Works fine in SE

New version (1.4) is out, available here. Changelog is here.

No, not at the moment. What did you have in mind?

Ok, glad that fixed it, I'll look into the localization issue.

You are unzipping everything before trying to run the executable, right? Distance probably isn't possible, it would be a ton of work to go through and add coordinates to all the airports to make the distance calculations with. Next version will let the user to enter any duration, without using the radio buttons. I'm cautious about adding information to the table, because it's already a bit cluttered and difficult to use with a ton of flights displayed. I'll look into it, but if I add the manual duration entry like above you'll be able to find the shortest flights that way.

Primarily various FS9 AI traffic files, actually, which are in turn often based on OAG or other such data. They've had a heavy round of clean-up and filtering and error checking as well to make sure historically correct airports are used and all the destinations are valid, etc. Also, as stated in the first post, I'm in the final stages of putting together some code that will take in a bunch of flights and aircraft types and registrations and auto-assign them, so I can use manually-compiled data from timetables, especially for the older/historical schedules.

For anyone that's having trouble, an alternate download link is here.

Because I don't want to have my email address and full name on a publicly available download.

I don't want to include my email address and full name in a publicly available download, so no. But I can upload it to a different file hosting site if that would help people get it. The site it's at now should work, at least it was trouble-free for me when I was signing up, but if enough people have issues I'll gladly make it somewhere else that doesn't require registration.

That's a good idea, I'll add it in the next version

You mean based on the current system time?

Not my site. Just a convenient upload place. No need to be rude.

Sorry about making a new post if that's a problem- I wasn't able to modify the first post of the old release thread to update it with the new info. This is a utility that can assign give you information about real-world flights to do with your aircraft. There are ~2.3 million flights of the database, and a single click can give you a realistic route, airline, flight number, departure and arrival times, aircraft registration, and more for almost any airliner you can think of. There are historical schedules in the database as well, so now you can get realistic flights and routes to do with your classic aircraft that aren't used as much in the real world any more. A huge range of real-world flights from multiple areas of aviation are included. 707 flights for Pan-Am in the 60's, flying Tristars in and out of Kai Tak in the 80's for Cathay Pacific, all the way up to modern A320/737/777 flights. Download link is here. Changelog: This release is DB-focused, with some new airlines and the usual error and bug fixes in the data. I'm also in the final stages of writing a script that will allow me to add data from more sources, so more complete, accurate, and varied historical schedules are in the pipeline. I'm also looking into allowing users to sort the table by the different column headers, but that's WIP until I figure out a fast, elegant way to take care of it.

I'm trying to use the repaint "2010-03-02_erjv2_135_airfrance_f-gohe.zip" from the file library. It's for the feelthere ERJv2, and was originally done for FS9. Trying to use it in fsx, I get a lighting issue, as seen in the attached picture. What do I need to change/convert to get the textures to work properly in FSX? thanks

In the EZCA studio, or whatever it's called, open up the aircraft you have configured, then hit save to dump everything into an .ecs file. Then, open the new aircraft you want to import things to, open up the studio again, and import, browsing to the saved file.

I currently have a i5-3570K that I've overclocked to ~4.3 ghz, alongside a GTX 670 that I've slightly bumped the speeds up on as well. I've had this setup for a few years now, and overall I'd say I'm happy with it, FSX is pretty smooth under most situations. However, there are certain scenarios/locations and aircraft that can cause some frame rate issues, and I'd like to know if certain upgrades would be worth it to help. There are two main things that occasionally cause frame rate issues for me (as in below 20, it's usually "smooth enough" above that): 1. Lots of clouds. I do love me some ASN overcast. Occasionally, really thick overcast layers or lots of cloud layers will cause a noticable loss of FPS. 2. Certain complex aircraft together with scenery-dense areas. For example, Ifly 737 and FSLabs Concorde at UK2000 EGLL. I would imagine that #1 would be mostly GPU related, while #2 is primarily CPU-limited, correct? Does anyone see any clear opportunities for improvement with a CPU and/or GPU upgrade? If, so, could I have recommendations? The ideal would be to have things like FTX Global and FTX Vector installed, with all FSX settings maxed out, and not have to worry about frames dropping below acceptable levels or the terrain going all blury because the CPU or GPU can't keep up. As I said, this is the case most of the time, but certain areas and certain situations can bring my rig back to earth and kill the immersion. thanks

Same, I can't find the download link either. Is it still available?

