As much as I would love to post this on the ES development forums, my account was deleted and I've not received a response to new registration :( I'm hoping someone here can pass along the relevant info. I am flying the Citation X v2.0 Extreme. I'm having a number of problems with LNAV mode (among other things): 1. The aircraft tracks but does not cycle waypoints in NAV mode. 2. Once a waypoint is reached, the aircraft embarks on a corkscrewy journey on a meandering flight path orthogonal and away from the waypoint just reached. 3. Estimated distance to waypoint as reported in the FMS is never updated (almost like it doesn't know where the aircraft is geographic…

I have been doing a lot of flying in OrbX scenery and have noticed a difference in runway numbers such as KTDO runway 06/24 in Orbx, and in real life I presume, is 05/23 in FSX (according to ATC at least). I believe this is a consequence of FSX being 6 yrs old and runway numbers can change over time due to magnetic variation. My question is this. If I use modern charts such as found on navaid.com will there be a conflict in course settings due to this anomaly or has this been considered by OrbX when creating the scenery? I ask because as I approached another airport KSEA R34L I set my HSI for 343 degrees as stated on the chart but on approach I had to fly in manually as…

I got curious and went to the properties folder of my fsx install... It took a minute or so to read all the files.. 110 GB smh... how big is too big? I blame ORBX :mad:

Hello, Guys! I've just three questions, 1)- How to move first two wheels of a plane in FSX? As an original airplane moves easily quickly by moving its first two wheels left or right. So how can we do this in FSX without joystick and only by using, Keyboard, Mouse or any command? 2)- I've done an experience that an airplanes Height is inversely proportional to its Speed. Means, If I go to top height then Aircraft's Speed reduces and if I come down then Aircraft's speed increases. So how can increase Speed and Height at maximum at one time? Means how I can do Height directly proportional to Speed? 3)- Many airports in the World has their only one side of the…

HI Folks I'm trying the demo and getting the following error message, which appears to be coming from FSX: "The weather theme could not be loaded. Please check that this file exists and try again." I'm running FSXSERVER as administrator on a stand alone machine. Opus is installed in the required location. I get the Opus menus under addons in FSX, so they are talking to each other. I've gone looking for the file in Opus manually and selected it, so it is there in the Opus weather themes folder. What obvious novice mistake am I making? Cheers Mike

Hi Everyone, I have a question that has been in my mind. Which is better for weather and textures. REX or AS2012? I already have Opus and is outstanding.Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you

I was looking at simviation's misc FSX files and came across a space shuttle addon that claimed to take you to 800,000 feet. is that even possible? I haven't tried it out yet and was just curious.

Hi I have FSX+FSGX 2010 installed on same drive, want to move current install of fsglobal to new drive, to reduce demand on FSX drive. what is the easiest way to move fsglobal to another drive, is it 1. Copy FSGX2010 folder to new drive 2. Start FSX -> in scnery library window, update FSGX scenery areas to point to new location. 2b.Someone mentioned i need to edit scenery.cfg file, but no clue what edit to make. 3. Are there any other steps to this 4. And importantly how do you confirm its installed/moved ok. The point of this exercise is to reduce high demand on FSX drive, where FSGX is also currently installed. Spotted this using WIn7 …

So I bought "Nav Data Pro" from Aerosoft because it covers tons of smaller Airports in Australia that I love to fly into. Tonight I was flying the G1000 from F1's 182T with an updated database and the GNSS approaches for Hervey Bay YHBA where in there. As I approached the Final Approach Fix Ihad the Glide Path armed on the Autopilot think that the autopliot would intercept a "glidepath" and fly it down to the Minimum, but no Vertical Guidence was given at all on the PDF. This approach is a GNSS with StraightIn Minima, arnt I suppose to be getting Vertical Guidence for this type of Appraoch in a G1000, am I not setting something up right, is the NavData missing the Altit…

I picked up acceleration for the Carrier Ops. I know that acceleration contains SP1 and SP2, so you do not need them. I looked in the control panel/programs and I can see SP2 there but not SP1 (and I know I installed it because SP2 will not install with out it). So my simple question is can I simply uninstall SP2, then install Acceleration because I see no way to remove SP1? I am trying to avoid reinstalling everything Thanks, Tony EDIT: Nevermind, found out that it will work if I just uninstall SP2. I missed this in my google search! You can lock/delete this http://www.microsoft...-EN-ReadMe.aspx

Hi, SO I got EZDOCK and it is REALLY hard to configure. Is there any other similar software that it a bit easier to set up? Thanks!

