I know this is not the UT Live support forum, but there are a lot of knowledgeable users here. Perhaps someone will have some information that will help me. I am also posting this in the UT support forum.I just purchased and installed UT Live. The installation went smoothly without errors and I followed the InstallGuide to the letter. After the installation completed, I started UT Live and proceeded to configure it as per the InstallGuide - set the UI to run as an administrator, started UT Live and checked that Dovetail Games FSX Steam Edition is the current active flight simulator and attempted to start the simulation.First problem - the hide/expand/close options are not…

Good afternoon, I'm trying to get some USCG AI around Alaska. I've found a couple packages, but they all require the Dolphin offered by Hovercontrol. The website is down and looking at some of the posts on here, it looks like it is no longer in operation. I've tried the regular places, but does anyone know of where I can find the AI MH-65? I was able to find one that is controllable, but worry that that may actually not work all that well as an AI helicopter. Thank you, Colin Gray

Is there any add-on, freeware or other, which improves the default autogen houses in UK to provide more 'brick' built houses? It seems the majority of autogen houses have whitewash walls which is so unrealistic, in UK and most of northern Europe. Cheers, Stuart

Hi guys, On some flights I have been having issues with terrain loading, specifically when using a airliner addon (lately with the PMDG 777, but also happens with the level-d 767) wherein the aircraft "pauses" and struggles momentarily during a turn during climbout, apparently while the terrain loads/adjusts resolution. Then when the terrain loads the aircraft rushes its turn to catch up to where it was supposed to be, literally as if something held it up then released it. Then it continues doing so until its straightens out on a heading. Basically the airplane stops what its doing while it waits for the terrain to load. The sim doesnt freeze or stutter bu…

Hello, I'm Brazilian and I'm having difficulty installing SP2, because my FSX is translated into my native language, I need someone to make me back up the files in English. If anyone could help me, I would be grateful.

I am running FSX Acceleration, and when I switch on the batteries, I get a PWR FAIL warning which inhibits most of the illuminations on the panel. (DG, NAV, SAS, Annunciator Panel and no ext or int lights. There is a button "EXT PWR" next to the button which illuminates as PWR FAIL, but when you click on this nothing happens. You can start the engines and the REVS and TORQUE gauges work, but not the FUEL FLOW gauge. I am wondering whether anyone out there has experienced this, and can offer an explanation please.

Greetings, I've lately been having a problem with my fsx and it is every time I program a flight from Beijing Capital Airport (ZBAA), start it and after a little while start taxiing towards the runway, at any moment during the taxi procedure the game freezes and I get the out of memory error. I've then tried using the airport with minimum settings (and with minimum I mean completely minimum, it looks horrible), and been able to take off from it successfully. The thing is, I don't want to have to take off or land at an airport with no terminals and made up of asphalt only, especially if it's Beijing International Airport we're talking about, and the weird thing about …

Hi Any ideas why the surface of the airport changes the surface colours(anomalis) depends on distance. FSX DX9 For example LOWL from Justsim/SODE This airport was made for fsx first but i guess some of them are not really compatible to fsx. Cheers https://youtu.be/V6aplRBab1Y Max

I would like to delete most of the pre-installed standard aircraft from FSX-SE. I rarely fly any of them, including all of the helicopters, and they just clutter up FSX-SE. The same is true of a lot of standard sceneries. The problem I have is that the first one I tried, the Microlight, turned out to be critical to the running of FSX - it wouldn't work without it. Does anyone know what can be safely deleted without causing it to crash?

This problem just started. Set up a flight and notice everything was running in slow motion. Frame rate is ok, but the clock in my aircraft does not keep up to real time. for every minute of real time, aircraft clock will advance about 40 seconds. FSX:SE Windows 7 64 bit. Nvidia GRAFX card. ORBX Global with open LC and Vector. FSXMeshX. What I tired so far. Tried various planes with the same result. Did a file verification on steam and let it run it course. Downloaded and installed the latest video drivers. Deleted the last add-ons I added since my last flight in which the clock was keeping time. restarted the computer a few times. …

Hi all, Today when I was flying I noticed that the upper sky was black. Upon further findings I found that this is due to the cloud draw distance - the greater the cloud draw distance setting, the bigger the black area. I had installed HDEv2 (the clouds, envmap reflection & the ground detail, and got the converted sky textures), i also installed the enbseries included with HDEv2. I had just installed and was using ENB24hr for the past week and I didn't seem to experience this issue. I have spent a few hours trying to solve this such as deleting the converted sky textures and reverting to the original fsx ones, and also removing the enbseries and use ENB24hr,…

Hello Everyone, I recently purchased the Area51 Simulations U-2S for FSX about a week ago and I CANNOT get it to exceed 60,000 feet without great difficulty. I have only been able to do so when I set a.) both the fuel AND payload to “0” and b.) the weather conditions to “clear skies”. In all cases, I have used the autopilot to reach these altitudes. I completely understand that the aircraft requires a great deal of time to cruise-climb to altitude, but other users of the product claim that they are able to reach altitudes in excess of 70-80,000 feet. Is there anything I can do? I have attempted to contact Area51 about this problem, but responses have not been fo…

I was watching a youtube video of a Cessna Citation V. The pilot was not touching the yoke but it was turning left/right in response to his use of the rudder pedals while he was taxiing to the departing runway. One of the video's viewers asked about this and the pilot indicated that this aircraft used an interconnected rudder/aileron, and he only used the yoke to make coordinated turns. I know that some large aircraft (B747 etc.) make turns using the yoke (with no rudder input) and an automated spoiler system on the rising wing to reduce the reverse yaw effect. But does anyone know of any other aircraft besides the Citation V that have an interconnected rud…

