Thanks for that. One ?, Do both parts have to be put in one folder before unzipping Part 1 in order for both to get unzipped. Bob Palmer

But, doing it that way is what got me into trouble before. I had not plugged in the joystick yet and went ahead and tried to install the Saitek drivers. When prompted to plug in the usb lead I did and thats when the install froze and messed up Windows. I think that as I had not yet plugged the usb in, Windows, on seeing new hardware tried to install it's basic drivers as it does automatically. That's when I think the conflict occured. Does this mean that the Windows auto search and install should be disabled? Bob

I have just ordered a new computer for running FSX. it will have as first drive a 500GB EVO SSD and as second drive a Seagate 1000GB SSHD Hybrid Drive. I am told by a relative who is a computer programmer that both WIN 7 64 and FSX should be installed on the SSD and all other stuff on the second SSHD drive. I have read that FSX and Windows should be on seperate drives with WIndows on the SSD and FSX on the second SSHD drive. WHat do the forum experts think? Bob

Await with anticipation!

I have all that correct, different buttons for different actions. I am inputting the button presses through FSUIPC. I wonder if that is messing things up. I come back to the fact that everything works ok on all my other aircraft, all operated through FSUIPC. THanks for your interest!

I have button 5 to increase flaps and button 6 to decrease flaps on my saitek pro joystick, in any case on the PMDG 737 all is working perfectly. Is that what you mean?

Made sure the "VIEWS" option is turned off but still have problems. Now when I switch to outside views the camera is looking up in the sky, but no such position has been set. If I repeatedly switch sometimes it works correctly! Also a new oddity has emerged, when I use my joystick button for increase flaps as well as lowering flaps it switches to the outside wing view. No idea whats happening. Has anyone? Bob

Thanks Bursco, will try later.

I was too quick to say that the problem was solved. Today had the same problem. When I change views from inside the cockpit to outside using the EZDOC studio there is no problem, but when using button on joystick I only see the cockpit part of the aircraft as a white shape.

Many thanks jetsmell, that was it. Dont know why, but I clean forgot to use the config. It's often the simple obvious things that we overlook! Thanks again. Bob

Been using EZDOC for a while with PMDG 737NG without problems. Just recently installed Aerosoft AirbusX EX. When setting up inside cockpit it works OK but when I switch to outside views (Aircraft) all I see is just the cockpit part of the airplane. If I keep switching back and forth from inside to outside views sometimes the whole aircraft appears. Even with camera views imported from the Aerosoft website the same thing happens. Its probably something simple that I am missing, but what? Any help would be much appreciated. Bob

I have a lesser video card than you, a GTX260 and I get similar reloading of the screen periodically. None of the NVidia updates have made any difference. Anyway it just reloads and no further problems. Annoying but at least no crashes...yet. I would also be interested in possible solutions. Red

Hello Venustus Thanks for your help. I understand from that link that I need to update SDK from Microsoft. I just want to confirm that to update SDK in no way affects FSX itself. Bob

Been trying to upload the snipping tool JPEG of the error window, but that doesn't seem to work. So here are the two lines of error that show when I try to compile airport. All I have done is changed the ILS frequencies to 110.95. and just want to input this into EINN in FSX NTERNAL COMPILER ERROR: #C2031: Failed element parse <BoundaryFence> INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR: #C2032: XML Parse Error! Element tree follows: Bob

Just tried again and here is the error window Cant seem to post the snip of the edit. Bob

Hello I realise my post was light on detail. I was hoping for a simple step by step on the subject. I am probably not following the correct procedure as It's the first time I have used the programme. I will try again and post the error window that appears at the time of compiling. By -the-way I am simply loading the default airport not one already modified. Bob

Excuse me if this topic has already been discussed before. I have been trying to change the ILS frequencies at EINN from the FSX default of 109.5 to the correct 110.95. using ADE9x without sucess. I am hoping that there is a simple procedure for doing this. I get as far as compiling the airport and at this point there are errors. Or maybe there is a better way to acheive the same thing. Bob

I have SP1c! Does that mean that I do not need any of the other updates listed ie. model updates or service updates. Bob

Thanks for your help, but I am still only able to bungle my way through the procedure for changing to an alternative flight plan. What I really need is an idiot proof step by step guide. Do you enter the sec plan whilst still on the ground or later when in the air and for whatever reason you are told to divert. I am setting the "direct to" on the FMS to the next waypoint on the sec flt plan and then trying to instigate the sec pln ( already programmed in). I cannot get the magenta course line to then connect to the said waypoint and so continue on the new route. I know I am missing something but I seem to have tried everything. Funny thing is I get there in the end but having tried so many button pushes on the FMS I cannot be sure what I have actually done. Just a little more help needed, and I would thank anyone who takes the time to help!

Trying to advance my skill in flying the MD11. Trying to change from a primary route to an alternative midway during flight. For example I have programmed into the FMS a Flight plan CYUL to CYYT and an alternative route CYUL to CYQX. So both routes are in the FMS database. I have tried to follow the FMS instructions manual but although I get there in the end things don't seem to happen as is stated in the instructions. I was hoping someone would give me a blow by blow instruction of how to change to the alternative plan midflight. Thanks in advance!

I was wondering if anyone can explain why FSX reloads.It doesn't seem to matter which aircraft I am flying with but randomly FSX screen reloads and then continues as normal. It can happen several times during a one or two hour flight, or it may not happen at all. I cannot be sure but it may be that this has started only since I am using a registered version of FSUIPC. It doesn't cause a crash just the screen reloading. I have some freeware scenery installed but this happens when I am flying outside of these areas.Running in Full Screen modeVista H.P. SP2 .AMD Athlon 64x2 5600+ running about 3.1 MHzFSX SP2 4GB RamNVidia GeForce GTX260

You are probably correct Manfred as the STAR arrival to runway 030 at LPPT from the north is going parallel with the runway before the turn to the north to intercept the glideslope. Anyway it went OK this afternoon!Bob

My flight today EGLL to LPPT went without hitch. I really don't know what I was doing wrong on the first two occasions!Bob

I will try the flight again later, (if time permits) I do remember seeing the "ILS untuneable" notice in the scratchpad, but I also thought I saw the frequency in the nav radio page. That is probably not possible, so many things are happening at the approach its sometimes difficult to remember accurately what was the case. I will take particular note later and report back. I appreciate all the interest!Bob

Hello eNveeI am using the default Airac version, came with the aircraft. Will update it soon. Running FSX SP2 with default scenery too. Funny thing is I did what you suggest and checked the nav radio page and it was showing the correct frequency for the ILS (109.1) Also the FSX map glidepaths show 109.10 too.I'm a bit baffled!Bob
