MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum

Hi all, My love of aviation has meant that I have finally made the plunge into the world of fsx (i'm not sure my wife or kids fully understand the consequences of this yet). Having owned fsx acceleration for a few days now I have started my long journey of learning. The main area I really need help with is addons especially scenery and AI traffic as these are the areas I wish to improve first I have a high spec pc so no worries with regards to running. I have done some serious research and watched loads of youtube videos etc but find myself more confused than I was before due to the amount available. To start with I would like to make the U.K as realistic …

Does anyone know where I can find a repaint of Virgin Atlantic (Not America) for the Aerosoft A320 X Extended? I found one in the Aerosoft file library but when you try to download, it says the file doesn't exist http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/67116-new-file-uploaded-to-airbus-x-extended-liveries-virgin-atlantic-ei-deo/ I would greatly appreciate any help. Many thanks

Hi just wondering if this lighting is correct in a full moon night. Can you see the water like that and those reflections in a real full moon night? thx

Ok I now know how to get FSX running pretty smooth except for Ezdok which continues to be my only issue. It was suggested to me to uninstall FSX and then re-install everything and that might get EZdok to work. My question is how complicated is it to uninstall FSX and what should I do with the add-ons that I have? Also if I do decide to do this what folder should I install FSX to? That was another thought of mine that maybe because FSX is in the x86 folder that might be causing problems as well.

What's the difference between texture_max_load in Graphics and the texture_max_load in display section? I have 1024 in Graphics and 4096 in display section. Someone who can help m?

I tried to get on the Forum yesterday mourning and there was a notice that they were working on the web page to make it better. That they will be back in a few minutes. Well they're still off line. I have an issue that needs to be resolved. I hope they're coming back.

Hi Everyone, Just recently purchased the HOTAS Warthog and did a fresh and clean installation of FSX + Opus + AA2012 + REX OD however when i tried to program my hotas to the cockpit views from the camera control option, my joystick was not recgonised on Opus's camera option. It still sticks to the previous joystick which i used which was the Saitex X52pro. Is there anything i could do? Please assist!! Regards and Thank you in Advance Gizmo

Really interested in the freeware scenery that looks great for Belgium. Found http://vfr.fs9.org/home which looks exactly what I want but all the downloads are pointing to the now dead megaupload site. Anyone have other links for this download?

I don't know where to begin... Lets see... I have always been a DX9 flyer until now. But with the DX10 Fixer, it seems I'm now a DX10 flyer. I absolutely love DX10 with bloom. First thing to notice was the black squares in FTX Global gone. And FTX Global is such a huge improvement that it's a MUST for everyone, like a new simulator. I also got the 737NGX, steep learning, but so rewarding. And the last few days, I have been introduced to the Twin Otter, really fun aircraft. I Of course have REX and weather software... Now I'm looking at the A2A 172, afraid that I can't go back to my Carenados if I get that one ;-) FSX starts to shine, thanks to all developers …

Feature List Photo-real layout and textures (30cm resolution within airport boundries and 60cm resolution outside the boundries). High-res ground polygon. Hand placed hi-res buildings within airport boundries. Extensive library of airport clutter. Accurate taxiway lanes. Custom made static aircraft. Custom night-lighting and improved runway lights. 3D grass. Compatible with Default, Orbx and MegaSceneryEarth. DX10 compatible.

Flying the A2A 172 on pilotedge. Anybody interested in getting a RW PPL or RW instrument rating should try pilotedge. I just finished the 2 week trial and I am hooked and don't think I can fly without it now. Great way to practice radio work and flight planning, I have learned quite a bit so far.

I just used this:- Www.venetubo.com/fsx.html I'm outstanded! I'm now super smooth in fsx! I don't know what setting did it, but thanks to whoever created that site. A-amazing! Ian I5 4670k@4ghz 16gb vengeance ram. Gtx 770 4gb

Hey all, It's been a while since I pulled out the Q400 for a spin, and I've just powered up the bird only to find there's not response on my aileron movements. I've checked hyd pressures and everything, everything else seems to work (ie tiller, elevators, flaps etc) and only the ailerons don't work. I've checked against my MJC8 control panel, FLIGHT CONTROLS page and the ailerons do seemed to be registering. However, I go back in the sim and saw when I move the ailerons, somehow my throttles are moving; one up one down. So it seems like my joystick aileron axis is driving the throttles in some strange ways. Has anyone encountered this before or knows where to find/how…

Ok reading a tweaking guide felt quite overwhelming so I am hoping perhaps I can get a paired down list of what are the super important ones that I must have. The ones that I have done are the highmemfix, bufferpools, I know the affinitymask is a big one but I can't figure out how to compute that for 6 cores. Not really sure what it even does. Aside from those are there any major ones that are must haves? I thought about just buying a FSX config booster type thing that I read about but I dunno if they are worth it or not. Of course the reviews say they are amazing and everything but I dunno. I feel like I have this computer but yet I have basically zero …

I am flying the PMDG 737 NGX, and I am having a problem turning off crash detection. I set it in the settings screen, but it resets when I start the flight. I have tried to save the profile and load it from the flight screen to no effect. What do I need to do to turn it off?

