Ok I have been jumping through flaming hoops trying to figure out how to get AI traffic in multiplayer. I see about 50 different things people are telling me to do to get this to work. As I track down each of these things, I find out none of them actually put AI traffic into multiplayer. I did find a thread that had a lot of people trying to remove AI Aircraft from multiplayer, because someone else injected them, but no one actually explained how to put them in. If it is not to much to ask, can any of you simplify the steps needed to get AI in Multiplayer. It is just me and a friend doing this, so I am not going to use this info to clutter up someones server. Any help wou…

Was wondering if any simmer out there has tried that new OFX Simulations - USA Mega Mesh for FSX? If so, any spikes, holes, airport platforms or valleys? Pretty impressive price for the entire USA at 5m but could not detect much difference between my 38m and this. thx, Clutch

Earlier today I installed FSX SDK from my deluxe edition FSX. Then I installed FSX SDK1a and FSX SDK2. Now my fsx will not load. It is stuck on the splash screen. I have tried registry editor, changing my logbook name, but nothing works. Any help?

How do I stop the display driver from being displayed twice in the cfg file? It only seems to happen in dx10 so if I delete it and reboot fsx it just come's back again so how can I stop it from displaying twice? Thanks.

Hi, Just did a short flight from Limoges to Liverpool. I have UTX & GEX installed, and also use REX. Noticed that there appears to be a new, very square island near the Isle of Wight! Is there a way to get rid of it? I know in the past I had a similar issue with coastline but in Italy and was asked to run the UTX setup tool - I have tried doing that again and still have same problem. Thanks for any help, Rich

Hey all, Lumberjack tweak: This tweak dates back a good few years. It removes trees from the thresholds of all FSX default airports - so you do not have to dive down to the runway after clearing the trees. Does anyone still use it and does it work ok with modern add-ons? Does it play nicely with add on airports for example and if so, where should it sit in the Scenery Library (priority)? Terrain.cfg mod by Mr Ludowise and Mr Tirado [and subsequently tweaked further by Nick N] Came across this when reviewing a tweak guide from Nick N. Appears to correct mainly water issues in rivers. Is this a tweak a lot of people are using? Oh to have all these tweaks in on…

PLEEEZ HELP

I was wondering. Is it possible to create a program that changes the state of ai aircraft? Lets say an aircraft is enroute and you want its state to be anything like approach, final, taxi in, sleep etc. If this can be done, there is a program that could benefit greatly from this. AISIDSTARS is a program that allows ai to follow SIDs and STARs procedures as well as approaches. The only thing I see that it needs help in is the ability to tell fsx what state the ai should be in so that the ai can taxi after landing. Currently, the ai would be stuck on the runway after landing because fsx says that the plane is still enroute or on approach. Due to the nature of AISIDSTARS, it…

Hello, and greetings from Christchurch, NZ, Has anyone installed and got this to work? Even with advice from Apollo Software, I cannot get it to work either from the desktop shortcut, or within the addons menu in FSX. Apollo are giving a good response to my problems, but no resolve unfortunately. This post is just to find out if anyone else has had a problem, and how they resolved it. All contributions are warmly welcomed. Thanks, and kind regards, Pat

Microsoft created the FSX sandbox, and invited the following to come play in it: ORBX/FTX: 1. FTX-Global world textures and Custom regions and landclass 2. The newly released FTX Global Lights Control program 3. All custom airports, to purchase, and as well, free-to-download John's company and its most talented artists and programmers have absolutely hand's down, transformed the entire world into way beyond 'plausible belief'. The final, and missing part of customization was delivered with the FTX Global Lights Control program. What prompted this entire post was a dusk to night transition flight with all lights set to SMALL, and light intensity set to Low.…

Is there a new United repaint anyplace for the First Step B777?

hi all, having issues currently with my cfg file in fsx not loading my orbx textures as quickly as i want. Were talking 5/10 seconds after the things paused. apart from this the things runs smoother than ever. ~20fps at egll on uk 2000 with pmdg 777 on the settings below. [email protected] hd7950 16gb corsair ram orbx and rex installed framerate internally locked to 30fps and aa through amd control centre I got it tweaked by a very knowledgable guy and i`ve put the cfg file below. i`m guessing the FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.01 could be hurting my texture loading, but my question is, is there anything else you`d reccomend me doing to try and keep it as much…

Hi I've seen some discussion on editing the aircraft configuration file in fsx to change the viewpoint permanently. I've also learned that it takes trial and error to get the point you are looking for. Is there a place were the eyepoint coordinates are stored when you use the "shift-backspace" and other shortcut keys to temporarily change the viewpoint? My thing is that i will use the shortcut keys to get the exact viewpoint I want in the VC and then if that information is stored somewhere I can copy it and then paste it into the aircraft cfg file. I'm sure there is a short coming to this theory since it's so simple that someone else would have figured it out by now, b…

