@KL791 I just saw here that FBW would be happy to integrate Software of other Developers into their FBW Installer. I am not sure how you licensed GAIST, but if it fits, would be a convenient way for many users to get the latest and greatest of GAIST. I just updated my GAIST Installation from one of the other 2 sites you mentioned and I happily will do in the future. I just wanted to give you a note of what could be possible additionally, if there is interest 🙂 Thanks for letting us use GAIST for free, it is an awesome package and I can see that you and all the contributors are putting a lot of love into it. I appreciate that very much!

@Lorby_SI That fixed it! I have the screens back again in the CJ4! And by the way: A&O does not need to run for them to work. Awesome! Thank you very much 🙂 Oh, and I got myself a License. I am not saying that to brag, I just want to let you know the reasons because I think it is important to let business owners know what drove a customer to buy that specific product: It was not an impulse buy, I am thinking about getting one of the Tools like that for a bit because switching planes means switching control schemes in MSFS. Also I have a lot of 3-way switches that I was not able to configure to my liking within MSFS. It was not this thread that pushed me to A&O, although it showed how you care, even for non-customers! I followed numerous discussions in the last weeks about A&O and similar tools. What I like is that you chime in here and there and give tips, but never make the impression you are marketing your product. Quite contrary. It seems important to you that everybody tries it first before buy to make sure it is for them. That makes you on one side look very confident that you have a good product and on the other side look like a very honest and respectable business man. A happy customer seems more important to you than another customer. There is no subscription! Really, I got a bit sad when I read the post of a guy who got another product, just to find out afterwards that he only has rented it for a year. I watched Videos about how it works before I downloaded the Demo and then spotted in the Demo that you added tons of more options and features to configure input devices. I saw that your product still gets improved and updated. That is very important for me, not only to get more options in the future, but a living product makes me confident that when the next MSFS update breakes something, there is a person behind A&O that cares and will try to fix issues. I read this thread and was really impressed by your responses. First you were confident that it is not possible to implement as a feature, but provided a workaround in form of a script, only to come back later: Oh, I had an Idea and put it into the next version! Providing a workaround would have been enough for everyone finding that thread and having the same issue. But then walking the extra mile to think about it again, finding a solution (and admitting that your first impression that it is not possible might have been wrong), implementing it in the next version and making your product better and easier to use in that process is next level development and customer care. Thank you for providing a great product to the MSFS community and running an honest and fair business 🙂

Awesome! Thank you very much! I will have to leave now, but I will try tomorrow and report back. Promised! 🙂

No, nothing. That is why I downloaded the FMC and WT CJ4 mod again and disabled all my mods except the 3 mentioned. To make sure no other mod interferes with that. I can not think of anything that I am doing different than with the A320 and 737/787. It should not matter if A&O runs for what is happening within the Sim, right? I currently only have the Demo, but when it does not run, MSFS should not care / know, right? Edit: I also did not change the Default name of th Mod Directory. It starts with zzz and should load last, after the CJ4.

Back from my Test "flights". I downloaded both mods again, made sure the ZIP File is unblocked before extracting, cleaned out the old Mods and put the freshly downloaded files into the Community Folder. I still had the same issue. Then I disabled all mods, except the WT CJ4, your content-hooks and the FMC Mod and fired up MSFS again. Still the same issue. Then I only disabled the FMC Mod, and the displays in the CJ4 are back Online again. But if I am the only one with that problem, please do not invest time here. Some update on either side might fix it in the future. It is just funny because it works fine for the A320, 737 and 787... and the only one I fly is the CJ4 LOL. No worries though, the FMC mod is a freebie and I do not expect that you put time into that.

Strange, but good to hear it works on your side. So it must be something on my side. Yes, the package_version in my CJ4 Mod reads 0.12.12 and the package_version of your FMC Mod reads 0.1.1. I will completely remove both and download again then. I´ll report back. Thanks for testing it 🙂

Hi there, I downloaded the A&O Demo for testing purposes. So far everything is good, except one thing that might not even be supported. It is an issue regarding the FMC Web Api Sample available on the A&O Webpage. I have read the Disclaimer on the Download page, but I hope it is still allowed to ask questions. As soon as I put the CJ4 FMC mod into my Community Folder, all Displays in my WT CJ4 (12.12, current version) are black. If I remove the Mod, they work again. This is with or without A&O running. The other FMC Exports I tried (747, 787) work fine and cause no issues. So I wonder if the CJ4 FMC Export mod is just for an earlier version of the WT CJ4, but then others should have the same problem I guess? Did someone try it recently and can tell me if it works for him? Kind regards!

