I just noticed today that no matter what aircraft I us, the throttle goes to full. I have recalibrated my throttle quad and don't use fsuipc. when I close the throttle with either a key sroke or throttle quad, it just goes right back up. Could something spontaneously changed in the fsx,.cfg? thx lee

I have been combing the inter-nets in search of good reference/tutorial materials on the Carenado C90B. I have found half a dozen posts that speak of an amazing fabled tutorial authored by the "legendary" Kurt Kalbfleisch (aka Yoda?) - so fabled that bards sing of it, and maids weep over its beautiful magnificence. All have hailed it as the Dead Sea Scroll for all things KingAir, and speak of it as though every common man has heard and knows its whispers, but nobody has ever produced a solid reference or a link to this great tome. If anybody knows the whereabouts of this legendary artifact, would you be so kind as to hand me a Staff of Ra that will point me to its hid…

As the topic suggests I got this Runtime error 216 at the very end of installing FSGUX Europe-Africa. Anyone else seen this? This is what the error looked like

Was flying some circuits at ORBX YSTW last night recreating some of my real world flights from when I was there. At dusk the landing lights on the AI CT-4's looked like big GIANT blobs in the distance. Since this is a reasonably fresh FSX install I'd forgotten about this issue and have just been reading up how to resolve it since I couldn't remember what I did last time to try and remedy this. Anyway in my course of reading I found that A2A 3D Lights Redux may be the best solution as the other freely availably remedies tend to have a negative impact on other lights. It also looks like it might be a pretty neat addition to some of the aircraft I fly. Ev…

I have V3.21.0 after landing at end of flight I replay the approach and landing to the sim pause. I then unpause and taxi in, The loading grib data screens come on again and the slide show starts is this a bug?

I have recently moved and misplaced my original Microsoft Flight Simulator x and Acceleration disks. So I have also added a much larger hard drive and put all flight simulator files on it. Now Microsoft wants to invoke product activation. I purchased Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Gold Edition to get around the issue but the problem now is: Microsoft Flight Simulator Gold Acceleration error code: 1-80004005 unexpected error preventing product activation from being completed now how to activate Microsoft Games for Windows? I need help as no activation screen appears. I have tried the repair by putting the disk back in the drive and running repair three times, it seems to…

I just setup a new Headset/Mic combo for online and other voice controlled software and decided to try it out in FSX, it worked great and was awesome controlling the views and several keys by voice.

Hi all, I'm still enjoying FSX in dx10 mode. It's amazing! Anyways, I am gonna start looking for an add on that will allow me to sort of track and progress through tiers whilst learning? Like carrying cargo or passengers? What's the best in this category? I've found a few but I'm still lost! I find the missions built in pretty good, so something similar would be good! Cheers Ian

Hello! I've seen some other posts on this matter, although none that I have seen have fully answered the question, or mine specifically. Basically, the real world weather (updating every fifteen minutes) isn't real time, or any time. When flying at the same time it was in the RW in FSX, the altimeter, winds, etc... were all off (having checked with PFPX, Jeppesen and one other website for the METAR). It makes it difficult to plan for weather when I can't access the mystery FSX weather outside of the sim. Does anyone know how to fix this? Perhaps in the settings somehow? Or can I export the PFPX weather? Thanks! -Derek

Is there any way to eliminate or reduce the LOD used in the airport/runway/taxiway lights? I think that the effect is a little distracting when descending for a landing (where the lights in the other end of the runway are fewer), and that taxiway lights appear only when you get close to the airport. I'd prefer to have lights from all airports showing when in the air (more realistic and I don't think the FPS impact will be that big). I took a screenshot and added some faint red lines to show what I mean. The red lines are where the LOD is applied and reduces the amount of lights: http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/7290/ls8o.jpg

Just bought Narita FSX as I have been waiting for this airport for a while as I have the excellent FS9 version from Overland. Like others I think the price is one the high side as it is only for FSX. ( This seems a trend these days with airport developers.) However when I am at the airport it takes a long time to load the textures which results in black & white areas. See attachment. Have this issue ( usually only white textures ) at a couple of much larger airports but these textures disappear after a couple of seconds unlike at Narita. The normal couple of seconds up-load is probably due to my virus scanner. Have a very good computer. …

I un-installed then re-installed FSX. I thought I had cleaned everything up prior to the re-install , but apparently not. When I go to start FSX I get a total of 26 pop ups that I have to click on before FSX can start . A typical pop up looks like this : Scenry.CFG File Error Local Scenry Directory ( ORBX \FTX _ NA \ FTX _ AA 7WA3 \ Scenry ) in scenry area .131 not found. Click ok to continue. These are all scenry related , they number from 116 to 141. After all are clicked , then FSX starts up. How do I eliminate these pop ups, where do I look ? Thanks

Hi everyone! I'm looking for good civil commercial plane add on. I have FSX, but I have Windows 8, and that makes things alot more more difficult. What are the best commercial plane add ons for FSX that work on Windows 8. If you recommed me something, it would be nice that you really know it works or its installer works on Windows 8. I will appreciate your replys!

