Is there any EFB with a tablet 2d window bezel available for FSX-SE? While I hate 2D windows this is the only case when the EFB would look more or less realistic popping up in a 2D window on the main FSX screen. I have AivlaSoft's EFB, but I don't think there is a modeling of a tablet in a 2D window. I used to use AivlaSoft on a networked PC/Monitor, but I'd rather bring it up as a 2D window with a tablet bezel. Thanks.

I know that in years past, there weren't very many good business jets to take for a spin in FSX, and there seem to be a handful out now and I was wondering if any were worth the money, in particular, I think I saw that Carenado has a couple out now, and was wondering if either are fairly realistic? I'd like one of a decent range, so I can go more than a hop and a skip. Thanks. I'm not just looking at Carenado though so if anyone has another suggestion for a non airliner type jet, let me know!

I tried my own saved flight (FSX Acceleration) using the developer's web site instructions. The flight loads .. Bat etc all off but the engines are running ... if I shut the Jet pumps off then it goes cold and dark? Also, intermittent the Pure Cold and dark will not let me start the engines??

At a few payware airports (e.g., KATL, KPHX), I get a few buildings/houses floating about 3-500' near the airport--everything else is fine. I've got FSGenesis, FTX and UTX for terrain and landclass. I have most of the payware airfields loaded below UTX in config. Thanks Rich Perry

I'm want to use the same textures for REX4TD and Soft Clouds in my P3D setup as my FSX setup, but I never made a theme. I kinda just uploaded them one by one. So, yeah, where can I find what textures I am using.

Hi all, I just wanted to run this past the forum and see if anyone can find a reason why I shouldn't do this. Recently I installed World of AI and some airline packs too, I just wanted something a bit more realistic than the default ones. Anyway after installing and finding out that all my default airliner and GA traffic had vanished I did some searching and found that you have to convert the "Traffic.bgl" files to fsx, which I have now done using AIFP3, and lo and behold I now have both default AI aircraft and World of AI aircraft happily existing side by side, brilliant!. One of the many idea's I picked up was to make a new folder and install all of the Worl…

Hi, I put together a document about custom camera view configuration in FSX. I use only standard FSX functionality still I believe I could reach a quality that is comparable with payware solutions. Main advantages: Does not require payware components Does not influence FSX’s standard hotkey and joystick handling Does not introduce a new module that might not be fully stable Keeps the default Top-Down view that seems not to be available with EzDok Keeps the aircraft centric camera movement that seems not to be available with EzDok Disadvantages of the solution: No extra fancy effects Maximum 10 hotkey triggered camera views Less convenient, less automatic view creat…

I have heard that lowering ai textures helps with performance but I have not seen any tutorials online.

Hi all, I've been trying to use the FSX Learning Center to work on becoming a better pilot. I know bits and pieces when it comes to flying, but I really want to get a solid foundation. I've been using the Lessons tab to go through all the virtual flight training with Rod Machado. So far it's been pretty helpful but I've run into a small issue with Student Pilot Lesson 3. It seems that when I complete all of the requirements (climb, descend, descend with flaps, climb, and then descend in right and left turns) nothing happens. After I descend in my right and left turns back down to 3,000 feet it seems like the lesson should end, however nothing happens I just fly aroun…

So I just BARLEY got fsx to work with 25fps and I really love ai traffic because I do IFR for almost every flight, But I hear the traffic causes fps to go down from 5 to 20 fps on different settings, I have heard that WOAI has less of an fps drop but I use default planes so it looks awkward If I have an orbit airlines with a Qantas a380 next to each other.

Hi folks Here is what I want to do. I am trying to simulate a real world flight that took place in the past. I have ASN and I understand that if I set "force to sim time" and I then set FSX time to a past date and time, Active Sky will automatically give me the weather for that date without selecting historical weather in Active Sky. In order to create the correct OFP using PFPX with weather from the past date and time would I have to set the Historic weather date and time in Active Sky as well as 'force to sim time'? I hope that makes sense' I basically want the weather, flight plan and Sim to reflect the past date and time for the historical flight. Regards Colin

I deleted some add-on scenery files using the scenery library facility in FSX. As a result, the scenery numbering in my working scenery.cfg file now jumps from [Area.115] to [Area.120] and is contiguous from there up to [Area.126]. Is the jump in area numbering a problem I need to fix? If so, can I just use a notepad like text editor to make all the area numbers contiguous? Thx, Al

