The Microsoft Flight (2012) Forum

While trying to get it working I discovered that in OfficialGFWL mode I see all the planes in the hangar and all the airports in the world. But no worldmap. When I try to do a free flight from one of the airports the scenery stops loading near the end and hangs. Maybe this update bring it closer to a solution.

My flight worked fine in W8 and in W10 after upgrading. Due to a HD crash I had to reinstall everything including MS Flight. The install, according the advice from KavindaJD, went flawless. But when I fire up in NonGFWL mode, I only see the basic Flight, no extra planes, no world map, no Alaska. The basic Flight works fine. Every addon is installed fine according Flight Addon Manager v1.1.28 and I see xlive.dll in the root of Flight. I don't know how it works but it seems Flight does not "see" my extra content. Tried it on another fresh W10 installed computer, same result. Do I miss something while installing? I hope someone can help because I miss Flight after all thos…

http://www.flighttoolkit.com/Downloads/FlightToolkit_1_1_28.zip Major Changes: - Rebuilt all tools with VS 2015. If you have trouble running please install the x86 VC++ Redist manually: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 - Changed the IPC method between the tools and Flight. This will break cyberix's Flight Monitor tool. I've provided the changes to him earlier so he should have an updated version soon. - Added support for multiple clients connected via IPC at the same time. You can now have Addon Builder and SimDataEditor connected at the same time (or other tools such as Flight Monitor) - Added support for entering OPT mode. This…

For all of you who is not sure what is going on about MapQuest shutting down :mad:, and don't know what to do: Open PLAN-G go to Files go to Options Under Map Provider: Uncheck MapQUEST OSM and the check OpenStreetMap And you are back in business Have a good flight :smile:

MS FLIGHT - CORE - UI - Upgrade - MissionLoadScene - Tips When you load flights, missions, jobs, etc. are you bored with reading the same tips ? This addon package contains - - 112 new additional tips, quotes, & factoids for the 'scenery-loading' screen. - Plus 88 of FLIGHT's original 98. I've removed FLIGHT's website, survey, and GFWL related tips. The tips, quotes, & factoids, alternate between originals and new. All formatted for improved readability, (within 5 row limitation). When installed, and once in-game, tips will continue loading from whichever one you'd seen previously. i.e. They won't restart from tip zero. …

after downloading and intalling flight i also got all the files to convert fsx content installed and got this error msg ..

This topic has been discussed in length on this forum, and I have posted my thoughts on the DTG forum already. My expectations were for more. I'm sure many of you plunked down the $15 bucks to have a look as well. All I saw was an FSX continued, but not improved a bit. For me, MS Flight is still a stratosphere higher.

Whenever there is a release (or updated iteration) of an existing Flight SIm there is always a plethora of Trolls who instantly complain and compare the New with the Old - and MS Flight always crops up? Of course MS Flight was wonderful - in it's era. Of course it should have been developed further - in it's era. Of course we could have had a miraculous, be-all-and-end-all [sic] Flight Sim by now - had the Aces Team been given the financial backing from Microsoft AND the time scale to take it to a competitive level with LM. But they didn't. [n.b. Past Tense]. MS Flight was a DNR case, died in labour and was consigned to the Dustbin of Flight Sim History a lon…

This evening was my 'Return to Flight' flight, after an almost eight-month hiatus due to real-life events and a recent PC rebuild. I flew the Icon A5 ('Firehawk' livery) from Pedro Bay (4K0) to Port Alsworth (TPO), two of my favorite destinations in Alaska because of their beautiful scenery and challenging off-the-grid runways. This flight reminded me of what an amazing piece of software 'Flight' is, and how much potential it has with addons and further development! I used 'majuh's' amazing 'Mixed Fair Weather Theme' addon.

After a new clean install of Flight and Toolkit can't download nonGFWL addons. Seems likely that it's related to the recent problem with downloading the Toolkit.

Was just looking around on Steam and noticed some interesting numbers. Flight Simulator X: 121 IN GAME, 375 ONLINE Microsoft Flight: 85 IN GAME 316 ONLINE Not too shabby at this late date for a game cancelled just months after its release.

Hello Friends,to the first i`m happy about everyone who have still interrest on MS Flight,same like me! I play the Game since the beginn 2012 and payed for all my Planes and Pack`s! I`m worry about that they finished Production on it,but ###### happens. Big special thanks to stonelance for the Toolkit and everyone who build anything for our Game,Thank you all! Now i have created some own Repaints and now available for all! Go to this Link to come on my Cloud,there you can find a Collection with some Repaints and special Files. My own Repaints are there too in a separat Folder( two different one with Pictures and one with Addons ready for install,you need the Toolkit for i…

MS FLIGHT - ADDON - CORE - MISC - Upgrade - CareerTrackDefinitions - Version 2 For 'XP Grinders', and any aspirants. This addon upgrades FLIGHT's Core\Misc\CareerTrackDefinitions file, and when installed, supercedes all previously released versions. Flight's 'User Profile' displays a maximum of - - As Released - 'Level' 20, equating to 500,000 'XP'. - As Upgraded - 'Level' 100, equating to 128,000,000 'XP'. Hopefully more than sufficient, for most of your flying careers. These XP-Level definitions are based on the same numerical-progression as FLIGHT's original. Pre-Installation - Anyone who'd installed the previous CareerTrackDefinitions addon, …

Hi, I decided to start from scratch. I had a recollection about reading something about downloading Flight content via the Toolkit but couldn't recall if that included the core game. I've deleted all content related to Flight and Toolkit. I started by attempting to install Toolkit but I get an error each time I try. Must Flight be installed prior to installing Flight Toolkit? Jim F.

