Hi guys. Started using MCE and like it so far. Having a FO controlling knobs, flaps, nav, etc comes real handy. Now my only question is when I call for ground services (GSX) to open doors for boarding , how come my main exit keeps closing and opening? I can't seem to close the cargo doors either on the CRJ 700/900 after request to close all doors. I reviewed the manual and will try it again but it's a little annoying . Only solution now is to hit CTL + F12 to get it working or close doors manually on the iPad (DAVE). If anyone might know a fix or command to get this working please let me know. It's not really a big deal but it's a bit annoying.

This one works perfect with MaddogX ver 1.10, a most have , have them all for PMDG for the FSLabs the one they did but hope Marcom make one his is better. https://www.avsim.com/forums/forum/742-remote-cdu-for-phone-tablet-official-support-forum/

Hello, lately I've been having this issue... Once I'm arborne for maybe an hour, the scenery kind of stops loading, see here: https://ibb.co/mw1dMn When I reload it (say that I change mesh resolution, so it has to reload the whole thing), it's back to normal, see here: https://ibb.co/iyh2gn But after a few minutes, it's like this again: https://ibb.co/mHck1n What could possible be causing it? I had a discussion here about Process Lasso and that it might cause sim to not load terrain or something like that. Could that be it? Thanks very much.

Hi, Anyone can share experience with the new Captainsim 757? I've found in the forum some older threads which were partially criticizing the product due to current bugs but since then I've seen fixes have been released so wanted to understand the current level of the product. What I mainly would like is to know - *Is it study level? *Is it worth the $? *How would you compare it to other payware - system level and dynamics wise? *Is the product being improved as expected? (seems like the older 757 release remained buggy from reviews I have found...) I'm really on the fence with this one mainly because I know there is a level D 757 …

Hi all, I am contemplating upgrading my motherboard and CPU. I would appreciate and advice on what I need to do to get Prep3D running on the "New" PC. I have Prep3D on its own SSD. FSX can be a real PITA to do this, my hope is that Prep3D is not so troublesome.

Hello, I am not sure why the Pause at TOD was added as a menu option, I noticed that every time I load the plane I need to go to the menu option and enable pause at TOD. This doesn't make any sense to me, why cant we have this option as a permanent setting like the ones found in the setup options from the load manager. Would the dev please consider this? thank you! John.

is there anyway to get the ai aircraft landing lights to look like they did in fsx.

Hey guys, Still on the hunt for a decent P3D v.4.2 piston twin. Had high hopes fo new Milviz Cessna 310 r but once again they make a plane where instrument, panel and cockpitlights are not operable so night or marginal light flying is out. This problem goes way back and across many models. I have yet to see a fix. If I have to look to Carenado can anybody recommend a decent piston twin? Not looking for A2Aquality but it would be nice if major systems worked reliably. Thanks, Eric

Hey guys, i dont have much to say, the screenshots talk for me. Basicly, after FTX GLOBAL installation, my ground textures are mixed, between ORBX and DEFAULT. I have tried everything in scenery library, but nothing happens...anyone know how to solve that?

Hello, I've run into a strange issue. I did some changes in CPU core assignment. I'm using Process Lasso. This is what I have set up: Process Lasso mode: High performance P3D cores: 2-7, high priority All add-ons: 0-1, normal priority I usually get very good fps on my system (see signature). But after I started using Process Lasso, I get severe lag spikes sometimes. It's mostly random. And by lag spike, I mean the whole computer, meaning that I can't even move the mouse cursor (I can but it's really slow and unresponsive). It goes on for perhaps 30 seconds and then back to normal. In Process Lasso, it's represented by the red graph d…

Thanks for all your help. I switched to 4.2 and so far all was good. I only got a problem that I couldn't remove the 4.1 scenery module. After some further problems I used the main installer which only installed the missing scenery part. On my first flight now from EGKK-LGKR-EGKK I see in the area of Greece black parts in the scenery. There are nearly everywhere and it looks like there is information missing. I only use the local airport scenery and ORBX Global+Europe+LC. Could there be a problem? EDIT: The problem is also with Italy and Croatia which I'm currently passing

Has anyone else had issues since updating the add-on manager from FSDT? Initially after the update, I was getting CTD every time. I have spent more than 2 hours trying to get this fixed. I at least got the sim to open back up, but now, none of my FSDT airports work. I have gone through all the repair processes, reinstalled the latest add-on manager, but still no luck. I haven't go a clue what is causing the issue, but it is almost like it isn't connecting to simconnect anymore. I was getting the error posted below. If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix it, I would be very appreciative! Source Couatl™ Scripting Engine for FSX/ESP Summary Stopped working…

Any thoughts on what causes these terrain texture issues? This only happens with the Aerosoft Lukla scenery, I have contacted them but so far no fixes. As you can see VNLK Lukla airport runway problem and all the black textures at VNPL Phaplu scenery. I do not have these problems anywhere else https://photos.app.goo.gl/GqXw4fhwkoGweO5E2

Hi there, Ive tried using the Gatwick Sim tool but it only supports 8 cores. Does anyone know how to work out / provide me with a affinity mark for 18 core / 36 thread CPU? Thanks in advance, Lew

Anyone else having a problem updating FSDT airports or GSX? Mine is locking up since yesterday. thanks. Jose

I have tried to get the weather report through the AOC menu but it never populates with any data. I use Activesky on a remote computer so could this be the issue? Thanks Keith

Hi guys, was wondering if there is the equivalent Android app for prepar3d like the xplane to GPS app? This app allows you to use your Android tablet or other device as a moving map. It reads location data broadcast by X-Plane and spoofs the GPS location of the device to match that of the simulated aircraft. Want to use my real life efb but need to broadcast prepar3d location data to Android device. Rich
