Wrote to OzRunways for a second time regarding support for Simulator Mode for FSX so that the moving map on OzRunways could be active whilst flying. OzRunways supports XPlane and I was interested to see if this functionality could be adapted for Microsoft Flight Simulator. I have included the reply from Rowan Willson at OzRunways. Maybe someone might be able to get this thing up and running. Hi John, Thanks for the email - we've actually been looking for somebody in the flight sim community to write a plugin for FSX to output lat/lon/altitude/heading in the same format that XPlane does so it can plug straight back directly into OzRunways. Basically, XPlane …

i appologize if this is the wrong section if anyone from FRF Studios runs into this, got a trojan warning from your downloads page at frfstudios.net. not sure if its embedded into that page or if it was off one of the ads. Avast picked it up though and blocked it couldnt grab contact info from the site so hopefully theyll see it

My name is Joseph M Leon, I live in the US, I am a family man and a very enthusiast fan of aviation, the Flight Simulator World, I am also a game and model designer. I have a very special passion for our community and I want to give a something of special value, and for that I need your help. I am starting a specific project as we speak called “Learn to Fly with the Boeing 717”, I cannot stress you enough how much I would love to finish project and that our beloved community can be happy and proud of owning another high-end quality add-on for their FSX aircraft line. If any of you have not heard about a website called www.kickstarted.com, this is a new way to fund and…

While working on an aircraft repaint of which the texture installer requires the files to be packed in .CAB format (and then just renamed to something else) I got stuck in the .CAB compiling. Its about the SSTSim FS2004 Concorde the instructions of which are in the downloadable paint kit here http://sstsim.com/re...es/repaints.php The instruction say : How can I compile in to .CAB filetype ? I found this but still have no idea about .NET and C++ Any help would be appreciated !

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…

Hello, the Joseph Kanz a particular fan of 328 jet. It is maybe not a good economical, real world blunder of the developer, but in sim world an interesting possibility. Any a developer? Eaglesoft looks a way of the real world at point, so not an option is guessing? Any other developer? A good payware freeware? Or consider make? Happiness is the flight to you, and enjoy. J Kanz

Hi all. I have a question: Is there a FSX developer who wants to introduce me to Programming aircraft relatet things in FSX. I am able to programm things in C++. I know there is a documentation from the FSX-SDK online, but that didn't helped me. Thanks Mathias

Every since I created the first nuke effect, I've been playing with it. Just like the original, I had it working for 8 or more months before uploading it. Well, now it's time to show what I've had for the last year or so. Check out the video of what I may release here pretty soon. Depending on feedback, I'm not sure if I want to make it payware or keep it freeware. I have alot of problems with people uploading my effect to other sites, or packaging it up with aircraft. To name a couple, CaptSim and Nor-Cal Prop. Anyways, take a look and let me know what you think. Ardie / RD / RDY

I have recently added GSX to my mix and noticed that it responds to aircraft placement only if correctly placed on the AFCAD footprint. I am subsequently in the process of adjusting the footprints and "T" positions in the AFCAD for the airports as I fly to them. Problem is that placing the footprint and the correct T values (40-56-76) works for all other aircraft except ConcordeX. The "small gate" that ATC assigns the ConcordeX puts it too far forward to activate the Jetway. Using the corrected footprint for "heavy gate", however, always places it just right. Is there a procedure to change FSX ATC so that it assigns a "heavy gate" instead of a "small gate" for Concor…

Hi,I've been looking for a good set of scenery for my hometown airport, Worcester Regl (KORH). I dont know is someone has some out there or if someone could create a set. My problem is that people always seem to overlook that ORH has jetways. ORH has 2 jetways set up at the moment, and 2 in srorage, as well as 2 walkout gates. No one ever puts jetways into their scenery.

For the Next weeks I will be taking a VFR trip to discover and see the most beautiful naturan scenery that Orbx has made for FSX!Join me in this Flight as I will be posting here screenshots and Impressions about PNW!The tour will start tomorrow (31/3/12) and screenshots will be uploaded every weekend!All in all the tour includes 19 airports and many POI.

