The Wee Tune Beestie (WTB) is a small applet that sits in the system tray. When you are flying you can then tune into IFC Radio via the com2 radio via 123.45In addition if you are not flying and wish to listen to IFC Radio, then simply right click on the WTB icon in the system tray and select play radio now.The advancement at IFC Radio does not stop there though. After the successful run of the exclusive Microsoft interview recorded at the IFC Birmingham show in December 2006, IFC Radio is in the process of organizing interviews with hardware/software developers, Virtual Airlines, Virtual Sky Systems and ATC areas to better present and promote flight simulation.As of Marc…

I am looking for an add on either to combat fltsim or FS9 for the Avro Lancaster. I have tried some websites and gotten some files but they seem incomplete and won't work.Can anybody help with a decent download in reasonably easy installation. Thanks for any help.

I know it's easy to sit here with no programing ability and say I want this, but here goes. I would like to suggest a utility that when you add an aircraft and select it in the menu would allow you to generate a thumbnail for it in the menu. Thanks

Hi folks,I had a look at the modules (dll) format in FSX demo and it has completely changed since FS9. No more linkage & import table, the modules are exporting a lot of functions now (api.dll has 325 exported symbols). But no help for the programmer now, since the symbol names are non-explicit (the module name plus increasing numbers)The organisation is rather the same, with standard modules (sim1, traffic, g2d, g3d, weather etc), but with some news:api.dll (a huge module, probably for exchanging informations), simprop.dll (dunno what is it, but it is exporting human-readable symbol names) and xuipc (a replacement for FSUIPC?)Does anyone know if the future FSX SDK wi…

has anyone thought of making a R44?? i would LOVE to fly one :Di can make the Repaints for it as im a Founder of the brand new FS Teens Studios ( www.fsteens.com )NOTE: website is up but not finished.

Hi all,Has anyone else been logging the system message for a flight being loading into FSX?So far I've had this message fire when going to the briefing screen, when going between simulation rate of x4 and x8 and back from x8 to x4.Seems a little bizarre to be firing that message all these times?Regards,[email protected] - Home of the Mission Logger add-on for FSX.

I would like to design a approach chart viewer that displays either a .pdf or a .gif file. Not sure if I should use VB or C++ or whether to make it a web based program or a windows app. Any suggestions on what I should start with?Thanks,Chris

Dear friends, during some of my flights, I saw that other pilots were landing on wrong runways, not caring the wind's direction. I wanted to help those pilots, to have them land safely. This also complies to friends that are departing from wrong runway. Sometimes, I even feel hard to choose the true runway. You can download the program from the link I wrote. I hope this works for you. This program also includes the METAR info. This info is retrieved from Internet online as you will see in the program. By the way, please be aware while installing the program. The installer shouldn't change your dll files, even this program has been tested by several friends, they reported …

Anyone know if there is a way to determine if two object crash in FS9?Thanks!Senior Captain, Pier Glass Aviation

This idea is something I have been thinking about for some time. I don't have any computer programming knowledge so maybe it is not feasible. Here it is-- In the flight sim when you want pushback, you use shift-p. I would like to see the pushback vehicle appear in front of the plane when shift-p is pressed and follow it back. It doesn't need to actually push, just APPEAR that it is. When shift-p is pressed the second time it would dissapear. Is this a possibility or not?

hi , don

Does anyone know how to get the facility data out of FS2004, specifically that table in "Create a Flight" that lists region,country, state, city, airport name, and airport code?Someone generously gave me such a table formatted as an Excel spreadsheet several years back, but ~2600 facilities only had airport codes and nothing else. It's far too tedious and time-consuming trying to look them up airport-by-airport in FS.I've looked through the FS SDK stuff, and so far the only thing I've found that comes close is the BGLCompSDK, but that appears to be information to compile new stuff, not extract the info that is already there.I've used TTools CollectAirports.exe, but it do…

Good day all!I am looking for developer who has considerable knowledge on how MSFS data flows, how external modules communicate with fs, etc. Basically i need add-on which supposed to grab some data from fs and then work with it. I will pay reasonable cost for such add-on. If you are interested, please mail me - [email protected] and i will provide you with more obvious objectives.Thank you.

