Looks like a great product. I have a few questions"XPax is designed to run ALONG-SIDE FS and automatically senses when certain phases of the flight take place, launching appropriate events, audio and video."1. In regards to the quote, does XPAX run inside FSX while its running or do you need to exit fullscreen mode to access the program? 2. Is XPAX compatible with FS2Crew? it seems there may be some crossover of what these programs can do.3. This may be a silly question but is the program compatable with advanced addons like PMDG and Level-D?Thanks.

Hello,XPAX will not install unless it finds FSX.EXE on your computer. If FS9 is the only installation on your computer, you will not be able to install XPAX. The installation of XPAX will never finish, because it needs to find your FSX.EXE file, which does not exist. Since XPAX never finishes the install, you have no XPAX.CFG file to edit.The only way around this, until its corrected by HiFi, is if you own FSX, and its just not installed on your computer, copy the FSX.EXE file into your FS9 directory. Install XPAX and point it to your FS9 directory.Once installed, you can remove the FSX.EXE file.Now you must edit the XPAX.CFG file and tell it you have FS9 installed inst…

In fact, here's the short list of aircraft directories it did find and import (i.e. these are the folders in my C:Documents and SettingsUserApplication DataHiFiAirplanesFSX folder)...- CLS_A345- CLS_A346_56- CLS_A346_556- FriendlyPanels c675- FriendlyPanels c675 Amphibian- FSD Seneca V- LH_Airbus_A321- MD11AOM- Opensky CRJ-200- Opensky_747-400-LufthansaAs you can see XPax missed ALL my default FSX aircraft and I even have FSX Deluxe. Other 3rd party folders in my C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator XSimObjectsAirplanes folder that XPax missed...- 757-200_Captain- CLS_A330_200_GE- CLS_A330_200_PW- CLS_A330_200_RR- CLS_A330_300_GE- CLS_A330_300_PW- CLS_…

I like that XPAX omitted some of the more game-like aspects that FSPassengers had, such as war zones. But, there are a couple of things I don't see and I'm not sure if I've missed them or they aren't there. Is there a way to get a more formatted report in printable form that sumarizes the flight rather than giving a blow by blow list of events?Also, is there a way to turn off the sound events only for the in terminal stuff like boarding? If I'm sitting in the cockpit, I would not normally hear the terminal noise. Of course, I'd still want to hear what is going on in the plane.TIA

I cannot manage to install x-pax for FS2004. I get this message after clicking the X-pax desktop icon:- FSX installation path read error......... Navigate to your Flightsimulator X Folder in the next screen. (see documentation section 'Using X Elemantal' for details) -I do not have FSX installed. I have FS2004 istalled.I have registerd version of FSUIPC ( currently version 3.768 )Thanks for assistance, Carl

Anyway to pick up in the middle of a saved flight? or just fire it up inflight?

Is there any kind of sequence that triggers when the pushback begins? Because it just stayed there saying pushback until I took off.

Hi All,If you get a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error at startup or when viewing the aircraft screen, here are 2 possible fixes:1. Find and open your XPAX.cfg file. In there add a backslash to the end of the FS Path line. This is located in C:UsersusernameAppDataRoamingHiFiXPax (vista) or C:Documents and SettingsusernameApplication DataHiFi XPax (xp)If that doesn't work:2. Search your system registry for FSX SetupPath and add the backslash to the end.Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Finished my first complete flight. At the very end, after deplaning was complete I received an "Index Out of Range" error, with the option to continue or quit. I tried continue but the error just kept coming back.Also, I see in another thread the mentions of "XPAX.cfg" file - I did a system search and found no such file on either my main FS computer or the client I'm running XPax from (FS9).Thanks.Joe Lorencerror details:See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.************** Exception Text **************System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array. at XPax.Main_Control.T…

Just finished my first flight, and I noticed that XPax registered two flights. The first when I parked at the gate after landing, then a second time after deplaning. A bug, perhaps?

Hi, I just got ASX configured on a second computer from FSX. They seem to communicate, I can see the updated position of my plane in ASX, and ASX says it is connected and updating weather, both on its own screen, and in FSX. However, the "beginning initial update..." scrolling message is immediately followed by a "depiction complete", and the weather has not changed. It is easy to notice, as the visibility is close to zero atm. (ENGM)Any suggestions?

Hello again.I started a second thread so as to keep actual support issues separate from suggestions, etc. Hope that's OK.Payload options - - It would be wonderful to be able to specify the actual weights used per pax, and also, luggage allowance per pax. This isn't as nitpicky as it may sound, the reason being, that most if not all of the load editors that are supplied with various 3rd party aircraft, tend to use different weights. It would be nice to be able to keep things in sync. - Allowance for an above baggage cargo amount would also be welcome. Even if only as a user entered value that was then applied to the total pax/baggage weight. - The ability to specify which…

Documentation not very clear on this subject. Does XPax change an aircrafts .cfg file? Reason being, I set the fuel load/ZFW with a load editor from either PSS or LDS before I start FS9 with say the PSS757 or LDS767 and thus have an accurate CG% and ZFW for the FMC. Does XPax go in and start changing things in the aircraft.cfg in regards to the ZFW with the passenger load?

Hey all :)First, Happy Holidays to everyone at HiFi, and here's to a successful 2008 for ya. You've certainly earned it. :-beerchug For starters, this is an FS9/WideFS installation.Just finished a test set-up of XPax, and noticed that after cabin secure, the total pax/cargo weight given by XPax is not reflected in the sim.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/182229.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/182230.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/182231.jpgAny ideas ?

Hello. Awhile back there was a procedure thing that showed the necessary steps to get ActiveSky 6.5 to function with FSX. Can anyone tell me if that still exists anywhere? I had it working once but something has changed along the way and I would like to review the steps again.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!

Hello folksI noticed that - even with the latest build - using the Active Skywatch service on 122.00, the value about visibility remains often unread ...That is, the voice says only "visibility ..." followed by no indication ...Quite terrifying, since it happened to me that on few occasions the visibility at destination was really poor !!! Is it something already pointed out by other users ? Is there any fix-patch-workaround I can use ? Thanks and regards,Eugenio

HelloI have 3 programs right now runnings with FSX :-Freetrack-FsForce (Well ok this one is automatic)-Active Sky XSoon I'll have 4 with Xpax. In few month maybe five with some new Hifi software. You see what I mean? :DSo what about having a "Hifi Center" wich contains all Hifi software installed? Is it technically possible?

OK, seems as if XPax is available!Will it run across an FS9 WideFS connection? (or similar)?Thanks,Joe Lorenc

I am running Vista with FSX (SP1) and ASX (Build 1083). Both ASX (default settings) and FSX appear to be working correctly as stand alone programs, but not together. Currently I have FSX at KDAL and ASX appears to be supplying the correct METAR with rain and 1,300 overcast. The METAR for ASX and FSX are in agreement. The problem is the sky is approximately 50% Broken. Another problem I am experiencing is the Winds Aloft. On a recent trip they were reading 250/85, then all of a sudden they will shift to almost the opposite direction at a much lower wind speed. A short time later they will shift back to the correct direction. I feel these two issues are probably rel…
