  1. I have just purchased Prepar3D v4 and tried the Carenado A36 Bonanza /default in Prepar3d v4). I was expecting to find it with the Aspen EFD1000 but instead the airplane is equiped with analogic ADI ad HSI. Can somebody tell me how can I get the Aspen EDF1000 version into Prepar3D v4? Shouldl I buy and install the Carenado A36 separately for that? Thanks
  2. Hi. I have just purchased the Phenom 300 and I am trying to map the spolier controls to my HOTAS, but I cannot make it work neither using the standar FSX mapping controls neither using FSUIPC registered version. Did anyone of you managed to map this to your controllers? How? Thanks in advance
  3. I have multiple ORBX products and if I have them all activated at the same time I use to have continuos OOM (Out of Memory) problems with complex aircrafts (A2A, Flight1 B200.....) The only solution I have found is to deactivate all the scenery I do not use on that very flight and for this I use the nice Scenery configurator program. I have several FTX regions plus Global and vector. Usually I fly on one or two of the FTX regions in North America and have the Global deactivated. I have a doubt with some files I am not sure if I need them to fly for instance on the Pacific Northwest Or Rockie Mountains. Those are: ORBX!OPENLC_NAMEAMERICA1 ORBX!OPENLC_BASE Apparently having then activated or not does not change anything if I am flying in one of the regions for instance the Rockie Mountains. Since I want to reduce to the maximum the number of files activated in order to avoid the dreaded OOM error, I would like to know if those scenery files are really needed and part of the FTX North America regions or just part of the FTX Global. Thanks in advance.
  4. I have purchased the F1 B200 and I am extremely pleased with it. After the SP1 the aircraft is really great. The performance matches the Flight Manual, the possibility of using Navigraph AIRAC on the G1000 is essential and one of the coolest features is the "maintenance module" where all your flight time and errors are recorded. You have to take care of your aircraft and unlike other modules you have to be careful managing your engines and brakes.... I usually fly mostly the PMDG 737NGX and the Majestic Q400 but the Flight1 B200 is now added to my regular aircrafts and I am enjoying it every minute. I would have preferred it with the Collins Proline 21 avionics since I am not much fan of the G1000 in real life. Said this I have to say F1 B200 G1000 is the best I have seen in FSX so far. Has a lot of useful functionalities and it really helps you to manage yor flight. It is true the aircraft comes with very few liveries but some talented people are already working to produce more. The aircraft comes with a nice 100+ pages manual including detailled checklist and perfomance tables and this is someting I value a lot in such payware products It may still have some "issues" to iron out but one of the things I like most is the F1 Support and how they support their customers. So I am a happy customer of the F1 B200 :rolleyes:
  5. Ok, I found a permanent fix for this absurd issue. And it is really absurd and simple.Simply bring power to your aircraft, thus powering your radios. I use to change the VHF 1 to UNICOM 122.8 and AFTER this is done I launch Squawkbox as as external application, connect and voila, no more troubles.Nice and smooth.I have not had any troubles with this since I am using this method.So make sure you have your airplane radios energized and with a valid frequency selected befor connecting to SB4.End of the issue
  6. I have this ver problem as well and I am not using FSinn, I do not even have it installed. I use Squawkbox instead but with weather turned off.This problem does not only happens with the PMDG NGX but with other addons as well.Yesterday for instance I was flying the Flight1 ATR 72-500 and I had a TAT of +37ºC at FL190 and a SAT of 27. It was a night flight over the Alps and glancing at the ASE wind and altitude report, the values were minus and correct, around ISA.The ATR aircraft perfomance was degraded a lot, like if it was really flying at FL190 with 37ºC, I could not make more than 180kts of it and forcing the engine.I have this same trouble with the PMDG NGX.I do not know if this is a trouble of my own configuration of ASE or it is an ASE trouble itself but I belive it is really worth investigating.One of the reasons I use ASE is to have the most realistic weather possible and to be able to make perfomance calculations. This issue is "killing" all perfomace calculations I can make. I do use Squawkbox to connect Vatsim but I have the VATSIM and FSUIPC weather turned off. I have ASE to download weather.I only use wind smoothing in FSUPIC. I had flown the ATR with AS6.5 in the past with FS2004 and the temperatures worked real good. Now they aren't. Can you please take a look at this? Thanks Raul Ortiz
  7. I found a way to fix this issue and prevent you get an FSX crash although this "fix" will not prevent from having tjhis type of failure message. The fix is just intended to let you continue flying online without an FSX crash.If you are flying online and got the dreaded pop-up message, DO NOT CLICK on any of the pop-up options. First disconect Squawkbox and then QUIT (Close) Squawkbox. Once the Squawkbox is gone, click on the IGNORE option on that pop-up window (Right option). It will close the pop up window.Give the sim a few seconds and it will run nicely again although maybe it will be initially paused. Then inmediately start Squawkbox again, connect online and keep flying online like if nothing has ever happened. Chances are the pop-up message is not showing again on this flight. If it does, simply repeat the procedure.As I said, it is not a solution to PREVENT this happens but at least it is a solution so you do not lost your flight mid-air by a FSX crash.Hope it helps
