Where is the ultimate terrain setup tool installed to on a hard drive if I buy the product and what can I configure? bha19

I have 2 questions on ground vehicles.1) Is there a way to get the luggage conveyor truck to stop and or stop raising the ramp? Half of the time or more the ramp winds up in the middle of the plane and is vertical and do the regional jets use a luggage conveyor.2) When I ask for pushback is there a way to turn the plane while being pushed back?bha19

Thanks,bha19

I know this has been asked probably before.I just purchased FSGenesis scenery bundle that includes all they have and all I can say is wow. My question is if I just use this why would I need UTX, GEX or the like? I know REX is mostly for the sky and airport textures so I know that is different, but what do UTX and GEX offer on top of FSGenesis?bha19

I'm a bit puzzled the "unzipped the added sounds ..." part of your post.Assuming you are indeed referring to the ProjectFokker F28.Because it is a full, self-installing executable. About your second point: No, there isn't a panel for this aircraft in FSX.This aircraft was solely intended for FS9, if only since most (compiled) gauges do not adhere to the format required by FSX.Regards, Rob

I use Kaspersky Internet Security 9.0.0.463 so I don't know if this is the problem. When I go to "MY Assistant" and try to view my last 10 posts, I get a blank page. It does says done at the bottom of the Page so I know it has loaded. How do I correct this?bha19

I just downloaded the f28 and panel and sound from project fokker and have 2 questions, knowing that these are not really fsx aircraft.1) how do I get sound? I have unzipped the added sounds and tried them in both the sound folder and the sound folder of my f28 but get nothing and the sound.cfg is only 2 lines of text.2) is there a panel that works with fsx? I get a bunch of pop-ups that say this gauge or that gauge is not made for fsx and will not work.I can still fly the plane with no sound but this is no fun.bha19

I have exactly what you have and still no luck. I have auto thumbnail in my program files. My C: drive is actually labeled winvista (c:) but I dont think that makes a difference in the .exe does it? Also just to be safe I copied and pasted you text which looked just like mine but on fewer line to see if that was the trouble, but that did not fix it.bha19

No luck I tried a fresh install with and without UAC but it still will not load. I do have a exe file with exactly what is stated I need in my appdata>roaming>microsoft>fsx directory. By the way I am using fsx deluxe sp2bha19

The only menu options I have areflights aircraft world options views helpI have no tools or addons.I know when I installed the program I got the security warning and clicked yes. Now that you mention it I did not get a dos screen to minimize Could it be my Microsoft net framework is different. I have version 3.5 sp1 that came with vista.bha19

Thanks I had a different file, exactly the same airlines though, with the correct aircraft.cfg airline codes, but it seems the text was formatted differently so I used the code from here and it worked.bha19

When does auto thumbnail take a snapshot and add it to the aircraft directory. I do have it installed correctly but wnat to know how to make it work.bha19

Is there an addon for FSX that let you see the aircraft list by airline and not aircraft or publisher

Pure genius, thanks for the great advice, it is just what I wanted.bha19

Hi again,Opa.in red text like an ai aircraft but 1500' above the airport location...also make sure the correct copy of standard.xml is edited... the documents and settings\username\applicationData\Microsoft\FSX\controls\standard.xmlLoyd

What is the way to rename the way aircraft shows up in FSX aircraft selection screen.bha19

What is the filename and where did you get it? With that info one of us can take a look and perhaps spot what you overlooked.

I found a repaint of the crj700 but it did not have a model. It had several .dds files, a texture config file and a thumbnail. It also had a readme with instructions on editing the aircraft.cfg file which I did cut and paste the test. My problem is that the aircraft still does not show up when I start FSX. What am I doing wrong.bha19

This might be a dumb question, but let's just say i want to fly around and land at any airport I see, after I land is there a way to tell which airport I just landed at in FSX. For example say I take off at Buffalo and fly along Lake Erie and suddenly I see an airport and decide to land how do I know which airport I just landed at since I did unplanned free flight (I guess that is what you call it).bha19

If you are getting the error message I think you are seeing (a screenshot would have been helpful) it most likely is becasue the aircraft is a FS2004 aircraft which is not totally compatible with FSX. You are being warned that it may not function correctly.If that indeed in the problem, IMHO you would be better served to download and install FSX specific aircraft.

Some of the aircraft I downloaded ask for permission to use them when I try to fly in FSX. I even tried to run the FSX program as an administrator. I can click yes to the prompt but it asks me again. If I hit no enough times the plane will land. Is there a way to run aircraft in administrator mode so I don't keep getting a pop up message. ON plane is a Beechcraft 1900d from USAIR for example.bha19

Also look in each texture subfolder for aircraft you have installed.There should be a graphic file named thumbnail.jpg in each texture subfolder.View the thumbnail and see if it is a picture of the variation in question.Each variation will be listed in the aircraft.cfg file and in the [fltsim.?] section the associated texture will be named. Example:[fltsim.0]title=Airbus A321 Paint2sim=Airbus_A321model=panel=sound=texture=2kb_checklists=AirbusA321_checkkb_reference=AirbusA321_refatc_id=F-MSABatc_airline=World Travelatc_flight_number=ui_manufacturer="Airbus"ui_type="A321"ui_variation="World Travel Airlines"ui_typerole="Commercial Airliner"ui_createdby="Microsoft Corporation"This example means that the World Travel variation of the A321 Airbus uses the texture folder named texture.2 - and in that texture folder is a thumbnail.jpg of the World Travel aircraft.This may take a little time to check but it appears from your screen shot that at least a few have the wrong thumbnail association.

I just started using FSX under Vista home premium-64 but not for more than 5 minutes a couple of times. When I first start the game it tells me color sheme has been set to Vista basic mode. Finally when I exit it says something like display driver has failed and has recovered. Do you think if I run the game in XP2 mode this might correct the problem or is ther another solution

Since you said in another post that you installed the planes into incorrect folders,I would carefully look your planes over and make sure they are correctly installed.In FSX, Simobjects/Airplanes/"Airplane name" and within that folder, an aircraft.cfg file that lists the variations, starting with [fltsim.0] and so on.If you introduce an unexpected structure, FSX may just do something like you are experiencing.

I have several planes I downloaded and added to my airplanes folder. The problem is that now when I start FSX and do a free flight a nd choose an aircraft the picture does not match the plane description. Any idea which plane might cause this problem?bha19
