after searching through these, I came across this video and this from Hovercontrol http://www.hovercontrol.com/artman/publish/article_103.shtml This is all probably old news for most of you, but I'll post it anyway. :smile: Notice the mountains on the left of the horizon ..........

Having d/loaded and installed this lovely aircraft, followed by the 'Nav. Pack; add on, I am finding it impossible to create either a "Direct to" or a Flight Plan using the G1000 or the GCU 477 units. i believe the first input needs to be the ICAO code for my start airfield. However, when I use the inner section of the FMS control wheel and turn it clockwise, despite the input area - lying immediately below the Comms radio settings - starting to flash willingly, there's no way that I can input any code. It just flashes away, blissfully indifferent. Anything I might have missed ? That sound problem I had earlier has been solved with a bit of finger extracti…

I thought some of you might be interested in this new LUA file that is available for the TFDi 717. The hard work was done by a user called @Skipy, who used the FSUIPC event logging to gain all of the MCP's FSUIPC Event IDs. I just tidied up his work in progress and tested it in FSUIPC. :smile: As long as you own FSUIPC Registered version, with this LUA script you can assign keyboard commands to the 717's MCP - all functions work (mode buttons, -/+ knobs like the heading knob, etc), with the exception of the PROF button. This should also help users who use hardware such as the GoFlight modules, that can work with keyboard commands. http://forums.tfdidesi…

I have recently installed FSX de Luxe edition from the MS discs. All went well until I tried to select a flight. I get to the first screen with the Cessa on the runway and the engine running. However, when I open the throttle the sounds change correctly but the aircraft does not move. The flaps do not move either. The S key for viewing direction has no effect but the different sound source does. Can anybody help please. If it is an NVIDIA problem or DirectX issue how do I check these? I am not very computer literate so it will need a clear step by step explanation. I am operating under Windows 10 64 bit and there is ample memory. Any advice would be gratefully received.

Hey guys, Lately I've been flying a bit in Japan. Fortunately, there's good freeware landclass and vector information for japanese lands, so this isn't exactly my problem. My problem is... I'm struggling to find good airport sceneries for Japan. This is kinda sad. I have these two excellent sceneries from Pacific Island Sim (Chubu Centrair and Nagasaki), but that's all. I've found some stuff by Wing Creation, but their rendition of Narita is just too expensive... Moreover, I simply cannot find good airport sceneries for Hokkaido area, which interests me a lot. :( Is Japan really lacking good airports? Does anyone has any good tips in this subject? Should…

Hi all, I'd like to modify the fuselage of aircraft to add airline branding, is it possible to take an already defined aircraft and re-model it? Regards, Ron Milne.

Happy New Year first to all FS guys around I started with the Dash again and faced a problem without I can not taxi on the airport. I assigned the steering tiller to the Ailerons+Mouse. But as you can see on the pics below it's not working. On neutral yostick the tiller is steering to the right and if I pull the joystick to the full left its only into a neutral position :o Using the mouse only is very hard for me and not handy. Sadly there is no way to assing the tiller to the rudder like it's on the other planes in P3D. As I'm having the Pro version I configured the 125Mhz via the tool from that VA site. Prior that it was not working either. I'm using the P…

Dear Simmers, If you belong to those, how do lik to operate water- or even amphibous airplanes, then you did noticved allready: independend from the weather, the ocean always and everywhere is flat as it can get, if it comes down to the therm "flat". Now I have an idea how to change that, without having no clue how to programm it. What, if there would be a terra mesh forming waves on the water., I do know, that kind of "hills" wouldn't move, but at least, the would be there. In reality at bigger oceans, like the Atlantic Ocean, or the Pacific Ocean, at least the nive and very longe waves always are there even in calm weather, created by weather con…

Dear fellow simmers, I noticed something wrong from the beginning, when the first helicopter occured at the FS98. It still is wrong at the FS9 und FSX, thus I do place this toppic under two titles in this FSX- and the AVSIM-FS2004-Forum to hope that there will be some-one out there with a smart answer. The wrong detail discovered ist this: By hovering a helicopter above water the main-rotor's arodynamical downforce creates wakes and spray on/at the water's surface. In reality it is like this: - if you would slowly decent your hoovering hight from, let's presume 1.000 ft above the water's surface down to let's say 1 ft above the water's surfac…

All of a sudden my right-click menus and atc boxes are blank i.e. No text. The rest of FSX runs fine. Any ideas how to correct this problem?

