Hi All, I'm on the search for a good classic 747 (100/200/300) for FSX. My research has led me to conclude the following: 1) The RFP 747 package is probably the most realistic classic 747 available, but is only available for FS9 (and I already have it, but haven't found a way to get it into FSX - doesn't look like it's possible?) 2) The CLS 747 classic package looks good, but doesn't have the level of detail of the RFP package - is more like a default aicraft. 3) There are the POSKY 747 packages which will look just fine, but is there an FSX panel package to go with them? I'd hate to fly a classic with the default 747-400 panel. I'm not looking neces…

Here's my problem: I have added airport textures (runways, apron, etc) and grass replacement textures that work fine and display well as can be seen in the first shot. I am also using UTX Europe at highest resolution with no problems. However at some airports, e.g. EDDF the airport area looks really ugly, see 2nd shot. These textures also show in mountainous areas. I have installed summer textures by Aimé Leclercq but that didn't solve the problem. My scenery settings are fairly high and detail textures are activated. Does anybody know how to fix this? My settings:

As the title says. Is GEX (Europe) a big improvement and worth the money? Nathan

Hi all this isnt a deal breaker for me, since been noticing this for awhile and was wondering on the fix to it been looking for the answers to it but to no avail so far. Iam geting the blue fog visiblity instead of the white as it suppose to be . I read theirs a number of factors like monitor fsx, video cards etc just wondering if anyone knows of a certain quick fix would great but no big deal either way. using fsx accel. w/7 64 o/s

If I ever decide to get FSX acceleration pack, do I have to uninstall all of my addons (such as the NGX, REX, FSDT airports) and reinstall FSX, or will I be fine re installing acceleration over my current installation?

Hi guys, After getting my PC/FSX.cfg set up I'm now turning to installing scenery and Ai aircraft etc and have come up with a question. What texture format works best for a good quality/performance compromise for AI Aircraft in FSX? And, What is the best/easiest way to convert them? I'll be using UT2 as my AI program as I'm coming from UT on FS9 and really like the interface, real schedules etc. In FS9 I'd replaced most of the models with AI Aardvark, Fruit Stand etc and had textures formatted to DXT3 with Mips which from memory was the best format for FS9. I'm planning on using these models in FSX as well. This leads me to another question. I'm runnin…

I have no trouble changing the com frequencies in the 2D panel but I am having trouble selecting the number in the VC, I can only seem to change what comes after the period. How do I change the bit before? (I am not referring the problem that it's hard to change the knobs when the plane is moving) Can somehow help? Thanks

Hi everyone, I've been thinking about the wilco crj evo for a while now. I'm never to confident on wilco's products, basically because not many of them are that great. But the CRJ is such a nice aircraft and there is no other payware version out there. I've not heard any good feedback from anybody about the product and so I thought i'd ask here if anyone has tried it and if so, what they think about it? Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure if just any FSX expert will be able to answer my question. It may take someone who's very familiar with this specific addon (fsx_maui_lc.zip), but I thought I'd ask anyway. I also sent an email to the author of the scenery... I have noticed that in some areas I get a HUGE drop in FPS (from ~30fps to about 10-15 fps). The area I've found this to be most noticeable at is Kapalua airport, but only if I'm facing the mountains. If my view is facing anywhere from the coast to the southwest, out to Lanai, Molakai, or up the coast to the northeast, my fps are rock steady at 30 (even in areas with lots of custom buildings placed). As soon as I look over to th…

Hi, I am using REX and AS2012 and even going back to the FSX default water I cant get my water to look normal. It looks terrible. The first pic is water on "slider all the way to the left" or none effects. You can see the inland brown and normal ocean color (although to dark because I kept selecting darker and darker textures with Active Sky to try to get pic 2 to darken). The second pic is what you see when water is in the 2x range. Baby poweder blue, just god awfull. I am at a loss here. This is after a full reinstall of everything, was not the case with the last setup. Any help is much appec. Thanks

I've been using Javier Fernandez's USS Eisenhower and Nimitz for a while now, and I just saw a video in which somebody operated the aircraft elevator to raise their plane from the lower deck hangar. How is this animation operated? Thanks, boeing247

Maybe you've seen this, but... If you have Google Earth installed on your PC, you can download KML files that label all (most?) of the airports in specified FAA regions. To get the files, search Google for "FAA airport database in Google Earth (KML) files". Open one of the first websites found to see a direct link to the KML files: http://www.justsoar....ublic/nasr_apt/ There are 10 files here, covering 9 FAA regions and one big file (apt_all.kml) that's a combination of all the others (loading this one in Google Earth will slow performance). Just right-click on each file and "save target as...". Be sure the saved filename extension is KML (Vista wants to …

