  1. Exactly what I needed! Thanks...
  2. Is there a simple way to print out the contents of the Community Folder? Thanks!
  3. Hello: Well, I finally have some time on my hands and would like to take the first steps in learning scenery design for MSFS. Nothing fancy, maybe starting with adding some simple elements to a local airport, etc. Is there a beginner, word not allowed proof, senior proof tutorial that would start me off at the very beginning and guide me through the very basics? I would be thrilled just to learn how to place a hangar at an airport! Thanks for the assistance!
  4.  I purchased the Air Manager for iPad this morning and I am getting nowhere fast. I designed a basic, generic panel intending on trying the app out. Now what do I do? How do I assign the panel to an aircraft? How do I select that panel? How do I save that panel? I think I could get hooked on this app once I figure it out. Is there any step-by-step guide for designing and loading my designs? I am able to connect to the sim (p3d) easily and have loaded the Sim innovation drivers. Any assistance appreciated!

      Hi.Congratulations!

      If you run the sim and then start Air Manager, whatever panel you have on the screen should be active. Panels are automatically saved when you make them.

      To go full screen with your panel, click on Hide Menu. To get the menu back, swipe the screen to the right. It's a bit touchy so you might have to do it a few times.

      To make a new panel, swipe to bring up the menu and instruments, then click on the + symbol at the top. Then you can select a blank screen to design your own panel, or choose one of the pre-made ones. The small symbols on the right tell you what sims they will work with. This is the same for the instruments. There are some instruments and panels that only work with certain sims, so be careful. I made a whole panel once to use with P3D and then realized that I used a bunch of X-plane only instruments!

      Once you select a panel or blank, if you press edit in the upper square you can change the name of the panel, the background color and the brightness. Then just tap on the instrument you want and it will appear on the blank screen. Resize by pinching  Reposition by dragging. You have a search function above the instruments so you can search for a certain type of instrument if you want, such as airspeed indicator, altimeter, etc.

      Once you have it the way you want it, hide the menu. Fire up the sim and it should connect if you have the PC client installed. If not, try running the sim first and then Air Manager.

      Hope this helps!

      Here is a link to the Air Manager wiki Ipad Manual.

  5. Can anyone recommend some good panel backgrounds for the program? I cannot find anything except plain colors and would like to have some real-looking templates for a background...Thanks! Steve KGCK
  6. I have been updating some P3d airports using Airport Design Editor (ADE)...I am running into the problem of having some bushes, trees, etc., showing up sticking through the new ramp areas...I am familiar with the Exclude Area function within ADE, but this does not seem to work for the thres, bushes etc...Can anyone advise me how to get rid of these bushes? Thanks a lot, Steve
  7. I have been trying to download the free P3D ORBX demo of the Olympic Peninsula as offered on their site (AUS Server), but have been unable to do so...The download begins to run, interrupts, then the download time increases and eventually stops, apparently complete...But, the .exe file will not run and all sorts of error messages pop up indicating that the file is corrupt...Can anyone advise? Thanks for the help... Steve
  8. As a general rule, are most freeware scenery addons made for FSX compatible with P3d? Thanks...

  10. Hi: I am looking for a high quality Android App that will connect to FS2004 that will allow me to have such functions as moving map, perhaps place instruments on the screen of the Android tablet and so on...I have seen several apps, but they seem to be more of a gimmick...Is there a truly good Android app for FS2004? Thanks a lot, Steve
  11. Hi: I have been a long time FSX/FS2004 flyer, but decided to give X-Plane a try, since Microsoft has ditched their FS development...I love the X-Plane interface, the scenery, the constant development, etc...However; At the risk of being flamed and told to "search the forum" (which I have done for hours), I want to put a final and deciding question to the community. I have learned many things about FSX and FS2004; one of these things being that, through editing of certain files, any aircraft behavior can be changed...So, I have been wondering...Surely, someone has come up with a way to edit some obscure aircraft file that will remove the horrible "left turn" problem from many of the aircraft...Yes, I have tried trim, wind, fuel re-distribution and all of the other "fixes" I have come across, but I still end up turning left...I have flown with several general aviation pilots and, while there is certainly some torque involved, not one of them has had to wrestle the pedals to keep the aircraft on the runway...I have been flight-simming since the stick figure days and have never seen a problem that couldn't be solved with some simple configuration adjustments...I am really hoping that someone here will share their editing expertise with me before I turn my X-Plane DVDs into drink coasters and go back to FS2004...Thanks for listening to my rant and I hope to hear from someone... Steve
  12. Would the program benefit from running in it's own partition? Thanks for the reply... I'm running at 650KB/S...Slight difference! Will that be easy to do in the installer?
  13. Hi: I am, as I type this, downloading P3D (Academic)...(Only 3 more hours to go!) Was just wondering if anyone has any basic advice for the first install of the program...Any wise hints would be appreciated...I guess the new 2.3 version needs no tweaks, but anything else of use to me would be helpful! Thanks a lot and I am sure I will be haunting this forum for a while to come... Steve
  14. Hi: I remember back in the old days, there were several programs out there that would stop all running programs/processes when you loaded FS2004...Does anyone know of these programs and if they will still work with Win 8.1? Thanks for the advice... Steve
  15. Thanks for the great lesson in panel design...I printed it out and followed it exactly...Worked perfectly! I really appreciate the time you spent on this...Now I'm hooked! Steve
