Hi All! I have created this utility which can screen capture your FS9/FSX/Prepar3d or any other app, and save it to disk AND/OR upload it to an ftp server (a free account is provided to my server for you to use). You can save/upload by pressing PRTSCREEN or you can use the automated mode and save/upload on defined interval. Also through FSUIPC you can embed FS DATA in your screens that you save or upload. I have created also a section in my FS site where you can freely upload your flight images and let others watch where you are. Freeware. -Can save and/or upload automatically (based on interval) , screenshots from FS9/FSX and/or almost any…

Does anyone know of a good free downloadable source for Nav Aid data? I have been using the downloads from Our Airports, but it lacks waypoints and the slaved mag var values for VOR's are very out of date. Thanks

Hey pilots and developers! I ask myself if there is an developer who have plans for a long haul Airbus? I know that there are some older addons, like the wilco and so on, but what I imagine is a A330 or A380 with the quality of an Aerosoft X Extended or, to reach for the hypothetic stars, the quality of an PMDG plane :-) When I say that I talk about good Systems and Graphics - I love eyecandy and I stand by it ;-) Have anyone infos for such big Airbus liners? Or is it just a dream? Greetings!

I am a beginner software developer... And basically I'm trying to make a sound pack for fsx... Now then... To have the working sounds, this would mean that the sounds were constantly playing in FSX while you were flying INSIDE the aircraft. So I basically want a constant sound inside the aircraft. Now I understand this would mean putting it into the sound folder in the flight simulator aircraft, but I am wondering how I would configure Flight Simulator to play these sounds while the aircraft is Flying and the battery is turned on. I understand that it has something to do with the .Cfg Sound file but I'm unsure what exactly I have to do to it... Could someone help? Thanks!

The new CockpitStatus Edition 2014 (since 2010) (red line = Hdg, Violet line = Bearing to the virtual Wpt at 20nm aligned with Rwy) CockpitStatus is a advanced Radar and Automatic Approach System for FSX using FSUipc.

The Radar-System has been developed paying attention to what a Radar really should be, essential in any detail. This Radar System is also showing the Destination Apt/Rwy at any distance together with all Wpt/Vor/Adf around 100 nm. Radar is evidencing any Ryw with a virtua…

Hi, I have a problem with my FSGRW - it can't find FSX on start-up... until a few minuits it worked, but now - i don`t know why - it doesn`t working... i`ll be glad for help, thx!

Hey guys, not sure if I am in the right place for this, but here goes... I have been running the VA-List for quite a while now and am ready to get more serious with my plans and am planning to deliver a new type of global FS Acars system for Virtual Airlines. Now... I am looking for someone with experience in this fs acars business, who can join the VA-List team indefinitely and provide the coding needed. It will be a big project with features not yet seen. But best of all I will offer financial compensation in one way or another, this can and will be discussed. ;) I do not wish to put all my ideas on the internet right now, and I am looking for people with an…

I would like to add the beeping noise of the trip switches in the metroliner for razbam and i was wondering if someone would be able to help. I am new to the sound side of fsx and i am really interested in learning.

Hey guys, We’re a small team looking to add an additional C# programmer. For the past year we have been working on a new add-on for Lockheed Martin’s Prepar3D flight simulator (and probably FSX down the road), and would like to kick up development a notch or two by adding an additional programmer with C# and some WPF experience. Now this is something we are doing besides our day jobs so we are seeking those who enjoy customizing their flight simulation experience or just like a good programming challenge as their primary motivation. This will be released as payware so we do have a business model in place and would be fully explained before coming on board. And …

Hello Its not related quistion, but I have been seen some of fsx users & some developers uses a classic windows 7 theme or completely classic windows (I dont know, it may millineum but its not win 7) ? Q1 Is they uses a win 7 with classic theme OR uses another classic windows ? Q2 if so, then why they uses these kind or (Mode) of windows during their flighying ? Thx

I'm building an AI carrier in FSDS and I seem to be running in to dead links when it comes to the hard deck creation or I find G-Max answers. I expect I will have a number of questions along the way but for now can someone point me to a fresh tutorial on creating Hard decks in FSDS 3.5.1?

Hello, you guys surely know FSXPand. Is it possible to Change the Magenta route line in nav Display in real time with the CDU during flight or can you only upload the route at start of flight and not Change it later ? I'm using the PMDG 737 Thx ! Regards Andi

Hi all. I was converting some .xml files to the faster .spb type. The SDK comes with simpropcompiler.exe, which is a freaking command prompt (DOS) tool. For your reference, here is the way it worked every time for me. ---- using simpropcompiler; Syntex below to convert .xml to .spb 1. Create a temp folder, and copy simpropcompiler.exe into it. (its in programfiles (86)\microsoft games\microsoft flight simulator\SDK\Core Utilitys Kit\SimProp 2. Copy the .xml files you want to be converted to .spb into the folder also. 3. WIN7, hold the shift key and right mouse click anywhere inside the temp folder and select "Open command window here". A lit…

I know this topic has been talked to death that a true weather radar on our ND is not accurate and some some developers will refuse to add it on, but I must say today I took a simple flight from cyyz to cyul and let me tell you something with our weird weather that we are having here in Canada... CS777 WXR IN CONJUNCTION WITH AS2012 weir pretty close to what I am seeing looking out my window and radars. The program showed me the yellows the reds and winds so I can change course. A nicely added reality, I had to manipulate the aircraft just like the pro's , I'm almost positive this technology is not far away for us... any comments?

