Dear all, I have noticed ever since I got FSX that fellow a/c on the taxiways keep a distance to my own plane as if I had the plague. It doesn't matter which aircraft I'm using, be it A320-series, A380 or EMB-190. It's constant stop-and-go for all planes behind me, ahich also cloggs up radio traffic. I know this problem didn't exist in FS9. Any ideas where I can set anything straight (like aircraft radii or sth...)? Or is it a scenery problem (mostly Aerosoft MegaAirports)? Thanks for any help! CF

E190 from EDDS (Stuttgart) to EDDF (Frankfurt) and then on tho Olbia, Italy (LIEO), but aborted that leg (too much work) :(

Dear allHow is it possible to edit Aerosoft EDDF with ADE? I cannot open any of the .bgl. Are we talking about MegaAirport EDDF (which I have and at which I have the same issue)?BestCF

All of you thanks very much for your replies! The APU sounds reasonable, I'll try it out once I get a chance ;)Happy landingsCF

Dear simmers!I've noticed a problem with my EMB-190 jet by WILCO lately: Engine 2 burns more fuel enroute than engine one, leading to a disbalanced flight status on approach (left wing tipping down) and I have no idea where that turns up. All engine and fuel flow readings are identical, whenever I check. Funnily enough, I start enginge 1 first, so it should be the other way around. The difference is always about 150-200 lbs between tanks one and two. Any ideas? I'd be glad to hear them!thanks in advanceCF

Thanks for reading! But forget about it, I found the problem ;) I've backupped WOAI files, but instead of Just backing them up, they were removed, and restore doesn't work, so I have to install them all over again :( So don't ever create WOAI backups!

This is truly odd,after re-installing FSX, AI traffic is clearly visible, the way it should be, gladly. Still, I wanted to make some changes and update flightplans, but I can't find the respective folders anymore! First I thought this was yet another VISTA explorer thingy, but they also don't show up in XP (running both).To my knowledge, ALL AI planes are considered FSX -> SimObjects -> Airplanes with one folder to each model, right? So, how can they happily fly around FSX, but don't have the respective folders where they should be?The problem being, I'd like to make changes in flightplans and also in the fleets, but I can't access the cfg. files if they don't show in the Explorer!Confused and hoping for help.Thanks!CF

Ah, right! Good idea, thanks! It's not that I want to make changes but simply, rather than spending a day flying one long leg, fly a typical pattern of flights on one a/c (like a real flight crew) instead.Thanks again, I'll try TToolsCF

Hello simmers,I'd be interested in finding a resource that shows me the daily routines by aircraft, the daily legs of an LH A321 for instance. Since I can't seem to view them in the WOAI files, maybe there's another resource / means I can get that kind of info?Thanks for any helpCF

Hello Phil,thanks for your quick reply. I'll check it out!CF

Dear all,I couldn't find a thread addressing the problem of increased engine noise switching from cockpit mode to outside camera views.This is especially important since I've arranged camera views in a way to work as passenger cabin views, but everytime I switch to an outside camera, the noise level consequently rises, since you're, well.... "outside"! Since I mostly wear headphones, this can be truely painful at times >:[is there any way to assign specific volume parameters to outside camera views?Thanks in advance for any help!Happy LandingsCF

Thanks to all for helping out! I'll try and go over the settings in due course! there's still other business to attend to :)I thinks simming is more about arranging flights rather than flying them :) Whatever! I love it...CF

hello everybody!I started using the default PANEL for the A321. My guess is that E.Marciano's excellent panel won't work with FSX?Why oh why do I get a "don't sink" alert during a picture perfect ILS approach as of 500 ft AGL? when there SHOULD be a 100 ft increment audio countdown instead! ;PThese are moments when I want FS9 back!Help please? It's needed :)Thanks a lot!CF

...yet I can't seem to find a solution!Hello everybody,the visibility layer discussion has been going on a few months ago, when I thought someone had found the answer it turned out to solve a different problem. I can't find any other threads on the subject though, yet the problem seems to be widespread.Has there been a fix I've missed?The prob is, when diving into a visibility layer, auto-generated weather seems to be resetting every 8 secs, resulting in a short flash of the entire sky, revealing all clouds above the reduced visibility layer. Switching it to "static" solves the problem, yet that's very unsatisfying. Is there any way to enjoy the same conditions?I run an AMD PhenomX4 2.2GHz w/ ATI 4850. I'm installing SP1 as I write this but in other threads it showed that it wouldn't help.Thanks for any help or attempted help.Happy landings,CF

Hello everyone!I have just recently heard about FSBoarding and got intrigued - downloaded and istalled it. The version is 2.2.1a and FSUIPC is 3.2.0.2.Once I try to load FSBoarding in connection w/FS I get the annuouncement that FSBoarding would only work w/ registered versions of FSUIPC.Whereas it appears reasonable, it still seems quite odd to me, since all other and LARGER applications run with FSUIPC just fine. Furthermore, FSBoarding was originally designed for FS2002 and hasn't been updated since (or has it?).Do I just a) have to live with it :( get the full version of FSUIPC or c) change any settings I don't know about and get it running?Thanks for any help....CF
