Hi All, Would It be possible to use netbooks to run a software such as remoteflight so I can use my netbook as a display? If not, is there a similar software that is free? (I have remoteflight already on my ios device) Thanks, -IrishAirline99

Hey guys, Just making a repaint of WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) private jet. This is my first ever repaint and i am just wondering can i upload the WWE logo onto the plane or would that be against copyright? Thank you Ryan

Before I ask this please understand I am not a programmer so my terminology may be way off. Here goes... Is there a utility or way to capture an eventID/tag/message that is happening within P3D? I am doing research for one of my programmers to see if there is some way to capture a message that is not published in the SDK. The event would be when a user selects 'Active Runway' when he selects an airport. I am not looking for all the algorithms or formulas that decide just what is the active runway. I want to catch the message way before that. The message that says "I want the active runway". Any way I can capture that? Thx, Clutch

I recently came across an XML gauge for a digital readout that did not use a bitmap file as a background. The gauge displayed as a row of numbers on a clear background. I am familiar with making digital gauges to display all types of readouts, but I have always used a background bitmap either opaque or clear. I would normally use something equivalent to the following..... <Image Name="DigBkg.bmp" ImageSizes="100,20"/> I cannot remember (nor can I find the particular gauge) that shows me how to create the same gauge without the bitmap but ending up with a clear background. From memory it was something like..... <GaugeSizes="100,20"/> Can…

Hello everyone. I was loking for a freeware model for the Airbus A300-600 and found the great Airbus model by Harald Nehring, Frank Weiss 2004. I was actually looking for the freighter model to do a repaint for FedEX Express. I was not able to find the freighter model, because I needed the cargo door. The link for the model is no longer available in the Avsim library, but, I've been able to use the regular passenger version and closed all passenger windows to make it visible when flying at night. While testing the model during night flying I noticed there were no files for the night lights. I was able to adjust the textures for the middle fuselage so that the landing gea…

Hi I found some youtube videos, where they had a real looking window mask in the wingview, so that it really looked like you were sitting in the plane and you can see small parts of the cabin and the windows. How can I get it? I hope you understand what i mean:) Thank you!

I have seen this subject mentioned before and was hoping Gypsy Baron or some one could walk me through getting this accomplished

Hey guys, They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I can't explain what this look like but maybe someone can help fix it. In FSX-11, the names or labels are not correct. In FSX-12 the aircraft is just a frame. Thanks in advance James

anyone can help me how to fix it?? its PA A320 Aegean Airlines SX-DVL and the texture file:

Hi all, I know this isn't typically the remit of flight simulator chat but I was hoping for a bit of advice if anybody here is a coder. I've just finished my first year on a Software Engineering course and have only just really began programming (First year was concerned with computational theory, algorithms etc and introductory boolean logic) and I'm now working toward a solid grasp of Java. Anyway, what I am trying to build at the moment is a trainer for a specific aircraft with an explanation of what is happening at at each stage of startup. At the moment it's command line based but I'll put in a GUI toward the end. It won't be particularly useful but it's…

Is there a way to make xml 2d panel icons to call up a particular camera definitions? Thanks, Bob.

Hi Folks, I've made my share of panel mods over the years - gauge swaps - modified bitmaps - points of view - and - I've even read the Panel SDK guide... One thing I'm having a little trouble with is tweaking the point of vew... Now I've always worked in the "panel.cfg" to make these changes... What I'm trying to do is make both the 2D and 3D panel coincide to the same point in space - so I see the same real estate out the window when I toggle between views... How I adjust this - is to start in the 3D view and move it to the desired position - then - I look at the 2D view to see if the view allows the same point of the tarmac to be visible... With the current mod I'm …

Hi Guys; I want to split each table separately how can i do that ?I made a few attempts but its not reading. Sorry for my bad english. <Gauge Name="Tablo10_Logic" Version="1.0"> <Element> <Position X="0" Y="0"/> <Select> <Value> (A:Elevator Trim Position, degrees) 5 < (A:Airspeed select indicated or true,knots) 108 < (L:PITANIE_NA_BORTU,bool) and and </Value> <Case Value="1"> <Image Name="tablo_prover_ugol_stab.bmp" Bright="Yes" ImageSizes="32,15"/> </Case> </Select> </Element> <Element> <Position X="66" Y="1"/> <Select>…

Hoping someone here could advise. I want to update the panel on one of my favourite freeware aircraft, the Dassault Falcon 50. Using FS Panel Studio I have been trying to find a GPS unit I can add permanently to the 2D panel view (replacing the non-functioning weather radar) but am having trouble finding the GPS units used in default FSX aircraft. Any ideas as to what cab file I should be looking in or are they stored somewhere else in FSX? Thanks, Adam

Ive got a few game breaking bugs on the B-29 love the plane just theres an odd bug in the starter as in dont let ur mixture be off fuel selectors or mags or youll go for a wild ride the carenado c185 had the sam ebug before updates also teh battery if u dont use batx drains like ntohign else can someone help?

