Does anyone have any recommendations of comm hardware that works well in FSX? Something that I could place or mount on my computer desk? Thanks, Bruce

Hello, I just wanted to start off saying thank you for this amazing weather addon. I can't remember the last time I caught myself with my jaw dropped open looking at fsx I understand for the time being there is not any turbulence with this weather but are there any plans for future updates to include it? The camera shake just feels like my pilot is constantly having a seizure. -Travis

Hi Guys. Could anyone tell me if there is a quick fix for the 1766 error when reinstalling FSX, I have tried the fix from Microsoft, (which is faulty anyway, should be exe not All.) to no avail. Any help would be greatfully recieved. I desperately need to get back in the cockpit. Thanks

I just purchased the 2.60 version today and installed according to the get started single pc guide. I did not get a screen capture of it; however, the HGS in the PMDG 737NGX was rendered unusable. I have enable live camera control turned off; however, my viewpoint in the cockpit was such that the HGS was too small to fit the displayed information in it. As such I could only read part of the display. I attempted to zoom but that did not improve the situation. Is it possible that I missed a step in the get started guide or is this a new issue I am having?

I recently purchased the Abacus Fly The Airbus A380 version 2. I loaded it in FSX. I can not see either the primary flight displays or the auto pilot. I tried selecting and deselecting the the 2d panel and cockpit with out any luck. I also sent an email to Abacus support. I did not receive a response from them. Can someone offer a solution to this problem? Thank you in advance.

Hi. I had a major systems crash, and after recovering the system, FSX would no longer work. I have tried repairing, re-installing and uninstalling, but the program always stops with the message "Error 1324. The path Microsoft Flight Simulator X contains an invalid character". I've tried running a registry cleaner, and Revo uninstaller but nothing works. FSX by the way is installed to it's own hard drive D: Has anyone got any suggestions at all? Kevin O'Connell

Hi Guys, Ok so as I understand it, to upgrade Opus to the latest version I: A. Download update B. Go to control panel and uninstall last version C. Install newest version Another words I don't have to manually uninstall anything. When uninstalling from the Windows control panel it still leaves your Opus folder intact, and when you install the update you choose your original Opus folder path as it still contains your licensing information, and the new version will add the new files, and overwrite anything it needs too?

Hey guys, I'm really enjoying using FSWidgets GMap, but I'd prefer something that works like it but doesn't need an internet connection. Any alternatives? I have tried feelthere Map, but I don't really like it.

Hey, I want to know if there is a safe way to store aircraft outside of flght simulator x without deleting it entirely or doing something that may cause my computer to crash. Recently, I was told by a computer professional that deleting aircraft from flight simulator x is not a good idea; I was told that my system is fragile and many of the addons I download may rely on my computer's ability to function properly. But that's only one side of the problem. The other side is I currently have over 500 planes installed on flight simultaor x that I use infrequently or not at all. Is there a way that I can put them in temporary storage without doing anything that could cra…

Hello folks, this is an interesting question for you liner fans: of all the ones out there, for FSX, which one would you say is the most complex airliner to learn and fly? Let's say the one, or maybe ones, where you really have to study to make them fly? You can mention future releases as well, if you know about their complexity, like if you are beta testers. I am very curious to find out, just for my own knowledge. You may also consider biz jets for that matter. Let the answers come in!! Thanks for any input, regards Enrico :smile:

I'm enjoying flight simming a lot, especially with complex airliners designed for maximum realism. I see a problem coming soon for me, however, in that there are several fantastic complex airplanes to be released in the next year....and I have an interest in all of them. Unfortunately, there's no way I can devote the time or even maintain the knowledge of each, meaning I won't really master any of them. By the way, when I say master, I mean experiencing and retaining 80+% of what the product offers the consumer. So, assuming your an NGX flyer, (as many of us are), what do you buy without losing your current NGX skill level: FS Labs A320, the Majestic Q400, PMDG 77…

This cirrus appear every where i go under live weather, even on clear sky ....i got clear sky were i live then i run FSX i get clear sky but the cirrus are there hovering. and every time i start FSX is always on fare weather, it doesn't stay in user define. I know Opus has an option to disable Cirrus, So do i have do this every time even with "live weather" any idea?

So i was flying from griffis up here in rome down to kennedy intl, and once i got over kennedy its almost like they forgot about me, i was on my way out into the atlantic and the tower never gave me any instructions? am i missing anything? there was quite a bit of traffic so maybe they were waiting or something but idk lol.

