Thank you for the help

Hi, I had that problem a long time ago, when I activate or use another apps like fshud , I lose the sound of the msfs 2020 windows. I have to click on the simulator window with my mouse to get the sound back. I do not recall how I solve it. Pierre

Thanks Dad, I completely forgot about this utility and thanks for the tip about virtual buttons. Now everything works. Pierre

Hi, I am trying to configure my 2 Thrustmaster TCA Airbus Quadrant throttles in MSFS 2024 and I cannot find what Axis are assigned to throttle 3 & 4. I have throttle 1 & 2 using L axis X for 1 and L axis Y for 2. In the control setting when I move the throttle 3 or 4 they are recognized as button and not axis. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I would like to know how can I get the co-pilot to report my position when in Oceanic control. The co-pilot does the first SelCal communication, but he doesn't report position after cross each oceanic waypoint. Also my comprehension is that I have to leave PF3 co-pilot mode at setting 0 , and when I tell my co-pilot "you have the radio" MCE will internally set PF3 to co-pilot mode 2. I sometime experience delayed handback to domestic control after oceanic sector , PF3 support tells me to set Co-Pilot mode to 2. Would MCE work if I set Co-pilot to 2? Pierre Nantel

Thank you Rob, I will definitely look in to this addon Pierre

Thank you Mike It seems to me that it will be harder and harder to fly with a muti-monitor setup. Having a overhead monitor to run the overhead panel seems to made sense to me, and it those replicate the reality of a cockpit layout. Pierre Nantel

Hello, Just finish my first full flight with the 777, what a wonderful plane, thanks you PMDG. I do have one question, I usually fly in the full screen mode (with VC cockpit view1) and I open the Overhead Lower Panel (view 2) in a second screen located on top of my main one, on the second view none of the Knob/Switch works, if I move the mouse over them nothing happens. But if I fly in windows mode then everything works fine. I also notice that the instrument menu doesn't offer a view of the overhead panel, nor their is a hot spot for it. I have try the MD-11, 747 and the 737ngx from PMDG and they all work find in full screen, so it is not FSX:SE that seems to be the problem. Anyone experience this issue before? Pierre Nantel

Hi Yair I honestly didn't try that setup because I use 3 monitors for the cockpit VC view and one for the overhead display on the GTX690 and I also have 2 monitors on a GTX460 for the 2D panel. But from what I say with the Nvidia setup it only recognizes 3 display connector to configure the surround and one called auxiliary port for the fourth display connector. Hope this help

Hi Everyone, Last night I found out that I was not using the must recent driver for my video card, so I loaded the newest one and I was able to configure my PC with 1 over 3 plus a fourth screen. So my problem is solved. Thanks

Hi, I am tying to configure 1 over 3 hd lcd minitor (3X Asus VE248Q) and one Accessory display using Asus VE278H. First, does it matter which connector i use for the 1 over 3, my card has 3 DVI and one mini display port. So should I connect the 3 VE248Q in the 3 DVI and the fourth screen in the mini display port? would that work? all my connection to the screen are HDMI. My second question would be: if I use the mini display port in my 1 over 3 setup (2 screens on DVI and one on mini DP) do I need a "DisplayPort to Dual-link DVI" because now I use a mini display port to HDMI converter. Finaly anyone know about a good guide to help me setting the Nvidia control panel? I am using win7 64 bits Any help would be appreciated Pierre

Thank you for this info Ben Cap, this is good new's Pierre

Hi, I currently have an ASUS P8P67 deluxe and I would like to upgrade my Graphic card from a Nvidia N480gtx 2MB with a N680 or N670 2 MB. My MOBO has 2 PCI express 2.0, do I need to go with a MOBO equiped with PCI express 3.0. Would this give me a significant increase in performance, or I should keep my current MOBO. Thanks for any advice Pierre

Thanks Word Not Allowed, It took me more then one year to fine tune my FSX setup. I also have a lots of add-ons and scenery, so I will go with a dual boot so I can isolate the two configuration. Again thanks for the great info, I will start installing now. Pierre

Thanks One last thing, do you recommend to install P3D using a dual boot setup, isolating P3D from FSX? I am planning to use the FSX to Prepar3d migration tool to install some add-on that I have. Pierre

Hi Word Not Allowed, Thanks you for the quick answer, my Cirrus II is USB connected and my Pedals are connected to the Cirrus II, and not dirrectly to the PC. So this should work? Do you know if P3D support muti monotor like FSX? Pierre

Hi, I am a long time simmer (25 years) and I alway's used MS Flight simulator. I invested a lot of money during the last 5 year and before I start migrating to P3D, I would like to know if my Cirrus ii with rudder pedals will work? Do I just need to installed the PFCFSX.dll in the module directory, and everything will work? or it is more complicated then this. From what I was able to read on the forum, everything else I own will work. I am also assuming that P3D, like FSX, support multi screen configuration? I currently run a 6 screens setup (where 3 of them are connected to a Triplehead2go) . Would appreciate any comment. Pierre

Thank you for the advice, I will do this tonight. I am so glad that people like you are able to spend time to help people, keep it up. Pierre

Hi, I just finish modifying a local airport near my home place (CYND Gatineau, Canada) and I saved the modified BLG in my addon scenery file structure. In doing this I realized that in the “My Traffic” folder, which was created by My Traffic 2010, I also had a BLG file for the same airport. So I ran FX airport scanner just to find out that I had a lot of replication of BGL files between My Traffic and my addon library. The scanner tool allows me to remove one of the duplicate file, so my question is: Should I remove all of the duplicate BGL files in the My Traffic or it doesn’t matter? Thanks for the help Pierre

Not yet but I will do that this weekend.Thanks Frank

Hi everyone,I am using a PFC Cirrus II console for about 3 years now and suddenly tonight the aileron and elevator doesn’t seems to communicate with FSX. I am able to run the PFC start up test with success and I am also able to run, from the add-on menu in FSX the setting utility. From there I can calibrate and adjust both the elevator and the aileron, they both work perfectly. But when I go back to FSX and move the yoke, it is like FSX doesn’t know that they are there. But the rest of the button and the rudder work’s perfectly. It is like if both the aileron and elevator are disabled.I have tried deleting the PFCFSX config file and I restarted FSX with no success. I also replaced the PFCFSX. DLL file without any luck. The console seems to work find, it looks like FSX doesn’t see those to axis anymore.Any tips would be appreciatedThanks

OK i got it now this was completely new to me, so thanks I will look at the RA info in the runway chartPierre

Hi,Will I am learning how to fly the 737 using the excellent tutorial by Ryan Maziarz and not being a pilot, I was wondering where would I found the radio altitude setting for a particular airport? In the tutorial we have to set the radio altitude to 100 feet, where is that 100 feet comming from:“ Set the landing minimums by clicking the outer EFIS control panel MINS knob to its RADIO setting and then turning the smaller inner knob down to 100 feet radio altitude – you’ll see the number in the lower right corner of the PFD. We’re a category D aircraft on this approach (approach airspeed above 141 knots) and the published minimum is 100 feet for a Category II ILS.”Would I find this info from the airport chart?Any help would be appreciatedPierre

That will explain why I can't find it,Thank You Kenny

Hi,I cannot locate the hot spot in the 2D main panel, to open the throttle panel. How does someone access this panel so I can set the trim? I have check all the books I have and also look at all the instrument view within the simaulator and I cannot see where it is.Pierre
