Hello, I'm getting ready to add traffic to FSX and I was wondering if you guys could give me some addon recommedations. When I had FS9 installed, I used WoAI and I've used it with FSX before I had to do a Windows. I like WoAI but there are a few things that bug me. For example, there isn't a Fedex AI package and a lot of the packages are out of date. This is why I'm thinking about possibly trying some other traffic addons. I almost always fly airliners and I usually run the traffic at 40-45% and I need something that's not too heavy on the fps. Real-world schedules are nice but they're not required. GA and Military traffic are also optional. Many thanks in advance! Nick

Ok I just tested FSX again and I think the signs are fine. This is really stupid on my part because signs have black edges and backsides. So looking at them from behind they look black (and wrong). What really confused me was the fact that some signs at some airports have grey non-marking sides instead of black. So I saw a problem that really wasn't a problem in the first place. I apologize for leading you astray and I'd like to thank you again for your patience and all the great suggestions which I'll remember for future troubleshooting.Regards,Nick

I tried CTRL+SHIFT+R and it found 2 duplicate textures but the blank signs are still showing (now black). I'm supposed to copy the scenery.cfg in the main FSX folder right? Thanks again for your help!Edit: I'm running DX9 with AF on and AA off.Edit 2: I added ShowMissingTextureAlert=0 to FSX.cfg but FSX didn't give me any error messages and the blank signs are still there.Edit 3: Oh I misread the direction to the real scenery.cfg.

Sorry about that. I forgot to restart FSX after I enabled UTX USA. The scenery.cfg file is updated to the current one on my previous post. BTW, the blank signs are now grey istead of black.

Thanks again for the great suggestions! I followed your instructions and disabled UTX USA but I still see those black signs. Also, I haven't installed any addon airports or runway texture upgrades. Other than UTX and GEX, the only other texture-related thing I'm running is FEX, which doesn't change airports AFAIK.This is a really strange problem.Edit: here's my working scenery.cfg (I forgot to

These are some good suggestions. I tested some airports in and out of the ranges of UTX and GEX and found that the problem only occurs when UTX and/or GEX are present. Some taxiways signs are grey with no markings on them. I also checked and the aptsign.bmp file is indeed in my Textures folder. Can I use one of your fix suggestions to repair the signs?Thanks again!

Hello,I'm seeing some extra taxiway signs that are black and blank along with regular taxiway signs. You can see them in the attached pic. Does anyone have the same problem? What did you do to get rid of these black signs?I'm running Win7 64bit, FSX SP2, All UTX packages, GEX NA and Europe, and FEX.

I would choose UK2000 w/o any reservations. It looks great, offers high fps, and UK2000 is a great company to deal with.

For something that's free and super easy to install, I have no complaints about WOAI. I'm actually still using Northwest and the old United packages (before the Continental merge) because I like their liveries and they remind me of my traveling days when I was younger.

Thanks for your reply! I actually try fly in different parts of the world. Let me explain: I was born in Asia, lived in South America, and I'm now living in the US.

After playing FSX exclusively for almost a year, I've decided to reinstall FS9. To my surprise, FS9 actually is still quite ok visually with high AS. After reinstalling the addons I have and a LOT of WOAI planes, I'm running 100% traffic w/o any visual or framerate problems. I really miss traffic in FSX, especially at major hubs. A flight simulator is so much better when you can see other planes in the sky and in airports. To improve the simualtor experience, I plan to purchase GE Pro, all UT packs, FSGenesis, weather addon, and 3rd party ATC. My questions are as follows:Other than GE PRo, UT, FSGenesis, and airports, are there any other scenery addons you all recommend? Also, which Active Sky version do you all recommend for FS9? And finally, which ATC addon should I buy?Thanks!

