    I have been in possession of FSPXAI 737NG, but never used it because I stick to FAIB (I am using P3D5 models drim AIG). Anyway, I was accidentally browsing the FSPXAI package and noticed that there is an option to change standard strobe lights to LEDs. Is there such an option for FAIB (by AIG) 737NG? Thank you // ------------------ Switch word in the title string ------------------ // *EB = Show eyebrow cockpit window. // *WLstd = Show standard winglet. // *WLscmt = Show split scimitar winglet. // *LLED = Remove retractable landing light.

  2. For the second time in the last couple of months and many times since I bought it I get a message saying my installation of ChasePlane cannot be verified and I need to go to Orbx Central to verify it. Am I alone in getting this? I find it quite insulting that of all the scenery and aircraft I have bought this is the only product that requires this action on a semi-regular basis.

    Hello, over the months/years I found my perfect configuration for running P3D v5 on my system and over the time I collected a lot of Add-Ons here and there. Everything worked fine until maybe 6-7 months ago, but I don't know what was changed from there. So the typical behavior of that stutter is like following: I usually start a flight maybe 45-60 minutes before take-off at a gate of one of the Add-On airports. Before start I select my aircraft, location, ActiveSky weather and date/time. Approximately after take-off, maybe at higher altitudes or at around before or after reaching my cruise altitude usually the first stutter period starts which means a sudde…

    Hi there I have a question. I use a scenery (Geneva] where I have a little terrain issue. Between the runway and apron, the terrain should be lowered. It's starting whre the red line is but it already should lower where the dashed red line is. Is there more or less a simple way to do this with ADE oder Modelconverter? Would much appreciate it. Kind Regards Patrick

    I don't know whether it is a known issue, but I wonder if anyone else had noticed something like that in P3Dv5.3HF2. First, I check and adjust [exits] entries in aircraft.cfg. Then, I check if all default jetways of a default airport are attached to the AI aircraft properly. Exit sim. After that, I make a full flight arriving to the above airport, I see all jetways improperly attached to the AI aircraft around user plane. The user plane jetway attaches properly though. The same for the AI aircraft coming in to the terminal. I find that behaviour weird and unreasonable. Any ideas why this happens ?

    I run P3D5.3 HF2 and most of the time I use Active Sky with ASCA. EA is always on; I like that. Is the latest version of Sky Force 100% compatible with P3D5.3? I have a vague memory there was an issue with it in combination with EA, but not sure about it. Does Sky Force really have added value compared with ASCA? What do you think? Rein

    When I have installed P3D again after complete reinstall of windows SODE no longer works. After reading a lot on the internet I realized this may be due to SimConnect since on the new install of Windows 10 I have never had FSX but I did have it on the old install. How can I solve this I have tried installing all the SimConnect.msi but it made no diffence, it shows as activated and Simconnect ok everywhere. Anyone have a suggestion?

  15. I have just noticed that there are no strobe lights on my AIG 757-200 winglet models. They are working on the no winglet 757s, so I am not sure what the problem is. I am using the v3.2 models in P3Dv4.5HF2. I have started a thread over at the AIG forum, but I thought that I would check to see if anyone here has noticed a similar problem? The strobe lights are built into the models themselves, and every other light is working.

    Just released on Simmarket: https://secure.simmarket.com/taxi2gate-tffr-p3dv5.phtml 6,5 years after the last version, Taxi2gate release the latest version of Pointe-à-Pitre including dynamic lighting and PBR textures. No release info yet from the developer, however I would imagine that a v4.4+ version will follow shortly just like their last release (no mention yet any MFS progress).

  18. Hi, As some of you know, I started a "mini project" to update FSDT's Zurich airport (LSZH) with GSX gates. The old CTRL+J jetways have been removed. Here's some work in progress screenshots where the gates are pretty much all added now to Terminal E, but I still need to work on converting the marshallers to the guidance docking system panels and updating the airline codes for both the AFCAD and GSX. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1203HY7Mp0SgghFfKQcW47XfTfk4CDx7Y https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JxCL2Lgm3IGRyaAhOVJuiYfh4tfk14TX https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zzDzJfU5ILotLYlUyevjJIJANyBPXqfd https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mNRf42UuxCvt…

    Hello, Recently GSX has been acting really strange. Whenever I open the parking configuration tool in the GSX menu and click the customize vehicle location option, the entire sim shutters and the the aircraft will zip around the map for a good couple seconds and then it will come to a stop in some random spot. If I press the F1 key to switch to another vehicle GSX brings me back to the gate but all of the ramp objects are either under the ground or completely invisible. If I repeat the process GSX crashes and will refuse to work until I restart the sim. The issue is not specific to any airport or aircraft. Any advice? Thanks! -Derek
