Just have it up and running in P3D2 2.5. BUT - mostly it will refuse to init and give a "FATAL ERROR!". The above happens in 8-9 out of 10 starts and restarts of VoxATC. WIN7-64 bits and Speech Recognition works flawless. Once it has "Inited" OK it works for that FS session. Very annoying. Any suggestions ?? Best, Bjorn

Just a little added info: I got CTD every time after scenery loaded until I figured out that I had "fiddled" with the FSUIPC weather options ! After reinstall of FSUIPC and deleting the ticks in its weather options (Wind and Clouds) P3D worked OK. I have ASN, all ORBX (FTX) addons as well as 100 GB of addon airport scenery + FSGS2010 and Pilots Ultimate. Those does not caus P3D CTD:s. ( ASN is reinstalled with a new beta for P3D v.2.3 and works OK. ) Best, Bjorn

Hi again, Here are some teasers from the coming ESGG scenery, please observe that those are from an early beta.

Hello, This looks OK :mellow: However we are in the process of releasing ESGG Landvetter during the autumn as payware. All new additions that has landed in ESGG since our outdated FS9 scenery will be included as well as a multitude of buildings. All buildings are fully rebuilt up to todays standards and have new supersharp textures. The photoground surrounding ESGGt is an approved for resale, new version and it is not "borrowed" from Google. :unsure: The apron ground as well as the taxiways will have full ground polygones with stand signs, stopsigns, wig-wags, all taxiway and apron signs from latest official AD2, center lights, turnoff lights etc. This scenery is for FSX and P3D 2.2 and 2.3 only. Release date not yet descided on as the scenery now is approximately 95% ready. It will likely be released via SimMarket, but not under our old Swedflight name. Best, Bjorn Harlin SWEDFLIGHT DESIGN A little teaser image will be uploaded when I find out how

It claims to be a B737 clone - but looks many miles away from that. If it had looked like the real thing the price would have been acceptable, but it now seems hefty overpriced to me.

I have a strange problem that I need help to solve.When starting FS9 it crashes after 10-20 seconds (in the start cycle) and I have to restart.A white/gray sign says that "FS9 has encountered a problem and needs to close"After usually a 3rd start attempt it starts normally.I have tried the old trick of deleting FS9.cfg as well as the flights, but that does not help.Best,Bjorn

Hi,The decision to make the future planes (especially the B737NG) FS9 compatible is a wise one.I have a superfast new computer, but frame rates and performance are still substandard in FSX.I use a single computer to run my home flightdeck with a lot of added FS hardware/software.I have both FS9 and FSX installed, but for any "serious flying" I prefer FS9 and sees FSX as a compliment for VFR flights only.True, the FSX "ground" and weather capabilities are a bit better, but this does in no way compensate for the lack of add-on scenery and the bad frame rate.With regard to scenery - the add-on airport scenery building standards we are used to from FS9 cannot be archieved yet in FSX and probably will not as there are essential features lacking in the FSX scenery compilers like ground layering.This for example prevents us from using ground layers like "stand information" on the aprons, smooth taxilines, own textures, overlayed textures like concrete stands over asphalt etc.All above features are essential for an old pilot like myself who likes to fly in and recreate a real-life airport environment.So - I will stick to FS9 with hopefully soon PMDG737 Ver 2 at least until FS11 can offer me a better sim.Best from SwedenBjorn HarlinSwedflight Design GroupScenery www.swedflight.comOur B737NG simulators at: http://web.telia.com/~u60405310/

Have not tried the mentioned push program myself, but I believe i is using the FS "slew" mode. If so you have to stop the push with a key combination. Otherwise you will remain forever in "slew" mode which cannot be interrupted by brakes or thrust. Those only work in "normal" mode.Best,BjornBjorn Harlin

Mee too :-)Currently building TWO B737NG simulators and it would be a pleasure to run PMDG on those instead of the pricey but good Project Magenta.http://web.telia.com/~u60405310/Bjorn HarlinSweden :-jumpy

My favourite is EZ Landclass by Russel Dirks.Search for - ezlc301.zip - in AVSIM File Library.A very easy to use tool which connects direct with FS9/FSX so you can place the tiles exactly where you like.Requires MS Excel (in the MS Office packs).Best and good luck with your LC changes.Bjorn

There is nothing that can match a Matrox Triplehead2Go setup.The analogue one we are already running in our sims with PMDG737NG on a standard P4 3.2 processor without problems (NVIDIA 7900 graphics). ( http://web.telia.com/~u60405310/ )The new DIGITAL one will similary run on the same specs system.However, if you intend to upgrade to FSX + VISTA (=DX10), you will need a NVIDIA 8800 series graphics card.FS9 and PMDG will not be able to "fill" the graphics card in a 8800 based system since the processor is/will be the bottleneck.Markus tip above for a quad processor is a good advice when it comes to FSX with the SP1 installed. (Multicore support)FS9 has no multicore support at all.The benefit with the NEW digital version is that you will be able to take away the effect of the four middle screen frames.E.g. with the analogue one the overall picture is "stretched" at the "frames" so it will become slightly "jaggied" when banking the aircraft - with the new digital one it will be "seamless" so the "frames" will cover some of your view but with no jaggiedness.Release date in EU expected to be beginning/mid August this year.Best,Bjorn

Never seen any X:es on the ground on closed taxiways.Usually they are marked with a traffic stopbar and red lights.Bjorn

Hi Blake,You might have to use a XML Exclude to get rid of all default objects.I suggest you make an exclude file with the help of Paavo Pihelgas execbuiderV2.zip which you can find in the AVSIM library.Best,Bjorn

Hi,I cannot get the control sufaces to show in Lower EICAS even if this option is ticked. Anyone has clues?Also the keyboard command SHIFT+4 for MCP Press CMD R "disappear" when reloading next time ??Best andHappy New YearBjorn

JAR OPS Rules within EU:Daytime - No runway facilities = 500 meter RVRNight/Day - Edge lights or Centerline markings = 300 MetersNight/Day - Edgelights and CLL lights = 250 MetersNight/Day - Same but with RVR for whole takeoff area = 200 MetersThis was for CAT D/E AircraftCAT A/B/C can takeoff in 50 meters lower RVR except for a runway with no facilities where 500 Meter is the lowest permissable and only t/o permissable in daytime.So the lowest permissable for CAT A/B/C is 150 Meters when CLL lights and edge lights are available (and on) and the whole takoff run does not go under 150 meters RVR (= multiple RVR readings)Best,Bjorn
