I bought the -400 for $9.99 and successfully managed to tweak the necessary cfg files to reduce both power and weight and it flew a lot better. Then just started to use mods that became available on flightsim.to. However, it was always the -300ER that I wanted, so once again, got this in the sale with the intention of tweaking the cfg files to improve upon the default 747 parameters. Unfortunately, every time that I applied a reduction in the fuel tank arrangement, the sim ended in a stutter-fest. I narrowed it down to which lines were causing the stutters, but never managed to fix it. So just abandoned it. Which is a real shame as it looks lovely both inside and outside of the cockpit.

Is this not a simple Community folder installation ? Got an email from FSDT the other day stating all products, inc GSX Pro are 30% off and was tempted. But I really can't be doing with files being installed hither and dither as per the old P3D days.

For me, it has nothing to do with CTDs and stability, it has everything to do with time. On a lot of occasions, I just don't have the time to complete a flight. Being able to save, then pickup from where I left off, weather changes notwithstanding, is how I would benefit from a reliable save / load function. And it obviously can be done as I have used it with the PMDG which, btw, was great for takeoff practises - shame FSiPanel, as far as I know, can't be used for this purpose...

Totally agree. However, if FSiPanel is capable of completely configuring the Fenix for an approach at any airport you care to mention, including the MCDU, based upon the approach parameters, then surely it shouldn't be a giant leap to do the same, but this time, based upon saved parameters ?

Yup, totally agree !

Ah, I see. I guess this begs the question why would anyone buy this version then ?

Not too sure what you mean by the 'Steam Edition' of ASN, but I'm certainly running ASN networked with FSX SE without any issues ?

I can confirm that ASN will definitely run networked (via simconnect) as this is exactly what I do - can be tricky to initially configure with simconnect though ! Another programme that I network is AirTrafficManager, which plays very nicely across the network. Others are FSPS's Runway bumping Effect and PFE. Basically, if the programme is designed to run across a network, then that's what I do !

If you're just interested in loading FSX with custom profiles, then their freeware version does the job superbly - no longer supported, but free ! http://aviation.pero-online.de/wordpress/?page_id=105

Same problem in Aerosoft A319. Quite easy to solve. Create a clone VC camera position in EZCA to the one that you use to fly the a/c, but disable the zoom feature. That way, the same view serves two purposes depending upon whether you wish to zoom or not. Btw, I use the keys, Shift+0 or Shift+1 to 'switch' between the two views - although technically, I see no actual change in view. Gary

It would appear that I actually had two, unrelated issues: Installing IE 11 removed the script errors - many thanks ! However, the PC still locked up after selecting "Free Flight". After much searching and experimenting, the cause of the lock ups was eventually traced to a "rogue" NVidia driver version, 361.43. See: http://www.avsim.com/topic/480728-psa-nvidia-driver-36143-breaks-combined-aa-modes-in-nvi/ Uninstalled, updated to a more reliable version and the problem has gone. Gary

No, I'm running Chrome as I don't use / like IE. But current IE version is 8. Thanks

Hello all I've only just installed FSX SE, which seemed to go fine first time that I run it. However, now whenever I load FSX SE, it opens on the Home tab and I'm faced with the following script error. I have to click "No" to three different, "Do you want to continue running scripts?" error screens before the home page loads. The problem comes when I attempt to load the Free Flight tab; FSX SE just hangs with no Free Flight info loading. Even worse, the whole computer locks up, needing a hard reset to reboot. Various Steam forum postings suggest updating Java, which I've done, but to no avail ! If I remove FSX.cfg and restart FSX SE, the script errors still appear, but three "no" presses does get me to the Free Flight tab ok. However, shut FSX SE down, restart and once again, it locks up attempting the Free Flight tab. This problem does seem relatively common, but I just can't figure it out - any help much appreciated as I've hit a dead-end... Gary

Hello all Have finally decided to move over to FSX SE, and although I'm pretty sure that the majority of my FSX addons will work fine, I do know that Aerosoft's AES will not. However, I also use GSX, so I'm not to bothered regarding service vehicles and there's always Ctrl-J for jetways. But, the one thing that I will really miss is the way that AES replaces the runway textures of third part airports during rain to a far more realistic interpretation. So my question is, is there a utility available that can replace the runway textures of third party airports as per AES ? I know of Airport Enhancer HDX, but this appears to only work with default airports ? Thanks guys Gary

Try these,.. Gary
