    I was looking for a payware aircraft that is fun for aerobatics, and fairly realistic, doesn't really have to be specifically for aerobatics, but could be a military jet.

  2. When flying at above 2000ft big white squares are now appearing at random on the scenery. I am using FSX with Orbx England scenery and Rex4 textures. Any suggestions as to cause & cure much appreciated.

  3. Hi guys! I am not sure if there is any thread related with this topic or i just did not found it. Whats happening is that i would like to make the lights at night on terrain and aircrafts as well more realistic possible on FSX, ofcourse i understand that should be some addons around the web, and the question is which one is more accurate or recommended? Also compatible with FTX and ORBX extensions. I know there's a lot of pro simmers and good people that know about it, so come and give me your opinion and suggestions, it will be really appreciate

    Hi, Just started my FSX after about a month absence and all of a sudden some of my airport terrains are really screwed up. The runway elevations are way off and the are voids in the runway and objects floating. So far I've seen it at 2 airports: The default KSEA and payware KDFW, but I'm sure there are plenty more. My home airport KOKC is fine all of the ground looks normal. Can anyone shed some light as to what may have happened? I don't recall installing anything that would cause this problem! I would attach a screen shot, but I don't see a way to do it in this new forum. Any help would be appreciated, I don't want to reinstall the whole thi…

  6. Hello there, lately I have noticed that my FPS has gone a bit worse than usual. I tried lowering scenery and all that kind of stiff. But, I did notice that when I hit the "Q" button in FSX, the sound mutes but my FPS goes up (in some cases, its up to 15FPS!) ? What could this even be? I of course wan't to fly with sounds but it looks like there's no way of solving this problem. And yes, I have tried to update my Realtek drivers, but still no difference at all. It would be much appreciated for any suggestions, thanks. EM

    I'm not having much success getting believable returns on the weather radar. I use ASN. I think that I'm reasonably understanding of the basics of succesfully using a weather radar and the methods of choosing the correct tilt. The problem is that the radar is typically cluttered with a sea of reds, yellows, and greens that are definitely not ground return, and most certainly don't match the actual weather. I wish that I had a screenshot to show, but I don't. An example from the last flight is that I was climbing with the nose up about 10 degrees, and even with the wx radar pointed up +5 to +10 degrees, it was indicating there were massive thunderstorms up ahead. …

    Hey guys, So purchased FSPSFA a few days after it was released, and found it be a Fantastic tool. In the Sim i have FPS set to 35, and then in the tool itself i have it set to 30. I find when on approach, when FSPS swicthes my FPS from the Locked number to unlimited, the ground textures go blurry as... When i switch to the wing view, and the FPS goes back to locked, the Textures begin to look nice and crisp again. It only seems to switch to unlimited when im in the VC of aircraft like the NGX and now the 777 300! Is it trying to tell me that it cant hold the locked number ? Should i try putting the FPS down abit and see if it will clear up the textures... Or…

  9. Hello folks Hope you well. Lets understand the idea, in the cruising ALT most of sound you hear in the cockpit is the WIND sounds (due to the high speed the aircraft should in), there is no engine sound noticed during the cruise. Inside FSX most of third party Aircrafts loosing this advantage. & Yes for anyone should notice that if entered to the cockpit during the cruise. (or see youtube vids u will noticed that) And I believe there is a way to modify the AIRCRAFT.CFG to reduce the engine sounds inside the cockpit till reaching a specific speeds (cruising speed and lets say its a 270knots). can I get any help to do that.Finally hope anyone try th…

  11. hello (again), since my first attemp was removed by the moderators, I am going to try again. In my last migration of harddisks I have lost a couple of files of which I thought I had made a backup. Apparently, that was not the case and since I don(t know the names of those file anymore I want to ask here for some help. Most important for me is a script or lua for fsuipc. It registers the used virtual memory and framerates in FSX and depicts those values on a networked computer through wideFS/fsuipc. Is there anybody who can point me in the right direction? All help will be much appreciated. (and if you live near Antwerp-Belgium I can buy you a beer to s…

