MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum

Cruising at FL 390 tonight in PMDG NGX, sure I saw what appeared to be two "shooting stars" come whizzing past the nose of the aircraft from right to left. Bright white with a short "tail". Never seen this before in FSX. By the time I took the controls to look around, they were gone. Does such a thing exist? It was not another aircraft else the TCAS would have alerted me. I really don't think it was a graphic glitch. I am using REX Essential+ textures and ASN, no other atmospheric add ons.

Just did a fresh install of FSX after building a new PC and while I was at it I picked up some FTX addons that I have been wanting. I installed FSX then installed FTX Global, Vector, and OpenLC EU in that order. I then installed various payware scenery I have from Flightbeam, FSDT, and FlyTampa. I haven't tested this at all of my payware airports but I noticed at FSDT KORD I have bumps and small hills in the middle of the airport and it looks like there are two layers of ground the top one being more transparent. Anyone know if this is an issue caused by FSDT or FTX?

Hi. I cant find an updated version to fsx with the relative new runways. FTX Global has only the old one which is default. Thanks Michael

Hello everbody, A couple of weeks ago I bought a new PC for FSX with the following specs: CPU: i7-4770K (not OC) GPU: MSI GTX N770 2GB RAM: 8 GB DDR3-1866 MB: MSI Z87-G45 Now I have this problem that I see white stripes and flashes in FSX mostly in the bottom of the screen, I searched this problem in different forums and found several tweaks (including bufferpools tweaks and bojote's tweak tool and several other tweaks) but non of them helped. So I thought maybe it was a GPU driver problem, I tried to install a NVIDIA old driver same problem occurred. Then I re-installed windows (format) and FSX same problem occurred..... I hope you guys know a solution f…

something weird is happening i uninstalled MTX and reinstalled but when i got into scenery library nothing comes up in the directory at the bottom its blank i can see all the folders in the list but the directory remains empty even after selecting it but when i finally got it working following a youtube video its showing up as blank in the AVAILABLE SCENERY AREAS. please help https://www.dropbox.com/s/1at6xvb77ip76o9/Untitled.png ignore that photo when i browse through the library scenery the directory remains blank

Alright guys, here is the 2nd round of the survey! Check it out, and share it with others. >Link is here< So, vote for the aircrafts which you would really like to fly in FSX. Thanks, have a nice day! ^_^

Hello!! could someone direct me to where I can get help about a question re the A2A Cessna C172 I have just downloaded it today, but cant seem to find how to access the "maintenance hanger" Does anyone know...or where do I get this info.. Thank you Dave

The entering flight plan manually is more a general question about how it should be done correctly. I've tried in the past but for some reason I can't seem to figure out what the issue is wit what I am putting into the FMC. Some of the PFPX instructions I can understand. Like I get what are the high altitude airways and stuff those I get but there are times where it says DCT and then more way points after it but I can't figure out what DCT means. Also when there are tons of way points does each one need to be entered or if you are going to be flying along the same airway over multiple waypoints can you just enter the first and last and it will fill in the rest o…

Hi friends I need to use avlasoft EFB on my laptop (not on FSX PC), whats the procedures need to done that ?. Thx

I realize this has probably been asked 100 times already. But Is there a way of creating seperate camera views, so that you don't get the fisheye effect when using 3 monitor eyefinity?

I saw in another forum somewhere that a guy said he was happy he found the website that shows how to get the flytampa ksea into fsx but didn't share a link. Does anyone know how to do this or even know the website? I would like to get all the legacy products to work if I can. Thanks. Scott

I wish I could figure out how to take screenshots of this, but here's my question: My scenery list looks something like this: At the top are various airport sceneries fro TropicalSim, FlyTampa, BluePoint, LatinVFR and Aerosoft. Ten we come to 8 UT TAC item (Detailed Areas, Airports, Ground Polygons, Streams, Water, Railroads, Roads and Lighting) The a number of other airport sceneries followed by a bunch of Megascenery Earth stuff. Then we've got AFM (Aerodrome flattening meshes and a number of other UT items. My question is, is there any harm in this? If you need more info, please let me know. Thanks. Dan Cole

I'd like to open a discussion about LOD_RADIUS and what it really means. Motivation for this came about from using MSE Ultra City Boston. I noticed what seemed like a much smaller radius of HiRes textures. So I started down the road of trying to figure out why. All these years I thought the LOD_RADIUS setting was about distance from my view point or "size" of the area around my view point. After some testing, I noticed that LOD_RADIUS is really about "LOAD" (texture data loads) and not about distance at all. The "distance" is really a visual result of texture data loads for any given location ... so this implies the actual size of the cone that will produce bes…

