I purchased 2024 about 2 weeks ago. I was waiting until the PMDG 737-800 was available and my virtual airline had our livery ready. it took me all of two weeks to get all the setting and assignments tweaked (yoke, throttle and cameras etc). Big improvement over 2020 in my opinion. I deleted 2020 this morning while waiting for Microsoft to clear up the network outage. Hope that’s not a regular problem.

I've spent many, many hours flying in Misty with FS9, FSX and now with FS2020. Not only have they created an awesome scenery package, they also are a great community. You can find a link to their Discord channel from their website: https://return.mistymoorings.com/z20_homepage/index.php.

I had been using the DC-3/R4D for FS9 a few years ago and just yesterday installed it in FSX-SE using the free upgrade. You probably already found the answer to your question above, but here is what the manual says: IMPORTANT: There is a bug in FS2004 that causes its DG and the main DG to adjust only in 10-degree increments when the Sperry is switched ON. When it is OFF, the card will adjust in one-degree increments. There is no known fix for this problem, however, as a work-around, using the wheel on a wheel mouse will allow single-degree adjustment. I plan on attempting my first flight later today. Your description about using the Sperry Mark III "autopilot" is helpful and refreshed my memory. Thanks,

Do you have re-install these add-on's after you installed the Beta?

The PMDG aircraft work beautifully in the current release but are plagued with the TERRAIN.DLL problem on long flights. It has been reportedd that the latest Beta of FSX-SE that was released corrected that but broke the PMDG aircraft. This will have to be addressed by PMDG after the final release of the new "non Beta" version. Last time it took several weeks for them to make a patch. It is my understanding that there is no way to opt-out of the new version of SE when it is released...it downloads and installs automatically. So, if you planning on long haul flights with PMDG aircraft be aware.

I recently upgraded my computer and was able to move up from FS9. I had ordered the boxed version of FSX but while I was waiting for delivery, the Steam version was released. I read everything I could on the forums, but the deciding factor was when Pete Dowson endorsed FSX-SE. I have the unopened boxed version still in the shrink-wrap. Everything is working very well: Orbx, REX and PMDG. I know there will be some work ahead with the soon-to-be-released FSX-SE updates and some of my add-on's but believe this is the best sim for me until someone develops a 64-bit program.

You need to uninstall FSX-SE and Steam. Then re-install Steam in C:\ Then re-install FSX-SE with will automatically go in your Steam folder and will look like this: C:\Steam>SteamAPPS>Common>FSX

Craig said: "Re-install the old Simmconnects at ;- C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\FSX\SDK\Core Utilities Kit\SimConnect SDK\LegacyInterfaces\" I did this and now I get an error when I start up FSX-SE (fresh solo install) Doesn't like ObjectFlow.dll and the ObjectFlow_SAK from the ORBX Objects Library.. If I rename them to "*.xdll" the message goes away.. I think I read somewhere that ORBX is fixing this. Don't have a clue what disabling them will do to the sim. Before I reinstalled the old Simmconnects, I didnt get the error. Made a couple flights and everything works okay. Many thanks!

No special effects with high setting. With Low & medium setting effects look about the same, as I describe above.

I reduced my setting to medium. Navigational lights seem to work, Water effects look good. Chimney smoke looks like bubbles :-(

This is very helpful to me. I just bought a computer that can run FSX. Now I am trying to decide whether to install FSX or FSX-SE. Thank for all your time Bofajking!

Hey Donald - The Reno Uninstaller did the trick. Great program! I believe I have everything cleaned up.Thanks for your help! Steve Canham

Dan, Still no luck. The installer does not give me the option to repair or uninstall. If I run the original installer, It says that I have a more recent version and I would need to uninstall the update before I re-install the original. The update (update_1.2) is not listed on Add & remove programs, so I can't uninstall it. I have re-installed the update but that doesn't have an option to repair or uninstall either. I also ran the Flight 1 FS_RegistryRepair. That had no effect. I guess I will open a ticket. Sorry about the multiple posts. My browser said the server timed out. Thanks for your help. Steve Canham

In preparation for upgrading to FSX, I am trying to delete all my FS9 aircraft including the 747-400 Queen of the Skies. I made some sort of mistake the first time and couldn't get the Windows 7 Add and Remove Program to execute. When I clicked on 747-400 Queen of the Skies, nothing happened. So, I re-installed everything to see if that would help, but I am still having the same issue. Is there a manual way to do this? Thanks, Steve Canham

Good info. Thanks guys.
