That's why I was specific about passenger status in my original post -- I prefer to fly passenger routes. I fly cargo for my VA on occasion, but cargo doesn't really do anything for me . . .

I bought the iFly 737NG about 6 months ago when it first was introduced, and I've flown practically no other plane since.I own all of the above aircraft and probably agree, in theory, that the MD11 is probably the most complex, but it's not as realistic for me as it is no longer in wide spread commercial passenger carrying usage, at least in the US (where I live). For me, that fact really detracts from it's realism...just my 2 cents.

Also make sure your battery switch is on at all times. :(

Aerosoft's XPax?

Hey, Mad Dog! I decided to take a pass on this for exactly the reasons you question it: mainly because it seemed to do the same as REX, which I already own and Love, and I just couldn't imagine that it would do a better job. At that price, I'd love to find out I was wrong though.Best regards, buddy!

Thanks for the heads up! FYI, I have all my computers set up to create an automatic restore point once a day at initial boot up. (RPs are an utter nightmare on Windows 7!) I have a script written for it if anyone's interested.EDIT: ADMINS: Can you tell me why I might keep getting double posts from the OP (and only a few) others?

Pro Flight Emulator's Taxi Guidance System (TGS) module is very, very good.<< http://www.aerosoft.com/cgi-local/us/iboshop.cgi?showd,5758492940,10544_1 >>

THUNDERBIRDS TO THE RESCUE!! Too Cool . . . thanks for the heads up!

Also, hit the Num5 key a couple of times (with num lock off? I think) before starting engines -- that centers all your flight control surfaces, rudder, aelerons, etc. Then make sure your default flight is saved like that.

I'd be interested in knowing this too . . .

Thanks for posting the solution, martinlest2! :( :( :(

Since no one else has chimed in here yet, I'm just going to suggest that you:1) Post the manufacturer of each of these sceneries2) Your system specs: CPU, Memory, Video Card Etc. (An example of system specs can be found in my signature below.)If these are very complex sceneries, and you're running with high amounts of AI, what you are seeing may be perfectly normal for a system like yours.

Helloooooo, Ian, my friend! I'll PM you shortly to find out how your new system is working out. . .thanks for the help with this; I'll check it out!

Where are you guys running this? On which folders, specifically?

You can also run a search on user: 'january' both here and in the Hardware and Video Cards forums -- he has written tomes on the topic over the past 2 or 3 years, and is LEGEND here in view .cfg entries.

Yeah . . . uh, JEEPERS, that's great Alex -- we're all SO happy for YOU. Would you like to share with us where you got it, what it's from, etc.?

Glad you found the issue! I made a lot of custome minipanels my first few years -- until I expanded my hardware to 3 and then, finally, 4 monitors.

BANDWIDTH! We need more BLOODY BANDWIDHT!!!!!!Oh, the HUMANITY!(Honestly . . . geez, that's f***ed up!)

Have you added the correct "minipanel" title and definition sections to the panel.cfg file. Something like this:[Window Titles]Window00=Main PanelWindow01=Upper PanelWindow02=Throttle QuadrantWindow03=GPSWindow04=Mini PanelWindow05=GroundhandlingWindow06=PFE Taxi GuidanceWindow07=FMC....//--------------------------------------------------------[Window04]file=747FPMINIPANEL.bmp size_mm=512,384window_size_ratio=1.000 position=0visible=1ident=MINIPANELwindow_size= 0.580, 0.380window_pos= 0.230, 0.620gauge00=fpb747!PFD, 111,4,140,275gauge01=fpb747!EIC, 257,0,149,282gauge02=fpb747!AP, 20,287,469,88gauge03=TGS!TaxiGuidanceSystem, 7,180,92,97EVERYTHING must be spelled exactly the same, and the first window must be "00", not "01". They must all be sequential, too -- if you accidentally skip a number when numbering windows anything below that point in the panel.cfg will not appear.HTH.

How much better can it be at 18 bucks?

Some add on has probably hijacked or remapped your 1 key (and others) to perform a different function. It could be in FS9 or some other program you've installed.Also, have you tried a different keyboard?

Well if I'm flying American Airlines, they have such a low on-time record I always think of Twisted Sister:We're Not Gonna Make It! NO, WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT . . .!

Amazon has them. EDIT: Right heah: http://www.amazon.co...5811393&sr=1-75 The ones in the picture are made by Ergotron. Do a search on that at Amazon and you can see all of their monitor stands.

Thanks, Andy! I was afraid of that (I think). Isn't there a Traffic something 2008 though? I'll have to look around myself. Thanks, again guys! This may be cool -- I used to think it was a bit overpriced considering it was developed over 4 years ago, but if it gets me a frame or two extra, I'll now wish I had supported it with a full purchase. Very much "my bad".
