Hello, Is it possible to turn on the runway lights at daytime? thanks

Dear all, May I check the current v2.1 of the Aerosoft A300 sold on either Aerosoft or Simmarket has the Engineer Panel fully in 3D (3D knobs) right? Because I saw photos of it on Aersoft, although V2.1, with a flat Engineer Panel. I also saw the SP2 release notes that Simcheck may drop the 3D panel if it affects frame rate. Just want to confirm for the purchase, as it is important for me to have Engineer Panel with 3D knobs. Thank you .

Not the whole programme of course, just parts of it!! ... My home PC has lots and lots of space, so no problem, but I spend a lot of time abroad (several months at a time, for work) and don't like not to have FS with me. A couple of years back my employer paid to have my stuff shipped out (PC included) but on the way back the air freight shipping jolted it enough to unseat various bits and pieces inside and I had to get it repaired, so I think I will leave it at home in future. . Next time I go abroad for several months (possibly soon), I am going to use one of my laptops solely for FS (a Dell XPS M1730: it runs FS9 well, not sure about FSX to be honest). However,…

Enable Bump Aircraft Option ... In cases where Live Camera is Disabled this new option will provide control over the Bump Aircraft turbulent 'aircraft' motions by allowing the DHM 3D accelerometer data to be used without any resulting dynamic head movements, in other words, without the Live Camera interface. The real world captured 3D accelerometer data and Live Weather Engine's supervision will be used to control all aircraft turbulent motions as it does with the DHM Effect when Live Camera is enabled. Some control over the general turbulence options, general turbulence scaling and Bump Aircraft scaling will be provided. The new Enable Bump Aircraft option will be…

Is there a way to completely eliminate the annoying message warning that the default GPS 500 flashes whenever you are approaching an airspace. I know that by repeated pressing the MSG button stops this,but I was wondering if it could be completely edited out of a .cfg file somehow.I've done multiple searching,but have come up empty. Any clues/help greatly appreciated...Thanks Skip D

I have both Dukes and I run them cold and dark for start up . Does any one here run Go-Flight modules? cause instead of looking down between the seats to turn on the fuel selector I'd like to assign them to a GO-Flight switch. There must be some thing different about these Dukes cause it's the same with the cowl flaps, on every other aircraft I can get them to open with my go-flight switches but not on the Dukes..Does any one here have the go-flight modules assigned to these switches?. I posted over on the Go-flight forum but in all my 10 plus years simming I've never seen such poor forum support service as they have. If your gonna tell me to go do it FCUIPC forget it c…

Looking for a good simulation of a turboprop i.e. one that doesnt use the FSX engine. I am not fussed about aircraft missions ,4 passengers or 80 passengers, short take off or long; but I am interested in high fidelity turboprop operations including failures. Thanks TIM

Hi All, Have been searching for an answer to this for a while but keep finding conflicting posts, i have a GTX 680 and would like to run FSX across dual identical monitors, can i just buy an identical monitor and plug it into the graphics card and it will work, or would i need a matrox dual head? Dont really want to part with £200 for another monitor if i then need to spend another £200 on the matrox. Sorry if its a boring question but im really struggling to find a straight answer. I'm looking to have the screen streched across the 2 monitors, not have seperate views etc Many thanks in advance Andy

Knowing that FSX runs better with a higher CPU freq, I was wondering what the optimum freq is, or is more just better, and how to best get there?

Looks like we might be closer then ever. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=atG-zkWTBXg

I've gotten ok at descent with the airbus extended, my problem now is getting low enough in time to capture the localizer, I never seem to descend fast enough at the last part of the flight, am I turning on approach phase too early? Does that change how you descend? By the way I also use RC4, if that means anything.

so which is better?

http://www.change.org/en-CA/petitions/microsoft-rehire-aces-studios-and-resume-work-on-flight-simulator-11 :yahoo: :clapping: To: Steve Ballmer, Microsoft 7 years ago, Microsoft released Flight Simulator 10, what would be the final installment in the series. In 2009, Microsoft laid off ACES studios, thus, work on Flight Simulator 11 was cancelled. Many fans of the series cried out in agony as their favorite flight simulator was thrown in the garbage. Although a successor to Flight Simulator X came out last, it alienated many of the fans that came to love the series. Soon, work on that was also cancelled after six months. Since it followed a DLC model, you wo…

Can somebody tell me why I can't seem to download sweetfx? 3DGuru site, windows keeps telling it doesn't know what program to open it in. Cheers Rod.

