I am starting to use my X52 flight control system again for my fighter jets and helicopters. I am wondering if anybody has a mapping for helicopters and fighter jets. I have contacted VRS for the bug but I am wondering about other military jets like the T-45 Goshawk. The joystick has the twist for rudder control but I have a saitek pro flight system with the yoke and rudder pedals, etc. So I use the rudder pedals for rudder control. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I forgot to mention that I use FSUPIC. I have heard about the saitek profiles but I use the the joystick for my helo ops as well. So my buttons and axises are through FSUIPC. Thanks. I noticed th…

Hello guys! I`ve to say that Opusfsx (in my case OpusP3D) is an absolute amazing wheater engine! For me it is even better than AS2012, which is kind of crazy, cause Opus is way younger than AS. My only question is, if it`s possible to get an average enroute wind? In AS2012 you can enter the routing and the cruising ALT and it`ll give you the average wind heading and speed. Would be great if this feature could be included someday, it would be enough to have the ability to enter the dep&arr airport and the cruising level, so you get a average prediction! Especially on longhaulers it`s important to have a overview so you can plan your fuel more accurate …

I am looking at and will likely get OPUS. I am a happy EZCA user that also owns Accufeel 2.0 which I have fallen in love with. So obviously in EZCA I am able to create Cameras and position them in real time visually and save them and so on... In OPUS... Sorry I know some will say... RTM!!!!! But I am at work and only have a minute.... 1. Can I move my camera around in real time, tilt and rotate the view, move forwards and back and up and down smoothly and then lock that position in place for that camera? I do this in EZCA on new planes for the pilot view while I am taxiing to get that... "Chair is now in the right spot and I can see properly" ZEN I get with EZCA. …

I posted this up in FSX forum and it got me thinking it might be worth putting it here to the experts to see if it can be done in a future update. 'Software that would enable greater cloud drawing distance once above a certain specified altitude. Smaller drawing distance on ground & low altitude as frames are needed and not as much cloud cover required then once above ,say 15000 feet ( users choice) clouds build further out as frames are better higher up thus giving us clouds as far as the eye can see.' Reverting back to smaller draw distance on descent of course. Can it be done?

Hi, I'm not sure if there is something more I can do to try to get rid of the sudden wind shifts. I've set FSUIPC for wind smoothing 1 knot per sec but it seems to have no effect. Is there anything else to try or is this problem the same as the weather smoothing problem that many post about that is being worked on? No regrets with this purchase; the sense of speed through the clouds and IFR conditions have brought new excitement for this sim. Thanks, Matt

Would someone kindly point me to the location of the Opus 737 camera template, thank you in advance.

Hi! I really love to gather liveries of every countries' airplanes. Currently I am need of PIA 747 Livery for Default 747 in FSX. I am attaching the image which one I need. If someone have it, please share it with me. Thanks!

Ok this is a weird anomaly. The stupid tooltips bar keeps showing up and wont go away even though it is unticked in options. I then tried disabling directly in fsx.cfg but its already 0 or false. I then enabled it, exited fsx and back in and disabled and exit and in , and its still there!! Not too mention it keeps telling me that my fuel is critically low in selected tank. This is an FSX toolbar msg. The aircraft has 100k lbs of fuel. Searching the forum brings up threads who cant get their tooltips to work. Well I need mine to be gone. If anyone knows of a solution it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Need to enter some consumption figures.. Manual lists Fuel Consumption (Idle Power) 1100 kgs/hr (302 Gallons/hr) Fuel Consumption (Full Power) 10500 kgs/hr (2885 Gallons/hr) Fuel Consumption (Full Re-heated power) 22500 kgs/hr (6180 Gallons/hr) What figure should I put into Air Hauler?

Hello all,i have a serious lag problem with FSX in to a nice pc, when i start a flight it's ok, nice fps, but after a while i have 2 problems, one is the drop of fps slowly, in the cruce level not much, but when i'm approaching to the zone of destination, the fps drop considerably and i tested same position with a recently restarted pc and fps are ok and estable, second problem is when im on the cruce level or few minutes flying, not at the start, when i look around, the fps drop down horrible, but if i not move the camera, fps are very good, i find thats could be a sound problem because if i press "q" and deactivate all the sound, the fps when i looking around are very g…

I have a problem with my FSX water textures. When set on 2X MAX (Using Rex EssentialPlus), there are flickering trees that appear in the water, and the cloud textures stretch right to the side from one point to the edge of the screen. The cloud reflections just get pulled into the side. I have another problem, that might be related to this. I have the nVidia graphics card, but FSX sees it as an Intel one. Any help/suggestions? Thanks!