Hello, I purchased OpusFSX just yesterday and i'm experiencing a few issues. The most important (and the major reason why i purchased OpusFSX) has to do with weather and clouds. I am getting about 90% of "compressed" and stretched unrealistic clouds on most of my flights. Sometimes there are nice fluffly clouds, but they're so scattered that look like small cotton balls spread throughout the sky - This happens more at high altitude. In this picture, you can see what i mean about "compressed" and stretched clouds: They have no volume, and when i cross them, they're completely flat (not 3D). They look like layers. Is this an issue with my cloud theme (i use…

Hi all Which iPad apps are the recommended apps for flightsim ?. I know it is relative to what you intend doing - just wondering whether there is an 'essentials' list .. I'm interested in any quality, worthwhile apps which have general/specific use. But there is also loads of rubbish about, so interested in views. Cheers

I had an OOM yesterday, my first, while using the McPhat livery for the PMDG livery. Since then my aircraft have been showing as "skeletons" when I'm in outside view. This happens mostly on resource intensive aircraft addons like PMDG and CS. I'm sure I didn't change anything so I'm worried I corrupted something and might be looking at a (heaven forbid!!) reinstall. Has anyone experienced this?

You've probably seen the excellent freeware Rafale M by Bruno Merelle (aka Thor's Hammer). There's long been news of a VC being developed for it, and recently there's been some news on the FSX French Air Force website about a new beta scheduled to come out soon (I think). Does anybody know if there is, in fact, a VC coming out, and, if so, when? (for some reason, I think I saw September 30th somewhere)

I have FSX Acceleration. I am running Win7. I checked the dll.xml file and it looks right. I have the FX Tool showing in FSX Tools. My FSX.cfg has this line: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Special Effects SDK\visualfxtool.dll.oqnrzlqzkzwqokwachbktnkwbbtibuqnuaulurto=0 Here's my dll.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>dll.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon…

Has anyone tired SimPLates? Do you think its worth it? http://www.dauntless-soft.com/PRODUCTS/SimPlates/

Hello, i am not going to post a picture but i'll try to explain it. i am using AS2012, and i am experiencing this while connected to vatsim (well i don't know if it will happen while offline, never flying offline) so the problem is, while there's clouds in the skyes, with a lot of holes between them, not overcast, i am experiencing rain. very unrealistic and can't be true. like it's raining from the skyes. thanks for the helpers!

Hi- I'm not sure how to do this. Is this a saved fsx.cfg file that you save somewhere and then just load it on the fly and it works? If you like watching the scenery, low and slow, LOD of 5.5 will give you a better experience. With the NGX, I would stay with 4.5, however. I have two settings saved (alt-options-settings-save and load) one for 4.5 and one for 5.5so I can change it on the fly Thanks, Mark

I found this AMAZING site where you can find all of the POSKY planes http://poskyarchive.com/index.php

If you're looking for an alternative to navigraph maybe this is the thing to get. I just bought it. It's really neat.One click and all your addons are updated ! more here :-> http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/57999-navdatapro-navigation-released/#

Anyone know how to stop the default flight and go directly to the free flight screen with a default flight?

Hi all, I am GaryG from Project Airbus and I've been working on a FBW module for quite some time now. It can hold pitch and bank. So, if you're interested, visit this thread at PA: http://talk.pafs.wf/...php?f=10&t=2250 Wish to have some feedback as it's been quite quiet there. Thanks a lot and looking forward to hear from you. Regards

I have a problem with the IRIS F35 Joint Strike Fighter (the free one). I am trying to use it as an AI plane, but when it taxis, the downward jet blast results in lots of sparkling lights coming up from the ground. I am pretty sure that this is some kind of dust effect, but I can't seem to find the effect that is responsible. I had to do something similar with the Wilco Harrier, and that involved the removal of the fx_RCB_Smoke45.fx and fx_RCB_Smoke90.fx files. Can anyone help me here? I have eliminated the afterburner effect by removing the fx_jsf_burner.fx file (since afterburner glow when taxiing is rather silly), but this "dust" effect is annoying me.
