  5. Hello people. After long time of "flying" on MS FS, recently I got b-day gift - flying experience in real cockpit simulator of big commercial airliner. You know, those semi-professional full scale realistic imitation of cockpit used for public and also training pilots... I was so excited from this experience, that I could not sleep for few days and more and more realized, that I want something like that in my home. Now my "flying room" with ordinary joystick and monitor looks suddenly so dull... So... Is there anybody who already have that, build it or purchase some parts of such thing? Any suggestion what I should do, what should not, what I need to b…

  6. Hi Everyone, I have an issue with my FSX Landclass or Terrain Mesh (I don't know which one is the correct term) since yesterday when I tried to install a payware product. After installation I wanted to fly from that airport but when FSX loaded, it took a while to load and stopped at 34% for about a minute which it never did before and when It loaded, the airports were visible but my WOAI traffic was non existent and the terrain was black, you could make out the shape of mountains etc but there was no differentiation between Land and Sea and I even went into the Top-down view and zoomed out and the whole world terrain was black. Does anyone have any advice on th…

  7. As I mentioned in another post, I'm returning to simming after a period away and I've forgotten some things. I'm rebuilding my FSX world from scratch and starting to fly again. As a Toposim Galaxy Member from waaaaay back, I have ~50GB of mesh covering the entire world. I've also got Ultimate Terrain v2 for various regions of the world. I've forgotten the performance effect(s) of activating ALL the mesh or sceneries installed in the Scenery Library globally versus activating only areas where I'm flying. Could someone remind or advise me about the relevant considerations and performance effects relating to this? I vaguely remember using batch files to s…

  8. Hey there everyone, My name is Justin and I'm new to AVSIM forum. I figured id make a post about some question that I have in regards to P3D and was hoping I'd be able to find some answers or the very best recommendations. So I've been a huge fan of Flight Simulators for sometime now, I dabbled in FSX for many years, mainly just flying planes around and enjoying view. But one thing that i became very aware of real quick was that FSX being as old as it is, there are for sure limits. So after doing some researching and watching 100's of videos on various different sims, i decided to go with P3D. Seeing how they are continuously providing new updates along with b…

  10. Hello. I have homemade overhead, throttles and autopilot based on MJoy, Arduino and HIDMacros and FSUIPC software. As I fly in multiplayer mode on FSX, some overhead and throttle switches will stop working or change their assignment (eg. the autopilot switch turns on the landing lights, etc.). All offsets assigned to HIDMacros work properly. Sometimes (once every 10 times) after logging in the session everything is ok. I even had a situation that I only used the Thrustmaster joystick and then nothing worked. This happens on any plane (PMDG B738 or default B737 or even Cessna from FSX). I connected to servers from fsopen.co.uk. I thought it might be the fault of setting up…

    Hello everyone. I am a great lover of Flight Simualtion. Recently i bought FSX and whats the problem is that it runs fine unless we load something second time. Example: when i start and aircraft at an airport then it will run very smoothly with no crashes or error but if i change the airport or if i end the flight and go for some other or lets i am running the game at a speed of ×16 and if i get it to normal then the loading screen appears and immediately the FSX crashes. i.e whenever i start FSX i am able to play only one flight at a time. If i end the flight and go for another one then fsx crashes. If i want to play another flight then i have to exit the whole fsx and t…

    My Saitek Pro Flight Yoke Hat switch does not work when I push right, left or down, only up. OS Win 10 Pro, Sim Platform is P3D v4.2. I tried to send a question to P3D, but their site will not allow newbies to post until they are more active on their site??!! What every that means!! It sounds ludicrous, but true. After I installed A2As C-182 all worked well. The next day the hat switch did not work properly. Also I noticed that the resolution could not be change from 512 x 512 within P3D even after I pressed default which goes to 1920 x1080 then reverts back to 512 x 512. I contacted A2A but they said it is not there software but the hardware which is ca…

  18. So last night I had successfully overclocked my fx(6300) 3.5ghz six core to 4.0 ghz and all was well i happened to go on fsx se and loaded in and noticed a fps drop from 40 fps average to a 10 fps average, i happened to look at my task manager and notice my gpu(rx550) was at %98 and was maxed out, i always run my settings at max and can do so and stay stable and 30 40 fps but now im maxing out my gpu somehow and im at 10 fps. I have my fsx tweaked with bufferpools and all and I really have no idea why this is happening if anyone can help me it would be so greatly appreciated. P.S. sorry I most likely posted this in the wrong place i dont use the forums much.

  21. i'm a casual player of FSX currently training and enjoying the game I don't know if this question has been asked here already but, I want to know if it is possible to have a local co-pilot. By local co-pilot I mean a friend that sits besides me, in real life, and also control the planes functions (maybe even by using his own HOTAS system). I've been messing around with woodworking recently and I thought that build a cockpit for a plane, like so many people have, would be a good challenge. All i want to know is if I can have a friend beside me so I can make a cockpit for two people or if I should make a cockpit just for myself. thanks in advance!

    Hi all, I just recently bought a new pc and P3D worked find when i first installed it. After trying to make some joystick calibration changes the game suddenly crashed and everytime I start it up it comes up with the message that Prepar3D exe has stopped working. I can't work out why it's done this so randomly just from a joystick calibration change. I was having problems with the controls before it crashed as the rudders were not responsive and the joystick felt stiff and the game randomly froze when control imputs were excessive. Maybe my joystick is too old for the game? It is from at least 2005. Can anyone help me as I am extremely confused right now? I've uninst…

I don't know which simulator to choose (P3D, FS, XPlane...): - I would like to fly liners like A320/330/350 B737/777/787 - What I am most interested in is the avionic in the flight deck and on-board systems (FMS, PFD, ND, EFB (does it exists?), functions like "TERR ON ND", etc) - I would need a flight planner that would generate the flight plans and import it in the simulator - Realistic AI flights, with real airlines - A weather radar - Virtual ATC Does a simulator provide all this (I would buy dedi…

  25. Hello, New member here. I downloaded Infinite Flight to my iPhone and it was working fine. In the last couple of days though, it's been acting up. Upon my picking my aircraft, destination and filing a flight plan, I go to take off (after setting flaps for takeoff) and when I start my rollout, the aircraft suddenly wants to pull left and run off the runway and crash. I'm at my wits end! Please help! Thanks! BTW, cool forum here!