I have been fighting sudden appearance of stutters and lower FPS for a couple of months now and it was driving me nuts. Then I read this article on ASUS MB having HPET (High Precision Event Timer) enabled in the BIOS. The article (which I can't find now) claims that it is a source of stuttering/pausing in games (Skyrim) that are CPU dependent. Reading further there is some controversy over whether it should be on or off, the author claims off is better. So I followed some simple instructions to determine if mine was on and if Windows 7 had it enabled. It was on and enabled. So I disabled HPET in windows and turned it off in my BIOS...I was astounded at the immediate and…

Hi, I recently downloaded Shade for fsx-se. I installed every thing without a problem but when I clicked on the application it said "FSX Registry Path is Unreadable, See the Shade Userguide.pdf". So I looked at the manual and it said to use Flight1's Registry path fixer, so I used it and I still got the error. I don't know what to do. I have the 1.2 version. Thanks --K

Hey guys, Question, for some reason only the Aerosim 787 has this issue out of all of my aircraft, when the aircraft is ready to taxi and at stand still, i have to apply over 50% throttle to start moving, that is not realistic at all. My CaptainSim 777 at little over 25% and that beast is moving, something doesnt seem right and not sure where to tweak to adjust that. Thanks

When I originally started flying in FSX my primary interest was the default Boeing 737. I later decided to actually learn to fly and subsequently spent a lot of time flying the Realair Lancair Legacy and A2A's C172. I'm now interested in getting into the virtual B738 cockpit once again. The default aircraft no longer interests me after the realism of the Legacy and the C172 but the PMDG offering is VERY intimidating. I've done a few searches for some basic "introductory" type offerings but really don't know what to opt for. I would appreciate some input from those in the know. My knowledge of FSX is quite good and have good IFR skills. What I don't want right now…

Hi there, When I use some planes, other than PMDG or Aerosoft, the strobe lights flashing frequency change to fast and unrealistic. Any fixes from someone in the know? Thanks in advance. john

Hello! Since I have some problems with signing on to the A2A forum I thought it could be a good idea to ask my (a bit funny I think) question here... I am a proud new Captain of the A2A Flying Fortress. On one of my first taxis I touched the brakes a little bit too hard and flipped it over :rolleyes: but after that there where no remarks or faults in my hangar... and when I load the aircraft it starts with engines running, but I left it cold and dark at the last flight. Now my question: On the 2D panel (SHIFT 3) is accusim ON when it shows "ON" or is it OFF and with click on "ON" I activate it? :huh: Screenshot: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ERJNR…

Hello I've being flying default fsx for a while at medium graphics with no add ons, (due to technical restraints) and I have realized that a lot of the airports that i fly to have only 1 gate heavy or none in the airport in fsx while real life has like 5-10. I know that it technically possible to change the config file so the gate is heavy but i haven't found much support or tutorials on how to do so. I just saved fsx from a previous issue that occurred and took a long time to fix so I would like to ask on the forums. How to change a gate in default fsx from small or medium to heavy. and how to change a ramp to a gate. Thank you very much and please I am new so please…

Hello, here is a problem I am having with Ultimate Traffic 2 (UT2) in FSX. Small airfields don't have default GA traffic. In some/most cases, small airfields don't even have AFCADs for parking AI GA aircrafts. I have read that such AFCADS are created and distributed by passionate volunteers. That is great news. Once AFCADs are in place, there is still the problem of generating a schedule for GA aircrafts... and I certainly don't want to spend hours putting this in by hand. Question: is there a tool to AUTOMATICALLY generate flight schedules in UT2? Even better if it could allow random refresh, so that every time you flight from same airfield you will get new ra…

I want to make sure I'm using this program correctly. Let's say I only fly in the PNW of the USA. I open the default scenery.cfg, uncheck all the other boxes except default scenery and then all the Orbx scenery that I have. First I save it as PNW.cfg so I can pull it up again. But to actually have my main FSX install reflect these changes I need to also save this as Scenery.cfg correct? If I want other regions I have to open the config editor again, then re-check all the airports/scenery I want, then save it as Scenery.cfg and start FSX? Am I correct in thinking FSX won't disable airports unless I save my custom cfg as the main scenery.cfg?

Just installed the latest release and hotfix for Iris Battlefield Airlifter. The AP won't engage. When trying, it will briefly flash AP on the MFD but then it turns off almost instantly. Anyone have this working in SE?
