  1. After some other issues yesterday, I noticed 737 FX were not as they should be, and saw an unusual protocol error when attempting VFXCentral login. Decided to look at main site to see if there was a new product version perhaps and am getting a 522 error.

    So with 3.2 I did fresh installs and finally downloaded VFX Central. It keeps mentioning that I do not have FSUIPC (which I dont, have never needed it) so I was just wondering if I need it. I have the effects pack and the Airbus effects. Thanks.

    CP is a great app! I see a good opportunity for development and I have one idea. In the column "Static" I always add the view from the control tower of the newly established airport. This information is always available in ChasePlane cloud. Since I have around 100 installed ports, it is sometimes difficult to remember my collection and choose an interesting route. It would be great to open the world map Google and see all the installed ports there. Prepar3D does not provide such an opportunity. I think this is easy to organize based on stored information about static views. And the collection of my ports will be visual.

    Do you think it would be cool to see heat shimmer (like what is seen in XP11) in P3D? I think it would add a bit more realism to see this distortion coming from the APU when sitting at the gate - but hay that's just me. Kevin

Many thanks for the help James Lynch

    Good evening, I have noticed when I load P3D that I have an error screen that states "Corrupt Download". I was able to pinpoint it to VFX, but cannot pinpoint it further as everything at face value appears to work. Any ideas on what or why this is happening and maybe how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

    Hello I've just purchase 787 Immersion using a different PC to that where P3D is installed. I followed all of the purchasing instructions including activating the product. However, I now realise that the activation instructions omitted to inform me that once activated, it would only run on the machine where it was activated. So when I loaded up VFXCentral on my P3D machine, it's now telling me that the product's already activated. Hence, I now can't install it ! I noticed that the support section states: In case of a new computer purchase or major hardware changes, you can transfer your license to another computer once every 90 days without asking for…

    Just wondering why I keep getting a warning every time I start P3D after installing the pmdg747 immersion pack, I'm continuously getting a warning to open VFX Central first to activate my serial number, but it also says it's already activated, something to do with the new immersion manager?

    Hello, I just bought a license for Chaseplane from your website and received it through mail. Sadly I can't create an account on your webserver. I get an error saying I should try again later. My browser... in fact all my three browser tells me there's a crossorigin error when validating the info for the new account. Could you tell me how I can enjoy your product, create an account and register it? I would like to use Chaseplane now I bought it 😉 Kind regards. EDIT// I did find a way to create an account. I received the mail confirmation link but I still got the error. Only Firefox worked there. There's an issue in the XHTTP request m…

    It hasn't been 48hrs yet but this is pretty silly... all the other addons I've used are much quicker than this and even have the option to reset/deactivate previous installs. I've been waiting; I requested it so soon because my PC of 2 years crashed and for some unknown reason I'm unable to boot or even reinstall windows yet everything appears to work normally otherwise I wouldn't be here asking for a reset.

    I have my panel in cold and dark and my 787-9 panel will not work. The mouse is stuck in hand mode and I am unable to make any selections no matter where I place the mouse. The 787-8 panel works fine as it should. When I set the panel back to normal with power, the mouse hand is still stuck in the hand mode and it will only let me move the captain stair back and forth with left and right mouse click. I deleted the camera cfg and I installed and uninstalled QW787 with the same issue. I loaded Prepar3d without chaseplane and the mouse pointer was back to normal.

  22. Hi guys,I got problem with running VFX Central after fresh install. When I try to open VFX, all I can see is the window with downloading update and as soon as it reach 100%, another window appears, saying "Another process is blocking the updated process: System". After clicking "OK", application will close. This is the second time when something like that happen. In past after several re-installations, it started to work and I though Windows Update somehow interfered with it but it can't be it. I did not install any system updates between un- and install process of VFX. I attached the link (https://imgur.com/a/r2z8Uxt) to the screenshot with this error. I tried to find…

    Has the idea of engine exhaust heat becoming an effect like the way it is in X-Plane or DCS? This would be an amazing enhancement and I was just curious if this had been discussed, etc. Thanks!