Bonjour, I looking for an addon or scenery (FSX) which most reliable for VFR flying in Québec (Canada). In the other words I need an addon or scenery which is most relative for VFR navigation chart. It means that FSX should include at least all objects according VFR charts. Recently I tested Flight1 - Ultimate Terrain X: Canada (Scene) in general it is OK, according lakes, rivers it great. But surprisely, for example, during flight I didn't find wind farm fields according my waypoints. Also in comparing with Google earth the Ultimate Terrain X somethimes includes an small villages, objects (homes, buildings). In some cases the Ultimate Terrain has not big objects li…

Not that I'm a simmer that aims for a greasers all the time, but... Is such a thing possible in V2? The reason I ask, is that even with the touchdown bump effect right down at 10%, it doesn't seem to make much difference to the bump sound on touchdown. Even with a super gentle greaser touchdown, I still get quite a loud thud. Doesn't matter how gentle I land. This, in the video below should be feasible shouldn't it, no thud at all... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bf1OIY8HTnA

Hi all, I'm new to AVSIM, but not MSFS, so forgive any errors in my forum edicate. :blush: What, I'm facing here is NOT your average frame rate issue. I've read and read and read about people having problems keeping their frame rates above 30, but a huge percent of those are old, outdated forum posts where the user was still using a sub-3GHz CPU and only 2GB of RAM on a not-so-high-perfomance motherboard. I understand FSX is highly CPU intensive, and seems to have a nasty habit of 'ignoring' your video adapter's graphical processing capabilities. I'm estranged that it doesn't call on the processing power of CUDA in nVidia GPUs, since 'traditional' processing is s…

Cataract surgery!! Simply amazing!!

Hey guys I am looking for a good shared cockpit add-on. I would prefer nothing too complex, as I want to learn the other aspects of flying before a friend and I tackle NGX level ac. Any recommendations?

I have discovered, (and mentioned on at least five other threads) that you can achieve full maxed out 30 FPS sustainable FSX performance, with every feature to do with rendering the scene as 'on', and at 75 percent to 100 percent settings, whatever....and have absolutely no CTD's and OOM issues of any kind, no matter HOW LONG your FSX session entails. It is about SOFTWARE...and not merely hardware produced over the last 4 years. I have a rock-solid, FSX, maxed out as to what ACES. saw their product could achieve and was coded in to render, and without taking away, or adding to my present hardware spec's did this SOLELY by means of software. That tells me that I h…

This will probably get moved to the Orbx forum, but this forum seems to get the most responses and readings. Ok, just finished a 4 day real world flight sequence. We went from East coast-West coast-East coast-home (KDAL) I fly PM trips, so approx. 80% is at night. All the cities we flew over, you could see orange colored lights and white-bluish lights. No Yellow, till low on approach. So, regardless of what has been said re photos,settings of such etal. At least in the US the city light colors are the UTX orange color...not the FSXG yellow. That said, I noticed some folders in the FSXG/scripts stuff. Lights being one of them. Within those are some *.fx fil…

Anyone know whats going on? Suddenly I see this The only thing I did was install the Orbx AU Blue scneery..but I set NA in the ftx central Whole bunch of autogen in the middle of the ocean

Not sure which is giving this problem but when I toggle pause on and off my view will change a bit (see pics below ) I set my view ezdok by pressing 2 adjusting it then press 2 again just like usual. Then when I toggle pause off so I can look around my view will jump up higher and closer to the dash. It used to be that when I hit pause it would just stop my view right where it was. It used to just smoothly stop and start when I toggled on and off. Not sure if I change something by accident any thoughts appreciated. PS I have precision on.

I was intially trying to tinker with my AI aircraft lighting to minimise the "blob" effect of the landing lights which I am now satisfied with. However in the course of doing this I decided to tinker with the "spotlight.bmp" texture file which alters the brightness of the landing lights beam on the ground, to choose which effect I like best. No matter what spotlight.bmp file I drop in though there is NO change to what is displayed in the sim. I was using the different textures available in REX as well as the default and used default aircraft and the Carenado C152. This has got me stumped! My install is this and nothing more: FSX + Acceleration, FTX Glo…

I have tried everything.......every possible tweak of FXG.cfg.....GPU settings...DX10 and no DX10......Default FSX.cfg..DX10 Fixes....Driver updates/downgrades......I gave GEX, REX, UTX, ASE2012. Ive also done the shader mod. Nothing fixes my tearing issue. Also i have done bios stuff like enabling HT on and off.....ive done 1000 affinity mask tweaks also... Any ideas?
