MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum

Hi, Hoping someone can help. I have just come over to the darkside having used FS9 up till now. I bought FSX when it first came out and like many was dissapointed and left it dormant. Three computers later and I thought I would give it another try and so far it is running very well on my system and I am thinking of going over fully to FSX. In order to test various items I am running the Posky 737 and have transfered the Microsoft FSX 737 panel in to the Posky plane and have a problem, the 2d panel is fine but the VC appears to be missing textures on the facia. All the gauges and buttons are there but just a plain black texture on the panel background no button nam…

Before I spend some $$ on UT Canada & USA I wonder if anyone could tell me if I could download UT with FTX central on FSX dedault and not cause problems if I want to use UT outside of FTX areas. It sounds like FTX is not going to cover very many other NA areas and UT is a huge step up from FSX. Thanks.

I've been trying to fine tune my REX Essential Water settings to give me the most realistic color but cahn't quite seem to get it looking the way I think it should My wave animations are set to "REX Sparkling" as I really like this effect. Anyone care to share their Setting and maybe a screenshot of the results they're getting with their settings? Cheers! :smile:

Dear Stephen, I have two question regarding Opus. The first is, is it possible to save camera views so that one can restore them after upgrading the programme? I ask this becuase every time I have installed one of the the new beta version of Opus I have had to redo all the camera views for my aircraft. I have read the sections of the manual where it talks about 'Save Views', 'Restore Views' but that seems to concern windowed views not re-installing previously configured camera positions. Secondly, would it be possible to include an external camera view which duplicates the 'walk around' function that is found in DBS Walk and Follow or in EzDoc? Maybe this is alrea…

I have been thinking often about this topic, each time I buy a new airport scenery in fact, which is frequent nowadays since I acquired FSX only three months ago and bought over fifty airport add-ons from FSDT, FlyTampa, Aerosoft, Tropical Sim, Imagine Sim and the likes. Before with FS9, no question, if you want airport services, AES is a must and the only way, but in FSX we have a choice with GSX as an other option. Or do we?! With my first airport, I bought GSX immediately as a no-brainer, I was getting in one product all airport services at all airports in the world including FSX stock airports in one go, it is smarter, considerably cheaper and as pleasant …

Hi all, As you can see, there is a sudden jump between hong kong airport and the sea. Any suggestion on how to fix it? Thanks! (addon installed: imaginesim vhhh, flytampa kai tai, Rex)

Hey guys, hopefully by the time you read this post I'll have figured out the issue myself. I've spent two days trying to get the base game SDK running and have failed. I've followed the instructions to the letter, but can't get simconnect to come up and I can't get it loaded up. I can't find the simconnect.ini and I can't figure out how I'm managing to not get the object placement tool for the mission creation kit to show in fsx. If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it. See, I have a copy of the Air Force One addon and want to create a few missions with it, one heading into area 51. And I can't afford the $30 for the Instant Mission Creator tool at this point. Th…

Here's a dilemma for you, or maybe it isn't. I'm currently making this freeware aircraft for FSX, which I'm sure you will recognise as LZ-129, aka the Hindenburg: The problem is, rather obviously since it was about fifty feet wide on the real thing, the massive Swastika flag on the tailfins. Personally, not being a fan of revisionist versions of history, I'm of the opinion that if it was there on the real thing, then it ought to be there on a model which is supposedly representing the real thing. However... Whilst I'm certainly no ######, I see such a model as nothing more than a representation of what the real thing looked like, and thus its realistic appear…

Hello all, A heads up for Accu-Feel users: A 'pre-release' of version 1.091 can be downloaded here http://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=31636 Improved sounds and interface, bugfixes (e.g. no jerking nose-gear after landing any more). Works great, but in combination with the PMDG NGX the wind option should be turned off, as there is still a strong wind blowing when you have parked at the gate. Besides, the NGX itself has excellent wind sound. Kind regards

.Disregard...I found my answer...

Any thoughts on the Alabeo vs the Iris Pitts. Would appreciate any info. Tom Hibben

I scanned the forum directory and coudln't find an exact match for this topic, I hope no one is offended I'm posting here, it had the most viewers. I bought MS Flight Sim back in 1988 after winning a football pool and proceded to get my private ticket in 1993. I love PC's but haven't been into flying sims in a looong time. I drive race cars on-line instead. btw, the cockpits and force feedback wheels are pretty amazing and the development is leading edge. I've been perusing boards, forums, blogs etc to find something that would accomodate my needs. Like me, they're pretty basic. I want to brush up during the winter months on my flying skills, communicatio…

