Hi all, I've started digging into a new heavy metal airplane and the iFly 747 v2 is in the running. I've read positive reviews out there but, looks pretty silent over here. How is it? What do you like and dislike. And what flightplan formats can it use in the FMC? Gregg

Hi all, anyone have any joy using the Tenerife South from sim breeze working on fsx se? Thanks in advance

Is any remedy for Q400 jumping when on the ground ? It is quite annoying and constant problem for me P3D3.2

Hi I was wondering what is the best md-80 for fsx. meaning which md-80 has the most systems simulated Thanks

Hello, I have recently installed dash8 q400 into prepar3d 2.4 and all is working fine except for the sounds in the external views (e g locked spot). The problems is that, outside the cockpit, only the sounds from inside the VC are heard. So there is no engine sound or APU/GPU, as they are supposed to be heard outside the VC. In FSX I do not have this issue. Has anyone come accross this issue? Any hint for solving this? Thanks!

I installed Lamont Clark's AI Carriers2 but find that I can land an airplane on the Nimitz or Eisenhower with arrestor cable but I cannot catapult the same aircraft using the catapult (there is no functional catapult). Also, no AI aircraft appear on the deck of the carriers! I cannot find a solution to this problem and Lamont Clark is nowhere to be found (doesn't answer his email). If there is no solution, then I would probably install Flight Deck 6 which I do have. Can anyone help? I would be grateful. If I should uninstall before installing Flight Deck 6, then how should I go about doing that? Thanks in advance. roglav

The Baytower RV7 seems to be a great VFR aircraft to enjoy the scenery, it has great visibility and, unlike the Lancair Legacy, it's a plane that a mortal can buy or build.. It fits very well with my personality. But someone here the other day recommended the Ryan Navion B that is aveliable in SOH and it's pretty much what i flew the last week So before purchasing the RV7 is there a freeware gem that i don't know about? Thanks!

Hi all Does anyone know where to find Botoje's cfg tweaker. I can't seem to find it anymore. Thanks in advance

Pretty much what the title says. Is Nick N's guide still applicable to I7-6700K processors and GTX 970 cards? mslim

I'm curious if I misspelled it then forgive me my spelling is terrible, also I have FSC (flight sim commander) and was wondering if I need to rebuild the database every time I update the navdata?

Hi, could you please assist to get an official Arabian airlines liveries for PMDG 737. I believe that PMDG didn't consider the category of those users at all. Regards

I don't know how to describe this but I guess I would say my trees and building are not sharp at a distance and look kinda pixelated. Thanks for your help. http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/263835706285355197/E7CC371824D85552C1E03AB5A46773AC44744A73/ http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/263835706285355197/E7CC371824D85552C1E03AB5A46773AC44744A73/ http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/263835706285355473/3857E2BB42FC4954A42FA050915CCFAD5DFB8851/

Hello, I've recently installed FSX:SE on a new computer which specs are: Windows 10 Home intel i5 5200U @2.2 GHz Nvidia GeForce 840M (2GB) 8GB of RAM @ 798MHz I'm having some issues with the autogen: they load up close to my aircraft, but when you look further away there are no autogen buildings or trees and the textures are quite blurry. Here are some pictures to illustrate my problem: These are my current FSX:SE settings: does anyone have an idea of what I can do to make buildings and trees appear further from my aircraft?

I posted the following in the FS Developer's Forum, but thought I might post it here also in the hopes it will get twice the visibility. "As many if not most of you know, probably due to Microsoft's drive to bring FSX to us way back when, the Overhead on the default B737-800 leaves much to be desired. Just one of many issues is using the fuel switch on the pedestal to start her instead of the starters on the overhead. Also, APU generator switch, the Overhead fuel switches, light switches, starter light warning on ECAM never going out, etc. But thank goodness they made the seatbelt/smoking switch work so we can control the urges of virtual passengers that don't exist. I …

Hi guys, After pesting Oliver for an update on the product, this status was released this morning. "Alright, here we go. I am indeed VERY sad to announce that we have to cancel the A380 for the time beeing. Its a very hard descision for me as the A380 has always been somewhat "my baby" and I have been working on it since 2007. But things are moving in a different direction now so I had to make a choice. I was always afraid to give up, having in mind the thousands of working hours that have gone into the project so far. Giving it up would make all of that worthless. I am very sorry to disappoint you people here - but I don't have a choice. To be honest, I wasn't …

New high end PC, new FSX install. Everything WAS working beautifully. New GTX970 card with up to date drivers. Installed Flight1 products - Instant Scenery 3, Instant Object Studio and T182T Cessa. Fired up the sim in windowed mode....checked those three products out...everything is fine. Switch to full screen mode and my screen went partially white, although some display is showing. Never had this before ever. Could not switch back to windowed mode, FSX crashes. Has anyone any idea what is causing this and what might be the remedy? Bryan check out the screenshots.

