Thanks, Jim.

I am thinking of purchasing the Orbx tree package. I have space issues on my hard drive, so was wondering if this package completely replaces the default trees, or if it makes two tree databases, one Orbx and one default. How much space does this package take?

I uninstalled SP2 and then installed Acceleration. It didn't corrupt anything. Installed the Superbug with TacPack without a hitch. Thanks for all your help!

Ok, Burt, so you are saying uninstall SP2, then install Acceleration, and it should not mess up any scenery or addon aircraft?

Ok, so I can't use any pay ware carriers without Acceleration package? And if I install the Acceleration package, will it mess up my scenery and addons?

I currently own FSX Deluxe and have added SP1 and SP2. I usually fly civil aircraft and belong to several VA's. I have e ton of add on aircraft and scenery, along with ASN. Recently, I saw the VRS F18 Superbug and it intrigued me. I am thinking of joining a virtual navy organization with that aircraft. I want to be able to take off and land on carriers and do carrier ops. I saw on one of the military VA sites that you need FSX Acceleration to do this. My question is, can you do it without the Acceleration pack? I don't want to risk messing up my current installation, and definitely don' t want to have to start from scratch and reload everything. If I can't use default or AI carriers without the Acceleration pack, are there any pay ware carriers that would work without it? Can anyone help?

If you turn that switch on, will it keep the batteries charged while doing the preflight checklists, or will the batteries die during the prescribed FSX battery drain time?

How do you get external power in this aircraft? I click on the "external power" switch in the cockpit, and check the meter above in ext pwr position, and nothing.

Are there any click spots in the VC to open the pop up CDU's? I know you can open them with key commands, but that always crashes FSX to desktop for me. I need this function so I can load the cards. Otherwise, I have to go to the 2D panel just to do that. Thanks.

Thx for the reply, Dillon. How about system realism? For instance, if you don't press the auto spoiler arm switches on the overhead panel, do the spoilers still deploy? Do the fuel pump cross feed switches work like on Matthias's panel? I am addicted to system realism.

How does this pay ware compare with Matthias Liebrecht's panels and Murchison's freeware aircraft? I know they don't have a VCR, but they were great otherwise, especially if you integrated the ISG gauges into them. If this pay ware is not significantly better, not sure I want to part with my money for it. Anyone have both and how do they compare?

I currently have the 737NGX for FSX. I also have all of the PMDG aircraft for FS9. I was thinking of purchasing the MD11 for FSX as well, but am wondering if it will mess up the NGX installation, as I know in FS9 you needed to install the aircraft in a certain order. Is that true of FSX, and do I need to uninstall the NGX, install the MD11, and then reinstall the NGX, or can I leave the NGX as is, and just install the MD11? Hope this made sense. :(

Does the NGX have callouts on takeoff (80 kts, V1 and rotate)? I flew my first flight with her, and I didn't hear them. Great aircraft, by the way!

OK, thx, Bryan!

Is it possible to use the same microphone for FS2Crew as you are using to talk to ATC on VATSIM, or will talking on VATSIM somehow interfere with FS2Crew?

I just checked the link, and it is working on their site. Are you clicking on the links for precision manuals links (two of them), or the panel.cfg link (one of them) above it? The panel.cfg link is the one you should be pressing.

I'd love to see this too, though I know the odds of it happening are pretty low. Just wanted to give you my opinion. Thanks.

I have the same problem. I have an ATI Radeon HD 5670 card (actually two of them in Crossfire mode). I read some stuff on the ATI forums that it may be an issue with their drivers. They are working on the issue, with no hints of when a solution may be out. I would keep an eye on their forums. I feel your pain! If I fly in full screen mode to get the nice looks, I usually end up with an OOM screen, especially with a lot of clouds. So I have to keep it in windowed mode.

Anyone know what happened to Virtual Frontier Airlines? I have tried to access our site for three days now, with no luck. Did they shut down?

FoR AVA, you have to log into their site (you have to join to do that), and go to the fleet page. The JS41 is listed under the retro fleet.

Just did. Went back to FSInn, and no further problems. :(

Thanks, Dan. I already posted in the SB4 forum, and no response from the administrators there. Just wondering if this was happening to anyone else here.

Hello,I am running a program called Squawkbox (SB4) which is an interactive Air Traffic Control Communications site which is connected with the internet and is running as a module inside Flight Simulator X on Windows Vista.During my simulated flight, I get the following " C++ Assertion Failure Runtime Error" stating JIT must be enabled, giving me 3 options: ABORT,RETRY & IGNORE. The game crashes upon choosing either option, my game reads Flight Simulator X not Responding and I have to close out the program.Here are the File Location: "JIT must be enabled"File: g:\sb4_tree\squawkbox\code\util\sbpos.cppLine: 44I know there has to be a computer expert out there somewhere who may be able to shed some light on this issue.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your effort in trying to help me to run Flight Simulator X.I never flew on FSX before, until getting the PMDG JS4100, and love the plane, but want to know if the plane is causing this or SB4. Seems to happen when I try to get a weather report. Anyone else getting this issue?Regards

I am trying to learn the proper way to climb with this outstanding aircraft. Here is my problem. I have my condition levers at 98%, and am on the 295 deg hdg out of KHPN. I am climbing and trim my aircraft to climb at 170 kts. Everything appears stable. I enable my FMC dct to ELIOT, and click on NAV. I then turn on autopilot. As soon as I do, my speed begins to climb. If I use elevator trim to readjust for the 170 kts climb, my AP disconnects. I retrim, and try to reconnect AP. Again, speed starts to climb, and so on. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, Jim.