When using FSX I like to use a second sound card so that I can receive the ATC from a headset. I'm having an issue where the sound card used for the headset will automatically turn off reverting the sound of ATC back to my surround speakers. I've trouble shooted this to no avail including trying another headset, changing from a usb sound card to a PCIE sound card, removing most of my unnecessary usb components and still the same issue. I can recreate the issue easily by spinning my Saitek trim wheel though I think my Saitek yoke has caused the issue on occasion also. When I walk in front of my system it does the same thing even if the program is paused. I can hear th…

Just found it on the Flytampa site for sale for FSX/P3D, downloading now. 2 files; 1 at 314MB,2nd at 1.8GB http://www.flytampa.org/eham.html

I got the Orbx NA Airports Freeware a few weeks ago but I noticed this problem when I was flying into KRSW yesterday when all of the airports in the area looked strange. This was also happening in many other areas like California. The scenery from the towns or farms mixed into the airports leaving only the taxiways, runways, aprons, etc. But when I first got this airport pack I was very pleased with the quality of the airports and I still am, but I saw that KOPF was included so I went to fly there and the same problem occurred. Many other airports included in the pack work perfectly fine, for some reason it just affected these. I have some pictures to put up but I just ne…

One thing that makes me wonder, why does REX even cost anything? Don't get me wrong, the clouds look incredible, and I'm sure took some work to develop. But looking at the runway textures, lighting, and everything else REX comes with, why can't anyone achieve this through freeware? It looks as if they just slapped together a concrete texture in mspaint, is this not achievable with freeware? The concrete looks good, but doesn't in any way seem comparable to a new game. Obviously flight sims cant look as good as a next gen game, because of how complex they are, but couldn't they at least make a more high definition runway? Hopefully this makes sense, wasn't sure how…

Hi All, I'm wondering if there's a way to read the text of FSUIPC messages that isn't tied to the simulator panels. My screen reading technology doesn't seem able to get anything from them, probably because of the technique use to draw the controls on screen. Nevertheless, a lot of add-ons seem to use the messages for various purposes, and it seems reasonable that something like this might exist. I'm envisioning a program rather like an old-style computer console, possibly even running in a Windows command prompt. It would display the messages as they come in, and that's probably about it. The key for me is that my screen reader needs to be able to access them, an…

Is it possible to file flight plan from KSFO flying F35A Lightining 11 to USS Nimitz located near Golden Gate Bridge and do ILS landing? George Hembree

Is there any fix for this ? The airport elevation has gone strange http://i.imgur.com/ytpodYL.jpg Thanks B)

Hi guys, I'm having some problems with FSX that I can't sort out. I need some help. I have fixed some but these I can't. 1. When flying, the scenery seem to have an over resolution, with tiny little dots moving around. The sky sometimes has various tones of light blue in stripes across the sky. In the VC in some planes it's difficult to read labels. Also some planes appear ghost like. 2. Helicopters don't have power to fly. They can just hover a few feet and don't really fly. Add on ones, don't start after the initial stage. Payware planes, only the recently bought ones seem ok. Pmdg do work ok as well as some others. Older ones don't start correctly. …

I stumbled on this story. If this really comes to pass, it could solve a lot of issues when it comes to finding a new or replacement yoke at a reasonable price http://powerupgaming.co.uk/2017/01/06/dedicated-flight-simulation-brand-announced-at-ces-by-snakebyte-group/ btw, there is no word about this on any of Snakebyte's urls.

Not too long ago I remember seeing an addon aircraft (not sure if it was for FS9 or FSX) for the DA20 Katana/Eclipse that had an option to have the primary flight instruments on the right side of the panel for USAF training. I have spent the last day searching everywhere to find it again but absolutely cannot locate it. HELP!! Anyone else out there seen it? Thanks! Mike

https://blog.tfdidesign.com/2016/12/21/release/ "Folks, First, let me start off by saying this has been an incredible journey. We made a commitment that 2016 would be the year of the 717, and so it shall be. Before I announce the all important date and time, there’s something I’d like to share. The release for us isn’t the end of the journey. It is a start, in a way. We believe the product we’re going to release will be thorough and enjoyable. That said, like any other product, especially the first release, it will not be perfect. We have developed technology to deliver updates that are smaller, quicker, and easier than they are for any comparable product. The…

.....with collision detection on! Being local to me, one of the first airports I searched for when I got FSX:SE last year was good old EGNH. Ian's scenery does a good job of creating a relatively modern EGNH (even though there's only GA & small tiny commercial flights happening there currently) and places a reasonable model of Blackpool Tower (no NOT the control tower, the 500ft tall tourist attraction) in the right place. Ideal for me seeing as I'm using photoreal scenery (no autogen). Anyhow, there was an issue when taking off on RWY28 heading out to sea. The invisible building crashes were happening despite being about 1000 feet up. No structure is remotely clo…

Hi, folks, Simple question: is there any freeware military aircraft that doesn't needs the Acceleration Pack in order to work? I've been interested in military jets lately, but most of them don't work properly without Acceleration... and my FSX is the old "Deluxe" version. I don't even need carrier ops. capabilities (for which the Accel. pack would be necessary, I think). Just want to fly a bit something other than normal jets... I actually have FSX:SE, which includes Accel. pack if I recall correctly, but I'm not willing to install it as I already have a FSX installation here... Thanks for any input! Best regards,

When I undock a panel (GPS, Radio, etc) it places a black shape where the panel was and redraws a flickering image in a different location. See image. The image in the upper left hand corner is flickering constantly. Any ideas?

Hi, would somebody be willing to send me the alternate soundset... thanks a lot!
