I use and recommend the Internet Download Manager. It's not expensive, plugs into your browser or use stand alone, not only faster but if there is an interruption it can usually restart the download from where the interruption occurred. I've been using it since when I had a slow DSL up to now where I get 400 mb/s. I really like it.

All airports and ILS navaids in FAA jurisdiction have data available free at https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/aero_data/ (hint: Click on eNASR Browser). This data includes a lot more than you need to correctly place and configure runways and ILS components in ADE. I also use Google Earth, but for placing the PAPI's correctly and setting a correct length of blastpad. The NASR data will include runway displaced thresholds as well.

Mine is working just fine with Orbx NCA, I have not even looked at the Aerosoft Forum since I don't have an issue.

Why the patch? I am using this product in v5 no problem. However, I've found that quite often when the AF file is modified in v5 that often there is a problem with autogen on airport surfaces and elevation issue abound.

SBKP is regularly visited by Atlas B748F aircraft, I've flown in there a number of times with the QOTSII. Nice scenery. It's my first from Paulo Ricardo and I wouldn't hesitate to buy more.

So this is another misfire? I currently have something from Photo-Real that is a basic ADE based design. Lot's of cargo goes through KOAK. Hope this works out.

Sure... first you have to download the SDK installer for P3D from their downloads page. Then you install the SDK where ever you want or accept the default. I create a new folder in the P3D root (<P3D>\SDK) and install to that. After installing run the ConfigSDK.exe tool in the SDK folder (or the folder where you installed the SDK. Now that you have the SDK installed and registered, you will find what you seek in the \World subfolder of the SDK. For example where ADE needs the path to bglcomp you will provide the path to \World\Scenery\bglcomp.exe. It would have been faster for you to read the ADE manual on the Basics and Install beginning on page 14.

This comes up in flight sim forums occasionally.... in reality a perfect landing is not a smooth almost cannot tell you landed landing. I want a firm solid landing especially if there are variable winds. Really hard landings are something else... but as long as you don't bounce it is probably ok depending on circumstances. Arcade games will give you a score based on descent rate at time of landing.... but that is for gamers not pilots.

Dang... I spent 10 min looking in the Introduction so I could provide the page reference and I missed it. Still looking, is this in the Introduction? Oh yeah there it is: Page 87. Facepalm. Ryan... welcome back!! Out for the summer?

I recall this being discussed during testing, the 777 has a simulation option to either "roll or drag" the mins and baros but it also has different options on the real aircraft. This is the only method for the 744. The thing is, there are far fewer complaints on this than you probably expect there to be. I guess a number of folks will never like this but it's not hard to get used to. I usually overshoot the target a little in the fast slew mode but setting the number never takes more than a few moments, and I always try to preset it during my pre-descent flows when there is no hurry. Regarding pushback.... get GSX.

Rhett, the aircraft autoland feature does not require that the ground based ILS system be certified as a CATIII system. This is up to the pilot to know such things, and you should have dialed in the minimums for ILS27 (492 ft MSL) and before reaching minimums it is up to you to disconnect the autopilot to land manually.

Hey Robert, thanks for posting that update. Interesting. I have been using IDM Internet Download Manager for several years now and it has never caused a problem with any download and it also opens multiple ports to maximize the download speed. There is a nominal cost for the software but they keep it up to date often and integrates very well with IE and Firefox and probably others.

Terrific that was a neat trick. I wonder why running the updater you had didn't work.. good enough.

Sometimes the disabling of IPv6 does the trick. Not all ISPs have the IPv6 capability, the difference being the size of the IP address. IPv4 is the old way.