  13. Hi Guys Please help. Re-installing FSX today. My installation of Acceleration stops halfway through with the following: Then I go to E:\FSX\Scenery\Cities\Reno\scenery and find the file: RENO_image.bgl. So it is there. I click retry and it says the same thing again. I can't go any further. Please help. Should be enjoying the PMDG 777 300 today; instead I am going mad trying to install FSX. Thanks Peter

    Just installed the Demo to see how it compares with my radar contact that I have installed. Installed with no issue, ran it for a minute or so to see if it any any issues and to see how it looked liked etc in the Sim. When I ran it the next time and when I clicked the map option I got the following error : Exception The remote Server returned error 404 not found We are sorry but we don't have imagery at this zoom level this region I have sent them a email regarding this issue but was wondering if any other users if any came across this problem? Another issue is that I cant seem to assign my joystick or keyboard buttons for the mic button …

  15. A friend of mine is unable to solve the following problem and I have run out of ideas myself: The 'black circle' surrounds the aircraft itself, even if it's position changes. FSX is in DX9 mode (HDEv2, NGX, Aerosoft EHAM, FTX Global+Vector, GSX, AES, IVAP) with settings similar to the AVSIM config guide, but with tweaks from the Venetubo tweak tool. No weird shader mod or other experimental modifications are applied. What can cause this strange issue? Is there a suitable solution? Thanks in advance! ^_^

    Good morning there! In the last time I have seen some offers from private simmers who want to sell ORBX software like FTX Global. In fact that are download products and I would really like to know if it is legal for me to buy one digital copy? Do ORBX allow that? Would be really good because it is a bit too expensive to buy it "new".

    One thing that is really bugging me about PFPX is the Aircraft database. I just spend some time going through my Aircraft.cfg's for my addons to add to PFPX (something by the way that really should be an automatic scan). Here is what I found. - PMDG weight are incorrect....are we supposed to change the DOW in PFPX? If the profile was setup by PFPX specifically for PMDG why are the weights wrong? - PMDG addon profiles for the -700 and -600 are just not there (although general 737-700 exist, but not with winglets). - Level D Sim 767 - Does not exist. On the general 767 you only see GE engines. What about my RR British Airways aircraft ? - Majestic Dash …

    Tired of graphic issues, spending more time tweaking that flying, stutters, having to trade eye candy for smoothness. My 4770k running at 4.5GHZ and gtx780 with an SSD for FSX surely helped but still... Loved some features of X-Plane 10 but missed a bunch more from FSX, and vicecersa. Theres no perfect flight simulation software as of 2014. I recently decided to sell my trackir 5, yoke and rudder pedals on ebay because it was just sitting there.. Perhaps I will be back one day if Microsoft truly decides to make a new Flight Simulation Program, (aka not another microsoft flight) I have heard some news about it, and I think nobody else can give us the best simulator.…

  19. So many differences between Vector and UTX... ....I'm sitting on a rolling landscape watching the cars perfectly follow the rolling terrain. Not sort of either climbing or descending such as was with UTX. The roads PERFECTLY match and cling to the differing terrain....and the cars are truly now in real-life motion. That is just one of the stark differences I am finding since having switched over about an hour ago from my UTX installation, to that of now...a Vector 1.15 install. I have set up Vector 1.15 such as I did for UTX...and have no loss in FPS. That is good news. More things happening....more accurate placement of objects, and even features showing up, t…

    I have tried out AISIDSTAR but was not satisfied and deleted it. After that I lost my AI-planes in almost the whole North America Area, but they are still in other world regions and i.e. Mexico and some parts of southern USA. I don't want to claim that it was triggered by AISIDSTAR and had also already contact to the author but he could not help me. But it is weird that the loss of AI is mostly identcal with the area which was covered by the new SID/STAR from the addon. It seems to me that the AI in this area now can't find the original Navdata from FSX. I'm not experienced enough to identify the files or data which are used by the default AI and ask for help to get m…

    Hi, I recently took the opportunity to fly a Level D 737-800 Simulator. Something that caught my interest inside was the instructor station, and in particular the positioning part of the setup such as 1nm final, 5nm final, 5nm base, 7nm downwind etc etc. Does anyone know of anyway to setup some sort of instructor station for use with FSX, on which you can position the aircraft like on the Level D sim? Thanks a lot in advance,