  8. I am absolutely enjoying the PMDG 737NGX. You guys have forced me to ditch my FS2004 with a ton of payware addons and carefully crafted configuration for the new adventure of FSX. So lets say I am old hand in FS2004 but a total NOOB in FSX.I have carefully followed all the PMDG recomendation for setting FSX to work with NGX and I have to say this is a real jump in PC simulations. However I have some doubts about the appropiate damage configuration for the NGX and also for FSX.I do all my flights online in VATSIM, and I have dissabled the "Allow collisions with other aircraft" but in the sake of realism I would like to use the "Detect crashes and Damage" and "Aircraft Stress causes Damage" I Have seen on the recomended configuration guide that no FSX engine modelled damage is advisable and I wonder if the other "Detect crashes and Damage" and "Aircraft Stress causes Damage" settings are ok with the NGX. I would also like to know if it would be possible to configure the FSX damage system so it does not kill a full aircraft when parking at 0.5 knts the wingtip bruishes the finger or some building.It is very annoying that if due some scenery glitch the airplane just bruishes an airport object the full aircraft is considered "CRASH" and the FSX reloads to the initial mission starting including moving the aircraft to the departure. This is very annying and although I know I can dissable that just simply dissabling detect crashes and damage, this for me would render the simulator completely arcradish since I would be able to make a touchdown with 6000 feet negative vario and no damage.Does anyone know how to "adjust" the damage settings in good realistic way but without affecting the NGX required configurations? Thanks in advance!!!
  9. Yeah, seems broken.Well you can also get it from this siteClearView fix for E-JetsAlthough it says FSX it also works perfectly for FS2004!!!!I will edit the first post link to add this one.Enjoy it!!!for some reason I cannot edit my first post so please get the Clearview fix for the E-Jets on the link I just posted above.I just tested it and works nice. :(
  10. I have bought this excellent aircraft payware recently and I cannot stop using it and enjoy it. I have actually parked the rest of my payware aircrafts while I am flying the E-190.However when I got the aircraft there were 2 things I didn't liked much so I begun to search the net to try to figure out some soultion.I didn't liked much the small size of the PFD and MFD and EICAS panels. It was difficult to read and work with them unless we fullxy expand them using right click which rendered some important AFCS buttons unavalaible.However I have found the solution to this, Lylan Walters have posted a very simple and easy way to resize the main 2D pannel in a way that the PFD, MFD and EICAS screens are more readable and easy to work with rendering the cockpit a much more confortable place to work. It is about tastes but I like it this way and the screens are much more realistic this way.You can find this useful "fix" HEREAnother important thing for me regarding an aircraft are proper PHO and perfomance documents.So for this I have found the follwing documents on the net.First I found a detailled and nice tutorial for the E-Jets, A very nice intro for begginersE-JETS TUTORIALAnd if you would like to master the comples AFCS system of the Honeywell Primus Epic, or some other systems of this aircraft, you can get some nice manuals here:SmartcockpitGet the documents under SYSTEMS. I strongly recommend the AUTOMATIC FLIGHT SYSTEM document. Would help you to get the most of your E-Jets Primus Epic.And if you are a real hardcore guy and you want the real thing you can get the full E-170 Pilot Operating Handbook (almost 1000 pages) here : E-170 POH Hope you like them!!!If you found some other interesting stuff for the E-Jet lovers, share them ;)
  11. Hi.I have a trouble with the VC of the 737 600-700 series.As you can see on the picture the cockpit is messed upSeems I did something wrong whie I was installing the merge for the Reality XP radar.All works good for the 800-900 series but for some reason the panel.cfg file I saved was corrupted or damaged while moving it around.Can somebody mail me that file? Just for the 600-700 series.By the way, I have some questions that I would be really happy if somebody could answer.Is it possible to make the TOGA command work in a Joystick?Somoe of the liveries avalaible on PMDG are listed as Air Berlin/winglets Air Berlin/Stairs.While I know what the winglets are and the models are just great, I wonder what is this about stairs. I thought the model may deploy some stairs but I have been able to make that happen if that feature is really included.Can anyone bring light into it?Thanks in advance
  12. Will ask support then.Forgot about the name thing, sorry.By the way just discovered how to extend and retract the stair so disregard my previous question about it.Do you happen by chance to know a way to make the TOGA work in a Joystick?ThanksRaul Ortiz
  13. I have exactly the same trouble. For some strange reason, just those two functions cannot be assigned to a Joystick.The Go Around still works if I press CRT+Shift+G but does not work with the Joystik. Rest of airplanes have no such trouble and same joystick command works nice but not on this plane.Any ideas?
