I am trying to make a fs9 xml work in fsx. It's for auto rudder switching. Here is what I have for fs9. Seems to me the first 'value' is holding me up. I have tried a number of things but nothing seems to work. I think if the comparison of Var1 returns a 2 it quits right there and will not go foreward. I do not fully understand XML syntax so therefore I am at a standstill. Comments or help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Paul <Gauge Name="ARudder Switch Version=1.0"> <Element> <Position X="1" Y="1"/> <Select> <Value>(G:Var1) if{ (G:Var1) -- (>G:Var1) 2 quit } (A:Auto coordination, bool)</Value> <Case Value="0"> <Image Name="autcrd-off.bmp" Luminous="Yes"/> </Case> <Case Value="1"> <Image Name="autcrd-on.bmp" Bright="Yes" Luminous="Yes"/> </Case> <Case Value="2"> <Image Name="autcrd-pushed.bmp" Luminous="Yes"/> </Case> </Select> </Element> <Mouse> <Area Left="1" Right="38" Top="1" Bottom="38"> <Cursor Type="Hand"/> <Click>10 (>G:Var1) (>K:AUTOrudder_TOGGLE)</Click> </Area> </Mouse> </Gauge> ..

I notice there is only one key F12 that invokes a tail only camera view. I managed to re-assign a combination of ctrl+shift+F1 for a wing view. I would like to know if anyone has a set of key combinations they use for invoking the different camera views. In the same vein there is a little program called 'fscamerax' by Gunnar Daehling that will generate camera view text files for inserting in the aircraft cfg file. It looks pretty good although I haven't put it the test yet. Any input will be appreciated. Paul

My computer is a HP p7 pavillion with 6 gig mem and quad core amd cpu. Win7. No problems with FSX. On board sound and graphics AMD Radion. 1 T/B drive. Really pleased with it so far.

I am getting into Windows movie maker. I am looking for a codec that will handle the FSX video files which have the .fsr extension. I have looked around the internet for such a codec but no luck so far. Or maybe I should just give up and try using FRAPS. I suppose I am on a fishing expedition here. Any comments will be helpful. Thanks , Paul

Again, thanks for the replies. In my case, HP computer with onboard sound thingy, I fooled around with the sound settings tab. In my case I chose the second of three choices. The first was default settings. The second was ' headphones, etc' and the third one I can't remember. Anyway, I chose the second one relating to the headphones (and whatever) and that cured the problem. I hope my answer is not too confusing as I realize not every one has the same computer that I have. Thanks again, people. Regards , Paul

Thanks for the replies. I haven't had much time to check things out but in the sound setting tab in fx I checked 'use default devices'. I will check things out again and make sure what I did was correct and repost here. Paul

My engine (all?) sounds fade away and then come back. Is there a tweak I could use in the cfg file to cure this? It is an annoying situation. Computer is an hp p7-1154 with AMD Quad core A6-3600 processor. Thanks in advance, Paul

I have an old rwy12 creation that I need to delete and restart. Where does rwy12 deposit the bgl file when it's created? I changed computers and have been doing search on search using as many search targets I could think of.. I am pretty sure it has become a rougue file that defies locaton. I can't remember how I named it a few years ago. I found an xml file that relates but don't know what to do with it. I don't know where to look for the bgl.

I think I am squared away now. just a little dumb

I have Abacus EZ scenery. After a lot of searching I found a Q&A on their web site that addressed this problem. It looks as if the program is buggy and will not tolerate certain things. The best they could offer was a work-around. Inasmuch as that is the case, I am about to delete it from my machine and never go back to it. So for me, it's problem solved. I like ADE. Scruffyduck did a nice job. Regards, Paul

Registered version on two computers. One win 7 the other win xp. I didn't mention that I have ADE on the win 7 machine. I wonder if that is the problem. Also ever since I put itin the XP machine (also the w7 one) the cursor keeps leaving the scene and it makes it tough to navigate around. As I mentioned ,I can place objects OK on the XP machine but not the win7 one. The one (7) tells me the bgl type is not compatible so I have to quit it. Still scratching my head.