Hello. Today I bought the Just Flight / CLS 767-200/300 with expansion on Just Flight. I cannot seem to find the easy flight model anywhere. Could someone please tell me where it it? THe reason I need it is because when landing, I am flying at 145 kts (as said by FMC) and when I get to 50 ft and I begin to flare, the plane does not and instead "slams" into the ground ar around -1500FPM. How the hell can I land this plane please? I even try flying faster than the given speed, to around 160KTS, with same result. If I try to flare earlier than 50FT to compensate for the slow rising nose, the plane takes off again! I have wasted several hours on this cr@p flying fine, and l…

My FSX froze climbing out of thick fog in a go around situation just there. Not sure what caused it, but it wasn't a CTD, the program remained open with a "not responding" status. I was flying the NGX out of Geneva in thick fog on a go-around and the only warning I had was the FMC began to not respond to my attempts to "clear" the scratchpad of the "UNABLE 180KT AT XXXX". It just wouldn't clear. Everything else was responding at the time. The only other oddity was the fog (default weather no addons for texture etc) seemed to be a line across the threshold where I could see the lead in lights then bang on the threshold the fog was almost like a line you couldn't se…

Guys, how do you prevent FSX from pausing when toggling between simulation rates of 8x or greater and 4x or slower. I just had to re-load everything on a new computer and I don't recall how I did that. Thanks. Brad

hi there I use FSUIPC to assign flight control axes, including rudder (I do this because i built my own rudder set from a cheap scrap joystick, repurposing the xyz axes into rudder and progressive differential toe brakes - the assignement is a doddle in FSUIPC but a real pain in FSX) . All axes are disabled in FSX. FSX clearly thinks I have no rudder and keeps cluttering my screen with "helpful" tips re: having a rudder axis or turning on auto rudder. This is while I am flying with great rudder control (through FSUIPC). Does anyone know how I can turn this behavior off? Cheers houndini

Hi all, I have recently started using FSX after upgrading from FS9. I am flying the default 737 with virtual cockpit but dont like the view. If I want to look out the left window I press 4 on the num pad, but instead of looking immediately left it scrolls left (like using the hat on joystick) Is it possible to make it look immediately left instead of scrolling? I have tried the view settings but nothing seems to work? Also, its quite distracting that when you pull up or bank your viewpoint moves with the plane instead of holding the fixed point. Can this be turned off? Jay

Hello I am thinking about purchasing the TSS audio environment airliner edition to improve the sounds for fsx, I have just upgraded my system and have noticed that it mentions problems with onboard sound? My motherboard is a Gigabyte Z87-HD3 which I think has onboard hi defintion sound, will this be good enough or will I need to purchase a soundcard? Kind regards Darran

Hi everyone, Does anyone know of any freeware scenery packages that include static ships for major harbors? The two ship-filled harbors that most strike me as crying out for a plethora of anchored ships to make them look more real on approach are Singapore and Istanbul, but I'm sure there are others. I noticed that Henrik Nielsen did release a "proof of concept" initial package that had some ships in the Rio de Janeiro harbor, but I haven't found anything else. Is there anything else out there? I'd do it myself but I'm lacking in both time and technical skills at present... James

so after months of trying and months of searching on many boards, i decided to write here.. Problem: basicaly, situation, flying in altitude (30 000ft) and if you swich to external view and look around, you will see blured terain. but under your plane its sharp and very nice. In some screenshots i see that some people dont have this issue (or photoshop?) so.. here is picture only thing that will remove the blurynes from FSX is MIPBIAS. but well.. then its a bit.. well.. weird? i tried almost everything but never solved this one.. here is my fsx.cfg http://pastebin.com/C6vn0g48 yeah, and i tried to delete and create new fsx.cfg and it didnt helped (same as fu…

Hello everybody. Well, i've played fsx for many years now, but I recently started to mod my fsx (better than never) and i downloaded the afcad Dubai World Central - Al maktoum Airport. The creator says he tested it with Custom traffic and AI traffic, but i can't seem to do it... I've tried with AI traffic planner but when I'm done with the flightplans nothing happens!!! Could any of you try to do it with the Add-on? http://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/21022/fsx-afcad-file-for-omdw/%C2'> Or at least try to guide me through the "AI traffic creation on a new airport in fsx" problem i have? I know this is much to ask for, but I'll appreciate it so mu…

Hi, I purchased FSX a while back and have had to reinstall it. Upon reinstalling it, I have discovered that the product key is missing. I have the discs and part numbers to prove I purchased it. I have tried contacting Microsoft and after being thrown around between different people I was given an email address that doesn't work. Does anyone know how to get another product key?
