    HiI purchased activsky when it first came out and loved the program straight away, Well, I went and purchased XPAX and have had it a few days and apart from a few known issues with FS9 I again love the program. Very well designed interface. Thanks Team for yet another outstanding product. May I also wish you the very best for the new year, may it be very prosperous.Looking forward to any other programs you may have on the horizon. Regards Jason a very satisfied customer. :-)

  2. Hi,Is there any way to set up ASV6.5 so that I can have both the following:(a) I can negotiate difficult weather enroute (eg thunderstorms) without it suddenly disappearing and making my path offset useless.(:( When the weather is bad at my destination, I can hold in the hope the weather gets better (with ASV depicting changes if it does get better).Cheers for any help!Bryn.

    HiJust wanted to know how things are going there. I bought Xpax one or two days after it was released and I'm still unable to use it. Made like 5 flights with it, 4 ended in crash, only one is saved in Xpax. Plus all other things mentioned like the ability to save state and save a custom aircraft scheme. This software is still in stand-by on my hard disk. Maybe we could have some progressive fixes instead of waiting for SP? Alex

    Hi guys, can't tell you how much I enjoy your passenger simulator and so you know, I have been a long time FsP user. Yes, I like their program, but wanted something that was in between and focused mostly on the passenger side and you came along with XPax, perfect.I fly a lot and am a real world pilot. I would like to make some small suggestions but would be greatly helpful in using your program to emulate all the passenger related issues.Here are a few suggestions, most I am sure you are already looking into, but thought it couldn't hurt to give you some feedback as a regular product user.1. The ability to save my preferences, especially in the default crew messages, th…

    Why make it so hard for people that wishes to reinstall your products? I have kept the downloads, but apparently you can't get a hold of your license key without requesting a re-download.Why not simply include the license key in the email you send out, or in the order details page on your website?

    I have ASX and XG loaded and working great with Vista and FSX SP1. If I install Xguage thru the gauge wizard, FSX crashes before it will start. When I try to start FSX the warning screen comes up about the gauge, but FSX crashes before I can tell it to run the gauge and the maker is a trusted source. While the warning screen is on the window it does not display the "run any way "option. FSX appears to continue to load and then crashes back to the desktop.I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but I still have the same problem. Is there a security setting I need to change?Thanks for your help.

    Hello! I purchased XPax yesterday and have enjoyed two flights that went off "without a hitch!" I do have a few questions: what is the fuction of the com 1 and frequency boxes on the settings screen, and is there a complied list of everything that can cause the passenger satisfaction rating to go down? So far, I have only been given the "taxiing too fast" penalty, but sometimes the passenger satisfaction rating seems to go dowm without any apparent reason. Thanks for a great product, and I look forward to the next!Paul

    Hi guys,Been using your program for years now without any problems at all.Recently though I was plagued with a virus and some of the steps I had to take was run several virus checkers. Unfortunately I forgot about the chilkat.dll being legit and it was removed by a virus checker. I need this back as a minimum.I went to my software backups and find that I have loads of original files and updates from v5 up to the latest version.Is there a way I can just download the latest 6.5 version so if this happens again I can load it quickly and simply in staed of trying to work out the upgrade path from version 5. I still have my order number etc to prove purchase.ThanksGraham

    I know there are some threads on this already, but I have already tried to fix this problem using the fixes listed there. I tried changing to the Default FSX landing lights AND using the High Intensity lights, and unchecking the landing lights option in the Advanced Options tab, as well as various combinations of the above, but to no effect.Has anyone else tried these fixes and failed? If anyone else can think of something to try, I would certainly appreciate it!Thanks!

    Does nothing at present but I would love to see this as well. What I do is load with default fuel and weights and then let the passengers load. Once onboard I get the weights and manually enter into the sim using the appropriate program (PMDG LoadManager for 744X or FSX weights for PIC737) and then do all the other stuff with the FMC from there. Hope this feature is high on the list though. May be hard given 3rd party load managers.John Veldthuishttp://www.virtualpilots.org/signatures/vpa475.png

    I just cant get ASX to work right... I just completed a flight from the Phoenix area to Denver. Weather is horrible nearly the whole way. According to the METARS (as viewed in ASX) it was overcast skies the entire way... Of course if you were in my plane it appeared to be clear skies (see attached) screen shot.Then when I am coming in for landing, i get past the outer marker and I can see the field fine, then when I pass a certain magic altitude (which was about 500 feet AGL) visibility goes instantly from an unrealistic miles, to what the metar said (1/4 mile). Naturally this screwed up my landing.I then restarted FSX and ASX to see if it helped any and it was screwed up…