You´re welcome! Credits should go to rockpapershotgun.com, this is from where I found the deal. @Clem Wu: I purchased my games there with Opera and Paypal too and had no problems. BUT I had to allow cookies for that site and the payout site (has another URL). Maybe your Cookie settings are also restricted like mine, so this could cause problems.

Since some of you might also be interested into some other kind of Flightsims, there´s a nice offer ot getloadedgo.com where you can get for example DCS BlackShark 2 and DCS A-10C Warthog for 18 Euro or 15 Pounds. There are other Flight Sims too. Here´s the link to the deal: http://getloadedgo.com/ The timer says, that the offer is still valid for 1 day and 6 hours for me now.

Maybe some are using Flight out there and want to complete their collection. At least when opening the Steam Store here in Germany all MS Flight stuff has 40% off until the 23rd of July here. http://store.steampo...icrosoft flight Edit: Oh my bad! I did not realize that the "MS Fly" post below was meant for MS Flight! Can a Mod just delete this Post maybe? Sorry for the inconvenience!

The Delco Carousel INS is one if not the best free AddOn to FS I´ve ever seen! It´s been quite a while since I had my last flight in FSX, but I had much fun learning the Delco Carousel INS and using it on various flights in my CS 707. I also have a Triple INS Setup in my FSX Default Boeing 747. I´m not quite sure if I got it from somewhere else or if I created it myself. It´s been quite a while. But since this is the only Delco Carousel INS Installation I have in a default Aircraft, maybe you want to have a look at it. It could be a good example of how the implementation in a panel.cfg works, so you can figure out yourself how to insert it into the DC-10 you´re using. I hope it helps! Hmm... I am not allowed to attach this file to this Post. I don´t know why, but if you want you can send me a PM with your E-Mail address and I will send it to you directly. Kind regards!

I can only recommend the Twin Otter. It was the first plane I bought for FSX and I still fly it. In my opinion it has fantastic sounds, it is big fun when flying Bush / VFR and besides the good variety of models (Wheel, Ski, Float, Skydiver Version) you get 2 Cockpit Versions (one with steam only and another one with a modern KLN90 GPS which is really very complex and needed me to read the manuals thoroughly to understand all the built in functionality).As someone mentioned above this plane is pretty simple to start up and you cannot fry the engines, but apart from that it´s a fantastic plane which I enjoy to fly even after years.The short field performance is fantastic and you can even do deep dives with the props in reverse (I heard that some Pilots do this to get back to the ground quickly after the Skydivers are out to pick up the next load ,but I´m not sure if this is really true). Ah yes, and the sound... I love it :-)

I think it´s quite normal and depends more on the graphics card related settings than Scenery or anything else. I think I had a simliar number like you before I started to play around with graphics settings. After I had my FSX running as I wanted I tweaked the settings for my Graphics card to get a little bit more visual quality. Since all (or most) of that stuff is done entirely by the Graphics Card it does not affect FSX performance at all, but looks nicer to me.Now I think I have around 800MB of Video memory used and instead of the GPU running in idle all the time it´s getting quite warm. If it would not look better as with my settings before, of course I would revert to these. Less Power consumption means less heat and a greener flight :-)Here are some of the settings I changed from deafult in my NVidia Settings:- AF 16x- AA Transparency Off- Triple Buffering On- Negative LOD Bias Clamp- Texture filtering Trilinear optimizing Off- Texture filtering Quality High Quality- Texture filtering anisotropic On- Prerendered frames 1- AA Mode AA_MODE_METHOD_SUPERVCAA_64X_4v12 (I think this was the main setting which made my Graphics Card do something for her money)If you´re happy with your image quality I´d say: Be happy that your GPU gets not much work from FSX. It generates less heat and consumes less power.