Hello, I believe theres an A380 add-on scheduled to come out within the following year. However I have forgot what the url was for the companies site. They were making an FSLABS/PMDG style product but for the a380. Can anybody remind me which company this was? Thanks Jacob

I'm curious to know from anyone who has purchased MegaSceneryEarth ME or VT who also has NH 2.0. Specifically, I am interested in how seamlessly the two scenery areas blend. I currently own v1.0 tiles of Northern Arizona and Southern Utah, and while I am marginally satisfied with both of these independently, I was disappointed to see that there is no blending between the two coverage areas, and there's a jarring strip of default FS scenery between them which really detracts from the "immersive VFR experience". Moreover, the Arizona photography has a marked tint compared to Utah scenery - there's no color transition. I have some concern after seeing the 2.0 screenshots of …

Something I never thought about until I was fiddling around. My FPS in Orbx Pacific NW were around 60fps. The Graphics Processor Unit (GPU) was at 99% and the fan was running at 80% of full speed to keep heat at 59c. Sort of noisy fan. So on a whim I set FPS to 30fps using the program's internal limiter.. The GPU load dropped to 40% and the fan speed to 45% of max. I was not having any stutters or flashing before or after this change. If your GPU fan noise is annoying, or you are concerned about hi-temps, then reduced FPS may help.

I have forgotten how to set up a hotkey in the panel.cfg file for a particular window. Mainly it is needed for a window number beyond 9. Appreciate it if someone will jolt this old brain with the entry required. Regards to all Neal H

Hello all, I'm trying to do more flying to/from the Southern California and desert SW areas, including out into the Las Vegas and Phoenix regions - GA, mostly complex piston singles and twins with an occasional run in the Turbine Duke, Malibu JetProp and C90 KingAir. I've had landclass addons (GEX, UTX and a couple of other landclass packages) but I'm just not satisfied with the way they portray the arid SW, so I've been looking at what else I can do for this area. So far, I've installed a selection of Blue Sky's photoreal scenery as well as Megascenery X - Las Vegas and Aerosoft's US Cities X Los Angeles. The Blue Sky scenery is WONDERFUL in the open arid count…

i'm trying the demo and i'm not sure if i understand the limitations correctly. so for example i tried the import metar features to test weather changes from point A to point B : case 1 : - i try a short flight with a fast plane to prevent 15 minutes limit (LSGS - LSZA) - both metars are in the import file and i set super sunny at LSGS and super rainy at LSZA - i do the flight at standard speed, and when close to LSZA the weather is still the same sunny as LSGS, it doesn't change, is that a demo effect ? (the opus weather report says correctly overcast in fsx once i got close to LSZA, but the weather is still sunny) - of course if i start from LSZA the depi…

Hi devs, I seem to have an issue with the visibility layers: Regardless which (surface) visibilty I set, at altitude there always seems to be a layer of unlimited visibilty which would be alright if there wasnt another layer (looks like a visibility layer) on top. (Its always there unless I choose one of the preset "weather themes") This leads to a (not very nice looking) depiction as shown in the images. I'd say the layer described (at high altitude) is a visibility layer because it makes no difference if I enable/disable Cirrus clouds. I can clearly see at high altitudes (> 18000 ft in this case), when i am on top of ALL the layers the depiction i…

Is the camera supposed to work in the demo? I read the user guide but mine still doesnt do anything. For me the choice between OpusFSX or EZCA will come down to how realistic the camera effects are since I already have a weather engine (AS2012). I tried in both windowed and full screen mode. The weather on the ground seemed pretty accurate to me but no different from what AS2012 displayed so its really hard to judge just taxiing around.

Hey all, I saw this YouTube video that caught my eye. (video shown below) As you can see, the graphics are really awesome. Is there a way I can get the same graphics quality with my mid-2010 MacBook? (money is no object) On FSX, I use the PMDG 737NGX and the Shader 3.0 mod. Here are my specs: Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (4GB-RAMPatch-Multilingual-12.7.2010 installed) Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.4 gHz, 3072kb L2 cache) NVIDIA GeForce 320M (integrated, 256MB of shared memory) Crucial M4 512GB Solid State Disk (500MB/s read, 260MB/s write) 13.3-inch, LED backlit, glossy widescreen display (1280 × 800) 8GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM (1066 MHz) …