I had a disappearing texture problem ( 3D virtual Cockpit only) on my old computer, when the scenery transitioned from dusk to night, while flying a complex aircraft like the PMDG 747. By disappearing, I mean that about 1/3 of the 3D panel goes transparent. The 2D panel and the outside aircraft views are not affected. I just got a new machine (specs listed below by signature), and its still happening. I installed both HIGHMEMFIX and the UI AutomationCore fix. Things were OK for one flight and now the problem is back. If I change the time of day back to "daytime" the textures go back to normal. This is incredibly frustrating to say the least! Are there any additional th…

Hi everyone, just wanted to see if I was doing something wrong. I have FS RealTime (registered copy and installed and run as admin) installed with the timezone package that came with it but I still have some issues. Best examples I can give are SFO one hour behind LAX and DFW one hour behind ORD. If anyone has a suggestion, I'd be happy to try.

I'm using FSPax only but just discovered X-PAX from the other recent post. Preferences if you've tried both? If you have a moment comment as to why you voted as you did. Thanks in advance

Hi all, Instead of buying an ipad I'm leaning towards getting a Microsoft Surface Pro. To use it like an ipad I guess I'll have to get Wideview and run it as another monitor (ie put the CDU on it)?

Dear all, I have noticed ever since I got FSX that fellow a/c on the taxiways keep a distance to my own plane as if I had the plague. It doesn't matter which aircraft I'm using, be it A320-series, A380 or EMB-190. It's constant stop-and-go for all planes behind me, ahich also cloggs up radio traffic. I know this problem didn't exist in FS9. Any ideas where I can set anything straight (like aircraft radii or sth...)? Or is it a scenery problem (mostly Aerosoft MegaAirports)? Thanks for any help! CF

Hi All, I'm not sure if this is a RealityXP, FSX or ORBX problem so I'll put it here as a starter for 10 and see where it ends up... I'm flying Air Hauler a lot atm (ahem...for the last two and a half years, solid) I've bought EGDY (RNAS Yeovilton) as my FOB, and I cannot fly an instrument approach with the listed ILS on RWY27. It says it's the correct freq (111.30) and displays the correct ILS name on the GPS but the beam never appears on the HSI (or VOR2 if I set it up so) My question: is this FSX, ORBX' rendition of EGDY or is it just that RXP has the wrong freq? I have the updated (May 11) Db for RXP... Interestingly, Air Hauler lists it as not having …

Guys, I have a problem with my fsx weather and sea textures. They look very odd. Please check the screen shots. How can i get rid of them? My rig: i5 2500k 4.4ghz 660gtx ti card 8 gigs of ram and LOD RADIUS is set to 6.5

I'm currently in the process of creating a comparison between landclass addons, UTX and default FSX and P3D scenery. I have Scenerytech and Cloud9 XClass, but am missing MyWorld Landclass X by B. Renk. Could anyone that own the latter product help me with a screenshot (I'll e-mail you the saved flights)? Also for the English screenshots I'd like help from someone who owns ORBX FTX England. For the benefit of everybody it would have been nice to make this comparison review complete with all the work involved. I just don't feel like forking out €35 for MyWorld Landclass X considering the almost total lack of information regarding this addon from the author, simmark…

I have been trying to make my SCM2004 work with FSX for editing the scenery.cfg. But somehow can't make it work although I did include the path to scenery.cfg and also the backup. I tried to look around a lot but just unable to find any guidance. I did find this post and tried the process mentioned but nothing seems to work. (Link to post http://forum.avsim.net/topic/286118-scm2004-replacement/) Could anyone guide me through this process, so I could use the scm 2004 for FSx on my windows 7 (64bit). Thanks in advance Regards vybhav

Hello All! I have encountered a problem with the Airbus X Extended. On approach to KSFO, and also on the GRZ4 to YVR, the star hits a pint called "MANUAL" and then goes into F-PLN discontinuity, however the discontinuity can not be taken out. When I try to take it out is says "NOT ALLOWED". Any help? Thanks! -abasa12

After $1000s in addons I have determined that the list below are must-haves as far as utilities and sceneries are concerned. I am curious to see what other people feel are their top 10 non-aircraft addons. When I was new to flight-simming a top 10 list like this was very helpful in getting myself immersed into FSX. MY TOP TEN, NON-AIRCRAFT, MUST HAVE ADDONS ARE: EZDOK FSCAPTAIN FSCOMMANDER GEX GSX MCE OPUSFSX REX UT2 UTX Honorable Mention: Accufeel Please share yours. Did I miss something?

Hopefully someone can assist. I run FSX in both windowed and full screen (across 3 monitors). When I run full screen runway and aircraft lights seem to be "over-bloomed", over-bright. I have REX Ess+ but have re-set the textures to the default and the issue still appears. Any ideas what it could be? Many thanks in advance. JJ