Hello,I tried this tool and it improved the fps but I have a problem: the throttles are stuck at 100% for some planes. I've used the tweaked FSX.cfg and the untweaked FSX.cfg and I get stuck throttles on both. Has anyone experienced this problem?Thanks!Update: FSLab Concorde and PMDG JS41 both have the throttles stuck at 100%. This is definitely software because I can move my CH Throttle Quadrant and the throttles in FSX will move, but they will reset to 100%. I'm not sure what's going on because because I used this tool I didn't have this problem. I don't want to reinstall FSX but if this problem can't be fixed I'll have no choice.Update 2: After reinstalling FSLab Concorde, the throttles are still stuck at 100%. This means a FSX reinstall for me. This is unfortunate because I got a lot of stuff installed which took a lot of time. Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated!!

Hello,I'm thinking about getting all the GE and UT packages for FS9 but I'm confused about the installation process. What would be the proper installation order? Do I have to buy both the GE Pro and GE 2006?Also, would everything run fine under Windows 7 64 bit?Thanks in advance!

1) I was using a CH Eclipse yoke but it's too big for my desk and it interfered with my daily usage of the computer. So I started looking for a joystick. I settled on the Thrustmaster T.16000m and I'm really happy with it. It has hall sensors for its X & Y axis and it's very precise. I don't have rudder pedals so I'm using the twist stick function on the 16000m. For throttles I'm using the CH Throttle Quadrant for both civil and military planes. Hope this helps.Nick

Thanks for the explanation. I'm not using 2D panel that much now so I can tolerate this problem. Maybe for my next upgrade I'll go back to NVIDIA.

Hello,Please take a look at the pic below. If you look carefully at the parts that have been circled, you'll see that the image itself is broken, as if there were a diagonal line from the top left to the bottom right. In other words, half of the panel is not aligned 100% with the other half. This problem only occurs on 2D panels, with no set location. However, this problem doesn't manifest itself on virtual cockpits.Has anyone seen this problem before? If yes, what did you do to solve it?Thanks in advance!Nick

Thanks for all the replies! Are there any big name addons that don't work with Windows 7 64bit? How about airports from the AVSIM library?Regards,Nicolas

Hello,I recently built a new PC that can run FSX relatively well. The FPS does drop quite lot in bigger airports but overall I'm happy with it. But I've been thinking about installing FS9 because I wanna run 100% traffic and now that REX is out for FS9, there's more incentive to do it. My questions are as follows:1) What's the proper procedure to install FS9 when FSX is already on the computer so they don't mess with each other? How about installing FS9 versions of addons from companies like PMDG if you have them running in FSX? 2) Other than REX, what are some of the must-have FS9 addons that improve its default scenery? Thanks in advance!Cheers,Nicolas

I'm a college professor so I don't get a lot of time to sim except during weekends. Plus I have other games to play. Once I get back into the FSX mood I'll fly a lot more.Best,NicolasH

Thanks you all for the replies. I'll verify REX settings tonight and will report back.Best,Nicolas

Thanks for the reply Sherm! What I usually do is set up REX and it would load the textures it needs; then I'd minimize it and start FSX. I've never seen REX pop and asked to be activated but the REX WASy menu did show up.On all my attempts to get REX working, I've never seen the quality of textures in your 2 pictures. So either REX is not working on my system or I'm doing something wrong every time.Thanks again!!Nicolas

Thanks for the reply Sherm!Here are 2 pics:

Thanks for the reply guys! I tried the Theme Creation tab and the textures did install (it took a while) but I was still getting FSX textures.How should I set up FSX for REX to work? Maybe this is the problem I'm having.Regards,Nicolas

Hello,I bought REX for the FSX a few days ago but I'm having a heck of a time getting some of the textures to show up. I was able to get the weather to load but no other textures would show up. I followed the manual and tried many times to no avail. I'm pretty sure the problem is at my end but I don't know what to do next. Can any of you give me some hints as to the general workflow to get REX working? Thanks in advance!!Nicolas

Hello all!I recently built a new system and installed FSX and some addons (PMDG 747, MD-11, LevelD 767). Despite some low fps, everything worked fine. Then a few days ago I installed FS9 and some addons. I just tested the PMDG 747 in FSX and it loaded with no ND and PFD. I was able to turn them off after aligning the IRS, but this has never happened before since I always load the plane ready for takeoff. On another instance, the PMDG 747 was placed on the runway but the runway wasn't there. Has anybody experienced the above before?Thanks in advance and Merry Xmas!
