  1. Hi, I have come across this cheap TV from Philips and was hoping you guys could help with these specification • Computerindgange(input) on all HDMI: at 60 Hz, op to 4K Ultra HD 3840x2160 • Videoindgange(input) på alle HDMI: op til 4K Ultra HD 3840x2160p, ved 24, 25, 30, 50, 60 Hz https://www.bilka.dk/medias/sys_master/root/ha7/h2c/9367997546526/49PUT6101.pdf So it seems that the PC input is only 60HZ .

    Hi! I have some problems. When i go to Align AIRAC with Scenery and click Start Alignment i get a error saying 'Can't start import, f5.csv is missing!'. When clicking Rebuild Scenery DB it says "MakeRwys.exe not found in Please see help for further information". In the Help document it says i should put MakeRwys.exe in my main FS folder (im running P3D v3) so i did that and clicked it and it generated the .csv PRO-ATC is requesting. But it still gives me error saying its missing the file. I also done the path to folders. What am i doing wrong?

    Dear users Iam suffering from performance lost with AI. I actually just want airliners around me as I usually just fly those. I ve installed WOAI which is pretty awsome but I have just too many GA Traffic around me which eats up my frames and also needs to much VAS. My in-sim setting is 40% AI and 1% GA but if i rightclick while flying and check "airtraffic" it shows me a huge amount of GA which i dont actually dont want to see... I just want the bigboys around me... Actually I dont even understand how there can be so many GA Traffic if I just give them 1% in the p3d settings... I really appreciate any help! kind regards sebo

    Hi all, I've flown the Flight1 Mustang for years but *sigh* I'm looking for a replacement. I liked the glass cockpit (as limited as it was) and layout of the Mustang, as limited as it was. Maybe someday there'll be a new Mustang. Anyway, I'd like to get one that I didn't need to put the GTN750 in and would like a working autopilot with all modes (including FMC). I know Carenado has several though I don't really follow them much. I'd like to hear your suggestions and pros and cons. Thanks in advance.

    Hi all, I'm using V3.2 with WOAI traffic, and I've noticed that although the ai aircraft respect the gate assignments with regards to airline, they don't respect the gates with respect to size (ie; large aircraft parking at small gates, etc.) I think many of the models were originally for FS9 - maybe that's why? At any rate, does anyone know what I have to modify/add to make them respect the gate size constraints? Many thanks in advance. - Daniel

    Hi all, I wanted to take advantage of some of the 4th of July flightsim sales this weekend to upgrade my scenery in FSX. I know there's a lot of content and other questions out there related to scenery in FSX - so I'll try to keep my questions as specific as possible. Just wanted to get some info before the weekend was up! 1. I currently use ORBX PNW and ORBX SAK with a handful of smaller ORBX airports within those regions. My general (and still limited) understanding of FSX scenery is that these ORBX regions can include upgraded mesh data. If that is true, would FSGenesis still be worth purchasing? I mostly fly general aviation in North America. 2. If I were…

    Ok, never seen this before. I am seeing the docking guidance system signs that guide you into your gate rotating around in a circle?? The docking signs rotate under the ground and then back up in a clockwise motion. So bizarre. Seeing it at different scenery by different dev's. Imaginesim KATL, FT OMDB so far. Only thing I have added since then is FS Crew for the 777 and NGX. Only other thing is a different profile for shaders in PTA as well. Any ideas what might be causing this?

    All, I have decided to move over to Prepar3D. With that said, I have purchased and downloaded a lot of FSX sceneries, pay ware aircraft, etc. I saw that there is an FSX Migration Tool, that supposedly migrates all FSX add-ons into Prepar3D. Has anyone tried this tool? Does it really work? My main programs are the following... ASN, Orbx, PMDG 737NGX, PMDG 777, F1 KA B200, FSFX, REX 4, FSINN, and soon the MilViz KA350. Any input from my fellow simmers is appreciated. My machine is an i5 3.6Ghz, 32 megs DDR4 Memory, 1TB SSD, Nvidia GTX780 4GB DDR5 graphics card, WIN 10, Direct X 11. I am thinking that a clean install of P3D and all new add-ons would be best. But…

  20. Sometimes when things install and just work right ya gotta give a shout out. I read so many issues here in these forums with 3rd party updates and upgrades you become wary of adding anything to your "prized sim". But I installed SuperTrafficBoard (STB), on my main Win7 sim PC and it installed and worked like a breeze. Not a single issue. I then installed it as a client on a Win10 23" AIO PC. Same thing... click-click-click and all was installed working on my network. No .cfg files to edit, no simconnect to look it, no network issues... no nuttin'! Just so impressed I wanted fellow simmers to know about this great utility and professional installation. Clutc…

  21. I saw one of these in a GAME store yesterday, and I noted that the price was only £34.99. I currently use a CH FlightStick Pro (which is more than twice the price), but it only has a basic wheel as a throttle (which sticks a bit at times, and can be quite annoying). This Thrustmaster T Flight Hotas X has a throttle lever (which I am assuming will be much better for throttle control), more buttons, and also a twist feature for the rudder. Do any of you guys use this joystick in P3D? If so, is it a decent joystick? The price is very good, but I just want to be sure that the build quality is OK, and that it works with P3D v3.3.5

    I have trees all over the GA parking area of CYYZ. Also there is an irregular black streak running through the area as well. I guess it's Orbx's idea of a stream. To begin with, there is no stream there in RL, and if its supposed to be one its a most unrealistic sim.

    Hi everyone. I'd like some points of view on an appropriate backup strategy for my sim. Currently Windows 10, P3D, all add-ons, and all scenery are on a SDD, and all the original sim files for same (P3D install files, scenery, add-ons, etc.) are on a backup HDD in the PC chassis that I manage manually (download the A2A plane, install it, and move the download ZIP file into the HDD "Aircraft" folder). What I'd like to do is two things. First, I'd like to have the best possible means of doing a full reinstall if I have a critical problem without having to reinstall everything from scratch - so the SDD fries, I buy and install a new SDD, and install the backup (including…

  24. Hi All, After migrating from P3D v3.2 (where the gauges worked fine) to v3.3.5.17625, I loaded the plane but the LCDs had an error message, saying the gauge couldn't be loaded. I used the most recent QW757 installer when I installed it into v3.2 originally. I also updated the FSDT addon manager, which prompted for the latest QW757 gauge, to which I answered Yes.... Is anyone else having this problem with this version in this latest version of P3D? I posted this in the QW forums earlier this week, but nobody has responded. Thanks, Jim
