HiI cannot see the video as you removed it... but.... am I correct that your only issue is that the runway is a few hundred metres off? And that the navdata shows it "should be there"? If so.. Have you installed an AFCAD for that airport? Maybe you need to install a new one. I had a problem as I described for VIDP... and corrected it with a user AFCAD from Avsim. Paul

Just a shot in the dark... but VC click spot vs 2D panel click spot not functioning correctly?Paul

Thanks Mats... someone just told me it's an FSX problem.. the runways are misaligned.Now to look to see if someone fixed it! Paul

Hi, I decided my first proper NGX flight would be Bombay to Delhi. I set up my plan with FSBuild and everything went really well until I broke through the rather low cloud base on finals.... no runway... it seems the navdata or my FSX data are out by about 500m. Could someone confirm whether its a Navdata error? Great plane.... enjoying it a great deal.. and new stuff to learn! Yeah!! Thanks,Paul

Why not install FSX and FS9 on the same PC?That way you get to use your FS9 when you feel like it and also FSX when you fancy! I did that and slowly migrated to FSX. In fact it was quite quick ( despite loads of FS9 payware )... as I found FSX with reduced sliders better than FS9.Now I have only FSX installed on a powerful PC. You could save your pennies slowly for the PC while enjoying FS9 and FSX.There is no rule saying you must be in one camp only.... you can use both!Paul

Hi,I was just reading the review of Cusco and I agree with the reviewer on nearly all points.I live in Peru and visit Cusco frequently. I have many friends that are pilots for Lan Peru.MS seems to have excluded any detail from most of Latin America and Peru in particular. It is welcome relief to have some commercial airport software (finally)! As the reviewer stated, I would love to see Aerosoft quality scenery for Peru but I am sure economics dictate this is unlikely to happen. Developers??? !!! ??? "please?"Airport operation during the PM. Wind is a very major factor. During mid afternoon it changes direction so my pilot friends tell me sometimes they sit at the end of the runway waiting for conditions to move within limits, as the time window can be very short! Remember we are talking high altitude runway and mountainous terrain!When American brought a 757 into Cusco they had to redefine procedures due the "commit to land" altitude didn't meet with FAA regulations.Lan use A319's ( used to be 320's ) which are powerful enough but in the "good old days" it was all 727's ( not so many years ago! ).Anyway.. good to see developers turning towards Peru! Now Aerosoft.. how about SPIM???Sorry my post isn't very articulate.. it's just I am in a hurry!Paul

Thanks guys for the input... due my bad experience with Saitek I went for the CH.My bad issue was with x52pro and the stick.... somehow the springs don't allow me to make small movements.. it sticks and then jumps... I live in a remote country where replacements aren't viable.. so now I will see if CH are any good. Also drivers were not great initially with saitek. ( vista x64 )I would love a better, more expensive Yoke as Word Not Allowed suggested.. but... gotta wife who whouldn't understand.Cheers,Paul

Thanks Philip,I am still debating the issue..... pedals are an issue for me due space. I wonder if the paddles on the CH Eclipse can be used as pedals?I fly a mixture..sometimes heavies from PMDG/LDS and sometimes low and slow... I love the new Realair Duke.It's all a bit of a dilema- especially as my Saitek x52pro failed me, so I am a little nervous of more Saitek! I am a long way away from any support/exchange -in South America.. so that is another issue.I will continue my internal debating....Thanks again,Paul

Hi All,I know this has been discussed a lot but there are new products out that alter the equation.It's a choice for me between the more expensive CH NEW yoke ( with paddles etc ), peddles and the throttle quadrant OR the Saitek yoke, peddles , throttle AND they have a multi addon with gear lever... PLUS a colout LCD display.Now if I went for the CH stuff it would cost about the same as the Saitek.I have a registered version of FSUIPC and I wonder if anyone knows if I could get the RXP 530WAAS to display on that Saitek LCD addon?I know CH have a good reputation but Saitek are cheaper and offer this modular addons option.Any opinions welcome! Plus if anyone knows if I can get the RXP to display on the colour guage?Some links just in case -Colour guage - http://www.transair.co.uk/product4.asp?SID...Product_ID=8268 CH new yoke - http://www.transair.co.uk/product4.asp?SID...Product_ID=8066Multi addon- http://www.transair.co.uk/product4.asp?SID...Product_ID=8065Thanks for any inputPaul

I have a quick question about addon liveries....When I run the installer all goes well.. except it never comes up with a "finished" screen. Is that normal? The livery appears OK. I just find it odd that there is no "end of process message".Vista x64.Paul

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.in the end i went for the f1 mustang. so far i am enjoying it ... hard work to learn which buttons to press... but a great plane.I might well look at that feelthere option soon, but let me see. Also there is the realair duke in the pipeline!Paul

Hi,I just recently moved fully to FSX. i already own the LDS767, PMDG 744 and MD11 as well as the F1 PC12. I am looking for a mid range plane to satisfy my needs until PMDG comes up with the 737.Any suggestions?I thought about the F1 Mustang as an option. Thoughts on that? I am open to anything really ( as long as it's been designed for FSX only ).I am a "systems guy" so love pushing buttons!!!!Any help appreciated.Thanks,Paul

Thanks for the warning, but I would take those with a pinch of salt. Certainly in my case where I I don't use extended warranties ( I guess sold as an "insurance" type policy ). I buy in USA but don't live there, so I have little expectation of any warranty. I check my product immediatly in case of fault, but then, later on, take any issues up with the part manufacturer. It's not ideal, but it's my only viable choice.So far so good with the Gateway.Paul

Hi Aussiecop,Yes I am talking about the FX 7805u.I live in South America and just went up to Miami for a few days.. saw this deal in Best Buy and got it.... the wife has the Toshiba Sli PC but doesn't use it much, so therefore I have both at home.Had quite a lucky trip really.. first I got the FX with the high res screen.. I thought I was buying a 1440x900 but it came with the 1920x1200, and the car rental people upgraded me to a brand new Infiniti M35.. so I had a week of motoring fun too!I have read that poeple have upgraded the Gateway with another 320gb 7200rpm drive raid0 and also that you can now put a quad core extreme in it ( with a bios update ), but for now I will stick with the base unit.I tried it with PMDG 744 and MD11 at Aerosoft's EGLL, ASA, U Traffic 70%, FSX sliders mostly centre right and frames locked at 25 and it stays mostly at 25, which is good enough for me. I was looking at the Alienwares and Toshiba Qosimo but they were super expensive.. now I am sure you get "better" frames with these, but in general this FX was great value.Paul

Thanks for the help.I was thinking the newer Gateway was better, but was just making sure. I'm still trying to get to grips with how much of a difference the Raid0 and SLi would have made on the equation.I will stick using the Gateway.Cheers,Paul
