I'll use the second as a new target. I do have some memory lapses. I might forget to land one day.

Hi, I rarely post as I feel I've little to contribute. This time I might encourage you Guys to persist simming into your future. I began with FS4, and fly P3DV5.3 every day in VR. I've just landed at GCFV from EGNT via LFBD. I used to fly a study level 737 but nowadays a Falcon 50 for an outfit called The Magpies. Oh! I forgot to say I'm 92. Cheers, Jim H.

I've always enjoyed the technical aspect of flightsimming, and still do in P3Dv5.3. A fellow simmer persuaded me to try driving a truck and I enjoy the relaxing experience of cruising around Europe or the States in ETS2 or ATS. No complexity, no planning, just admiring the scenery go by. Maybe the fact that these days I'm probably the most ancient person lurking around these forums has some relevence. 🙂

I use Ideal Flight for planning. My last plan ended with an impossible final approach. I closed autopilot, made an emergency landing, and closed P3D. Now my RXP 750 is stuck on that plan. When I load the same file as ever before, the old abandoned flight appears. Could someone please help?

Another PF3 user here. I did use Radar Contact a long time ago. RC was very good indeed, but I'm happy that I made the change. PF3 is very configurable, and takes care of you from Gate to Gate.

Hi, I use a Reverb G2 and have a smooth experience everywhere, but use modest settings. I fly a jet or turboprop at altitude so don't need super detailed scenery. What i do see on approach however, I find very satisfactory. My G2 is much less demanding than your Varjo. My specs are below. Jim

I fly in VR with a headsetl. I believe it only works on monitors ☹️

I've used PF3 for a very long time. It sets me up for leaving the gate, guides me to the runway, handles the flight from departure to a standard approach, then guides me to the gate. It suits this old bloke with its simplicity in operation, and as a bonus, Dave, the developer is always ready to help with any details or problems. '@Flyforever is correct. Dave is around as old as I am 😉. I did some beta testing for him with the original version. Cheers,Jim

Thanks very much, Guys. I'd noticed the simicons but didn't investigate them.............Silly me! I'll have a look at Eaglesoft. I remember vaguely now I may have bought a CJ1 from them years ago. The FSND Ultra Citation X is a better looking product than some payware aircraft I've purchased. Jim

Hi, Anyone use the FSND Citation X? I installed this aircraft as I use the FSND MD83. I only fly VC and can't find any way to adjust course or heading in the Citation VC, although it has a 2D panel with adjustments there. If anyone who has flown the Citation can help I'd be grateful. I've heard numerous problems with payware Citations. If anyone can recommend one I'd appreciate that too. Cheers, Jim

Thanks, Gerald. I'll report back in a while. My priority right now is tracking down which addon shut me out of P3D while in the Rift. It shouldn't take too long, and then my new copilot and I can get to know one another properly. Cheers, Jim

Hi Gerald, Thanks for your help. I double-checked that the folders were in fact no longer shared. On running MCE, I still get the, "As this is the first start make sure flight sim is NOT running. We kindly invite you to proceed through the application wizard." Then follows, "the English US speech engine required for MCE to run isn't installed yet. As before, the language section has English (United States) over English (United Kingdom). Double-clicking English (US) shows, "Windows display language" - Enabled. Closing Control Panel ends the sequence. When I check AppData\Roaming, there is a new, empty MCE Folder. If the wizard is telling the truth how can I get this language installed from where I am now? Edit: Good News at last! I had a look on line, and found a pointer to Win10 - Settings - Region& Language, where I downloaded the missing language. After that setup went smoothly, and I now have my trusty copilot back with me while flying in my new Rift. Jim

I did have my Users folder shared, though it was shared long before I first installed MCE. I no longer use the network, so I've clicked the padlock icon to Stop Sharing. I hope this actually does end sharing. I restarted and found no difference. On the first re-install, on entering the language area I didn't need to add an area. English (United States) was already present, above English (United Kingdom). I am certain I downloaded, activated, whatever? I do notice I now have a US keyboard which is a nuisance. Still hoping, Jim

Hi, I've been using MCE for some time with no problems with the original installation. I had to uninstall, clear all traces, and reinstall P3Dv3. I uninstalled MCE along with all other addons prior to uninstalling P3D. I have installed MCE once again but on first start the Wizard pointed to the language installation panel, where I downloaded the English (US) language pack. I now get the "As this is the first start" message every time. Could someone suggest where I've gone wrong? Thanks, Jim

Thanks, Hans, That solved the problem nicely. I have not yet installed any 3rd party aircraft, only FSUIPC to get my controllers set up. Cheers, Jim
