Hi All, I just wanted to let you know that following a period of enforced neglect, my MSFS Gateway website has been updated. It offers categorised links to hundreds of FSX, P3D and MSFS related websites. Let me know if any of your favourites are missing. I hope you find the MSFS Gateway useful. Tony www.msfsgateway.com

Hello everyone, my MSFS Gateway website that lists hundreds of MSFS and P3D-related links sorted into categories, (e.g. aircraft, flight planning, scenery and many others) has been serving the flight sim community for 20 years and is still regularly updated. I hope you find it useful. Feedback and suggested additions are always welcome. Tony https://www.msfsgateway.com/

There are links to some useful resources on the Tutorials page of the MSFS Gateway... www.msfsgateway.com/tutorials.html

Hello Just popped in to say that my MSFS Gateway that has been serving the Microsoft flightsim community for almost 20 years has just been overhauled and updated to a more mobile-friendly version. I hope you find it a useful resource, and if any of your favourite sites are not listed please let me know. Regards Tony www.msfsgateway.com

Dylan M - my hero! Thank you so much for finding and announcing this fix. I've been trying to install Windows 10 for three days and have tried so many other suggestions - all without success. This fix worked at first attempt. Amazing how a tiny, well buried, 0Kb, Orbx file can completely halt the mighty Windows 10 upgrade - I can still hardly belive it. Tony www.msfsgateway.com PS I've added a notice and link to this thread from there...

Yes, suggested additions welcomed. Best to email any to: tony.smith[AT]msfsgateway.com Tony www.msfsgateway.com

Hello Friends, Check out my MSFS Gateway for hundreds of categorized links to FSX, FS9 and P3D add-ons, downloads, portals, tutorials, forums and more. It's an FSX candy store! and is regularly updated. Tony www.msfsgateway.com

Hi All, Just popped in to say that my MSFS Gateway site has been updated to include a section on Apps for tablets and phones. Feel free to recommend additional links direct to me at: tony.smith@msfsgateway.com Tony www.msfsgateway.com < Hundreds of categorized MSFS links.

I agree with those praising FlusiFix and also extend my thanks to Wolfgang. I've been using it for years and recommend it. Its neat graphical interface makes it the easiest, and probably the safest, way to make a large number of tweaks and corrections. Each tweak is described, and it is easy to reverse each tweak too. I'm pleased it continues to work under Windows 8. Tony www.msfsgateway.com

I've only just started to try SweetFX, so no expert, but this may help. Happy to be corrected. 1. Under Windows 8 I can only get it to work with FSX in DX10 Preview mode so far. 2. Make sure that in FSX the "Scroll Lock" key is not assigned to something else under Controls. If it is change or delete the assignment. 3. "Scroll Lock" will then switch SweetFX effects on and off. It starts "on" as the default. 4. To apply a SweetFX change click on the PC's "Pause/Break" key. (Not "P" for FSX pause). There is a graphical interface available for SweetFX that makes making changes much easier. Find it here: http://sweetfx.thelazy.net/ I downloaded the standalone version (scroll down the page a bit) and just unzipped its contents into the designated SweetFX Configurator folder and sub-folders. These can be placed anywher on your PC. You then start the configurator, set it up to find your main FSX folder and it will import the necessary SweetFX files into the FSX folder (you can add other games too). I make and test SweetFX changes with FSX in Window mode using the configurator. If you have more than one monitor I think you have to have both the FSX window and the configurator windows on the same monitor. Tony www.msfsgateway.com

Hi, A number of you requested that the 200+ flight-sim add-on links on my MSFS Gateway be organised alphabeticaly. Now they are! Tony www.msfsgateway.com

The "EZ Walk" product page is here: http://www.arccpro.narod.ru/index_page20.htm, unfortunately the download isn't working now... perhaps a search may find you a copy somewhere.TonyMSFSGateway

A software add-on called SimTouch adds its own guages (sets for both commercial and light aircraft) to a touch screen. I've always thought it looked a very interesting add-on. Check out the videos.SimTouch web site http://www.simtouch.eu/TonyMSFS Gatewayhttp://www.btinternet.com/~tony.smiths/

Hello all, The bloke who is taking over my MSFS Gateway web site has been unavoidably delayedin getting it all together.... so I've put it back up for a while... here... http://www.btinterne...iths/index.html ... because I need those 350+ flight sim links as much as everyone else! It won’t be updated, so you may find the odd broken link or two. It will return to it's home domain in due course. Tony

Hi all,Sorry that I've not be able to update my MSFS Gateway for a while.I've now updated all the links (over 500) and added some new ones.ReegardsTonywww.msfsgateway.com

Hello,In April I plan to give my MSFS Gateway links site a spring clean - repairing any broken links, removing old sites and adding new ones.Do you want any changes made to layout, categories, the listings? Anything I could do better?Please let me know - all suggestions welcome... but not too much extra work for me please! e-mail: tony@msfsgateway.comTonywww.msfsgateway.com

There is also a commercial (payware) product called FSDiscover that as well as aiports shows place names and names of features like mountains and lakes, parks, landmarks and bridges in FSX and FS9.Tonywww.msfsgateway.com

The temporary fix (see quote from their forum below) is to use the database creation file from the previous (4.0.4) release candidate."Yes, fortunately the SFP404 version is still on AVSIM. It is necessary to grab the sfpdbwiz.exe file from your SFP404 installation, and to put it into and on top of the file of the same name in your SFP405 install folder, in order to get SPF5 to work. I'm really grateful for the person who figured this out!"The SFP web site and forum is at:www.cpinf.com/Tonywww.msfsgateway.com

I use Raxco PerfectDisc Professional.It appears to keep my drives in tip-top condition with very little attention from me.Tonywww.msfsgateway.com

If you have a look at the "Environment and AI" page on the MSFS Gateway you'll find links to the web site of the various commercial and freeware AI traffic options.I use My Traffic XTonywww.msfsgateway.com
