Now that you mention it, the Proof of Purchase Certificate from F1.com in my 2015 purchase simply says GTN 750 for FSX. The similar but 2019 certificate, from the same company says: RealityXP Garmin GTN 750 (XPlane)

Thank you for your prompt response. It is greatly appreciated. This is strange but you may not find it so: I am running Steam X-Plane and had bought /installed GTN 750 a couple of years ago. As I said, and as you know, there was a Trainer update recently and I went through that. This morning, for some reason, I loaded X-Plane default Boeing 747. The last time I had loaded that particular AC was probably prior to my purchase of the GTN, reality-XP. When I activated the GTN from the plugin, all my saved routes were gone and so I naturally assumed that it was because of the new Trainer version. This afternoon, without making any backup overwrites, I loaded an aircraft I normally load and the GTN now showed all my previous and recent saved routes. I should say that several years ago, when I was solely using Steam FSX, I had also purchased and installed the GTN 750 for that sim. Even though I rarely run FSX these days, I never uninstalled the GTN 750 for that sim, reasoning that I will mess up the present GTN for X-plane. So it may be possible that the two got somehow mixed up? Or do they both use the same trainer and at the same location? Anyway, bottom line, all is well. I have always been very impressed by this product and would hate to screw it up. There had been many problems I remember with the GTN750 for FSX but none with the X-Plane version. I am also impressed by the constant updates to it. The downside of this seems to be that I quickly run out of re-installs with F1.com but the procedure for license renewal is now familiar and relatively painless.

I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere but maybe I am the only one with the issue. I have very recently been directed by one of the GTN 750 updates to also update the trainer. I now have Version 6.620 TRNG . With the update I seem to have lost all of my old flight plans. I do have a backup of most of the folders used by the Trainers. What would I need to copy over from my backup to the trainer location without messing up my trainer version and database? Thanks for any answers. Charles

OK thanks. I will look into this again and treat my FO as slow witted on the Majestic. Strange though, I give similar commands on the PMDG NGX and the guy there is on the ball.

I have just updated to Ver. 3 of Fs2Crew Voice for Majestic Dash8 and was hoping that the previous time lapse (several seconds) between my voice command and the FO actions would have been fixed. Unfortunately this is not so.I am not saying that this is a fault of the program unless of course many others are experiencing the same problem. It could very well be a fault of my own system. I also have Fs2Crew for PMDG NGX and DO NOT have this lag. In fact the action I ask for is almost instantaneous here. I was wondering if there is a fix for this or whether other users are experiencing the same problem. Specs. I7-980X. 12 GB RAM and GTX780 running on 3 windows Nvidia 2 D surround. Thank you, Charles

An explanation of how it has been "solved" would have been helpful to others. For people having this problem, make sure that you have "WideViewAspect=True: in your Fsg.cfg

I've never had this problem on other versions of FSX but since I have recently changed over to Windows 10, from Windows 7, I tend to blame the OS for this and not the Steam version of Fsx. What happens is that occasionally and seemingly at random, although probably more with PMDG products (video intensive?) the mouse cursor totally vanishes and pressing or moving the mouse produces a long series of beeps. I close FSX using the keyboard but the problem remains until I reboot the computer. I should mention that I play FSX in Nvidia Surround on three monitors. I have had mouse problems outside of Fsx since Windows 10 even though I think I have the correct drivers. I have also uninstalled all USB hubs from Device Manager and they were reinstalled after a bootup. This did not fix the mouse beeping problem which seems to occur only in Fsx. I welcome any suggestions. Thanks ​ Charles

Thank you! Yes that was the problem. I had forgotten that sometime ago I had installed a freeware weather program FSXWX and those two files, though not necessarily needed by the program , were included in the download.

When Fsx-Steam starts loading after the initial screen, I am now seeing on the top left side of the screen:"ENBSeries v0.075:GTA San Andreas boris-vorontsov.narod.ru". Can anybody tell me what this is. I don't recall installing any mods for Fsx or is this a part of the Steam atomatic update? Can I remove this? If so how. Fsx-Steam had never crashed on me before and has started to now. Thank you for any comments.​

It is hard to measure with any degree of accuracy a loss or gain of 3 fps between the two operating systems. I set my limit at 30 FPS. In Win7 as in Win 10 on Nv surround I get within .2 or so of the max with a default ac like the Cessna 172 in a default airport like Seattle. Definitely no change there. I now use Windows Borderless Screen with no discernible loss or gain in fps.I would suggest you temporarily disable Nv surround and run Fsx on a single screen, windowed. Run exactly the same scenarios later on surround.

