Hello guys, i've heard a lot of people complaining about the lack of C195 for FSX. There's only 1 by flysimware and even that one isn't any good at all. I'm talking from experience, that flying this classic cessna is way more fun than any newer models in real life. I can already imagine myself flying with it on a nice mountain scenery at 150knots (it's cruise speed) and enjoying the simplicity of that 1940s era. I call up all the simmers out there who want to experience the buisnessman aircraft, at the growing age of the US. Your's sincerely glazuna. Here's the link to our petition, please share it with everyone you know, thanks http://www.change.org/en-CA/petit…

Hi I'm working on an input/output scripting solution for simulators - myself using FSX and Falcon BMS. It's called Sim Script and is going to be a standalone windows application written in Python that offers input/output automation for simulators. Scripts are written in Python - it's very easy to prototype functionality that your favourite simulator might not offer out of the box. Phidget encoder for radio tuning, joystick for gear handle operation, joystick axis partitioned into segments for key presses, etc. , Gear Up! fsx.set("GEAR HANDLE POSITION", "Bool", 0) At the moment one needs to work from source - a distribution package for easy insta…

Hello, I've been searching for some time by now for a add-on that could help me. I recently bought a joystick from saitek, it is really good, but as it was one of the cheapest, it is also very simple: has only 5 buttons, but the most important, it has throttle buttons with 4 leds (which correspond for 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%), but one can also increase gradually by pressing the + button and the leds lights one by one. When I'm flying with small it is not a big deal flying in "percentages", the problem is when I fly airliners, specially in approaches and landings. So I thought of one add-on that could show the percentage of throttle in numbers like (XX%). Does anybo…

You are tired of papers? Then you must use this app! The app contains the most important Boeing 747 checklist categories: -BEFORE START -AFTER START -BEFORE TAKEOFF -AFTER TAKEOFF -IN RANGE -APPROACH -BEFORE LANDING -AFTER LANDING -SHUT DOWN This is perfectly for flight simmers! It can be used on any flight simulator software like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 (FS2004), Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX), X-Plane and more. Compatible with all flight simulator McDonnell Douglas MD-11s like PMDG and others.

Are there any developers interested in interfacing with fsxlive.com ? If there is enought interest, i could document it.

To all that downloaded my "Marine_Corps_F4_Package" and "NukemV2" effect.... My deepest apologies for wasting your time. After being contacted by several people, I've found that there are a few errors with both downloads. I've asked AVSIM to remove both files. When they are removed, I will upload them again, with all problems resolved. I would rather do this, than add a patch or fix for each download. Less chances of other issues. Again, my apologies. Please be patient. RD / Ardie

Any chance of street light poles addons from a developer for fsx wondering if it can even be done looks awesome in x-plane.

Hello, First of all, I apologize if this is the wrong forum. I've been looking for a add-on to generate failures through FSX's built-in failure system. I am aware that this is possible through SimConnnect, in fact I found a tool that did exactly this that was made for FS9 but worked in FSX(FS Reliability Factor. Unfortunately the developer ditched it, making it impossible to purchase a full version. So, I'm posting to suggest/request that a developer develop an add-on for FSX that allows random failures to be generated through the FSX failure system at a realistic rate/likelihood(.x percent chance/hour). I'd like to use this to add an aspect of realistic failu…

I'm totally new here, but not to aviation, flight sim, or programming; please pardon if I've posted in the wrong sub-forum... I've started a new project that will use FSX as a Tower out-the-window viewport for an ATC simulator. FSX's ability to manage and display AI traffic is perfect for my needs, except that it appears that one can only create AI traffic flightplans at the start of a run, with no manual control over that traffic's behavior afterwards. I need some way to, say, change an AI aircraft's heading manually and have FSX's flight model automatically cause that AI aircraft to turn to the new heading. So my question(s) for this forum: Does anyone know of …

Hello, Many FSX AddOns today come with a higher texture resulution than 1024. PMDG for instances uses 4096 textures and they, as well suggest as others that the TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD should be set to 4096. As I did, probably all of us had to do this manually. This isn't much work, however there is one problem: If you open the FSX Options menue to adjust something, the TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD is defaulted back to 1024 again. Ofcourse you can set it back to 4096 manually again, but if you often go to these options menue you will spend your time setting your TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD to 4096 all the time instead off flying. So I tried to overcome this and wrote a little program. You…

Hi everyone ! Can someone explain me precisly what kind of second parameter this method wants : void (FSAPI *element_list_install) ( PELEMENT_HEADER element, PVOID resource_file_handle ); I have read the sdk documentation but I'm french and sometimes it's quite complicated The method wants a gauge file ? a .cfg file ? http://msdn.microsof...nt_list_install Thank you in advance.

Has anyone tried to develop a parser to interpret the panel files to rebuild and or render cockpits outside FSX?

I try to make a simple MDL viewer but i am got stuck at reading the Scenegraph data. Anyone can give me a hint how to get the right transformation Matrices for all the parts in the MDL file. Help will be much appreciated.

I installed the SDK and where am I to get this toolbox I keep reading about? is this from a drop down menu in FSX or outside of FSX or where? and shouldn't the *.dll files be in FSX folder somewhere? and if so, where?

I'm currently starting a project that will culminate into an online, searchable database of aircraft performance related information. It will contain information useful for both pilots and controllers, and will hopefully be a quicker and easier alternative than pulling up a kneeboard or trying to google the takeoff run of a 757-300. I am looking for people interested in joining the project because of the massive amount of data entry and web development this will require. If you are interested, please feel free to send me a PM on here for more information. The project is completely open source, credit is given where credit is due Below is a basic sample of wha…

Fly Tampa Dubai what a sensational job the best scenery I have seen so far well done.

Hey all, So I've recently been attempting a bit bush flying in fsx but found what is possible within the Sim very limited. One of the things i have found the most frustrating is not being to skim the surface of the water say slow the aircraft down say before landing on a sand bar or even just for the heck of it. If crash setting are one it it wont let me get near the water with out crashing and with it off it shoots me a couple of hundred feet in the air if i get near the water. Now I dont have the knowledge to do this myself but is it at all possible to create a modificaton to fix this up within the limitations of fsx? Thanks, Cuan James

Is anybody interested in an add-on for FSX to allow hunts for Aerocaches in the same style as for FLIGHT?

Hi all, After a little bit of searching and a few things I didn't quite understand regarding FSUIPC ;) I just figured I'd ask: Is there a way to get reliable GPS position data out of FSX via Bluetooth? The idea here is to use a commercial app on an iPad using its Bluetooth receiver just as I would with a Dual GPS or Bad Elf. Thanks, Andrew

Hello, I wish to introduce you my website. I don't think to be the only one who have difficulties to know if there a scenery available for an airport or a place in the world of flight simulator. Indeed the search for a scenery through the onlines stores or download website is often long and difficult. That why i decided to create a website where there are two interactives maps with, in one, all the payware airports for flight simulator and, in the other, all the freeware airports available( freeware but quality sceneries). A link to the editor website or the online store is available for every airport on the map. There will be frequents update with…

Good evening All, My name is Sam Bagchi and I am part of a new startup-company called Wandering Simulations. Our company's motto is to blur the lines of realistic and simulated flight. To do this we are in the process of developing different add-ons to help in realizing this motto, while simulteanously grow the flight community. We are interested in developing both freeware and payware software for both the Laminar Research and Microsoft Franchies. Currently we have various openings available, including X-Plane Development Specialist, Environmental Software specialist, and Social Media Adminstrators to name a few. These positions and their respective requirements …