Hello, I decided to do some VFR I took to the skies and decided I wanted a weather change so I paused my FSX and changed the weather to rain, when I looked on my wind screen there were brillaint rain droplets on my wind screen but as soon as I un paused they disappeared Any ideas Thanks

To all you FSX experts out there! I have FSX Standard which as you know is a little stunted in what the Gold version can offer. I have now bought FSX Deluxe and Expansion Pack, I had in mind to wait until there was a problem with standard and take the opportunity to uninstall and install Deluxe and Expansion, I should mention that the standard edition is SP2. Long story short, I seem to have a very stable system and nothing so far has gone drastically wrong enough for me to take the plunge. To all you knowledgeable people out there is there a way I can install the missing features that deluxe has without messing up my stable simulation, or would it be so terr…

I've discovered in my SimObjects\Airplanes directory, 2 Microsoft FSX default aircraft (DeHavilland_Beaver_DHC2 & DH_Dash8_100) that I can't find in the Aircraft Selection in Free Flight setup. How can I go about getting these planes? Their directories seem complete with aircraft.cfg, .air files, models, sounds, and textures ... There are apparently 3 Dash-8s available, and 3 Beavers.

Hi this is my first time using the EZdok camara . I have read the manual an stuff but i can't manage to find out why is it when i release the space bar key the camera goes back into place like the original place it was set. I mean i can look around holding the spacebar key for certain amount of time like about 4 second at lease , but then the camera goes back into place again . I can't look at something unless i hold the spacebarkey with out releasing it . Has anyone have this problem when first using the EZdok Camera if so can you help me out with any solution . Thanks

I just dont like the movements I get when the plane lands. I want a more realistic one and Its confusing.

Am a recent convert to FSX. Ran FS9 for years. No complaints. Re-installed all of my WoAI files to FSX. It has been a while since I ran FS9, but IIRC, at the beginning of the AC takeoff roll, the nose and landing lights would illuminate along with a spotlight pattern on the tarmac. With FSX, I am not seeing any spotlight pattern on the tarmac. There is a spotlight bmp file in my texture folder but I can't remember if it is the default file or a 3rd party one that I added. Should I see a spotlight pattern in FSX with my WoAI AC? Thanks

I recently installed a scenery of WARJ from FlightSim.com (http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/content.php?108-Copyright&fid=166385), that required me to replace the APX77340.BGL file included in the \Scenery\0904\scenery folder. To my surprise, after doing this, FSX displays the following message while building the scenery database.: "Your computer has run out of available memory. Please restart Flight Simulator and select different graphics, scenery or traffic settings" I even reinstalled the original file supplied with FSX, but the same message continues to appear within each time FSX starts up. To make matters worse my FSX DVD won't load anymore, which makes i…

Is there a fix available that makes the PAPI and VASI lights only visible in the correct arc and somewhat less bright? I'm always annoyed by the way that those lights mark the location of an otherwise obscure airport from 10 miles out. Thanks

Hi people Im having nightmares to reinstall/uninstall this mod so any help will be appreciated! The point is that I know something went wrong so I decided to reinstall the above mentioned mod exe, with a final message telling me that: anoteher version of this product was already installed and I need first to uninstall it. Ok..... but when I try to uninstall it it says: Source file not found :C\Windows\installer\disk1.cab. Verify that the file exists and that you can acces it. So Im lost on how to proceed. Thanks in advance

Hello, I'm getting ready to add traffic to FSX and I was wondering if you guys could give me some addon recommedations. When I had FS9 installed, I used WoAI and I've used it with FSX before I had to do a Windows. I like WoAI but there are a few things that bug me. For example, there isn't a Fedex AI package and a lot of the packages are out of date. This is why I'm thinking about possibly trying some other traffic addons. I almost always fly airliners and I usually run the traffic at 40-45% and I need something that's not too heavy on the fps. Real-world schedules are nice but they're not required. GA and Military traffic are also optional. Many thanks in advance…

Hi, I have a problem with my fsx water textures. As you could see in the screen shot, the water textures has been replaced by land textures. I have sereval orbx Addons installed, but I dont have UTX installed. THe fresh install of the fsx doesnt solve the problem. Could you kindly help me to find a solution please? Thank you very much

seriously it looks way better from every height or distance. Looks better than Mega Scenery X. It just would make things so much better if my fsx would be made of google earth. Has anyone looked into doing this?
