I just got a set of Saitek Rudder Pedals (Least expensive model) and they seemed to work fine for a couple of flights and then started working like my Saitek Yoke control instead of Rudders...??? When I taxi (Cessnas` etc.) they are all over the place without any "Input"... If I`m at the runway and ready to take off, I power up and the aircraft starts to veer left down the runway everytime and gets completely out of control..which makes Take-Off nearly imposible... When I press the rudder pedals you can see the "Yoke" in the cockpit moving...??? I have reloaded the Saitek CD software and it`s still totally unflyable...??? Any Ideas as to what or how I can resolve thi…

I am missing several aircraft when I fire up FSX and go to the "Select Aircraft" screen. Specifically, the default Maule, Lear45 and the Goose. All these folders are present in my "Airplanes" folder located in my "SimObjects" folder ( entire path is: C:/ Program Files (x86)/ Microsoft Games/ Microsoft Flight Simulator X/ SimObjects/ Airplanes). Fact is, I don't recall them ever being present in the "Select Aircraft" screen and so I can't say I did something to lose them. I have quite a few a/c addons and all are present in the "Airplanes" folder. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks!

Released today, here's a quick look at Just Flight's shiny new English Electric Lightning F6. Us Limeys will be pleased to see this making an appearance in FSX, as this is one of the iconic Cold War interceptors of the RAF and probably the best interceptor of its era. Designed as a point defence interceptor specifically to combat the Tu-95 nuclear bombers of the Warsaw Pact, the Lightning was absolutely insanely fast. Famous for its airshow party trick of going ballistically vertical immediately after take off, then whizzing up to 36,000 feet in less than a minute, the Lightning was the first Mach 2 aircraft capable of supercruising at such high speeds. I was look…

how come everytime im flying my 738 the ground is always hazy like theres all kinds of smog until im down close on approach, is it my settings in ASE or my REX textures?. if so what should i look at to change. thank you

Hello Guys, I've just experienced some realy strange things with various add-on airports. For example on EGLC (the Aerosoft/London VFR one) I have AI aircraft parking obviously wrong, and also the GSX vehicles are located in wrong positions which can easily be seen when I take a look at the taxi/parking markings. On some other airports (especially FSDT's KLAS) I have the default runway textures and taxiway markings shimmering through the add-on textures. I have issues with GSX on these airports as well: The follow-me vehicle drives along the default taxi markings, then the marshaller stands with his back to my aircraft or tries to marshall me somewhere I definitely d…

Hello All I'm attempting to replicate the real world operation of the two parallel runways at Spain's, Palma Mallorca (LEPA) LEPA has two runways: 06L - 24R 06R - 24L When the wind comes from the west, planes should take off from 24R and land on 24L. When the wind blows from the opposite direction, planes should land on 06L and take off from 06R. Currently, LEPA is receiving predominantly westerly direction winds, but I cannot get traffic to land on 24L - all traffic still wants to takeoff and land on 24R, with 24L being completely ignored. Using ADE, I have tried the following: 1) Close 24R for landing - traffic still lands / takes off on 24R; …

I'm trying to install the Delco Carousel INS into the Thomas Ruth DC-10, but the manual isn't particularly clear, and I'm sure I'd mess something up, since I don't know much about the panel.cfg file (besides the very basics). Is there a tutorial on this that's easier to follow? Also, how can I allow it to be coupled to the autopilot? I'm not seeing how that would be possible without messing with the already-present gauges in the DC-10. Thanks, boein247

Hello, I've had FSX for the past 3 years and it has been installed fine since, even onto the new Windows 7 since. I've now purchased the add-on pack Acceleration for it and when I run the install, it is fine until it begins to 'caching files' - at the end of the progress bar when it is 'caching files' it then begins to 'Rolling-back action' and completely stops the install and says - "Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Acceleration is unable to complete the install. Please try again later or run setup again." There is no error message or code and it is does not come up on the 'Event Viewer' - I have tried CCCleaner and trying the install on another account and have…

Does anyone have an ENB bloom mod that either: 1) doesn't kill frames 2) doesn't crash FSX? ....I have tried many that I have found on the forums and other sites....and none seem to deliver the goods without severe performance penalties and/or instability....any help would be appreciated

Just saw this flashing announcement of upcomming OrbX CZST airport: It is just plain incredible... The borders between reality and simulation are starting to fade.. Makes me wonder, where does it stop? Looking at this and other recent releases such as the PMDG NGX, makes me wonder; how much further can the developers stretch FSX' limits?

