I’m really close to pulling the trigger (heh) on this. The factual information and stories behind the yellow life jackets etc just whets my appetite. The only things putting me off are that I think I’d struggle to fly it properly, and I can’t work out if it’s just me but the engine sounds are a bit “janky” IE there’s no seamless transition between low and high revs. Or is this how the real thing was?

Hi Folks, I have past experience with FSX etc, but would like to "start afresh" sometime soon with P3D. I've erased my old FSX installation and haven't flown for a year or two now. I'm trying to get a "shopping list" together so I can price it up and save the money up to buy everything in one fell swoop, including joy sticks. My PC spec is: 2TB HDD Intel i7-4790k@4.00GHz 16GB RAM GTX 980 Graphics Card I would be looking at operations out of a sole UK base for example Manchester, to "holiday" destinations in Europe, and perhaps one or two destinations in America, trying to match real life operations, so i'll need a plane such as a 787/A319/A320 to go with it. I won't be doing any VFR stuff. Ideally if I am spending so much money i'd like the best of the best payware if possible. If you kind folks could help me get a shopping list together that would be really appreciated. Thanks

After installing an updated eSellerate installer, FSX now crashes after the splash screen.

Hi Everyone I haven't played FSX in a couple of months, and today I decided to play. I'v just installed a couple of repaints by Alex Farmer from avsim, and when I select the desired plane in FSX, it brings up a box asking for an activation code? If I enter my license or order number or anything else it just comes up with an error code (ERROR:FlxActcommonRepairLocalTrustedStorage - (50044,71013,1) It should be noted that my PC (Windows 7) now brings up a box asking permission to run FSX by Dovetail Games, so I think my base game has been updated via Steam. (While booting up it says that the eSellerate engine isn't found) Please I could I have some assistance? Luke

Great, thank you everyone for the replies, the WOAI fix has sorted it. I certainly will stay away from ###ai. It seems very unfair to people who have given their time for free for then someone else to claim it as they're own. Thank you everyone.

Hi folks To cut a long story short airlines such as Ryanair and Jet2 in the UK are the default dalaedus (sp) paint. How can I change these to the proper liveries? Is it an easy process? Also how would I update schedules? Many thanks!

Hiya folks After inputting everything into the FMC, taxiing and then taking off, I cannot seem to get the VNAV button to engage. All the altitudes and speeds are present on the LEGS page of the FMC so I don't understand it :huh:

Thanks Zuendholz!

Hi Does anyone know where I can get a Jet2 livery for the NGX? i've looked all over and the only ones I could find were taken down when a VA folded. Many thanks

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this has been reported before, I can't find anything previous so here goes... Does anyone have problems with MA Amsterdam having flickering ground textures at the airport, specifically the taxiways and runways? I know AMS is at an odd altitude, does the scenery level need raising a foot or so to ride over the default scenery? Many thanks

Thanks Michael, so if I plan a flight with SimBrief, can this be loaded into Vox ATC and will it be fully compliant? As for traffic... how does it compile traffic patterns, does it use real world timetables or is it just random? I think I use Traffic X or Traffic 360, Thanks again

Hi everyone I have now mastered how to fly the Airbus X, I can choose SIDS/STARS and fly everything great. However, I am missing ATC, and that's a big chunk of realism. I'm looking to purchase Vox ATC, I guess there's no button control option? How steep is the learning curve, having never dabbled with VATSIM I have no idea on how to reply to ATC properly. Is there some sort of template or guide book? It seems really daunting to a casual simmer like me but I strive for realism so hopefully you guys can guide me in the right direction. Thanks Luke

Thanks guys!

Hi everyone, As I own the Airbus Extended and a few UK2000 Xtreme airports, I would like to simulate Easyjet operations. My question to you guys is do you know of any scenery for Europe (where EZY fly) that is worth getting? Also, where can I learn more about their operations and bases? Thanks

Thanks guys, luckily I have a seperate throttle and joystick so it's a bit easier. I have found I can land pretty well if I disengage the autopilot once I enter the glideslope/localiser area. I keep the autothrottle on to keep a steady speed as I descend and line up by hand, I set engines to idle as I cross the threshold and my plane brings itself down nicely as I flare and hit the centerline . I guess what I was doing wrong was trying to take control in the very final moment of the flight. As a result of flying Airbus I thought that reducing throttle to idle would disengage the autothrottle but clearly it doesn't. No wonder I was floating. I'm gonna keep practising flying manual circuits. With Ryanair, for instance, how many of their landings will be "fully manual"? Thanks