Did someone manage to get this bird started including the HUD from cold and Dark by the Checklists (not the Quickstart function!)?I get all up and running apart from the HUD. When I purchased that in the first 5$ sale they did, I also asked this in the old Iris Forums but never got useable response from anyone.

Not a Balloon, but something very different too is the Zeppelin NT for FSX. The Site and the Manual is in German only, but I think installing it is straightforward and the Manual has pictures with numbers and an english text of what switch is for what. Maybe you have fun with that one too?SiteDirect Download

There seems to be no Heading Bug in the FSX Beaver. It´s flying straight north for me too. Watch out the FSX Keyboard Settings. There should be 2 options to increase / decrease the heading Bug probably?

Is anybody able to access their Website? I wanted to have a look at their Forums and my Posts again and if there are Updates for my Airplanes available. But I can´t access the Site with the URL mentioned above :-(

Hey kjng,would you mind posting a Screenshot of your AA / and Texture Filtering settings from the NVIDIA Inspector? I played around with the settings a little bit... it´s strange. Sometimes they apply to FSX and sometimes not. I´m a bit puzzled how to set the AA Behaviour Flags for example. In DX10 the Settings seem to never get applied, which is sad, because my FPS are considerably higher in DX10 than 9.

I finally found something which looks like a DX10 FPS Limiter. Since my Japanese is a bit rusty, I used Google Translate to get all the Files needed to get GSD FPS up and running.At least I get it started and it seems to sit in the Systray. But unfortunately the program itself is in Japanese too. Is there anybody capable of reading Kanji. I guess it´s Hiaragana, because of the curved symbols...Here´s the Site I found a reference to the tool first:http://hangakusouzai.blog82.fc2.com/blog-entry-1254.htmlHere´s the Site where you can download the Tool itself:http://www.geocities.jp/pokan_chan/#GSDFPSAnd on that Site you can grab the Package which has the needed DLL in it:http://mosax.sakura.ne.jp/fswiki.cgi?page=GSD+%2D+BBS+readerMaybe someone can help? :unsure:Kind regards!

The 1301.25 include also the return flight, right? I think you made a mistake in the calculation. As soon as you have bought the Superbug in NYC, you can hop into your new plane and you´ll be back in Germany within a blink of an eye. So a one way Ticket would be enough and much cheaper :(

My heart got jumping when I saw the Thread Title because I thought: Yes, finally a FPS Limiter which also supports DX10. But it doesn´t seem to... when I have a look at the Files in the archive (d3d9.dll).FSX runs much better on my PC with DX10 enabled and some of ******* tweaks applied. I tried to switch to DX9 and use the FPS Limiter mentioned earlier here in this Forum. But I gained nothing. Does anybody know if there´s a FPS limiter out there which can be used with DX10 enabled? :Praying:When I run FSX with unlimited Frames it´s much faster, but I get blurries. I think when locking the frames (I don´t need 60, what I sometimes get unlimited) the blurries could go away again and in summary I get a smoother experience.

AFAIR they were free from the beginning. OpenVFR was a free project when it was started. So what was free at that time is still free.

If it has to be small, then I wonder why no one mentioned the Duke yet ;-)But my Vote also goes for the Twin Otter. I love this plane for Bush Flying, you get so many different configurations in one Package and the Sound is superb. But it is big, and that seems to be a no-go for you.

Since all the planes seem to be at 5$ today, I placed one for the F-16 and A-10... and I payed by PayPal. Let´s see if I can get my hands on these Babies before Monday :(

I´m not sure if flying around the world really needs a plane with 1000nm range (nonstop). There is a AddOn which is called "Around the world in 80 flights". And they do it with a Lockheed Electra. I don´t think that this plane will be capable of fly the same route, the big irons do when crossing the pond.Maybe the AddOn is worth a look (even if it´s only for the flights / the route). I´m sure they try to stay away from the big Airports and take off / landing will take place in some smaller ones. Sure, with a slow plane the flight around the world will take a long time, but isn´t it the trip why we do the flights, and not the destination? :(
