MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum

Hi guys, I have written the majority of this text in a topic on the p3d forum but I wanted to write my thoughts here to. **NOTE the following is my personal *opinions* only and that doesn't represent the projects I am working with. I have been with FSX loyally since release, is it almost a decade now?) I have put thousands of hours into it and thousands of pounds/dollars. I have been on the fence with p3d and for good reason. I do work with HIFI sim, Majestic software and Fs2crew, 2.5 is the first version that some of these products work for. 2 days ago I installed P3D 2.5 from FSX DX9 sp2 and these are my initial thoughts. To those on the fence. …

I had tried installing EZDOK for P3D v2...but this may have messed up my FSX EZDOK settings. When I start FSX, EZDOK is not running.. I checked the exe.xml and the location where its to start ezdok is right and the files are all there <Launch.Addon> <Name>EZdok camera addon</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\EZCA\EZCA.exe</Path> </Launch.Addon> Also when I start EZdok camera addon tool and clock on Configure FSX, I get a pop up saying "The ROOT section in EXE.XML file not found. EZCA will not start automatically. Do I have to reinstall EZDOK for fsx? and if so would it over write al…

I have been having some strange issues, and short of wiping out my system and rebuilding, I am not sure where to look. Basically, the Add-on drop down items are not consistenting working. Example FSUIPC shows in the drop down, but selecting it does not bring up the FSUIPC screen. I have aicarriers in the EXE.XML, but it does not start with FSX and does not show in the drop down. When I start FSX, FSX.EXE and COUATL.EXE are in the task manager. If I shutdown FSX, they are removed from the task manager. If I start FSX, select FSUIPC, which does not do anything, when I exit FSX, FSX.EXE and COUATL.EXE remain in the task manager. I have restore my system back…

Hi there, after my installation of FSrecorder yesterday I wasn't able any more to use FSDT products like GSX, so I noticed there are are no items on my addons menu in FSX except Ezdok camera addon. Otherwise nothing. No FSUIPC, no Addon Manager. Everything gone. I don't know if the installation of FSrecorder has caused this problem, so if I remember correctly prior the installation everything worked fine. I already have de-installed FSrecorder, but no change occurred. Do you have any ideas why all items just vanished? I can't puzzle out it.

i just saw some videos of this New York City x. They look incredible. Will this scenery bring my fsx to its knees?? My normal orbx regions and fsdt airports run really good. Just wondering if ya guys have this sceney

Hi, I have a terrible problem. I've downloaded the FSX SP1 and install it. But not succeded. While about 3 minutes remaining, it says : "Error1935. Error occured during installation of assembly "Microsoft.FlightSimulator.Simconnect... bla bla bla... Please refer to help and support for more information". Can anyone help me fix it??? Thanks

Fellow simmers, Irecently purchased the Aerosoft A318-A321 bundle, and, as expected, it looks great. I'm having some troubles, however, in the setting up of the EZDok camera. Whenever I switch views, I'm getting a black flicker along the top of my screen. It looks almost as it does with the view system turned on, though I've turned it off and still experienced the same issue. I've tried the profile from the forum, and just making my own, along with deleting all of the interior (and, afterwards, exterior) views from the aircraft.cfg, to no avail. Whenever I switch views, there's a flicker of a black bar. It seems insignificant, though it is quite distracting, especia…

Hello avsim.net community. I have a problem with camera switch. To be short: when I press "S" using default camera, views are being switched with a short flickering. Something like, for a part of a second it's being reset, and continues to change the view after in a normal way. So to explain better, here's algorhythm: 1. keypress "S" or "Shift+S"; 2. view changes to what it should be \0,1 sec\; 3. view flickers\resetting itself on chosen position \0,1 sec\; 4. view switches what it should be switched to (e.g. from cockpit to outside view). Comparing to normal switching: 1. keypress "S" or "Shift+S"; 2. view switches what it should be switched to (e.g. from …

Hello all. Does anyone have any opinions on the best L1011 Tristar for FSX? From what I can see, there are two major contenders, 1011 Captain from CaptainSim and L-1011 TriStar Professional from Just Flight. Can't seem to find any comparisons of the two. Grateful for any comments you can share about either one. Thank you

Hi, I tried registering on the Steam website to ask about whether my add-ons would be compatible or not and it said I need to verify my email address by clicking on "settings" in the system tray or file menu. I couldn't find it anywhere. Has anyone been able to register and is familiar? Thanks. Tom

Today I decided to put FSX-SE through paces that I would not even try with FSX-MS or P3D V2 unless I cut way back on the sliders. I'm trying to determine what is FSX-SEs' limit as far as when it cant take anymore and crashes. A normally brutal schedule in the default 737-800 from KBOS-KLGA-KPHL-KDCA-KCLT-KMCO-KMIA with 30 min stops at each. Without exiting FSX-SE at all, all day long. No CTD, no OOM, smooth as Crisco butter. The only sliders I cut back on were car traffic at 33, water full left. I keep ground shadows, bloom, and DX10 off. All other settings at MAX and I even used the NVidia Inspector to give me 4x4 AA, 8XSS and limited the FPS to 58. I'm extre…