Here's my situation. It seems my FSX looses it's ATC. For example. I create an IFR plan, get my clearance, taxi out and take off. Sometime in the flight, either before ATC has vectored me on course or slightly afterwards, when I get a radio call to increase altitude or whatever ATC wants me to do. When I pop up the ATC screen, the numbers at the bottom have gone away. The ones you use to acknowledge the ATC request. ATC then keeps calling on me to reply, then cancels IFR . At that point the numbers come back and I can reopen the flight plan and it seems to work. Any Ideas?

Strangest problem, one I have not experienced for myself or read of others having the same thing. Need your help. Had FSX set up on 120g SSD, and FSX on another 120g SSD. Ran out of room on FSX SSD, needing about double the space for all my addons, decided to reinstall FSX on reformatted 640G WD 64-cache Black Caviar. So I reinstalled windows 7-64 on reformatted 120g SSD, and FSX on the 640g. So far, almost done, up to a little under 100g, with about 50% more to do. Went to load REX, but no deal. Here is what happens. I unzip Rex2.0Full. When I click on it , it begins to unload wrapper without presenting form for asking for the Flight Sim stores order number, …

I have been having issues on initial loading of my aircraft. Anyone else ever have this issue or know of a fix? I can't seem to get it corrected at all. Sometimes the plane loads in the air and sometimes the plane loads in the ground...

I recorded a KC-10 flying with the fuel boom extended for a few minutes, then played that as traffic to try and see if I could perform an aerial refuel with an F/A-18, but when I played the file, the fuel boom was no longer extended. Is there a way I could record the fuel boom (which is triggered by Shift+4, like a door) or activate it after playing the file as traffic? Thanks, boeing247

Hi Guys: Jetway (attach/detach) is not listed in the fsx menu to designate a key to not sure why but would like to know how to get it back in the menu as an option, any help would be appreciated. Regards, Rich

The rain in FSX when flying in the virtual cockpits looks really naff. I don't like the way you can see the texture maped onto what looks like a sphere. Does anyboday know where the texture map is in FSX, Then I could maybe tone it down by tweaking the alpha in a DXT editor. If there is a better rain effect for rain in FSX this would also be an option? Best regards Jools

Everytime I move the helecopter it keeps spinning around and around.I also lose a lot of spped.

I'm trying to improve upon an experimental high-mach passenger airliner in FSX (the aircraft is the excellent B7072 from Tim Conrad). I've managed to make it reach mach 4.6 at 75,000 feet in a stable and very controllable way, but I have two problems that I'm not sure how to fix. Problem #1 - It needs too much nose-up to give a certain vertical speed. Basically it's bad enough that I can't see the runway on approach (using normal approach speeds and profiles). How do I do something that effectively increases the wing incidence angle (or makes it look that way)? I basically want the plane to provide more lift for a given apparent pitch (as measured by looking out o…

Please bear with me, I know this is not the CS support forum but because of the nature of the problem, a solution is particularly dependent on as many views and as much participation as possible, not support from CS. The problem: battery seems to drain with APU power, or external power. CS said they will not address the issue until they have 10 or more complaints (lol?) I believe they are not having more complaints because most people start up engines sooner than some of us so the issue doesn't have time to show itself, since they are on APU/GPU power for a shorter time. I'm asking CS737 owners to fire up the APU and stay on APU power for up to 10 minutes. Mo…

Hi guys I am thinking of getting the scenery and looking for some advice.. How heavy on FPS this scenery is?

This news is not mine but from a good site over at http://flightsimbuzz.blogspot.com it seems it seems taxi2gate is developing a KSTL I know for a fact that there were some simmers wanting this airport for a very long time even myself, it looks like the dream is coming true. I don't own personally any taxi2gate scenery and i know a few people have had some problems with there stuff but lets just hope it turns out well its KSTL!!http://taxi2gate.fre...review-t21.htmlLambert-St. Louis International Airport

If we consider only depth of simulation and system moddeling what would be the most advanced airliner available for FSX (or FS9)? In what way and how does it rise over its competitor? If we look into the future could a new winner be coming? Any candidates?
