Hi basementflyguy (sorry, I couldn't find your real name), I am using since January this year the tool FS-Flight-Control (created by Andreas Breitschopp). It's the best Instructor station I found in the past. I am flying on PC since 1980 from the beginning with the first version. So over the period of time I moderate a group of about 10 PC-Pilots. During our (in my home location) meetings, I was looking for an instructor station with which we can better train our flights. I found some years ago the iStation from Louis Gordo, which was acceptable for me at that time. But now all of us are impressed about the professional and high sophisticated software "FS-Flight-Control" from Andreas. I do not explain the function here due to the wonderful website https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/en/ which is selfexplaining. In my group all purchased a license for their own usage at home. During my group sessions we are flying now one approach after the other. This is real fun. Especially looking on the moving map and the landing statistics at the end. I hope my post here makes your decision easier. Please ask, if you want to participate in my experience. best regards Alhard (EDDN) PC pilot since 1980, WIN7, FSX+FS9, 3 PCs, 6 Monitors, IVAO

Thanks , Jim , I understand, that is what I expected. But what I see is the other way round: the oldest first and on top. Therefore my previous question. What is wrong in my settings ? regards Alhard

Ja, Peter, auch andere User benutzen diesen "Trick". Ein Umkopieren der FSUIPC.INI macht dann doch nur Sinn, wenn ich auch mit mehreren unterschiedlichen SimStarter Profilen die FSUIPC Kopierei implementiere. Automatisch ginge das doch nur mit einer einheitlichen Namenskonvention zwischen FSX_XY.EXE und FSUIPC_XY.CFG Ich werde mal den Zeitverbrauch testen. Gruss, Alhard PS: habe dir eine Mail gesendet

how can I sort the posts with newest first, in descending date order ? Didn't find the feature in settings. thanks and regards Alhard

Hi Peter, would you please add at the end of your video how FSX starts, with home screen or with the configured flight ??? How did you set "SHOW_OPENING_SCREEN=???". Thanks

Hallo Peter, ja dieses Feature benutze ich schon seit längerem. Der wesentliche Anstoss, es zu nutzen, waren meine Helikopterflüge, für die ich andere Szenerien und andere FSUIPC Einstellungen gebraucht habe. Mit Simstarter wäre es auch möglich mit viel Umkopiererei. Ich muss zuerst alles CFGs in die Standard CFGs kopieren (mit SimStarter File Operations) und dann wieder zurück kopieren, da während des Fluges ja Änderungen in den CFGs passieren könnten. Der Testaufwand wäre doch zu Beginn sehr hoch. Ausserdem bräuchte ich hierfür eine Möglichkeit beim SimStarter ein Parameter zu übergeben, der dann die individuellen CFGs steuert beim Kopieren. Ich könnte natürlich jedes Profil individuell hierfür programmieren, was kein Problem darstellen würde. Nachtrag: Ich habe auch ein ziemlich komplexes Programm mit Excel geschrieben, um die verschiedenen CFGs (FSX, Scenery, FSUIPC, Aircraft, Devices, etc.) untereinander zu vergleichen. Dies brauche ich, damit ich schnell Änderungen in der Historie und auch bei den CFGs meiner Flusifreunde feststellen kann. Wenn die Anpassungen dann alle in SIMStarter gegossen wären, wird der Vergleich wohl etwas schwieriger. Daher wäre eine SIMStarter Lösung mit parametriertem CFG Aufruf günstiger. Gruß Alhard

Hallo Michael, danke. I will try. Now see newly editied post above . Thanks to Michael.

Hallo Peter, when I click on "Profileinstellungen" I get this error message (see attached screenshot) The assigned FSX.CFG does NOT contain " * = BLOOM_EFFECTS ". This happens on all buttons of all profiles. What is wrong? What information do need more ? What can I do ?

Hallo Peter, my problem with SimStarter is: I cannot use the FSX feature of different FSX.CFG names. Here is my explanation of this useful feature: You can start FSX with an EXE-name like "FSX_xyz.EXE". That program call, calls the related "FSX_xyz.CFG" AND (this is important) the related FSUIPC INI "FSUIPC_xyz.INI" also !! That means, I can configure special configurations identified by "xyz" . And now SimStarter comes into play. With Simstarter I can configure all possible personal FSX configurations, and that is pretty good, but I cannot do what I described before. Peter , I sent you by email a more detailed description in German. What do you think? Does my request make sense or is there a better solution ? regards Alhard

Hi WILCO/FT Airbus pilots, I am glad to inform you about the new method, to use the Saitek controllers Multi Panel, Radio Panel, etc. with the FT A320. Ulrich the developer of SPAD.NeXt (http://www.fsgs.com/forum/index.php) has integrated some days ago all WILCO Offsets to the SPAD tool. The Offset are provided by Eric Marcianos FSUIPC-Exporter. I hope this is good news for you, at least for me.

Hallo Peter, I hope you are still connected to this forum. My question is: could you please send me your WILCO profile. I am configuring my Saitek controlers with SPAD.neXt and therefore I need LVARs for the A320. thanks+beste Gruesse Alhard. btw: I am using your SIMSTARTER tool

Hi tin_can,As follows, here is the response of my friend Klaus:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi tin_can,my name is Klaus and I am living in Nuremberg, Germany, very close to Alhard

Good morning Noel, good to see you again.I will answer (A:) your question (Q:) below:Q: "Are you starting and stopping FSX in windowed mode, but actually flying in Full Screen mode?" A: Yes, but NO for flying. I fly in windowed mode as well for performance reasons. Q: " Are you 'undocking' each panel except the main, 'outside' view?" A: I am undocking each panel and the outside view as well.Q: " I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I've never seen a need to undock it, since I'm not moving it." A: The reason for undocking the outside view to the TH2GO monitors is, that the "primary" display (Microsoft wording) with the task bar at the bottom is the 4th monitor (touch screen, see attachment).Q: "you have made sure that the screen resolution for each video adapter in WinXP and in FSX (Display Settings) is correct, right?" A: Yes, (attachment to follow, as an example I added two screen shots of my personal FSX configuration).Q: "I have seen sporadically, times when even though I correctly set the resolution for each display in FSX, for some reason, it reverts to something like 1024x768," A: Yes I made the same experience.Dear Noel, I hope these answers and pictures make it more clear.Thanks for your assistance and for the keywords. I will go on searching.regardsAlhard, It's time to go to bed.PS: I have been in Brisbane and Sydney in 1984 on a business trip.

Hi Noel, thanks for your quick response.Yes, you underderstood my problem correctly. I alway have to rearrange the main outside window to full size over 3 monitors in windowed mode and the undocked panels after loading one of my stored flights.Therefore it is important to know where FSX is storing these values. It is not in the panels, as you supposed.I try to prepare screen shots to make it more clear for others in this forum, even it is I think.But Noel you can help me in a different way: please give me some ENGLISH keywords for my problem, so I can google around. It is often my problem not to have the right english kewords, as it's not my native language.best regardsAlhardPS: you are living in Brisbane-Australia????
