Is there any plans for a service pack to incorporate a multi-crew environment with the NGX?

I tried something different today. I started FSX, then FS2CREW, and started the checklists and all seemed to work ok. Before, I was starting voice recognition after launching FSX, and that apparently was causing the problem.

I'm using vista 32 ultimate, English edition. I cannot locate the check box you refer to to stop the speech engine from doing windows commands when I just want the 2010 737 (fsx) to do engine start for example. I say " Start sequence is 1 then 2" and the start menu opens. Would appreciate any help, maybe a screen shot of the fix sequence.Jerry=====See my flight deck here:http://myflightdeck.weebly.com/

I use many of the GoFlight modules for everything that I fly in FSX including the B200 from aeroworx. You should have no problems at all.My flight deck can be seen here:Visit My Website

I would like to know how you made the throttle lever extensions for you CH quadrant. I'm using Saitek, but whatever you did, should wok for me.My flightdeck here; My flightdeckplease reply to jerryplotts AT yahoo.comThanks

This is my setup. My Flight DeckI got the plans for it DIY FlightSim DIY Desktop AirlinerUsing the Saitek Yoke and quadrants, CH Pedals, 2 20" monitors. Total cost of the FlightDeck shell about $100 USD.Jerryjerryplotts AT yahoo.com

:( :( :( Well, after a little bit of work, I got it figured out:<Entry><Key>NUM_9</Key> <Down>TOGGLE_TAXI_LIGHTS</Down></Entry><Entry><Key>NUM_3</Key> <Down>Toggle_Nav_Lights</Down></Entry><Entry><Key>NUM_6</Key> <Down>TOGGLE_Beacon_LIGHTS</Down></Entry><Entry><Key>NUM_Del</Key> <Down>TOGGLE_LOGO_LIGHTS</Down></Entry><Entry><Key>VK_ADD</Key> ' This is the Num Pad + key<Down>TOGGLE_WING_LIGHTS</Down></Entry><Entry><Key>F24</Key> 'This is the NumPad Enter key<Down>TOGGLE_RECOGNITION_LIGHTS</Down></Entry>

I'm still trying to get a couple more of the lights to work. For a picture of the flight deck go here: I've got this so far:GWPlotts Home Flightdeck<Entry><Key>NUM_9</Key> <Down>TOGGLE_TAXI_LIGHTS</Down></Entry><Entry><Key>NUM_3</Key> <Down>Toggle_Nav_Lights</Down></Entry><Entry><Key>NUM_6</Key> <Down>TOGGLE_Beacon_LIGHTS</Down></Entry><Entry><Key>NUM_Del</Key> <Down>TOGGLE_LOGO_LIGHTS</Down></Entry><Entry><Key>NUM_+</Key> <Down>TOGGLE_WING_LIGHTS</Down></Entry>The Toggle_Wing_Lights function doesn't appear to work. I think perhaps I've got the NUM_+ key not defined properly.I'm trying to use the Number pad Enter and Plus keys. Should I say- NUM_Plus? In the pic below, all of the keys that have a name on them work as planned. The blank over the + and enter keys are the ones I'm trying to re-map.Here is the keyboard layout Thanks

I finally got the lights to work independently of each other using my keyboard mod in the flightdeck.here's the code:In standard.xmlVista C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\Controls\ <Entry><Key>NUM_9</Key> <Down>TOGGLE_TAXI_LIGHTS</Down></Entry><Entry><Key>NUM_3</Key> <Down>Toggle_Nav_Lights</Down></Entry><Entry><Key>NUM_6</Key> <Down>TOGGLE_Beacon_LIGHTS</Down></Entry>

There is a fix for the flashing screen problem at Microsoft. Just go here and apply the fix. This worked like a champ for me. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933590Jerry

I thought the same thing. Seems like I can spend 19.99 on other stuff for FS. I just use ATC.net on my laptop, while the main pc is flying. I can change to any one that I want, Free.Jerry

I would like to know how the GoFlight module is attached to the Saitek throttle quads. I'll be getting my GoFlight LGFT module soon and am investigating different means of setting it into my flight deck. You can see it here.http://www.flyaka.com/images/GPlotts-Cockpit.jpg

This applies to all aircraft that have multiple tanks I think. I've noticed it in the default FSX 737 and a VA model 737 as well. Haven't checked this on the GAs like baron etc.

When I load a new airplane, in the selection window, the thumnails don't match the airplanes. The text does, but not the picture. However, when I filter by type, i.e. Boeing, the thumbnails match. Any ideas to get them to match in "all"

When I do a manual startup from cold and dark, the fuel flow (with crossfeed on) only comes from one of the tanks. If I do a startup with the CTRL-E the fuel flow comes from all tanks regardless of the position of the crossfeed switch. What am I missing doing the startup manuall?jerry

Bill, thanks for your reply. As for the Cup holder, you can't see it, but it is there. What long idstance pilot would take to the skies without coffee.Jerry:-)

Does anyone know of a keyboard command to turn the taxi lights (not landing lights) on and off. I'm using a cockpit shell with modified keyboards for overhead panels, and want to assign a keyboard action to turn the taxi lights on and off.ThanksMy flight deck can be seen here:http://www.flyaka.com/images/GPlotts-Cockpit.jpgThanks to DIY Flight simulatorsJerry

Try going here and downloading this MS Patch http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&DisplayLang=enI had the same problem and this fixes it. it's because of dual monitors and vista.Jerry

I had the same problem until I found the solution somewhere out there. Can't for the life of me remember where. My speakers were set up for 5.1 surround sound, and I have 2 desktop speakers and subwoofer. Changed to 2 speaker stereo, and voila, ATC voice again. Hope this helps you.Pastor JerryDell Quad core 2.663MB2TBGeforce 8800dual monitorsSaitek yoke and quads

I installed the yoke and 2nd quadrant about a week ago, and have had zero problems with it. The whiteboard frame mounts easily to the top of the yoke and makes it easy to write down freq's or airport info for the flight. I've also used it with a binder clip to attach flight plans. The yoke is very smooth, and the clock/timer is a great feature. The throttles work very smoothly and IMO look a lot better than the CH throttle quadrant. Overall - great value for the money.

>ATI ver 7.4 has problems.>I wrote to ATI (catalyst) and told them AA inop... who knows>what else.>Go back to ver 7.3 and try again.You're seeing two items on the task bar because you have two FS windows open. One for FS9 and one for the windowed part i.e. GPS Radio stack, etc.Jerry