I Just tried to install EZ scenery on my new computer running Windows seven. My old machine is running W Xp and that seems to work OK (except the cursor keep going away). I tried to re-install it but that didn't help. I seem to be missing something but I don't know how to correct it. When I go to a pristine airport and try to add an object the program wants to install it at a different airport (??). The program will also tell me that the file format doesn't match. Very frustrating. Any comments that will point me in the right direction will be appreciated

Tinhead59...I am good to go now. I just reduced the size and dragged it where I wanred it. Thanks for the tip. And thanks to other responders as well.

That is weird. I just added scenery. I ended up having to go into the scenery config file and edit the entry there for it to work. I looked for similar entries and emulated one of them to make my addition work. Frustrating. That was for fs9.

I am using W7. I accidentally hit some wrong key combinations and now my fs9 displays are in the upper left corner of the screen. Acouple of years ago I did the same dumb trick. That time it was with Win XP. Some kind soul bailed me out. I looked around the help files in win 7 and couldn't find anything. There was a key combination that I was able to use to center the display for fs9. The rest of the game works OK. It is just with the various screens starting with the main one that are displaced. I hope someone can come up with the way to move things to the center like they shoiuld be. Thanks in advance.Regards, Paul

On board sound. FsX is where this happens. Fs9 is Ok with the sound as is everything else.

The engine sounds in my fsx fade slowly to inaudible and then fade back again to usable. It is a cyclic thing. Every couple of minutes or so. Do I need to tweak something??

for a 737 when you are dead on glide slope and the airspeed is around 140 kts, depending on landing weight,the nose is high enough that you only have to ease back on the throttles between ten and 30 feet and let the mains touch down. You can hold the nose up if you want to but you also can let the nose drop on its own til the nose wheel touches and then apply spoilers, reversers and brakes. It takes practice but it works for me. Make sure your plane is below the "maximum landing weight" figure on approach.

After a couple of years I finally bought a new computer with an AMD quad core and AMD grahics engine. My frustration with fsx continues. I think the worst thing MS did was to withdraw support for the fs 98 gauges. The question now is, what does sp 1 and sp2 do for the sim? Can I run it successfully without those "upgrades"? What does the acceleration pack do for the sim.? If you can point me to archived posts or answer me directly i would be happy. Does anyone know what is in store for the FS communtiy with the pending release of the new sim? Thanks, Paul

Thanks for the quick responses. Among other things I just got a new computer. I seem to barking up a wrong tree. The problem is with fs2002sounddramfleetxx. In my old machine It all works ok. I copied over the entire file from it to my new computer. When I run fs9 Iget that error message but then if I click thru the error messages the plane loads ok and I can carry on. If I move it to FSX then I get the error message and it aborts the load process. Maybe the new computer doesn't like what I am doing. So I guess I am in a fog right niow. I will keep trying. I'm still open to some more suggestions. Thanks.

I moved a payware plane from fs9. When I select it I get an error message regarding "direct sound 2000". Then it aborts the load process. Looks like fsx is not happy with the sound files. I am looking for a fix or work-around. Any ideas?

I was having trouble with the wrong version of simconnect installed. I read a thread on here (I forget where it is). On disk 1 I installed the SDK. Then I followed a suggestion from the thread . I got into the registry with regedit and did a search on simconnect and deleted all the entries I could find. It was a long process. Be careful with regedit. Be sure to not delete any entries that might mess up your system. I went back to the SDK and installed the simconnect thing. I think it installs three versions. This routine cured my problems. My test platform was trying to install FSrecorder and fsuipc. It worked. The culprit seems to be that version 10.0.608xxxxxx was the reason it wouldn't work. Well anyway, I'm back in business.

It seems I have a major issue with simconnect in FSX. The correct one doesn't seem to be in there. I am stuck and don't know what to do about it. I ran the repair function from the fsx install disk but that didn't do any good. I have sp1 installed. Help, please. Thanks.Paul

I have fsinn/fscopilit installed. FSX is on the D: drive. AT some point on the opening screen a litle window pops up titled FS Copilot. The message is "failure to load simconnect". I do not have fsuipc in FSX. Is this my problem, or is there something else going on?Paul