I'm having an issue with my fsx build that i'm working on.. For reference its an ati 5850 1GB card, i7 2600k at 4.7ghz on a p8p7 deluxe board. This is a "sortof" fresh new build of FSX. It started as clean build on a Win 8 box with the ati 12.8 catalyst driver per this thread... But as of now to get my fps back to normal, i've changed the drive letter on my old fsx installed partition/drive to something else, then created a new partition using the same drive letter and did a fresh install of fsx, then utx, then gtx, then rex, then pnw with latest service patch and 1s2 airport to the "new" partition (so file wise its new, but registry may still have remnant…

Hi All I'm getting back into FS after a 6 month break from active flying due to house moves etc, but have decided to delete/uninstall my old FSX platform which was getting clogged-up after a great two year run. I'm a bit out of touch with the latest and greatest tweak guides. Is Nick Needham's guide still the best one to use for prepping for a fresh install ? Help appreciated. thanks eric

Hey to one and all A long term user of FSX but I am looking to establish a wide view installation across two PCs. However, before I have even got that far I have come across something really curious. As mentioned I now have two PC's, both of which have recently had (clean) installations of windows 7 (Home Premium) No other software has been installed at present, execpt that of things like adobe reader. To all intense and purposes both installations are a mirror of one another at this time Following well established processes, I have just installed FSX (Deluxe/Accel) on both machines in exactly the same way. Entered the keys as required and activate…

Hi, Newbie here. I was trying my hand with the LD-767 following Mike Ray tutorial doing an autoland on runway 16L using ILS. The plane lands fine, but it was landing on the grass strip parallel to the runway. This happens with the default KSEA airport. The AIRAC cycle is the default 0701 that came with LD767. Can someone tell me what is wrong? Thanks

After flying quite a few hours on the piston Duke, I realized that at times the trim wheel gets stuck, at 0 or 100...maybe it is some setting I do not know about, does anyone have an answer for this? Thanks for your help Enrico

I get steady 30fps stutter free flying but recently my jotsticks hat switch (8-way) view panning started stuttering oddly in a way that it looked like going below 5fps (but the sims rate is still 30fps). Help please! I don't want to hold my spacebar forever to look around.... (Ps, this started after tinkering my ENB settings)

Hello, I tried reinstalling my original cirrus_overcast texture, which I kept in back_up since I installed FSX for the first time, but this strange layer above the aircraft did not go away, as you can see in the first picture. When I changed the Max Surface Visibility from 20 to 80 miles, the layer disappeared and all looked well (second picture). In the spy window, there was never a cloud layer above 12000 ft. The pictures were taken at 20000 ft. Strange is also that when I consult ATIS in PFE (my ATC program),With each flight, it mentions: scattered at 42700 ft. The third picture shows my cirrus textures in the FSX texture folder. Except for the overcast texture…

OpusFSX Version 2.20.0 Beta is now available for download on our website. Firstly, the version 2.20 Beta includes the new improved smooth and fluid DHM motions incorporated into previous beta version 2.12.3. in addition this version also includes a major upgrade to the Live Weather Engine (LWE). Live Weather Engine (LWE) Upgrade ... Extended weather horizon and dynamic weather region The new weather engine's horizon covers an area of 992km by 992km (616 by 616 miles) centered on your aircraft's current position, at present this matches the size of the detailed weather region created by the LWE. We have also doubled the resolution of the weather map, ea…

Folks I'm exploring my first foray into third party sound packs, one to replace definitely wrong generic sounds and another for an OK but might be better. Is there anything I need to be wary of with TSS sound packs? I'm a bit torn with the QW sounds - not sure if the TSS one is much of an improvement and it's a bit hard to tell without trying. (and since I don't know how it works, might screw up the plane specific sounds like the cabin manager talking in the background) Cheers Mike

Okay time to switch from Flight to FSX flying the Maule is getting a little boring. I found FSX Gold in a box on line for 30 bucks. Is there any issue with it on W 7 64 bit? Are the disc boxes any different? I would just buy it from Xbox but being in Canuckistan they have nixed that idea.

Hi - using FSX + acceleration, am not able to spool up the engines. Using 'F4' the engines will increase power then drop back to idling. Same happens with Saitek throttle. Tried with default 737-800, no a/pilot on. Have even gone back to a fresh install, of FSX - still same problem. Trawled the www to find an answer - no avail. appreciate any tips you can give to resolve this, thanks. Dave.

thanks guys ^ The 2 that ive tried make my fsx look like a mess.....

I hadn't heard of this product until recently (someone on the forum mentioned the developer Cielosim, so I googled it and browsed their site.) It's called Airport Enhancer HDX and it has new runway/taxiway/sign/markings etc textures and they are AWESOME. I realize the only way to get truly accurate and lifelike airports is to get the hand-crafted ones (like Orbx, Tongas X, etc) but for a general replacer, this works really really well. I have had REX for a couple of years and while its textures are definitely good, IMO AEHDX textures are much better. They are higher resolution as well. Check out the site, they have great screenies, and yes, it really does look that g…