Previously, we had the ability to create and use Custom EventIDs in this range: // Third parties can use custom events in this range to communicate between 3D VC's and 2D C++ gauges. #define THIRD_PARTY_EVENT_ID_MIN 0x00011000 #define THIRD_PARTY_EVENT_ID_MAX 0x0001FFFFI've notice that this no longer seems to work: <MouseRect> <Cursor>Hand</Cursor> <MouseFlags>LeftSingle</MouseFlags> <EventID>0x11009</EventID> </MouseRect>However, this does work (assuming we have an event handler) <MouseRect> <Cursor>Hand</Cursor> <MouseFlags>LeftSing…

Seems it will be released an "professional" Airbus A380, of a producer called "Genuine Simulation". Does anyone know anything else? Site: http://www.genuinesimulation.com/

Hi All: I have written the author but have not received a reply, so I thought I'd toss this out here hoping for an answer. When powering up the panel from a cold and dark setting, the altimeter reads an already set figure of 10,000 feet. When I reset that to 0 feet and then save the flight, when calling that saved flight again, the altimeter has reverted back to 10,000 feet. I checked the aircraft cfg file but can not find any setting that displays 10,000 feet. Is it possible to change this default setting of 10,000 feet, and if so how is it done? I would like to be able to start from a cold and dark setting with the altimeter showing 0 feet instead of 10,000 feet…

Holgar Maass had coded a wonderful gauge for FS9/FSX which provided an in-cockpit taxiway layout in a GPS type gauge. Unfortunately, Windows 7 users (including myself) were not able to use this gauge. I have extensively searched various forums for a remedy to the solution and on not finding any, tried some debugging myself. I'm happy to report that the issue is caused by the 'security settings' of the Windows 7. By default, the gauge automatically installs to ...../Program Files (X86)/Mahosoft/Airport Chart Gauge. Since the install folder is located in the 'program files (x86)' folder, windows restricts access to any sub-folder in this folder. After installi…

Made a mistake posting this in this forum. Can you (moderator), please, move it to where it should be? UPD: I have reposted it in MS FSX forum by myself. Hello avsim.net community. I have a problem with camera switch. To be short: when I press "S" using default camera, views are being switched with a short flickering. Something like, for a part of a second it's being reset, and continues to change the view after in a normal way. So to explain better, here's algorhythm: 1. keypress "S" or "Shift+S"; 2. view changes to what it should be \0,1 sec\; 3. view flickers\resetting itself on chosen position \0,1 sec\; 4. view switches what it should be switched to (e.g. …

Is it possible to use the XML GPS variables to set a flight plan that isn't direct to, direct to destination? As though it is an actual flight plan?

Hey guys,My real name is Shane Olguin, and I'm a payware developer for FSX. I do flight models and configurations. I would really like to assemble a team of payware developers and come out with a killer L-1011 for FSX. I'm talking flight model, 2D panel, VC, gauge coding, you name it. I want this to be a high-quality release. I am capable of high fidelity flight models up to the very limit of the FS engine, but I have no experience with sounds, panels, 3D design, or gauge coding. I'm sending this feeler out here to see who's interested. Reply, PM, or email me with your resume and let's see if we can assemble a team of hungry developers who want to make an awesome pr…

Hi, Is there a difference for clickspots in FSX vs FS9 ? <Gauge Name="gps" Version="1.0"> <Update Frequency="1"/> <Mouse> <Cursor Type="Hand"/> <Click>555 (>K:PANEL_ID_TOGGLE)</Click> </Mouse> </Gauge> This always worked in FS9, but not in FSX.

Hi. Just wondering. I have EZDOK and find it hard to remember the keystrokes to move around the virtual cockpit. Is it possible to add clickspot areas to the panels, to move around the virtual cockpit?
