I installed using FSX rather than FSX-SE and it worked. My only other problem with this, and other photo real sceneries is that it looks terrific when flying over but the buildings disappear when flying low or taxiing.

Installer does not recognize FSX-SE on my computer. The only flight sim I have installed. Sent Simwest two E-mails about a week apart. Have not yet heard back from them.

I put the FS2Audio.dll file in both places (win/sys32 and win/sysWOW64) as per the instructions. It would be nice to have the sounds when the switches are tripped and the seat belt signs are turned on or off but everything else appears to work. I am very happy with this plane. One of the few add-ons that actually handle on ground like a real plane. Lou

Hello: I just installed the V1.30 for FSX. I am running FSX-SE on Windows 10. Never used FSX so it is a clean install. I followed all the directions for installing V1.30 plus updates 1.3l and 1.32. Everything works except the panel sounds. Engine sounds are perfect. I get the following messages: before the panel loads -- Invalid XGS path. Error code 0x80070057 File Error One or more Xact Project files could not be located at the specified location. At this point the panel loads, going through all the mini panels. Then the next messages reads: Tinmouse Eror No active audio device. I click OK and it goes away. Everything now works except the panel switch sounds. I have read some of the posts here but they all seem to indicate corrections for FS9 on a Windows 7 system. Is there a correction for Windows 10 with FSX-SE?

Sorry: took a while to get back to this. The problem is really with ALL add-on aircraft. I think Stans is correct when he says this is caused by importing FS2004 aircraft. Just to satisfy the people who want a specific name: gac46v2.zip Curtis Commando by Libardo Guzman, et al. Gmax modifications by Tom Gibson. FSX panel installed.

Stans: That is exactly what is happening. I just wondered it there was a way to overcome this. It can be a bit disconcerting when using outside view.

Thanks for the quick responses. I did mean 360 degree turn, sorry. I use CH Flight Sim Yoke and pedals. My home airport is Thunder Bay, ON with the Simaddons version installed for FSX-SE. The problem also shows up at other FS addon as well as generic airports. I installed the Aerobot 154 C-150 by Bob Chicilo and this works excellently. That is' it takes off like the Cesnas I watch at the local airport. Haven't had a chance to fly yet so will respond again after trying your advice.

Hello: I fly in FSX-SE on a Win 10 computer. I have found that my add-on, prop driven aircraft have the propellers disappear when close to scenery such as buildings, trees, etc. It appears as if the propeller goes behind the building, tree, etc even though I am parked in front or flying over. This does not happen with the original aircraft that came with the flight sim. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

Hi: This has been bothering me for some time. Started with FS9 and now am using FSX-SE on a new computer. (Win 10) It takes aircraft too long to take-off. Sometimes it is well beyond the end of the runway before leaving the ground. This is unrealistic. Watching aircraft at my local airport would indicate they need to pick up speed faster in the flite sim. The other problem is the turning radius. I have yet to be in a real aircraft that cannot do a 380 turn at the end of the runway yet in flite sim I constantly have to revert to the slew mode to make the turn. Are there some easy, not overly technical methods to correct this?

Thank you Bjoern. Downloaded the prepar3d sdk, pointed the ADE compile at it and it worked.

I tried a forum search for this topic but found nothing newer than 2007 and none that answered my question. When using ADE to edit airports it is necessary to change the xml file to bgl. This requires SDK which came as part of FSX and does not seem to be available without. FSX-SE has an SDK file but is missing the files "shp2vec" and BGLComp.XSD. Have these files become available elsewhere for download? I only have FSX-SE installed. Lou

I have also been trying to find a copy of PMDG B737-800/900 for FS4. I have the downloaded B600/700. I know this is the PMDG forum but if the aircraft are no longer avaible from them, is there another 737-900 available in United Air's new colours?

Hi: If you are still looking for someone to take the unit off your hands, my grandson is a member of 66 Challenger Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Cadets. Their computers are even older than mine and I am sure they would appreciate receiving a better one. Whenever my grandson is over to the house he spends a good deal of time flying my flight sim. (FS 2004).

Love the last question. Haven't had spotted dick for several years. Must discuss this with my wife. With regards to the type of flying (long distance, local, etc.) more than one answer should be available. I fly as the mood hits. Local sightseeing if I am in a hurry, long distance passenger or freight if I plan on spending time at the controls. I have AES at some airports and enjoy the complete immersion when time permits.

Sorry. I posted this topic twice. Please disregard or remove this one. It is also posted as FSNav. That is the one I am following.