That's the one, thank you

I got FSX set up again about a month ago. Earlier, I had this(http://lkpr.aspone.cz/IndexE.html) very nice freeware scenery for LKPR. Now, I'm trying to redownload it, but the main download link takes me to VACC-CZ where I need a login to access files. The two smaller updates work as direct downloads still. There is no developer name or anything like that on the web page- does anyone know where I could download this, or who I should contact? thanks

Thanks for the help. It turns out it was nothing more than the wrong elevation in the AFCAD itself.

I have a problem where I get terrain spikes/walls around the edges of many airports when coming into land. If I load up FS and go directly to the airport, everything is fine; the problem only occurs when I fly in from somewhere else to land. From a distance, it looks normal, but as I get closer and closer the little hills down the runway length begin to pop up, and as I get even closer they morph into straight walls. As you can see in these images, the runways have hills going down the sides. It's only the runways, not the rest of the scenery. As I get even closer, the hills morph into straight walls. The above two pictures, you see the straight walls starting to form in the foreground, with the "hills" in the background. As you can see, the problem is occuring over at the other runway as well, 25R, and not on any of the taxiways or anywhere else. It's possible to fly down and land. Sometimes the terrain is collideable, sometimes not. I'm completely stumped. Relevant add-ons are FS Global 2010, FTX GLobal, FTX Vector. This has occured at multiple airports (EBBR, LHBP, LQSA,) but not all of them (EGLC was fine when I arrived from Dublin). All of these airports have had no fancy addon scenery, just some ADE-based modifications like "fsx_ebbr_rs.zip" from the AVSIM file library. I'm going to try re-installing the above scenery addons, but I wanted to check here first in case anyone has seen this problem before or knows what's happening. I really don't want to do a full re-install of FSX because of the amount of tweaking, modifications, and setup that would require. thanks

I have a GTX 670, and am seeing a series of confusing graphics card/driver crashes. I have overclocked it some, and I have it at the point where I can stably run a benchmark stress test. I'm using the 335.23 drivers. The black screen crash, with the "Nvidia drivers have stopped responding" message, only appears on some games, and not on others. In FSX, the issue happens irregularly, but when it does happen I need to completely restart FSX as it can't recover. On another game, it happens every time within 5 minutes of starting it, but then when this first crash has been "gotten out of the way," and I restart the game, it then runs flawlessly. After a computer shut-down, this repeats, with the graphics crash after a few minutes of play, followed by no problems once I restart the game. Any ideas as to what might be causing this weird pattern of crashes? Why would the display drivers fail the first time I run a game, and then work flawlessly after the first crash? I don't know if the FSX-crashes are cured by restarting FSX, as any FSX sessions tend to last quite a bit longer than other games, plus the irregularity of the FSX crashes. I am going to try to update to the newest drivers, as well as clear out any dust. Any other suggestions? Is there some sort of test that I can run to make sure there's nothing wrong with the card? It seems to handle stress tests fine. thanks

Is there any free alternative to the scenery fixer to correct FTX global lights in DX10? I've tried looking through the FTX forums and elsewhere and haven't found anything.

Could you be more specific about what makes it better? From what I've gathered, it has more 3d detail (not as important) and some differences in flight dynamics. I thought the ifly's flight dynamics in FS9 were right in the money, but of course FSX is different. Anything else?

Ok it seems I've decided to go with the Ifly version. I've never been disappointed with any PMDG product I've bought, but it's simply not worth the extra $55. Thanks to everyone for keeping it civil.