Hi, I am currently working on a free new weather engine for FSX. My intention is to depict the real weather (as reported in METAR) in a way that it also looks good and immersive. Thus, the reports are not taken for granted but enhanced, smoothed and modified according to a convincing visualization in FSX. Currently I am using simconnect to create (SimConnect_WeatherCreateStation) and inject (SimConnect_WeatherSetObservation) the weather into the sim. Although it works OK, you probably know what difficulties and unpleasent side-effects this technique have. Thats why I want to try out the weather-theme based injection like it is done with the latest commercial…

I'd like to take assistance in cracking the error i get when i run the Flightgear simulation via. Matlab. The program is written in such way that the simulated start with the airplane flies straight in the air at an altitude for sometime and later go out of contol. But after running the MATLAB program successfully and the opening of FlightGear tool in MATLAB, the FlightGear opens up and the airplane remains static and is not moving at any direction. I also get the error which i cannot able to recognize and rectify. Kindly visit the url. (I've taken a snapshot of the error box) http://imagizer.imag...0/5394/3lt2.jpg Kindly help me solve this issue. My project submissi…

Hello, can somebody help me? Lately I have been doing flight and just after I set my VNAV by selecting the waypoint with the altitude constraint, about 50-100nm after, my route will disappear and my LNAV will bank to a certain heading or keep circling. Also when my VNAV is selected my TOD appears only a few nm away from my destination when cruising at FL230. This has been screwing me over a lot and gotta say, PMDG products and amazing....

Hello All, Hopefully I am not breaking any AVSIM forum terms here, I did read them and think this is ok... Over the past few months I have been developing a small software client for FSX Users. Personally, I'm not one for Virtual Airlines. I like to randomly pick airports to fly between, what plane to take and when to go. I fully understand that some people enjoy the structure of VA's, however, I made an observation within a number of small former 'Gamespy' communities that members where doing flights available through the groups VA Client not because they where interested in earning fake wages and the ability to buy fake houses ect but just because it gave them the o…

Ok guys so i got the EFB modded/added in to the pmdg 777 on the right part of the VC And it is fully working. But i need some help on the left side , does anybody know what the name of the file is In the LR were the EFB should be ? I am looking in D:\Flight\SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG 777-200LR\texture.vc . I found the right side and added it in a coded it a good bit in C++ but i am trying to do the same thing to the left side. Any help ?

Anybody know when FlyTampa is announcing their "to be announced" sceneries and when it will be available? Also anybody know when PMDG is releasing their 300ER extension?

Hello, I'm having problems with the traffic 360 from just flight. I can't download the file finder from JF to find the files because the administrator doesn't care about the problem and blocked me to download programs from JF. Now I need help to manually find the fs9 ai files and disable them of delete them. Any Help???

Hi everybody, I'm a french Flight Simulator add-ons developer and I have developed a free aeronautical calculator and converter who called FsUcalc. This software can calculate different formulas like the ideal vertical speed, the route time (including SIDs, STARs and Approach), the plane consumption, different VFR calculus (drift, ground speed, cross wind), ... More informations here : http://www.fs-utilit...roduits/fsucalc I've been fully translated the software in English and it will be released Sunday, December 15th. You can follow this release on Facebook and Google+ and already register to www.fs-utilities.com to be inform exactly when FsUcalc will be released. If…

What is it? It is a new software in development that will allow easy updating of the AIRAC cycle, FMS data, or Nav Data, of almost all addons available. Why should I update my Nav data? In order to use all the flight planning tools to the fullest, you need an up to date AIRAC cycle. They are released 13 times a year, and include airport information, airways, SIDs and STARs, waypoints, etc. They will greatly enhance the realism of your flights and will enable you to operate your FMS with real world information. What makes your software better? Its simplicity. It will be provided as a simple installer software. Each time a new cycle is released, you get an email. …

Hi all, somebody might remember me and somebody might not. I was an active Addon developer a few years ago with tools such as Areaman and Super Flight Planner. I have been lurking since today and I'd like to something new. Even if I've almost disappeared, I still have kept coding a few tools (never released tho). My last one is a Google Maps Viewer for FSX. I'm thinking to release it but I'd like to know whether anybody would be interested in using it. Keep in mind I don't even know whether similar projects already exist. However that's here are the main features: - Display your current flight on Google Maps, using Satellite, Roadmap or Hybrid mode. - Display the to…