There was a utility released a while back the one could use to increase AI taxi speed in FSX. Does anyone remember what it was called? Thanks in advance

Anyone know how to load previously created flightplans into the fms?

I love to fly mid-size turboprops in FSX. This kind of one-hour hops are so much more interesting than 4-hour flights in the NGX, no matter how well-designed it is. Just wondering, if I have missed any high-quality turboprops I should try? I'm always intersted in expanding my virtual hangar! ^_^ I have these already: Majestic Dash8 PMDG J41 Rick Piper's freeware BAe 748 (rather good, try it!) Carenado B200 (a bit too small for my taste, though) Any more I should try? Right now I'm really, really looking forward for the Metroliner! :lol:

How long is pax loading on various planes in real life, presuming full capacity? For example, A321 is loaded with 186 pax after circa 9 minutes via FSCaptain. Is this loading time realistic? Also does the 747 or A380 will load practically 3 times faster due to 3 active jetways, instead of 1 active with A320/321/757/737, etc? Where I can find some info about it, couldn't find it on google. Not strictly FSX related, I just want to make loading times more realistic in FSCaptain. Thanks in advance!

Hi... I'm looking for help to resolve a strange wave animation issue I'm experiencing. The wave animation is working - however after every 25-30 seconds it will 'jump'. By 'jump' I mean that the animation seems to skip a number of frames, or reset, or perhaps the textures are being repositioned. I don't know. It's difficult to describe so I've uploaded this video to youtube: You will see that at around 24 seconds the 'jump' that I refer to. If you watch the clouds at around the same point you'll see that they move perfectly smoothly without any form of jump or stutter so there is no issue with the sim itself in regards to performace/glitching/stuttering and the …

Hello, I have a small provlem with the Virtavia F-22 plane. I was flying from LOWS to ESSA. At LOWS i set my gps to DIRECT TO to ESSA. After takeoff, I started my AP put it into GPS mode. Instead of HDG I pressed the CRS button hoping it would follow the direct path that the GPS gave me, but the plane did not follow it at all, it deviated quite a lot. I thought something was weird, so I got on that path manually using the HDG button and followed it for some time. Then I thought maybe it was just a fluke, so I engaged the CRS button again, but the plane again deviated from the flightpath that the gps gave me. So I have no idea what did I do wrong? How do I get …

The other day at my home base, real weather was raining. Opus depicted it very well. The tarmac showed water reflection. Today, I went to TNCM and it was raining. The tarmac was dry. No water reflections. I would like to know how FSX determines (or Opus, if that is the case) when the tarmac shows water reflections, or not. Thanks Chris

SIM720 is pleased to present EGCK Caernarfon Airport Ever flown into an airport with a Wind Farm (two 152 ft turbines) 30 metres from the runway edge? Well, now you will get your chance because that’s what someone has built on the Caernarfon Airport. And if that is not enough the airport is located in the heart of Snowdonia with Mount Snowden just a few minutes away. True to the promise, the product has been designed to be highly compatible including photoreal blending with Default, Orbx and Horizon. It’s also DX10 compatible.

I've done a bit of digging around and can't find anything so am asking here. I've got a lot of add on airports both freeware and payware and what I'd like to do is map those onto Google Earth, if only to be able to help with planning flights. Does anyone know of an existing utility that can scan ones add on scenery and produce a KML/KMZ file one can import into Google Earth? Any help is appreciated in advance.

I had a misshap uninstalling an addon in FSX and I deleted some files this addon had created. It was the Fs9 PMDG737NG. I have had it working but decided to uninstall it,as it didn't always Work right.I used the uninstaller provided in the CD. Then I went and deleted all the files that contained the planes. When I went to start FSX it wouldn't start saying Dem4km.bgl file was missing or damaged. Then I Googled what this file was and found it was in the in the Scenery\Base Scenery Folder.First I tried a system restore,...That didn't help as the scenery folder was not present for some reason??? I copied the Whole Scenery folder from a copy of FSX I have in an Exter…