So the only question is, with the programming/code improvements to Terrain Cache Flushing, Vertex and Index Buffers, VS2013 compiler, Texture Composition, and other changes that aren't in the change log but that Pete Dawson says are "significant" and the numerous reports from users of better frames and smoother performance, is it just placebo or is it real? A little about me: I have been a flight simmer for the better part of 15 years. I have belonged to about 3 different VA's where I have accumulated about 3000 hours and have about 180 real world hours in various aircraft such as the 172, 150, and Cherokee. I am an avid computer builder, overclocker, and a watercool…

Hi all: I need some ideas on how to brighten my taxi lights on the aircraft and landing lights. I really can't see the taxiway stripes at all, nor the runway centerline when landing at night. I think I understand how to change the lights. Go to aircraft.cfg/lights and find the effects file that control the light in question. Then to FX/Effects and open the effects file in question. This points you to a Texture file in the Effects/Texture folder. Then you can replace the .bmp file. If this sounds ok, then can anyone point me to a good, bright bmp file? The Texture file name is fx_2 I believe. Thanks much Edit: On the other hand, could I be doing this to myself with …

Hey guys, Go get it... http://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=41279 Cheers TJ

Everything was fine today till I loaded ASN which I just bought three days ago) and when I ran it tonight it said it needed an update. So I donwloaded the update, saved it, and then ran it. It added a line to my FSX.cfg for affinity mask which I did not ask for. It also said it was modifying some files but I don't know which ones as I trusted the program. Then I lost the use of EZCA and track IR. When I ran the configurator for EZCA I got a box with this messgae: "The ROOT section in EXE.xml file not found." Any ideas what happened? I hope an Acronis restore of the whole system does something as I have never done one before. FSX Gold Win 7 64

I have PFPX so it sets my waypoints, SIDS and STARS automatically. I want to use the ATC in FSX but I don't know about how to put the waypoints in the fsx flight planner. I know you can drag the line to get the waypoint to be added but what if I don't know where the waypoints are on the map. I have been creating an IFR plan 50 miles out from the airport to have ATC give me vectors for landing but I would like to have ATC guide me like real life throughout the entire flight. I was flying from Tampa to Frankfurt Germany which makes it hard to put in waypoints in FSX when it is crossing the ocean. Any help or suggestions?

Good day All, Can anyone help with a spoiler problem on the default Lear. When it is extended it never looks as if it is extending high enough. I have checked the aircraft cfg and it says that it has a 60 degree limit but it is definitely not extending to 60 degrees. I do not seem to be able to find a way to change this in the cfg. Any help appreciated Thanks Mike

These two 737s are the same. Notice how in the picture on the right, the rear of the plane looks equal in size to the front, even though it is actually further away. This is how aircraft and other objects are shown in FSX. The picture on the left is how things look to the human eye - when things are further away, they appear smaller. Is there a way that I can change the view in FSX to be like the left? Thanks, Leif

From the QW forum.. http://qwsim.flight1.net/forums/ultimate-757-collection-installer-for-steam_topic4444.html

Apologies if this has been asked, already. I installed UT2 and few third-parties (ORBX and others) airports. Sometimes I see aircrafts overlapping when parked, and I hate that. After quick search I realised that if you are using a software moving round AI-traffic (such as UT2), it makes sense to get rid of default planes. It is also quite apparent that their graphic quality of defaults is different from the one injected by UT2. It just makes sense to start fresh with just UT2-planes. The question: is there a smart way/tool to systematically eliminate all default static aircrafts from the Scenery folders of all my airports? Any setting in FSX, perhaps? many than…

New to FSX. Read and u-tubed a lot about scenery add-ons and would like to buy but put off about the performance issues. Primarily I want to fly and not enjoy the view so much. Watching the vids on flyTampa's web site and even they cant get their scenery to run smoothly so what chance for me? I dont think the issues are so much fps - the human eye doesnt go faster than 20fps anyway so why bother about faster. What I do see though is something quite different - stuttering. It seems the sim pauses momentarily to 'catch its breath' accessing data, so maybe more RAM might help everybody rather than expensive video cards.

I was wondering, if FSL is still in business ? I haven't heard form them in recent times. The only product I've heard from them is the Concorde. Their A320 has literally taken for so much, for years. Or maybe, their Airbus is a lot more complex than a Boeing to develop?

When i open FSX at the gate in windows mode every thing is fine but when i change to full view the graphic settings are changed and at the same time writes a duplicate settings in the CFG file.I am at a lost as to what is causing this can some one help please............................................robin