Been using FSX for the last 5 years and am still amazed at some of the visuals it produces after all these years. I upgraded to AS2016 from Active Sky Next a couple of years ago and never upgraded the cloud textures as generally am very happy with them. I know there are various add ons on such as ASCA and Rex Soft clouds but I have heard that some of these produce a rather cartoony look which i am not keen on. is there a "go to" product i should be looking at or shouyld i just stick with what i have. ( Run FSX boxed on one pc and FSX SE on another) Kind regards Daz

Hi everyone I am trying to install Scotflight Airports Vol 1/2 and 3 into FSX and for some reason it says that I have to add them manually using the 'Add an Area' within the Scenery Library Can anyone tell me which files need adding from each volume in order for them to show up please ..... I have noticed that in all volumes there is a folder called 'Main' so I guess I need to rename this folder in order for them to show up in the scenery library tree Thanking you in advance Paul

I currently have a freeware weather engine for my Flight Simulator X called FSXWX, which only provides historical weather from the past 365 days. I am looking for a better weather engine for my flight simulator that records historical weather at least 2 to 3 years in the past. I am trying to choose between FSGlobal Real Weather and Active Sky 16 Full Version for FSX. I am not sure which one is more reliable. I read that Active Sky records historical weather from the previous 2 years, and FSGlobal Real Weather does record historical weather data, but doesn't say whether it records data from more than a year in the past. If I want to get historical weather data from mo…

I was just wondering if this is something unique to my system, or if others are seeing them. If it is unique to me, where should I start looking? I've run the Scruffyduck Simple Airport Scanner and it did not find any other KBWI scenery. I disabled KBWI in my scenery library, and the default BWI reappears sans lines. I have also toggled every option in the LatinVFR BWI config tool. I have tried 5m, 2m, and 1m mesh settings as well. They look like might be roads, but up close they look more like a corrupted graphic. In the second picture, you can see that they begin and end within the confines of the scenery. I'm stumped! Help! 🤯

I could use some help. Great update to KMCO but at night only have black boxes where lights should be. I've tried to contact TAXI2Gate serval times no response. I had an addon KMCO in the past and removed it, im pretty sure anyways. Might something still be there that is interfering? Any help would be great

I had a email conversation with Imaginesim to see if they intend to update KAUS similar to the P3DV4 version and was informed they will not be doing anything to the FSX version. I realize they are not the only ones; Flightbeam, 29 Palms, FS Dreamteam and others have made that decision. Is there a list of vendors who will no longer be either creating new products for FSX or updating their FSX products? The stock answer is switch to P3DV4, but frankly at my age it doesn't make economic sense to spend the thousands to support a new platform. Thanks, Ernie

In FSX, I was doing an ILS approach to KDFW 36L and broke out of overcast and was lined up to the left of the runway in a 737-800. I cannot find anything about an offset localizer on the approach plate. I think I am reading it correctly. My question is this a problem with FSX? If it is, can it be fixed by a novice with changing config settings. While on here what can I do about disappearing aircraft with only wheels on tarmac or in VC buttons on cockpit instruments are not visible. Thanks for any help! Lew Block

Dear everybody, A long time ago (in fact since I started using FSX, 10 years ago) I began to notice that water animation had a strange behaviour. Water animation "jumps" very 20 seconds. It´s like a stuttering or flickering but repetitive in time... It´s as if the water animation showed a picture at the beggining of the sequence and at the end as the picture is not the same it seems like "it jumped". I have been trying to determine the reason why this happens, but with any result: restoring fsx.cfg, coming back to NVIDIA Inspector original configuration, uninstalling Ultimate Terrain X / Ground Environment X, installing Bojote´s shader mod 3 (and its waterconstants.x…

Man, I just love how Concorde crashes right? No, but seriously, it's a pain in the butt to get this plane working. I have done many tests with this airplane, and I've read many forum posts about this, and still haven't found an issue, and I just decided to give up. For some reason, I NEVER had a problem with P3D v3. It's just installation, and BOOM, it's working! I'm not too sure why FSX:SE is so unforgiving with this plane, so if anyone wants to fly this, I recommend P3D v3. Test #1 - FAILED Installation completed - No errors Aircraft loaded - No errors Scenario loaded - "Aircraft initialization" message popped up with loading bar - No …

Hi everyone, first of all, sorry if this has been posted before, there are so many posts about autopilot not disconnecting, but none about the autothrottle. When I switch on my autopilot, it switches on everything (including autothrottle) but when I switch it off, only the autothrottle remains on. I have tried everything to try switch this off, but nothing works. It seems to engage right after takeoff by itself sometimes and it only disengages when I touch the ground and have brakes and reversers on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I have the strangest problem: Whenever I use the Page Up & Page Down key the following occurs in the sim (FSX-SE) Page Down: Throttle Lever(s) decreases to IDLE and the Thrust Reverser(s) is engaged; if the throttles are already in idle - thrust reverser(s) engage. Page Up: Throttle Lever(s) advance incrementally; So I checked the key mapping in FSX-SE and there is nothing with page up and page down, I also checked Chaseplane (my camera program) and the page up key is mapped to "MOVE UP" and the page down key is mapped to "MOVE DOWN". I even deleted the key assignments in Chaseplane, but the same results. I also have FSUIPC installed, but NO …