Hi, I recently discovered that my Flight content was once again available through GFWL. I downloaded Flight and all the content which I had previously purchased. I seriously investigated Toolkit, installed and everything seemed to work well. Both in GFWL mode and Toolkit mode. I converted the FSX scenery from a new Gold install for use in Flight and that worked well for the most part (several landclass problems). After I installed some ORBX scenery I attempted to once again do a scenery conversion. I set the ORBX scenery to default and converted again with the "/a" argument and after deselecting and removing FSX world I installed the new conversion. I had a proble…

Hi, I've just reinstalled FSX Deluxe and am running the converter with the "/a" argument and saving it to my TempDeluxe folder. I intend to convert the scenery after I install Acceleration for comparison purposes. Any thing else I might do prior to installing Acceleration? Jim F.

Hi, Background: I've had no problem using the Converter. My FSX is here:"G:\FS\FSX". I created a temporary folder here: "G:\FS\TempContent" I next opened a CMD window in the Flight Tool kit folder and executed this: ContentConverter.exe fsx /i:"G:\FS\FSX" /o:"G:\FS\TempContent" Now I'm guessing here, but suspect that the "/i" argument indicates that the converted output is to be installed and the "/o" points to where the Converter output will initially go. In a post at FS Developer I read "Optionally you can also add the "/a" argument to the command line to have the conversion generate a .flightAddon file instead of placing files in your DLC folder." Now a bi…

Hi, Semi-hypothetical just to keep things simple: A while back I discovered that Shasta Dam was a scenery object included with FSX but not included in the default scenery. I used the OPT to place it and saved it as a BGL file in the Addon Scenery folder. (I believe it wasn't included in the scenery as there was a problem with the terrain showing thru the face of the dam when the back was against the water of the lake). I could live with this. If I re-convert the FSX scenery for use in Flight will the dam be converted? Or any other scenery in the Addon Scenery folder. More specifically, does the Converter look in specific folders or use Scenery.cfg to determine where…

Hi, Had a couple of "Player had joined came" messages after returning to GFWL mode (testing). I thought multiplayer was dead. The first was "WantlessKnave39"

Hi, At the "Flight Toolkit" website I saw this in the Flight Toolkit 1.1.1 Change log: "Changes: – Added support for converting the FSX content to Microsoft Flight (see the tutorial, for instructions)" As I couldn't locate a tutorial on the site and notification of broken links was requested, I emailed stonelance regarding this. He replied that he had no recollection of a tutorial but there may have been one here or at FS Developer and suggested I enquire in the forums (funny, my spellcheck doesn't like enquire, tough!). Well I'm inquiring. Jim F.

Hi, I don't care for prop strobing effects. These are not something that's normally experienced in the real world but an artifact of recording (I hope no one tries to emulate the new strobing produced by newer digital cameras, which is even more offensive). It's my understanding that attempts to modify the aircraft already included in Flight will cause problems. I'm considering using Flight Toolkit's "Flight Addon Builder" to replicate an existing aircraft and then modify that. I would then like to add it to the GFWL version of Flight. Anyone see any problems with this? I have eliminated the strobing in most of the default FSX aircraft so I'm pretty familiar with …

Stonelance, I know you don't want to hear about scenery conversion issues but I found some that i thought you might find interesting. They seem to be limited to the cities that have their own folders under the \FSX\scenery\Cities folder in both FSX and FSX-SE. I can't say if these issues appeared in 1.1.15 or not. Here are some examples. At Reno/Tahoe airport in Reno, NV (KRNO) Lat/Long N39 29.9467/W119 46.0867 - Many buildings just did not convert. The only building that did convert is the main terminal building. At Reno/Stead airport about 10 miles NW of Reno (new identifier KRTS - old identifier 4SD) Lat/Long N39 40.0906/W119 52.5864 - Most of the buildings did…

Hi, I wasn't aware that the core game could still be downloaded from MS but I found a link provided by Scruffyduck over at FS developer from Oct 2014 that still works. I'm downloading on an older computer right now and although it's extremely slow it's working. Here's the link: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9800616 Jim F.

Hi; I have a question, the answer to which will be obvious once I convert the FSX scenery to Flight, but I'm holding off in case I receive any replies to another post regarding the conversion process. And the question might be more appropriate at FS Developer but there seems to be more recent activity in this forum. In an FS Developer post from Oct 2014 Stonelance said "Eventually we should be able to hook up Flight's cliff texturing system to steep grades so that we don't get the ugly stretched texture effects." What is the situation now? In FSX I can either fly through Yosemite valley with enhanced ORBX scenery or the Grand Canyon using some other upgraded scenery …

Hi, In FSX , in the Controls/Views section there's a command ""Look forward (3-D cockpit)". I have this assigned to the right trigger button on my yoke. Pressing this returns me to the VC looking straight forward regardless if I'm simply looking down at the instruments or I've selected any other view category. In Flight I have my left trigger button set to return me to the VC and my right trigger button resets the view to forward. Is there any way I could emulate FSX's ability to return my view to the VC looking forward with a single button press? Jim F.