There are 2 Cairo HECA airport sceneries. (after years of none!) Both look nice, but one has the city as well as the airport modeled. Which one is best? ARMI Project or SDG? SDG has Cairo X city so that is a plus. But the screenshots it looks like ARMI has a little better modeling. I cannot decide, anyone have an answer which one to get?

For those that would like to use Mogwaisoft's Shade in FSX-SE in a dual install, I've figured out how to get it to work. It does involve a registry change so if you are don't know how or are not comfortable with editing the registry you may not want to do this. Up to now to get addons that do not support a FSX-SE dual installation, it has become necessary to use the F1 Registry repair utility to switch between the FSX-Box and FSX-Steam installation. This works for many addons, but Shade still points to the FSX-Box installation. The problem I found is that there are 2 registry entries for the FSX path One in the Current User Software section and one in Local Machine. The …

I'm experiencing a very strange problem with FSX. All of a sudden I have no cloud or precipitation textures/effects in my sim. It doesn't matter which weather theme I select, whether one of the default themes, ORBX themes, or ActiveSky Next, and there's also no change whether I launch ActiveSky Next or not. There are zero low or mid level clouds, and no rain, snow or fog effects visible. I do get a few high level cirrus clouds visible (depending on which weather theme is selected), but that's it. I run FSX:SE (stand-alone install) in DX10 mode with Steve's Fixer. I haven't made any changed to DX10, Nvidia Inspector or FSX.cfg in the past month so I'm ruling those …

hello there my RPM seems to cap out around 1917 in the kodiak when the condition lever is pushed all the way up. i looked in the performance manual and most of their numbers seems to indicate that 2200 is the max for takeoff and 2000 is for climb or fast cruise. manual link is here, an example page is 5-44 -> http://questaircraft.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/KODIAK_AIM.pdf is there something amiss with my settings that is preventing reaching this value or am i misunderstanding something about the operation? i have been 'eyeballing' the setting, putting it in the green band and not worrying about the exact value and it seems to fly well but i'm n…

I am trying to be able to insert victims for rescue missions. I went ahead and moved the files from the MISC folder into the BOAT folder in the SimObjects. I went online and copied the info into the AIcarrier.cfg file and I am unable to find them in the drop box when I hit shift J. It only gives me the ships to input. Can someone please help so I can use the objects to practice helicopter SAR? This is the website I got the info from. http://forum.aerosof...-in-seahawks-x/ Right now I am having to do the missions in fsx but I'd like to make my own and according to this site it is possible. Thank you for any input.

am trying to do the Baltic sea rescue mission. I changed the aircraft to the aerosoft Seahawk and when I try to hoist up the victims they won't grab the hoist. When I use the hover approach setting the helo is at about 100 feet but the hoist isn't long enough so I manually did the hover and the hoist was perfect yet they wouldn't grab on. I have watched videos of people grabbing them with the default EH01 that aren't even in a steady hover. Has anybody else had this issue?

Hi...I am trying to turn off the smoke system in FSX. I press "I" but it doesn't go off, the option remains "ticked" in the menu. Any ideas ?

Greetings! Has anyone had luck lately increasing the setting for LOD_RADIUS in the [TERRAIN] section of FSX.CFG beyond the GUI-limited value of 4.5? When I first transitioned from my old box version of FSX to the Steam edition, I recall being able to do this just like the box edition, and I really enjoy running with 5.5 or 6.5 for the greater clarity of distant objects. But lately, and it may have begun after an update from Dovetail, I have noticed that the value is reverting to the "max" of 4.500000 as limited by the GUI slider. This is kind of a bummer since I've gone to great pains to set up a good DX10 environment which frees up additional virtual addre…