  14. Hi thanks for the answer. However I am confused a bit.To have the Reality XP WX 500 on the cockpit I know I only have to run the installer but what I am looking for is for a way to "integrate" the weather data into the Navigation Display that is merging the gauges.I am not sure if with this fix you post here this is accomplished, can you please confirm that?Have any screenshoot about how it looks like?Thanks alot in advance!!Ciao.
  15. Hi.Just bought the 737 800 and 900 and I have the Reality XP WX500 since some months and I would like to merge the radar on the EFIS and I would appreciate any help and guidance on that sense.I cannot image such a nice plane with a working weather radar.Thanks in advance!!
  16. Thanks for the tips:After tweaking the cfg file I get a good perfomance around 20 to 30 fps however something strange is happening since if I log into VATSIm with the SQUAKBOX , when I load the SQUAKBOX then my perfomance is reduced by 50%. I guess is something related to have "extra windows".I will try to get some guidance about this. Thanks
  17. I finally found it although well hidded on a different folder name on my Spanish Windows.I will try to "finnetune" FS. Thanks a lot!!!!Anyway any other tips about perfomance for my case?
  18. I have a nice FS9 set up with plenty of sceneries and add ons, mostly payware airplanes and avionics and some weather tools.For some unknown reason the FS9.cfg file is missing from my computer.I searched on the usual folders and then I performed a full hard drive search. Nope. I searched several times but not to avail, it is not here.I have fs2000.cfg but not the FS9.cfgI detected this one year ago but my flight simulator was simply working fine so I saw no need to insist on this.However recently I am sufferent a fps perfomance on FS, I belive it has nothing to do with the missing FS9.cfg since this file was missing long ago before the pooor perfomance begun.I have read in some forums about a way to improve perfomance via the FS9.cfg.Any of you is missing as well that file and have a good working system? Any tip how to sort this out other than reinstalling FS2004?Anyway most of my troubles with FS came last weeks when I installed the new Forceware drivers for my GEFORCE 7800 GS-OC. Months ago I was having a regular 15 to 30 fps on FS2004.Now perfomance is fluctuating a lot going from moments of 50 to 60 fps to a bare 4 or 5 fps while landing.I have deteted that perfomance lowers when I load the VATSIM SQUAKBOX. However it is curious that when I am about to Take off the fps are still around 10 to 20 but they degrade after some flying time for a regular 8 to 9 while on 2D Cockpit while on cruise and some poor 4 to 6 fps when landing, that makes life very complicated.The latest Add on I installed was the Reality XP WX 500 Radar and the airplanes I do regularly fly are Flight 1 ATR 72-500, Dreamfleet 727, B-58, A-36, Wilco PIC 737 and Airbus Pack 1 plus Captain Sim C-130.I also use Active Sky.My system is a Pentium 4 2,8Mhz with 1 Giga RAM and the GEFORCE 7800 GS-OC of 256 mg.Any guidance, tips or suggestions would be truly welcomed
  19. >I know I am a nobody around here but I still want to voice my>opinion on the Dreamfleet 727.>>It is the most underrated add-on aircraft for FS9. This plane>is a winner !I cannot agree more. I have my hard drive full of payware add ons and the dreamfleet 727 is still one of my favourites.It is a pilot's plane that if properly flow is just a pleasure in all aspects. I am flying it regularly.I do fly it on FS9 1 patched and XP and I have to say this is one of the best "plug and play" add ons ever. No complicated install instructions or complex steps, just install it configure it and fly it.No a single trouble on FS9 and XP on my side.With this add on Dreamfleet can surely use a marketing campaing about "if you are not pleased they reimburse you the money". Lol it will cost them 0 dollars. ;)Surely a winner.