I finally got around to doing a badly needed GPU upgrade. Before I was using rather modest textures because my computer would choke at the slightest hint of a thunderstorm. So having upgraded, I'm now capable of running a lot more detailed textures and levels of filtering. In fact, although I'm still fps capped by the CPU when running certain planes, it appears that I can run virtually any level of environmental textures, at any level of AA, AF, and Transparency AA. Sparse Grid Super Sampling used to not be possible, now it appears to have no apparent effect on fps or smoothness at reasonable levels. I prefer to stick with 2048 texture clouds though, because I really…

How many of you do a regular reinstall/refresh of FSX? I thinking about doing this annually as my FSX install usually gets bogged down as tim drags on. One thing that has stopped me is the time involved in getting back up and going, but that maybe less than I think. LW

Since Aerosoft forums are down, I will ask here. What is the proper place to adjust the Flight Level of your flight plan? I see "Init cruise Alt/FL" that defaults to "OPT" in the Aircraft section, is that where you change it? Also is it possible to force it to export a FSX flight plan that replaces SID and STAR with waypoints for use in software like PFE? Thanks

Hi. I'm having great troubles with airport light setting whether its the taxi lights, runway lights or VASI lights. This is the tweak I put in the fsx.cfg, but it doesn't seem to change anything. I also use REX for textures but does neither help. Everything is just so "blobby". Any thoughts? RUNWAY_LIGHTS_SURFACE_SCALAR=0.75 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR=0.5 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_APPROACH_SCALAR=0.65 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_STROBE_SCALAR=0.7

Hi all, I have been using fsx for ages and ages all without any problems, I have numerous addon aircraft and scenery as we all do. Recently I bought New York Airports, Flytampa Montreal and FSDT Houston and Vancouver to try and fill a few gaps in my scenery coverage and enable round the world flights landing at addon airports each time as these were the last few I needed to make up some decent routes. New York Airports slows my sim quite a bit but I am still tweaking this product to get the best, however it set me thinking. My sim is loading when first fired up quite slowly and as I understand it has to load up a some details about all my addon aircraft a…

I have now tried just about everything to get my pmdg 737 work in aircraft view mode when using ezdok. I have ran that config tool a ton of times. High memory fix to 1. Any other suggestions? The only option I got left is to uninstall the pmdg and ezdok and start over.

I have installed the freeware Tucano by Simshed. On the whole I am pleased with the aircraft, but I have one issue with it. When the aircraft is started up, the engine goes to full throttle and then returns to idle. I am sure this this realistic, but the problem is that the brakes will not hold the aircraft back when this is done. This results in the aircraft rushing forward by a fairly long way until the revs drop and the brakes come into effect. Not so good when you are on the stand. How can this be changed? Any suggestions would be good!

Virtavia has one that looks nice, but they want over $42.00 USD for it. Thats a lot of money for the scooter. Razbam to my mind has always been kind of the A-4 default answer, but not sure they have a FSX variant? Whats the best Skyhawk? I am in a century series kinda mode right now and the Navy part of me wants a scooter. Eric

I posted this yesterday to the support forum over at QW and got a response (reload the saved flight). Tried it and it didn't work, tried some other things as well (saving while taxiing instead of while stopped, etc.) also to no avail. I am posting the question here in the hope that there is a larger user base here who may have been through it. I still have some additional ideas to try; uninstalling FSDT KLAX V2 & using FSX default KLAX is one of them. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Flight DL1404 headed from KLAX to KSLC. At the hold short line for RW25R the ground cart is somehow re-attached to the aircraft, even though I disconnected it before pushback. Im…

Hey y'all... I've searched around and found a couple models for the A22 but both are based in FS9. (Even though one claims to be compatible with both FS9 and X) When I add one of the A22 aircraft to the FSX aircraft folder most of the plane looks fine but most of the panel and components are invisible and transparent... Most of what I have read says missing textures are to blame. How can I fix this? I do not know how to change textures... This aircraft is important to me as its the same plane flown at the local club.

Hi guys n gals, There was quite a lot of interest over here when I released my replacement Captains Voice Pack for the Aerosoft Airbus A320/A321 (aka. 'Extended'). So I hope it's ok that I let those who were waiting for the reciprocal First Officer (PnF) Voice Pack, know that I have released it this evening ;- http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/files/file/2233-new-first-officer-pnf-voice-pack-airbus-x-extended/ :smile: It will also go into the AVSIM Library of course, in a few days and once approved. Thanks.

Hello Flightsimmers! Just a note to tell you how GREAT Flightbeams KSFO 2.0 is! It is very detailed and is actually better on the framerates than the original !! If you are looking for very realistic scenery, then get Flightbeams KSFO! Paul
