While trying to clean up my hard drive today I discovered several hundred files with the name General.fx. There are also several hundred more of these with various other titles. Any one know what they are for?

Ok, I don't have any fancy controllers for flight sims, I'm using a weird mixture of cheap flightstick and a racing wheel. So, G25 wheel on my right side acting as throttle quadrant (rotated 90 degrees), with reverse thrust feature (thanks to FSUIPC). Using G25 accelerator/brake pedals for rudder, clutch for brake. On my left side is Saitek Cyborg flighstick, with throttle control acting as spoilers axis. Yep weird setup, but it serves me quite well, everything is smooth, and the placement of the controlers are good for Airbus lovers. I'll post the picture of my setup next year. What's your original setup

How do I search the forums here? I may have had too much wine over the last week but I cannot for the life of me see the search option anywhere... anyone point me in the right direction so that I avoid posting something already annswered here? Thanks

Good afternoon, I've recently taken the plunge and upgraded to FSX from 9, I decided to format my machine and start from fresh as I wanted the best performance. However I am now trying to activate my copy of FSX and I am getting a rather annoying licence authorization was unsuccessful msg. I have determined the key I am entering is correct as I do not get that error if I change 1 charachter of the key, and my internet connection is obviously working however I have tried now 10 times and still get the same msg. I have also tried a repair install of FSX. Google leads me to a rather vauge Microsoft website where I can download and install a fix however this has …

Hello, I use opus since two months. I'm now on version 2.71.0 I got a very annoying issue that began with the GRIB option. I always get same wind direction and speed at departure airport and destination airport. I first thought it was coincidence but now I'm sure it can't be. Is anyone having the same issue ? Thanks.

I have been trying to reduce the overall complexity of running FSX that comes with the addition and configuration of many fine addons. However, at the same time, I have recently become interested in Opus given the reviews I have read. So a couple of quick questions for those knowledgeable with the product. For Live camera and Trackir is there a way to rename the simconnect.manifest and the simconnectSP2.manifest files when I start FSX with Opus and have them renamed back when I finish with FSX? I am assuming my other sims that I use Trackir for need the files renamed back to the proper names. I know there is a "server" component that needs to be run every time yo…

I have been trying to eliminate the last few "shimmers" in my FSX / DX10 implementation. I have tried most of the options and additions recommended and am pretty happy with the result. The only shimmer I see is in the nine (?) tiles around the aircraft. When the AC is above 10,000' I can see almost no shimmer. When the AC is on the runway there is a lot of shimmer visible. I have tried every recommended and many other combinations using nVidia Inspector and modifications to fsx.cfg - no change that I can find stops the shimmer in the tiles immediately around the aircraft. No other shimmer appears anywhere else. I set Scenery Complexity and Autogen Densi…

Hello, Guys! 1)- How to do Airmanship in FSX? Airmanship has bothered me. I've tried B747's landing 50 times but Airmanship doesn't happen. So what easily can I do this? Any Formula, any trick please? 2)- Why real B747 flies with Hanging Wheels? and why it not hang its wheels in FSX? Look at this picture: See Another Image: Now see FSX's Wheels of B747. 3)- Now Why "M" comes? See in picture below: Best Regards, AP,

I know that there are so many of these topics out there about how to eliminate blurry ground textures from FSX however I have tried near on everything i can to try and solve this problem. Please see my sig for specs. Within the last few days i have this issue where my ground textures (GEX and UTX) will just become blurry almost as soon as i take off. They do not make or seem to make any attempt to recover sharpness and will remain blurry. I have tried this in various locations around the globe with the same result. This issue was never happening to me beforehand and i cannot understand what could be wrong here. FTX england, airport sceneires etc are perfect, i…

I'm fairly confused with my FSX - at the moment, I'm mid Atlantic with the NGX and getting 8-10FPS in the VC, with 35-45FPS on the exterior.. I've never had them this low in the VC inflight before. I generally normally get 15-25 in the VC airborne. At the moment I'm only running FSX, Squawk Box & Google Chrome.. Any idea what could be causing this? When I left EGLL with UK2000's scenery I was getting 15+ in the VC.

I have both the LevelD 767 and FS2 Crew LevelD 767. In your opinion, which is better for you? I used the FS2 crew version and kept getting crashes. I haven't tried just the regular LevelD 767 but I have heard people saying none of their LevelD birds have had a CTD.

