Hi all Maybe someone here can point me into the right direction. I am looking for someone who is a lot cleverer than me to change an existing livery to show my own call sign This is in MSFS and once it is the Fenix A320 British Airways to show G-BUTE as well as the PMDG 737-800 in British Airways and Ryanair both to show again G-BUTE Does anyone know where I could go with this . Do we have something I could check within AVSIM or somewhere else. Thx for your help in advance Ian

Yes, thank you Bryan I don't and never will have Facebook and I thought this is what the forum is about. Have a community that can talk and get information. A good reason to have AVSIM! Thx again Ian

Hi Lasse Have been away for some time and didn't have time to get into the forum I have tried your link but the file seems not available. Could you please check and re post Thx Ian

Hi Bryan Thanks for the update via email and telling us that this is now imminent. Can you let us know what the price will be so we can start counting our pennies? Thx Ian

Hi hayhay No my tuppence worth Some have said it maybe in a bit of a rude way but yes Laptops are not the thing to use for FSX. They just aren't powerfull enoughand especially not a MAC. Take note what HAmmer said. Go there and tweak your cfg automatically that can help. I believe loads of people had this problem when they installed the PMDG 737 NGX. It also hit me but I got the problem solved with alot of tweaking and it is working increadably well now. And one more thing it ios WELL worth it to invest the time to tweak FSX and your system as a whole. PMDG 737 NGX has set new standards in Virtual Flying. And we need a better base program (FSX is out of touch) and yes a powerful PC is needed. Thx Ian

Hi all From time to time when taxiing the plane will jump around like a kanguru. Also when at the gate the plane sometimes jumps up anfd then back down Anyone got an idea what is wrong and how to stop this? Thx Ian

Photons Get your electrons right sorry I mean your words rigth FSUIPC is not expensive at all. It may be a lot of money for you but it isn't expensive for what it can do and does. I actually find it very offensive to say that it is expensive. Pete Dawson has done a hell of a job over the years and without him a lot of things wouldn't work and for some of the basic stuff you even get it for FREE So don't say expensive as it isn't. Thx Ian

Hi all Made a huge mistake and installed the FSX SP3. The FS started up but after a few seconds when I was within the flightdeck the screen went white. I tried this a few times more and always the same problem I then uninstalled SP3 and now it doesn't even start up properly anymore. I start it and before it goes into the flight, FS stops with he MSG Program has stopped working Before I uninstall all and re install all (which is going to take me ages) Any ideas what I can do to get it running again? Thx Ian

Hi Paul What do you mean with 2 systems? If you want to run it from 2 HDD's then yes that can be done. I do this also as one HDD is to small. Not all software can be run from a different HDD as it has to implement itself into the MS FSX folder. The question I have is why are you using a SSD? Remember: A SSD has a limited amount of ' write to ' SSD's are OK for storage if very seldom data is being changed. There are a lot of changes to your FSX folder everytime you use FSX which makes a SSD go fast down the tubes and they are a bit expensive still to use them like that I would advise to use a WD HDD like a Raptor or a VelociRaptor at 10,000 rpm if you need fast access due to the amount of software. Furthermore to make things even faster use 2 HDD's and maybe also a 2nd PC and use WideFS, etc. Hope that info helps. Thx Ian

Mark 2 things 1) We all want to save some money. So fair comment 2) At this price that the NGX is selling for this is more then a bargain. I have never seen such a fantastic software ever to be sold for such a low price. So go out and get it. Thx Ian

Guys and Gals Finally solved. Yes Roar and Fred You were right. Power problem. As you said Fred 'Have a look in the old drawer' And that's where I found the 5V 1A Power supply And voila It works. Thx for the Skype call Fred Thx Ian

Thx Fred for your prompt answer Any idea what current minimum is needed for MCP and EFIS. I will also check on their site. I do have quite a few power supplies in that old drawer Thx Ian I am just playing around with the MCP again. I am not entirely convinced that it is a power problem. Everytime I hit reload on SIOC the MCP comes alive. It should stay off if there is a power problem, I would have suspected or? Thx Ian

Guys I am running into a problem once again with the hardware. Maybe someone has a few useful hints. After a min or so the MCP cuts out. It goes dark nothing happens anymore ( Roar told me at the time to not use a hub as the unit needs quite some amps which the hub might not be able to provide) So i changed it to connect direct to the USB on the PC. It worked fine until yesterday. The EFIS is not a prob. Now on the back of the units (MCP and EFIS) is a 3.5 mm Jack female socket. What is that for? Could it be I can put a power supply on to it? If so anyone any idea what size of Power supply it would need? Thankful for any kind of help on this Ian

Guys and GalsAnyone know when we should be getting the update?Thx Ian

GuysThx for your help and pointer. I am sure I will find it now.Thx againIan

GuysI have searched but cannot find it.How do I get to a panel state of cold and dark automatically when I start from 'Fly Now' in FSX.SoI have my 737 and my departure airport but I want to come into a cold and dark machine and not need to go to the FMC and load it from there.The other question isIf I have a cold and dark machine and it is dark, like night time how can I see the switches to start off with?Thx Ian

GuysWill you be making a mobile software or a SW that can be used in additon to the PC for AndroidI do not understand why everyone is making SW for the Apple stuff and not for the Android market. The units are far betterTake the Asus Transformer Prime. Far better than an iPadThx Ian

Hi AllFirst of all I want to say this is amazing. Actually this is getting all even betterFirst the 737 NGX and now FS2CrewFS2Crew: You have doen an amazing job.I am a newbie when it comes to FS2Crew so I might be getting it wrong but I thought you can also talk to the cabin crew and maybe even order a coffee?Or did I get that somehow wrong?Other then that the product is well worth buying and guys you got a new friend.Thx Ian

Hi FredHow right you were. Changed the USB connections and all is fine. Just tested itGreatSo back to normalAs usual Fred thx alot you are a great asset to the forumThx Ian

HiBack on the deckI just tried the FSX without FSInn and the same problem. It starts up and then the MCP goes dark. If I in the software (NGX) change something with the mouse like the FL oder Speed the MCP comes back to life and stops again but EFIS never stops.So strangeWhen I reload the script and I am fast to change something the MCP stays on until I have finished the change and then it goes off.Thx Ian

HmmmmHere we go again. Just trying to fly as we have Scottish overload today on VatSim and what does the hardware do?Let me downAgain I have the problem that I load SIOC and all starts but after a few moments the MCP goes dark. All lights off no figures. Can't do anything. EFIS works fine. Once I reload the script it is back for a few secs to mins. and then off again.WHYYYYY?????Thx IanCould it have anything to do with FSInn?Thx Ian

Hi SteveI uninstalled the SIOC via (WIN 7) Programs and Features. Then I re installed SIOC again and configured the ini files and whatever else has to be done as per Roar's instructions.Hope that helpsIf not send me a msg and I can talk to you via SkypeThx Ian

Hi allGot it sortedI uninstalled all and re installed SIOC. Then added the newest versions of the NGX files from RoarAnd presto it is working again.Thx Ian