I purchased the App FsAssistant for iPad, but you still need the plugin for FSX. For two days now the website www.van-rooijen.net is down or something.Anyway, does anyone already have the FSX plugin they could send me/or attach. It is a free download from the website, I just cant get to it.ThanksJeff

Hey Everyone,I want to introduce myself as an avid Flightsim enthusiast. I have been using FS9 for about 6 years, and in the time I have really explored FS9 to the fullest. Now the purpose of my post is gonna be MANY FOLD, but I promise I`ll try to keep as concise and clear as possible. "Freeware should never be a compromise, but a product of countless hours of effort and passion, that brings together a community to enjoy something that's free and exemplary for zero pretty pennies."-777beats340Last year I undertook a project to create a 2d panel from existing Airbus gauges (with all authors permissions). The panel v1 was posted on the forum (link viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1…

HiI was trying a repaint of an aircraft but was unable to sucessfully re-save the textures so that they displayed correctly in FSX. The problem is the mip-mapping. The low resolution maps are being displayed too early, when the orbit camera is still quite close to the aircraft, resulting in an undesirable blurriness. As I orbit around the aircraft I can watch the textures ripple along the surface of the model, replacing HiRes with LoRes maps. I've tried all sorts of settings. Since the format was originally some form of extended bitmap format, I have tried to recreate this with DXTBMP without success. I have tried every extended bitmap alternative to no avail. DXT 1 would…

It is intended both for the pilots and for the VA.Bye Thomas

I just noticed that the timezone differential values for part of Africa are off by 1 hour. I have FSX SP2 and I had installed realtime program several years ago and up to this point found it to be almost accurate in all places (within a small difference in longitiude sometimes). Since most of AFRICA does not use DST the time differentials should be constant. Point is I have access to the timezone bgl files in realtime directory but I am not able to disassemble them. I have tried bglanalyze (several versions) and the only thing I get when I try to disassemble is the header for the XML file but no content. I used to tweak bgl files all the time back in the FS98 days us…

I have recently been flying the 737NGX and I have ezdok installed, I have a pan view on my Saitek hat switch to look around in the cockpit, however recently that doesn't work, it stops halfway through a flight, it works at the start! There is no conflict with settings in fsx controls, any ideas would be great. Cheers Wayne.

Hi guys,First of all, I'm not too sure if this is the place to post this topic since I am new here at Avsim, but I hope I figure it out correctly.I have been using Radar Contact 4 with FS9 for some time and I absolutely love it. I particularly appreciate the pre-recorded chatter for certain regions of the world, but unfortunately it doesn't cover much (in Europe, I know it covers the only UK, France , Denmark and Spain, but no Italy nor Germany, for instance). But then I was looking in the folders of Radar Contact and there are a lot of empty folders with countries' names inside of the directory "winwood", and they have instructions of how to add .WAV files to them so RC4…

It’s the olde flogging horse: Feed forward or Derivative information to make an Auto Terrain Follower work getting accurate forward TRACK co-ordinates and Altitude info. Was inspired to resurrect it after buying the DBS Profiler package, they seem to have the problems sorted. Been working on it for years (on and off) and getting very close but have a problem with the way FSX presents the true value of the TAN of the degrees (Radians) of Latitude.The last equation I need to solve is simple:The TAN of the Latitude squared minus 1 ---- in XML looks like this (simplified):(L: TAN_TF_LAT, number) (L: TAN_TF_LAT, number) * 1 + (>L:Factor_Nm_MUL, number)and that gets shoved i…

Since MS announced FLIGHT coming out as free online download for all the play this Spring... who plans to develop anything for the FLIGHT platform? It is already clear that PMDG, Orbx, and many other large developers abandoned FLIGHT... just for kicks anyone gonna make a plane for MS?

HI All,I figured this forum might be the best place to ask the question. I understand 4.0 is available but hesitant to install as the OS Auto Update feature does not see it. I understand that there are a few issues with installers, one of which was Aerosoft. It had been stated on other forums that some installers may corrupt the .net installation. I am using Win7 64 bit for FSX and 1 client, and Win XP SP3 as another client, each of which use either simconnect or Widefs for comms. Other than a requirement for for some installers, is there any reason I should upgrade to 4.0 other than a requirement for an installer? If so, what are the benefits, and should I install on …