Thanks for the advice the other day regarding the QW 757, its a easy break from the other heavies i own just knocked up 2 schemes since we dont operate them down here maybe 2013 is our year the 757-200 then again with robbie deans as our coach i highly doubt it and the 757-300

I have tried multiple times to reinstall Flight1 S80 pro and it installs up to 99% and then goes into a "not responding" status. I have closed my AV programs and firewall. I have been ting to get help from Flight1 but not getting anywhere. Has anybody else had this issue and possible fix? It freezes on a file called spoiler.wind.wav.

hello, im really stuck on fs2crew. everything is going all smoothly in the voice edition however, when i get to the stage where i have to ask for push back and engine start i ask the ground " ground from cockpit' and he man then says " go ahead" and then when i say we are ready for push-back and engine start it comes up on the screen so it has heard my voice but nothing happens no feedback from the man what so ever however different variations i might say it in. it just does not do nothing i tried connecting both ways by svc and another one cant redeemer, i have also tried re-installing the ngx along with sp1c and still nothing. is there anyone out there with a soluti…

I'd like your suggestions for a very high quality FSX addon of a long-range aircraft for exploring the world, one long-haul flight at a time... In a nutshell, I'd like something as good as the PMDG 737 NGX, but with a range of over 5000nm. I can think of several real-world aircraft that are up to the task, but where I need help is finding a good model of said planes on FSX. Some specifics: Proper simulation of aircraft systems (eg - if engines have air starters, I expect that they won't start if bleed air pressure is low due to no air source or leaving A/C packs on; control surfaces don't move if hydraulic pressure is low; EGT temperature rises slowly on sta…

Is ICE and World of AI compatible/

I have Flight1 Ultimate airliners Super 80 pro and noticed the DC-9 classic was just released. What do others think of this bird? Since I have the MD80 is it realistic to buy the DC-9?

I've always liked flying around Venice. Is the Aerosoft Venice scenery worth getting? Or is it more or less the same as the default FSX scenery? Any other Venice sceneries out there that anyone would recommend for FSX?

Looking around for some new engine sounds for the PMDG 737 NGX I came across one here in the AVSIM forums that was downloaded over 14,000 times (most downloaded that I've seen). The file name is sound_b_737-800.zip made by Aleksandar Ristovski. I made a backup of my sound folder then moved this folder in but now when I load up the plane I am hearing a loud rumble while sitting cold and dark on the ramp. I turned down the engine, cockpit and enviroment sounds down to 0 and it is still there. When I put back the original PMDG sound folder the sound goes away. Does anyone know how to stop this loud rumble with the sound b file? Angelo

I decided to try, once again, to use DX10. Past attempts to use DX10 have been relatively successful. I did see the increased frame rate but the minor runway shimmering did not appeal to me. Now that there appear to be several DX10 modifications and enhancements I thought I'd give it another try. I have not tried DX10 for many months and have applied a lot of Vista maintenance and have installed and/or removed several FSX modifications including the OOM memory patcher. When I try to start FSX with the DX10 flag set to 1 (d3d10=1) - FSX loads for a while and then the FSX address space just vanishes - no error codes, no warning message, nothing from FSX - it i…

I really love piglet's pilatus pc-7, but it feels so wrong having to manually control the prop pitch, since there is no such control in the real aircraft. Leaving prop pitch at 100% results in the aircraft rocketing off when starting up, even with p.brake on, due to the massive torque. Is there something I'm missing ? or does everyone have to control the prop pitch manually? If 'that's just the way it is' then maybe I could automate some kind of 'if throttle < 5% then pitch = feathered' logic via FSUIPC... And yes, I know about the IRIS PC-9 being free, but it's a fairly big FPS hit for me.

Well, it appears that EZDok has completely stopped working. I was having issues with one aircraft (the Airbus X Extended, which has its own view system that messes with EZDok), so I reinstalled, and ever since, it hasn't worked at all. The program still opens with FSX, but I can't change views by any means except the view menu in FSX. Basically, I'm stuck in the default VC view for each aircraft, and when I switch to the external EZDok view by going to the FSX view menu and selecting "EZDok Universal Camera", the camera is positioned, immobile, in the middle of the aircraft. Neither the hat switch nor any other shortcut buttons on my joystick work. Just about the only thi…
