Hey, I'm not sure if this is the correct area, but nonetheless. So my FSX has a very bad FPS problem, like 5 at most and it makes it very difficult to fly and recently it's been CTD about 5 minutes into a flight, and I have done everything possible to fix it, including the ULL fix. I figure it has something to do with my CFG, my graphics are very low end because I've been trying to get FPS my sacrificing them. Here is my .cfg if anyone could look at it and tweak it or give me some tips, it could very possibly be the computer too, but I don't know where to find my specs.

Hello again fellow simmers! I've seen some videos of the PMDG 737 ngx where people had different custom cabins and seats etc... and windows looking realistic (dirty)...... Could anyone please advise on how to get that? all my cabins with different liveries look the same.... Thank you!!!

Frustrated Pete. I'm a ppl student (real life) and I've just installed MS FSX for practice. My training airfoeld, EGHA Compton Abbas, UK is on the system but looks nothing like the actual airfield. I've downloaded the freeware version of EGHA from Avsim library and it's there in FSX. However, when I follow the instructions andclick on scenery library, then add area, ok but when I then double click on Addon Scenery, instead of the folder egha.compton abbas becoming visible I just get scenery and texture. I can't get past that. My computer skill level is not very high! Any suggestions?

Hi all, Me and my friend want fly the maddog md80 with multicrew. I've read a lot of forums about connecting etc.. but I still have some questions. Do we need the same scenery? And what if my friend is using FSINN and I'm using Squawkbox? Thanks, Daan

Hi everyone, I am having trouble getting Squawkbox 4 to work and I thought I'd post here as the SB forums don't seem to be very active. Basically, I have everything set up and can tune to frequencies and hear other traffic and the controllers speaking, but when I try to transmit I get the annoying buzzer sound that means there is an error and my message is not being recieved. Now I'm fairly sure my mic isn't at fault here as I use it on TeamSpeak regularly and have set it up within SB4. After a look on Google people are saying that it is something to do with port forwarding and stopping the firewall from blocking it and I've tried both of these to no avail. I …

Hi, When I open the multiplayer in FSX and select the PMDG 737NGX for my aircraft, it starts off in the air and is not at the gate where I told it to start. What's the reason for this? Ken.

Hello there. It;s been a while since I posted an event but I was thinking it would be fun to do that world record breaking flight that was done when Boeing was testing the 772 ER. The flight is from Hong Kong (VHHH, Or VHHX if you want an added twist and you have the scenery and skills to pull it off) to London Heathrow (EGLL). The trick is we will be flying Eastward instead of westward. We will cross the Pacific, the continental United States and the Atlantic before touching down at Heathrow some 23 hours later. Here is the flightplan: N0506F290 OCEA2A OCEAN V3 CONGA/N0495F330 V3 ENVAR/N0495F330 M750 MANEP Y753 JAKAL A1 ALBAT/N0485F350 A1 KEC OGASA MORAY/M083F350 34N…

Well I've dipped my toe into FSX MP, but its not going very well so far :-( I've found empty servers, I've talked to myself, I've been kicked for no apparent reason... There seem to be many different and complex ways of setting up FSX for MP, VATSIM, Pilot Assistant, Chocolate, FSINN ... I don't want to go down that route until I know which one is most appropriate so I'm trying to keep it simple. I don't want to dive in and mix it with jets at a major airport, so is there a easy-start GA field somewhere that I can connect to simply where I can do controlled circuits etc to learn the ropes? Any suggestions? Cheers Keith

Hey, So I think pretty much everyone has had this issue at least once. You get a brand new FSX plane and really want to fly it, and although you can get the basics of it, you just can't figure out the autopilot or a particular system. For me the Milviz F-15E is a problem as the autopilot confuses me, as does the weapon system. So maybe there should be a website in which you can book a session with a guy who knows how to fly the plane inside out, so you can chat with the guy and he can teach you everything you need to know about the plane. Thus in this way, people can learn how to fly well/better with that particular plane instead of trial and error. I think this could …

Oftentimes on the weekend, one of my friends will come over, so we'll spend a few hours flying. Something I've noticed, but never thought to ask about until now, is that I've noticed, only during a multiplayer flight, is that upon landing at any airport at all, the jetways don't appear. Is that a bug, or is it intentional? In Single player mode, all the jetways appear at "both" airports (departure and origin). In multiplayer though, only the departure airport ever has jetways. I'm convinced that this can't possibly be "my fault" as far as I'm aware, since all my settings stay exactly the same and is consistently "reproduceable" (both computers and every single airpor…

Fellow MP and shared aircraft simmers, Last evening was sharing the default 738 and using AP and auto throttle IAS mode. Not too long after engaging the IAS mode, set for 230K during climb out, the IAS setting went to zero. We did a couple of legs and regardless of pitch, airspeed, etc, the IAS would revert to zero. Easliy remedied by manually controlling the power, but I am wondering why this might not function. All other AP modes and systems seemed normal. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Has anyone managed to get this to work, with either the NG or the Airbus XE? I've spent much of the evening with my new Saitek throttle mapping the far left lever of the quadrant as a reverse lever and not being very successful. The old faithful 'throttle decrease' key press rather than an axis, via the 'buttons and switches' page of FSUIPC and then 'throttle cut' when released works fine, but it bangs in full reverse which is of course forbidden at many airpors. The 'button' method seems to give you all or nothing. I did try to assign the left most lever to the 'reverser' axis, which works fine on the ground. I get the full range of reverse thrust from idle to full …

I love FSX, but I fly in the real world, so when I play Flight Simulator I'm not always looking to do things exactly the same way I would in real life. Sometimes I want to fly dangerously - low altitude aerobatics, formation flying with other players, flying upside down 5 feet off the runway at 200 knots, flying through mountain passes in a 737, etcetera...but I'm definitely not allowed to do that on VATSIM, and I've been unable to find any servers who offer anything but the "realistic w/ ATC experience". So does anybody know of any "just for fun" servers out there?

I Just had bought Microsoft Flight Simulator X Gold, I've been looking up if it works for Windows 8 a lot of people seem to be having problems. Has anyone else have a crashing problem with it? If so what are my alternatives??

I am using team speak and flying with my virtual squadron. I have my headset set and monitor speakers set for environment sound. My headset gets flooded with engine sounds and I can't hear my flight lead. How can I go about fixing this. Would it be best to use external speakers like I have a set of logitech speakers I could plug in?

Hi guys just wondering if anyone can help. I'm no stranger to flight sims and can usually land and take off using any plane on any sim. My issue is that I'm a total FSX noob with a kick &@($* PC however, with all the power I have, FSX still looks like crap. Everything is choppy and looks like I'm running it on and ancient system. I'm a huge BF3 gamer and I usually get well over 60FPS on high settings in multiplayer. Can someone please referr me to a site that will help me get the most out of FSX GOLD running on an SLI solution? I know that FSX does not support SLI but I'm hoping that there's a slight chance a tweak or small program may exist that …

The other day I was trying shared cockpit with a friend to give him some lessons. The idea of a shared cockpit is really great and very funny to try.But the experience was very frustrating and the voice communication was a total disaster.I've seen that the bitrate options are very strange. They go from a very poor 3,6kbps to a ultra high 128kbps quality.Of course at 3,6k the sound is very pool and at 128k I need a very realiable upstream connection to use it.How is possible that there's not a normal bitrate as 24kbps or 36kbps?Is there some way to force another bitrate not available from the setup menus?This problem and the disconnections are frustrating my online experie…
