  1. Good evening, This is my first post in this forum. I write because when I'm flying the AeroSim's 787 and I move a fix in the CDU to fly direct, when I click on "EXEC", the simulator inmediatly crashes. I try to remove each addon one by one, but I can't find which is the problem. Does any one know how to resolve this failure? Thank you very much.

    Hi, I am guite new on this forum so I will start with a question I haven't really got a good answer on. I want to stick with fsx se and i wondered if theese spec is good to run addon like pmdg 737 777 and so on and some sceneries like mega airport oslo x with great performance (30 fps and over). Thank you for answers :)

    Hello, We are attempting to install the PMDG 737-8900 NGX Base Package on our simulator to begin setting it up. We are using a Pro Plus install of Prepar3D, and are installing the aircraft on the computer that will be running the VC and handling switch inputs, not the PC handling the exterior views. We are running a fresh install of P3D v3.4, with only some extra plugins to manage the simulator and modify scenarios in real time. When we run the PMDG installer it gives us an error, telling us that our simulator is outdated. Why is this? We are running v3.4

    Seems like a long running problem. Running FSX SE with PMDG 737. Sometimes, with no apparent pattern, cursor no longer changes to a hand to control knobs, switches, etc.. Can sometimes get it to come back via view changes, zoom changes, etc., other times not. Any fixes or known "don't do's" to keep it from happening?

    I purchased Prepar 3D V4 on an Alienware Area 51ALX computer running an Intel Core i7 at 3.3 GHz. I am considering purchasing PMDG 777 software but wonder how much performance I will lose by not having a dual or quad core processor. My video card is an Nvidia GEFORCE 1080 Ti. Please help! Thanks.

  6. Hello friends, I'm a 31 year old male (husband, father of 3, business owner), on the cusp of being able to afford a real plane (and building a house right next to someone with a grass airstrip - woohoo!). I've been fascinated with flying my entire life. One of the very first computer "games" I saved up for was Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000. I used only my keyboard, but even as a 14 year old, I was captivated. I never tired of what my friends considered the peak of boredom. Since then I've flown commercials a hundred times, and I've got two friends with planes. One who has a share in an old beat up Skyhawk; the other who has a very nice 2-seat kit plate …

    Dear all, My name is Maurice, a 28 year old from The Netherlands. Flight simulation has been my passion since FS2000. At that time I was just playing around with the concorde and was pushing that aircraft to the very limit. A lot of fun for a 12 year old back then :) When FS2002 came out I started flying seriously with the in-sim planes. With FS2004 I got seriously addicted with addons such as PMDG 737, LevelD 767 and way later with the iFly 737. I also started flying online at that time. FS2004 was my end station as my computer did not ran FSX at all. So my flight sim carreer went out like a candle. Now it is time for a new start, with a new system and in the…

  13. Hello guys (copied this text from steamcommunity, no answers there..please help) Now I bought fsx steam edition after having a unwanted break from fsx in about 6 years, back in the days when I fly IFR, I was used to have the option Request Flight Following when I´m middle of atlantic or flying through Europe or elsewhere. Now I just have the radio contact with ground, tower, approach and departure frequencies. I cannot land IFR, although I filed on my flight plan to do so, how do I fix it and do ATC Centers stopped automatically pop up on ATC window? I have not downloaded any ATC add ons whatsoever, and when I have Flight Following from different approach freque…

  14. Hello everyone! Has anyone of you managed to run successfully the "PMDG_NGX_ConnectionTest.cpp" example in P3D v4 from the SDK folder? On my side, I have some issues: What is working: It runs and connects correctly to SimConnect: I can use the shortcuts "Shift + Ctrl + B/C/D". What is not working: - Shortcut "###### + Ctrl + A" (ie toggle TaxiLightSwitch()) - Entering into ProcessNGXData() function. (I checked with printf). It seems to me that the 2 lines to put in the "737NGX_Options.ini" ([SDK] EnableDataBroadcast=1) don't work. Has anyone of you faced the same situation? Thank you .

  15. Hi all. I know i am new to these forums, but i need help with my T. Flight Stick X. I've had this problem a long time ago but it hasn't been fixed since i didnt use the stick anymore. So When i want to calibrate my Stick, i see that the throttle is all spazzing out. However, when i pull the stick up (for ailerons etc.) It stops spazzing out and reduces. When i push the stick forward it increases. I've tried to reset it multiple times and calibrate it but no luck, the same problem occurs. Please help! Floris

  16. Hi there! Apologies for not posting this in the "Library" forum, but I'm currently unable to do so due to being a new member. I don't appear to be able to download any files from the AVSim Library at all. They all become immediately corrupted. I'm running Windows 10 version 1703 build 15063.483, non-Insider. The issue persists across all browsers I've tried so far - IE, Edge, Firefox and Chrome - albeit the case that it manifests itself slightly differently in each: IE (11.483.15063.0) and Edge (40.15063.0.0 with EdgeHTML 15.15063) both ask to download the file, then when I click "Save" immediately say "[filename] couldn't be downloaded". On pressing "Retr…
