Hello developers, Do you think that having an error in the Navigraph database is possible? It would be surprising, I know they are serious developers and their automatic database generation process proved to be efficient. nevertheless, I have a doubt. I was with a friend, an A320 professional pilot, and we were having a look at the charts and the way they are related to the information in the database. As an example, we were looking at Split (LDSP), looking at the STARs and approaches. We were looking at the OKLAX 1Y RNAV STAR on runway 23 followed by the RNAV Visual 23 approach, and this is where I found a possible problem. Looking at the chart, after the L…

Can someone help me? I am testing the Project Magenta Offset $04E8 in a Sioc Script, which as I understand the script variable associated with that Offset should show the speed of the plane in MACH. The Offset corresponding to IAS speed, $04E0, works correctly for me, that is, it shows the current speed in IAS, however, the MACH does not show anything. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what. Thanks for any help

Does anyone know if this can be adapted to work with P3Dv4... or if there is something else similar available. I have a Windows tablet and want to put it in front of the main sim monitor and be able to press the touchscreen to move switches in the aircraft - lights , flaps , gear radios etc... This would save me having to build another button box and the Layout could be configurable for different aircraft. https://www.fsopen.co.uk/downloads/opencontrol/ Thanks for any advice and ideas. PS- Unfortunately the designer of this is not supporting it and a lot of info is gradually disappearing from the website...

Hi, I've recently downloaded Ultimate Traffic Live for FSX steam edition and I am having a few difficulties with the AI traffic textures. When parked next to AI traffic up close, it's fine. However if you zoom out to take a wider look at the airport and other AI traffic, the textures for the aircraft are awfully blurry? My default AI traffic (Orbit airlines, world travel etc) also used to look this way too. I've looked online and this doesn't seem to be a common fault. I can't seem to see anyone else having the same issues. I don't believe it to be my specs either:Ryzen 7 and 2060 RTX Graphics Card. If anyone could provide me with the fix for this the…

Hello. If anyone uses Ultimate Traffic Live. I just installed. I notice I don't see any moving jetways on aircrafts. How can I get this to work? Also does UTL work with default ATC or connect with it in P3D? I don't really see a lot of action or any planes taxing to and from gate.

Hi! Does anyone know what happened to Suprunov Design? Thank you so much. Sincerely, Connor Richey

i ran xorganizer and it said i had about 12 files that needed attn. i discarded all and yet when i run xorg again it says the same thing with the same files. is that the way it is supposed to work? if i open scenery.ini they're listed as disabled. if you can help it'd be great. thanks.

I am looking for an experienced 3d modeler with an eye for detail to become part of a new team standing to produce a small commercial jet aircraft. This is the last position to be filled as part of the founding members.PM me if you are interested and can provide examples of your work.

Hello, Does anyone know if the FSXFlight addon from https://fsxflight.com/ has been discontinued? I've tried contacting them with the email on their webpage with no response. Are there any other programs available to link up FSX and Foreflight? Thanks!

Rob, When I started programing I was doing Assembly and Fortran using punch cards and when I retired a couple of years ago we were using Julia to build our models. Yea, I know I'm old. 🤣

Any Idea of where to post for searching for Avionics Developers for an upcoming project?

Hey all, so I'm currently developing Mineta San Jose international airport (KSJC) for Prepar3D v4 and I do have some sort of proficiency with 3D modelling. However, texturing is something I'm worried about. It's not really how to make UVs or how to make them show in-sim (as I know the basics and essentials on how to do that) i want to know your methods of obtaining / making these textures, (whether form Google Maps, using Photoshop, substance painter, etc...) I would also like to know what's your method of actually placing the textures on your scenery. Do you make a UV in 3DSMax and import it to Photoshop? Do you make the model and import it to Sketchup then p…

I am hoping that this is the right place to ask a question about GSX/GSX 2 and Manfred C-47. When it comes to boarding and deboarding the C-47, only the crew will leave or board the plane. I've asked about this as FSDT forum and they say the plane is flagged as cargo and that is why no passengers can be seen getting off or one the plane. I've tried to adjust the load settings that would trigger some animated passenger activity but only see a loadmaster and pilot/copilot get off/on the place. If anyone can shed some light on what it would take for GSX to trigger passengers to deboard/board the plane I would appreciate how to fix this issue. Th…

Hello guys, what's up? I want to know if anyone has a list of all LVARS from airbus A320. I didin't it find anywhere. Best regards

Hey Guys so i recently bought , a new airplane from Carenado and i have this issue If i load up the model with all the systems and the screens closed , i am getting a solid 50 fps , as soon as i turn the batteries on , the fps drops from 50 to 0.3 - 0.5 Please help me guys !!! :( . I Never had anything like this , with the previous carenado planes i bought . I am getting frustrated cause i am thinking i spent my money for nothing . I have a good laptop , i am not saying it's the best , of course it's not , i have an Intel core i7 at 2.20 GhZ , my graphics card is : Nvidea Geforce GT 740M , A RAM that is 8 GB and windows 7 64 bit , i am also running the 32 bit version o…

in 2015 Manfred Siedler wrote an extensive tutorial on how to create your own AI ship traffic (with Henrik Nielsens ) for FSX and P3D. Since then Manfred hadn't found the time to translate the tutorial , it was only available in German Now Manfred has revised the brochure and translated it into English. Both versions can now be downloaded from SimDocks-website without registration. By the way, if you want to share your ship routes with the community, you will find a special area in the SimDocks forum, where forum members make their routes available for free download in German and English .