HI: Hello All! I want to use Dplay8 to set up one Host, and when every client join my game, I can get everyone's position. Any tips will be appreciated!

Hello. I am looking for EXPERIENCED C/CPP gauge developers who want to take part in an upcoming payware project. You will be programming a very complex EFIS Suite for our upcoming Embraer 170/190 suite.Oops. Did I just say that out loud? ;)We have obtained an actual line pilot's annotated aircraft operating manual for reference. All systems will be modeled, and when I say all, I mean all! The gauge you will be creating will act as a central processing gauge and will need to interface to several different XML gauges that contain the user interface elements. All XML gauges and panel artwork will be completed by me, your only responsibility is writing the code (a very large …

I'm always looking to expand my horizons, and am interested in talking to people who are looking at setting up new businesses (both real world aviation and/or flightsim related).PM me if you want to chat.Bryan York

Does anyone know of any other sites etc where one can meet like minded people who are interested in developing future products for fsx? Im looking to form a small team for an aircraft line but I do not poses all the skills required. I am a graphics and modeling guy and have been doing it for many years but I would like to meet other skilled model makers and guage guys etc to bring my ideas to life and hopfully make us some money along the way. If someone could point me to a better site or forums etc I would greatly appreciate it!Thanks

Hi all,I have some very good recordings of the PW3350 89-A Turbo compound engines that were used for the C119G. I haven't a clue as to how I can make these work in FS. But these are very good recordings and would ideally suit the C119G that exists in the AVSIM library or any other heavy lifter turbo prop.The recordings include:1. two engine starts2. Taxi past mic3. two take - offs4. two fly-by series5. Engine start and run (various RPMs with the plane parked on runway) 6.Interior cargo bay recordings (Take-off, in flight, landing, reverser's)If anyone is interested please contact me at [email protected] am leaving Italy in three days, so please contact me before then.…

Anyone experiment with reading the .gau dll file to say access the resources from an outside program and display a gauge?

I created my application as a dll in the modules dir from the MSFS panels SDK and make calls to "lookup_var" which work fine until I click on "Reset Flight" from the menu. I then get an unhandled exception "Access Violation in PANELS.DLL" or "Sim1.DLL".Anyone else that has worked with the SDK run into this type of problem? What should I be looking for in order to prevent calls to "lookup_var" while the sim is reseting or loading?Thanks for any assistance.

In-flight radio!I know there are terrific radio/cd guages out there... to thus far there is no dynamic to them. By that I mean .. great for CDs... and the radio .. pre-selected files. But might their be a way to bring internet radio into the occkpit?Most allof us are on some for of always on-line internet ... be it DSL or Cable. For cockpit music and in general .. I perfer Winnamp ... as they offer a nice choice in internet radio. Thier new player is a very nice modest sized affair. I always though this would be perfect for inside the cockpit as a "positionable guage"... meaning as with the CD/Radio player ... you can simply move it to a spot of choice.Is it possible for …

Hello, I am wondering if a totally new 3D animated water/ocean model can be created and replace the default 2D water/ocean model in FS2004? Also, is it possible to delete all cities that are not on a coastline? I ask this because I am trying to see if FS2004 can be altered and converted into a maritime simulation game, by deleting all sceneries that do not apply to boating and creating a new 3D animated ocean with wave type options, etc... Can all or any of this be done by a programmer? Are the proper files to achieve this accessible? I already know that FSX will have waves in the oceans but I do not plan to purchase FSX since I have already invested so much time tweaking…

I ve been increasingly interested in learning how people texture the runway, and in that case the airport. Do people do it with afcad or do you need to create a bgl of the airport using a 3d programm?

Hello everyone. I just like to introduce myself. I am Jessy Corrales and I am one of the very few people in the FS community that spend time on developing car addons for the FS series. I already at least 5 years of 3D modeling experience using Gmax. I also specialize in texture development, and panel design.Originally, I was interested in aircraft modeling, but I found out that my skills are better suited for car modeling (don't ask, it just occured to me). I have also created a website can serve as home for future car addons. If you want, you can visit my site at www.flightsimgroundvehicles.comJust remember that I'm not the only one who specialize in this area. There are…
