Hi, first of all, i am sorry if the solution to my problem is stated elsewhere, but i cant seem to locate it. in every aircraft i have, i assign the landing gear to a saitek throttle quadrant. i set a range for the gear to be down and when it exits that range the gear goes up. this is not working with the FSX PMDG 737 NGX. the gear will go up, but when the lever (on my throttle) is pulled down, the on screen gear lever begins to pulse in and out and the gear doesnt go down. . i am using windows 7, fresh fsuipc.ini and registered FSUIPC. any help will be appreciated.

just did fresh install of fsx with acceleration. on my previous install, i had all my saitek yoke/rudder/throttle settings assigned through registered copy of fsuipc. only thing that was assigned through FSX was the hat switch to allow for panning the view. now, however, as i attempt to do the same thing, every time i start FSX the default settings return through FSX. i have checked my permissions and access stuff in the folder properties. all is well there. i really dont want to assign the pan view to fsuipc because its not as smooth. im just not sure why it worked before and now it wont. i have searched the fsuipc forums and google and no one can seem to find an answer for these problems. if anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

hi, i have had the radeon 6950 for about 6 months now, with three monitors connected in an eyefinity set up. up until about two weeks ago all was fine. i had to reinstall windows 7 on my computer (8gb RAM), and once i did that, i also reinstalled the drivers for the 6950 (catalyst 12.8 i believe). since then however, i have been having issues with the monitor connected to the DVI port on the card. there will be a random flicker where the monitor goes black for about 2-3 seconds, then turn back on. the interval this happens is totally random. i have tried reinstalling the drivers, i have tried downgrading to previous drivers, all with no luck. any ideas on how i can fix this issue would be appreciated.....

Thanks dfw, I have same problem at night. Can't hardly see at all with dome light. I will check the panel cfg too. Thanks so much!

hi everyone, to anyone using the aeroworx b200 and reality xp gns530, i am hoping you can help me get setup to use this unit in the virtual cockpit. i have searched on the forums and manuals for the past three hours and cannot seem to be able to get the vc panel in my king air to display the reality xp gns530. i have tried the retrofits that were offered by others on the reality xp site, but no luck. the one thing that happens is the gps that comes with the plane no longer works either, but the gauge of it is still there in the panel. i am using FS9.1, windows 7. any advice would be appreciated.

i will take a look at the manual, hey thanks for all the help!!

If you are pretty good with weather functions, could you maybe answer this question for me....I am having trouble understanding the snapshot feature in ASE. I get that you load texture and take a snapshot if you like it, but how does it work with live weather? Is it an either/or option? Snapshot or live weather?

the settings you mentioned seemed to work out ok. i will continue to tweak but i think this solved the bulk of my problem!

fozzer, thanks so much. i am going to reinstall REX textures, and then set the visibility in the weather and ASE (both were very high). i will let you know, but thanks so far for the input....

i am using Active sky evolution.this will still work to set it up through FS or do i need to set a visibity setting in ASE too

how would i go about decreasing the max visibility and to what value?

here is a little follow up... the extended texture box did help. basically what is going on is that basically i am able to see further than the sim can draw the textures. for example, at FL180 i can see a long way, but the textures will only be drawn to 150 mi max. if i can see further than that then the textures are different. is there any way to make it so that the textures are the same everywhere?

i will check extended textures when i make my next flight, but as i said this just started after installing REX textures. this happens at all altitudes, although you see more of it the higher you are. when flying low, its in the distance a bit, but still noticable (thanks guys for your input btw)

yes, although it seems a little further off in the distance, not too much though.

recently installed REX and trying to use it with active sky evolution. the textures look great up close, but now i am having the issue below. i was advised to tweak my fs9.cfg file, but i dont know which setting, how much, or even if thats the problem. any help is appreciated...btw using fs9 and window 7.

Hi guys. I think there is a program called vatspy. Once you feel like you want to at least try your skills, choose a place maybe where there is a local controller but not many aircraft at present. Vatspy will show you on a map the controller and who is coming and going. That way you won't feel like you could mess anyone up (although in my experience most people are understanding and don't mind helping)

where do i look for the cloud types? under cloud options i have cirrus cloud generation at 20, stratus at 0. maximum cloud layers at 20

hello all, i am sure that this questions has been answered before and i have tried to look up answers in the forum, the net, and the manual, but quite honestly i am a bit overloaded with info now and not sure what to do (deer in the headlights feeling). the other day i am flying from boston to nantucket, with weather conditions in nantucket showing zero visibility, fog, and rain. during approach, from 7000ft to about 2500ft, the weather conditions were exactly what i expected. then about 6mi out and below 2500ft, visibility suddenly opened and i had a clear view of the runway though conditions were overcast and rainy. about 2mi out and 1000ft or so, suddenly no visibility again like the metar said. so during that brief time, its like the weather "layer" wasnt correct. im sure there is something i can do in options but as i said, i am a bit overwhelmed to know what it is. btw, i am using ASE in FS9 with windows 7. thanks in advance.

that looks awesome. when is supposed to be released?that looks awesome. when is supposed to be released?nevermind, i see in two days it is coming out. i don't know if these cards are compatible with everything? i see its not power intensive, but i assume it will work with my current setup.

hi everyone, i am entertaining the idea of adding a third monitor to my current setup. i don't know too much though about how to do that or how to make that work. i know that the graphics card i have now will not allow for it, so i need some advice on what to look for and what to do. my current system is as follows:a pentium dual core 3.20GHz processor, 4 GB RAM, windows 7 service pack 1, FS9.1, GeForce 210 graphics card can anyone tell me what to look for to get this setup or if i need to give any more information.

Hey, yeah I love the program too. This has happened with almost every add on plane that I have tried and owned. I'm using fs9.1 and windows 7 btw, but it happened on xp I think too.

hi everyone, i was wondering if anyone could help me with this. when i complete a flight and try to prepare the cockpit for a turnaround flight, FS9 crashes. in other words, i can only flight one flight in each session. if i want to fly again i have to exit fs9 and reboot the program. any one have a fix?

anyone else have any thoughts??

hi dan, thanks for the reply. its weird because i have erased all the key assignments in MSFS that are affected, and in all my aircraft there is no problem (including the pmdg 737). its only in the pmdg 747 that the light assignments don't work, and in the md 11 where the lights don't work and the gear is reversed. i don't know why it would be different for the three pmdg aircraft that i have. also, i thought i had to use fsuipc in order to assign some of the buttons that are on the throttle quadrant and yoke.

hi guys, i am having some trouble with my saitek yoke/throttle quadrant setup and the interaction between that my pay ware aircraft (using fsuipc, registered version.) i am using windows 7 and FS9.i have the following aircraft - feel there/wilco crj, qualitywings 757, PMDG 737, PMDG 747, PMDG MD-11. i notice on the crj, 757, 737 and all the freeware/default aircraft, the settings that i have used with FSUIPC are correct and i have no problems. with the 747, the buttons on the quadrant that i have assigned for the taxi lights, landing lights, and beacon lights will not work correctly. and with the md 11 (which i just bought and have not tried to fly yet), the landing gear lever (which is one of the throttles on my hardware) is reversed. i know there are issues with pmdg and assignments, but why does everything work with the 737, but only partly with 747 and md 11. thanks in advance guys!!
