Thanks for the note.I've actually pulled the hub out of the loop (tried a different hub too, still same issue). I'm trying to plug directly into the USB ports on in the back, on the Mobo to simplify things. I've tried a 2nd USB keyboard into the ports, and Vista recognizes that just fine. When I try my Saitek AV8R, or my CH yoke, or pedals, on the same port (after removing the 2nd keyboard) it does not recognize them, and gives no indication that anything has been plugged in. I also tried to "force" Vista to scan for devices by using device manager and successively "disable" USB enhanced controller entries in Device Manager - nothing.It has to be some Vista issue, or some setting in Vista. I have a laptop, with Vista 64 also, it has the same issue now too. Just before I packed them up, they did a vista update from MS. Now they don't recognize any USB game devices (they do recognize HDD's,mice, & keyboards etc.). I've tried to roll back all the updates, and tried an "upgrade" install - no joy.I'm stumped!I just don't want to have go down the clean window install route as that just stinks!!ThanksBill

I have an issue that suddenly happened upon my moving, and re-assembling my computer that I use for FSI have Vista 64-bit, and now it does not recognize any of my USB joysticks, CH yoke & pedals. When I plug them in, I get no "sound" that they are connecting. They don't show up under game controllers under device manager either. When I plug a USB HDD into the port, it gets recognized by Vista.I've gone the route of a "repair/upgrade" install in Vista, and still no joy! I have the most updated drivers for my motherboard/sound card/ethernet/video etc. I even went and bought a basic joystick to see if it was the controllers themselves. The new joystick did not work eitherAnyone have any ideas? I'm stumped. I'm "locked out" of FSX without controllers!ThanksBillIntel I7 - 920Vista 64 SP216meg RamGigabyte GA-RX58-UD4P

Hello,You can add me to the list of OOM errors with ASA & FSX (WinXP). Just tried the same flight twice, once with ASX, and once with ASA. Both were long (KJFK-RJAA), and both had Radar Contact & FS Commander running. The ASX flight completed just fine. The ASA flight received a OOM error after about 45-50 minutes. I can't do a flight over 45-50 mins with ASA, and not get an Out of Memory error.Hopefully they will work this one out soon. ThanksBill

Jim,I was able to get ASA running, and updating after a complete, uninstall, re-install. And then only if I started FSX FIRST, and then layered in ASA (This was EXACT OPPOSITE of what I had to do to run ASX properly).Thanks.Bill

Here you go.Thanks for the help!

Hello,I have installed ASA, and it seems to have installed OK. When I try and use it to generate weather in FSX, it does not seem to be communicating with FSX, and no weather updates occur. I am using FSX Acceleration, and it is NOT a network (I do have a registered version of FSUIPC installed). ASA seems to be communicating with the servers and downloads weather, but does not update it to the sim. All I get is "Fair Weather". ASX (which I upgraded from) still works perfectly well, and is able to update the weather in FSX just fine.I was wondering if this might be a Simconnect issue? I even tried the "downgraded" SP1 version and still no joy. ASA seems to find FSX, because I can launch FSX from within ASA.Any help would be appreciated.ThanksBill

I've run into several of my AI aircraft if FSX that now suddenly "glow" when their lights turn off.See attached picture.I only run into it with the Fruit Stand A300, FSPainter MD-11 & A310, and Aardvark MD80. The picture attached is at KMEM at night. There are several EVAI DC-10's & AIA B727's that you can't see because they are properly blacked out.Anyone have any ideas how I could fix?ThanksBill

I saw Pan American Airways on the list -PAN AM as in RCV4How about Pan American World Airways - CLIPPER?It just seems kind of wrong to be tooling around in a Pan American B707 and not be referred to as "CLIPPER".BestBill

I thought that the MD-11 was FS2004 only?BestBill

Yeah, Simflyers.I believe that Ocean Flight are all ex-Simflyers. It looks like a re-work of their previous designs. I gotta admit that the price is nice. Even if the only one I don't have already is KMCOBestBill

I've taught myself how to paint with the Aerosim paintkit for the SP. Even able to figure out alpha layers to get my American SP reasonable. Its really rather straightforward. If only I had more time, I'd clean 'em up and release 'em (United oc too).BestBill

Here are a couple of early works-in-progrss on some SP repaintsBestBill

I still have issues with anything assigned to the 747-Cargo page. No matter what I assign in terms of keys.I believe that it has to do with how I have the repaints installed however. I don't want to have 700Meg tied up in one plane with all the repaints I have. Each of my repaints are able to be added in and out seperately by each having its own folder,aircraft.cfg file, and .air file. I just alias the sound and panel as appropriate. Its the way that I have all of my 1000+ FS planes/repaints setup, including the PMDG747-400 PAX with no problems. That way I can move them in an out of FS as I need them. With the 400F, however, any settings with the 747-cargo page do not have any effect on any of my repaints. The "main" install, that I only keep the PMDG liveries in, seems to work, if that makes sense. I'm pretty much resigned to having no "full cargo" visual functionality at this point. Kind of a shame though. BestBill

:)You know, even I could maybe on a really, really, good day figure out how to repaint that one.BestBill

Here's further research. I can get the default liveries to work, but when I try my Air China,Cargolux, or Polar (all I have before the server restrictions) they DO NOT work. Hmm?? I can't imagine a livery installer would cause the issue. But I'll try to re-intall the liveries and see what happens.BestBill