We have compiled out from the SimInSDK, a ground friction static library for P3D v4 (These are the VS2017 builds, for earlier builds - VS2015/2013 just PM me) The code auto-updates itself, so no need for recompilation of this lib for future P3D upgrades ! To use is it really simple: 1) Include the header in your VS project and then 2) link the lib (just pick up the one you need, MD / MDd / MTd / MDd) #include "GroundFriction.h" #pragma comment(lib, "GroundFrictionMDd.lib") To use it do: GroundFriction *pGF = new GroundFriction(); double friction = 1.3; pGF->SetGroundFrictionValue(WHEEL_CONCRETE_ROLLING_FRICTION, friction); //Then to read…

I started getting into real-world flight plans. I want to first try out the "vanilla Microsoft" approach, thus I want to make flight plans using the TrafficToolbox SDK. Here is where I get tripped. I created a arrivals/departures database from my local (major) airport's website, and have a real-world AFCAD for it as well. (funny thing, after I did this, they changed the website and do not offer complete timetable anymore, I did it by extracting data with in-browser JavaScript). Then I create a CustomRoutes-like file. Sure enough, it compiles. But 99 lines in, it fails to find parking spots. Now, here's the conundrum: I get it can't find parking spots, …

In the past, I was able to successfully add "Hernando County" to my KBKV AFCAD so that ATC announced the name, but I forgot how I did it. The old AFCAD still works in P3D v4.4. ATC says Hernando County Tower so I know it works, but now have a new AFCAD and for the life of me I don't remember what I did. Can someone please refresh my memory. Thanks. Jose

Hi, Here is a tutorial on querying for vector Data in the simulator using the SimIn API. Vector data includes roads, bodies of water, powerlines, and other linear features that are blended on top of the terrain data. The raw data returned from SimIn could be used for many purposes, such as a moving map or display. This is a continuation of the SimIn tutorial started here: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/544758-using-simin-sdk-to-query-facitities-data Step 1. Setup your project according to the steps in the above facilities tutorial, up to Step 4. Once you have your .cpp file setup with headers the module initialization, you are ready to add the code to q…

Hi All, Just to follow the announcement, we are posting a quick example (6 Step setup only!) on how to use the SimIn SDK to query facility data. Save the SimIn (x32 or x64) DLL in the same path of where your project DLL will be deployed. Step 1 Set Up the Project Preprocessor defines. Right click on your project. Select Properties. You should see the below menu where you can navigate to Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Preprocessor. In this case we need to define SIMINDLL to tell the .h header we will be loading a DLL. Step 2 Include the .h files, in this case the ISimInSDK.h is necessary for all the services and we …

I'm not affiliated with this product at all, I'm just sharing my experience with a tool I've used to work with P3D's SDK (CHM files). The tool is called Dr. Explain and it can open CHM's and convert allow you to edit the CHM directly and save back to CHM or other formats (PDF, HTML). I find the tool extremely useful for searching and adding my own notes and documentation and/or corrects. Dr. Explain is payware - the advanced version is $290 US. After years of begging for a more modern formats for deployment of P3D documentation and nothing happening, I finally caved and found something that is extremely useful to me (and I hope others). As we all know the P3D SD…

Hello users of SPAD.neXt, I'm a few days away from the expiry date of this wonderful application's trial version. After reading the documentation available which focusses primarily on 'how to get started', I was able to get Spad.neXt, for example, to not turn on the Radio and Multi panels unless both the Battery and Avionics switches are ON, turn the Flight Instrument panels ON only when the Battery switch is activated (that's probablly not realistic!), and assign the Auto Throttle switch on the Multi panel to engage and disengage the Parking Brakes in the C172. I truly appreciate the depth of this application. I also read many posts on Spad.neXt's forum and thi…

Hello to everyone: I have been creating my own artificial traffic in fsx for a short time. When i try to register it, it is a bit mess. i would like to know if exist any little program to that or people ussualy do that in an excel, because at the end i accumule to much flight plans. And another question: someone knows about any kind of radar to watch all my traffics flying, like the programs used by ivao or vatsim. Thanks so much and greetings to all...