I've been experimenting with the pseudo full screen script available in the AVSIM library so that I can run in windowed mode but hide the annoying bars. The problem is that it rarely works in FSX (nothing happens when I press the win-f11 key combo). It works fine in all other programs I've tried, just not FSX. Any ideas? I'm running Windows 8.

As part of my round the world trip to discover FTXG, my last leg was Greenland to Canada, landing at CYAY. On arrival, I was a bit suprised to see a busy parking area, huts with smoke, cars and a hanger with 2 wrecked aircraft, just behind the door is a cub upside down. So do I have some additional scenery here that I can´t remember installing, is it part of something Orbx, although I doubt it, and can I expect more airfields like this on the Canadian East coast?

Hi guys I did something silly- I attempted to run FSX after installing only about half of the Megascenery Earth "Florida" files (I ran out of space on my HD; I know, silly). At any rate, FSX would not start- it just hangs on the splash screen. I even renamed FSX.cfg and nothing still. Also, it did say that it was updating my scenery files, both when after running the first time of the partial install and after removing them. And, as maybe a last ditch effort to save a tiny bit of face, I figured that maybe all the files would not be needed to fly the sim, thinking (assuming) that each file would only affect a certain portion of the state. At any rate, FSX wont sta…

Can anyone tell me what I have to do to be able to access the official Majestic forums? I've applied twice and haven't heard anything.

For those that are interested, you get Gdansk, Katowice, Rzeszow and Lublin. Further details here: http://www.drzewiecki-design.net/prodPAv1_X.htm

Hello, I have about 20 hours in real world tailwheel aircraft and I'm wondering if you guys here have any opinions as to which available add-ons for FSX or P3D that most accurately simulate the characteristics and physics of a real tailwheel type plane? The default Piper Cub in both FSX/P3D has all the physics of a tailwheel aircraft (it will readily ground loop and requires careful rudder use), but everything in this regard is greatly over-exaggerated and it does not behave realistically to be honest. I also own the very good A2A Piper Cub with Accusim, and although it flies quite realistically in the air, it is far too stable on the ground compared to the…

Hi! Have looked and wondered about trying the SweetFX addon as a replacement for ENB. I do not have ENB installed at the moment (yes, all files left from ENB is removed). Downloaded SweetFX 1.4, unzipped it and put all the file in my FSX and keeping the file structure of the folder i downloaded. The sim loaded perfectly, but I did not see any difference in my sim. Pushed Scroll Lock to deactivate it, but it were absolutely no difference unfortunately. Here is the log I got from SweetFX, and it shows me that there is clearly something wrong, but I do not have a clue what it can be. full path: C:\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\ redirecting CreateD…

Hello I installed SweetFX in FSX but seems that this program does not changed anything. SweetFX log says this message: full path: C:\FSX\ redirecting CreateDevice initialising shader environment device->GetBackBuffer failed redirecting CreateDevice initialising shader environment redirecting device->Reset initialising shader environment If it helps I am running FSX with Processor: Intel® Core i5-3330 CPU @ 3.00GHz Core speed: ~2993 MHz, NVidea GForce Experience , driver it is updated. I am intrigued with "device->GetBackBuffer failed" message error. Is there any cure for that? Thank you.

I think the PMDG B747 has the best engine sounds compared to any other plane in my hangar (except maybe the SimCheck A300B4.) I really love these two planes just because of how spectacular they sound and feel taking off. What addons have powerful sound immersion for you?

Anyone using the VRInsight EFISMCP/Comm with the Flight1 B200 yet? I know it doesn't have a LINDA module yet but wondering how it's going. Gregg

Hey guys, I just bought the 757 by Captain Sim, and i just want to do a quick test flight before i start going through the manuals. But how do i change the screens on the attached image to the artificial horizon and speed screen, if i can call it that Been trying for a couple of hours without luck
