Dear simmers, I have weird problem since yesterday. Until yesterday everything worked well. Problem is related to the brakes stuck and not releasing. I noticed that they get stuck in about 50% and the slider only works half way to the bottom. Why this happened all of a sudden out of nowhere? I have TPR rudder pedals. I re-calibrated them with windows and with TPR software. Small change, now the slider works but moves abruptly half way down in a 0-1 basis, slightest press on the brake, sets it to... 50%. Did anyone had something similar? It is MSFS related. I tried different sim and it worked fine there. Tom

Hi, is anyone experiencing being stuck at checking for updates stage? It’s msfs2020. Never had this issue. The only way for me to get in was to unplug internet cable and then click offline and connected again it while login in. It worked, but is this necessary now? Tom

Go for it, if they cant, they will say no, but... its hard to believe they will do so. Remember, for airline such behavior is reputational bonus almost for free. Luckly I don't have to beg as my brother is a captain on a nice 777-200, soon 787. Not telling the airline ;-) but I've seen this and that during visits ;-) Tom Link

Thank you Kyle. Got it sorted thru their forum. Yes, folder was wrongly set up. I'll fix my signature going forward. Tom

Hi, I am having small problem with update of AIRAC to NGX thru NavDataPro. In FSX I had no issues, however in Prepar3d I cant get it to work. I did point NAvData to the navdata folder in PMDG one. I think this is not working. Files got updated in PMDG, but NGX is not reading them... Can someone help me? Tom

Hi, This is rather strange. NGX is not responding to joystick inputs. All stock Prepar3d planes work fine and NGX is dead silent. Only throttle works ok... Anyone can assist? Tom -------------------------------- Solved. Pilot is a dumb*** that forgets to switch hydraulics ON. Ok, lets blame it on the fatigue this night ;-)

Hi all, New to Prepar. I have a question. Can I install Perpar into separate designated drive? FS Global 2010. Is there anyone who has 2010 FS Global version on DVD and FTX compatibility add-on? Is it possible to add FS Global 2010 to Prepar v3 or do I have to purchase it from the scratch. And finally, is it worth of adding it at all? I will add FTX Global, vector etc... Kind regards, Tom

Rumors. Any experience on how long such rumors can last? For example when pmdg drops one it takes years to mature :-)

Hi, I think I'm slowly growing to idea of purchasing prepar and switch from Fsx. Currently I have fsx installed on nice SSD drive. My question is: can I install prepar on the same drive and erase fsx later or will there be any conflict. Tom

I'll give it a try today. One more question. I usually load perf page thru automated link. Then I have option to either accept or modify. I guess I'll have to modify and insert values myself? Correct?

If I understand you correct, then I can simply forget about pax and cargo loading in the fmc?

Hi. I have a question related to loading 777 according to PFPX load sheets. In PFPX I can see two fields related to weights: 1. Cargo 2. Payload After I sed number of pax payload rises, this is clear. Then I add let's say 20000 lbs of cargo. Payload increases again. Let's say cargo is 20000 lbs, payload with pax is 10000 lbs which gives me a total of 30000 lbs. Now, how should I load this into 777. When I go to pax section of fmc loader, every time I increase number of pax there weight increases. Then I load cargo. How should I do it, should I load total payload calculated by PFPX or should I load pax and cargo separately? I can see that PFPX calculates average number of baggage that pax carry on. What does 777 do? Hope someone can bring some light into this issue. Up to now I was mainly using 777F and there it's preety straight forward as payload matches my cargo numbers.

Hi David, Great guide. I have similar rig but with gtx970 and more ram. Anyway, I'd like to share with you my observations: LOD I recommend people with OOMs to reduce LOD to minimum 2.5. Personally I see no reason going higher. If you have ASN on, sky is cloudy you don't see terrain anyway. When you land you are busy managing the cockpit and following atc. Reducing from 4.5 to 2.5 gives me ca 400 VAS. That's huge. UT2 Many people use this add on which is great. I found that when I open second window to view AI it can cost me about 400 VAS. That's huge toll. If you have OOM never do that. It will kill your flight. CYYZ I don't have FT yet. I'm using modified afcad by Ray Smith. While GTA area is huge on VAS, huge. I eats more than LAX and EGLL Very often people complain on OOM and don't take into consideration how much vas certain adons take. UT2 for example takes about 300 VAS. I reduced to 75 and got it down to ca 200 VAS. My adons used 1. FTX Global, Vector, Open LC EU; 2. FTX Australia with all major airports + New Zealand; 3. FTX NA regions. Here I stop after global was released 4. Many Aerosoft airports - most enabled now but sometimes I disable. After applying your tweaks I found that "missing" 500 VAS I sometimes missed (ok 200 for real as 300 is a security barrier). And I'm using FSX. Wil move to prepared once it turns 64bit - if ever. FSX in DX10 with fixer works fine for me.

I wanted to test some AI that I have added. Looks like my SBAI models are not shown in DX10, but the probelm is that they are not there at all... in DX10 thay should be blacked out, right?

Hi, I am trying to quit DX10 and try Dx9 again. I have uninstalled libraries, DX10 is switched to DX9 in both FSX and Control Panel of Scenry Fixer. When I try to load FSX I have black screen (the one where I choose plane) and even if I try to load it, it simply crashes. Can someone help please? When I keep it on to DX10 - everything works... Kind regards, Tom