If it helps you at all, this is my present setup: 4 monitors with three of the same resolution running Nvidia surround on my GTX 780 Windows 10 official release that I installed just a couple of days ago. As with Win 7, I can stretch the FSX screen in windowed mode over three screens nicely. No discernable loss of FPS from having FSX sized to one monitor on the surround screen. 4th monitor is enabled but only for non FSX screens. Two BIG differences however from my setup in Win 7 and my present Win 10 setup. In Win 7 : 1. I could drag an undocked window on to the 4th monitor that was not included in the surround mode and has lower resolution. Window would function normally and properly. However when I try and do that now in FSX on Win 10, the window I drag to my 4th screen would freeze and my other three monitors would be replaced by the contents of that window. Changing views would be taking place behind that large window but there is no way of seeing them. FSX seems to be still running but the only way to fix it would be to restart the simulator. 2. I used to use a program called pseudo Fullscreen, or something similar from http://ahkscript.org/ to make the surround screen full screen (slightly better FPS and realism) and still able to use the 4th monitor for maps etc. This doesn't seem to work with Win 10. I have the GeForce GTX version 353.62 But yes, it seems that NVidia Surround works reasonably well in Win 10 although it does still have issues with Fsx 2D screens, similar to Win7 but there are fixes for this. Hope this helps.​

Welcome. More on this here: http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=11460.new;topicseen#new

SOLVED Found the answer myself. The problem lay in "fsx\Simobjects\misc". I had recently bought and installed Fsdreamteam GSX Ground services. These objects in the Misc folder were (And still are) causing the long Aircraft loading delay.

I hope that this is the right forum for me to post this puzzling event. If not, someone, please set me straight. I have relatively few aircraft in Fsx but most are payware and would have complex panels etc to load. It takes me around 17 seconds to get the list of ac once I hit the "aircraft" menu item within Fsx. This may not seem like an unreasonable amount of time, I know but it seems to me that it used to be a matter of 3 or 4 seconds earlier and I suspected a newly installed aircraft may be the reason for this delay. In an effort to decrease the loading time of aircraft and to discover which one was causing the longest load, I transferred all the aircraft within "fsx\Simobjects\Airplanes" to another folder called "hanger" in "fsx\simobjects", leaving only the default Cessna C172P. The result was that the delay was just as long. Any ideas as to why the delay is still there when there is a single aircraft in the folder? I will preempt any suggestions to defrag by saying that Fsx is in the root directory of my C drive, which is an SSD and does not need defragging. Thank you, Charles

Actually the "agitated" cursor problem on "left/right" click did clear up after a reboot. The only problem I have left is that FsInn doesn't seem to recognize the Duke very well and I end up putting in the relevant information in my plan as in T/be60/f . all other AC have this info already there. I have tried various options within FsInn in trying to get the Duke recognized, I haven't had much success. It's an FsInn problem that doesn't seem to be reading the .cfg aircraft file properly I suppose. The aircraft however flies like a dream....

I bought the Duke this morning, not without some trepidation at forking out almost $50CAD especially since I am a little cynical by nature at glowing reports of anything and the Duke did have quite a few of those. I must say that this aircraft has so far met my expectations and has exceeded some. I'm not a newbie, even though I often make newbie mistakes and have been flight simming for around 40 years, ever since Bruce Artwick came up with the first flight sim for the C64 (the one on cassette that took 5 minutes to load). So I am not easily impressed. I am by this aircraft, so far at least. I've only made 3 short flights in it and logged just over an hour. It handles beautifully and the sounds are great. Instrument tracking and approach seem flawless but I have to spend more time on it to be sure. Frame rate is exceptional. On the ground, virtual cockpit view, at a commercial (Virtuali) CYVR complex airport I was getting 50 fps on mid to high settings. Two problems I encountered and they may already have been answered on this forum were: 1. Before starting I had changed the knob interactivity all to " Left Click + Right Click". I found that in flight, the mouse pointer became extremely agitated over any knob and it was difficult to set heading or course. In fact the course and heading needles started spinning out of control. I changed the knob interactivity back to "Click and Drag" and had no problems after that. 2. I use FsInn to fly on Vatsim. I need to manually put in the aircraft type in my Fsinn plan since it doesn't seem to be reading the Duke's cfg information properly. I never had this problem with other equally impressive ac like NGX or Maddog. In all fairness, it isn't a RealAir issue but FsInn. Bottom line is money well spent. Thank you RealAir for giving this old (er) guy something else to play with.

I AM using the correct syntax and regarding the pressure on the system, it may be that I was multitasking at the time (can't remember) and another program might have upset Fs2Crew. My system is pretty powerful at 12 GB RAM and an i7-980 processor. Still, the frame rates, with the 737NGX are normally between 25-30, slightly less on the ground . The runaway with the speed occured at least twice and at the time I had absolutely no control on the speed settings even if I manually turned the dial. The only option was to disengage the AT but often too late to regain control of the plane. The Heading also went beserk, just once and kept going round and round after I gave a "set heading to xxx". But this only happened once and kept going even when I landed the aircraft and it was stationary. Thanks, I will certainly send you the log next time this occurs. I have flown several times since then, with no problem whatsoever. I appreciate the replies from all. Charles Macelli VATSIM 817692

I will remember that especially the "cancel last command" command which I had entirely forgotten. I wish though that there is a way to totally disengage Fs2Crew entirely from FSx, not merely muting the microphone (HM) in cases like this when the FO appears intoxicated.

I have recently updated to Fs2 Crew Voice version 1.5. I am not sure whether I had this issue previously but I don't remember. It may be something I am doing or not doing but this is definitely very odd. Everything is fine with the voice commands on the NGX737-800. However, several times now, when I am on the approach and give a speed command to lower the speed as in "set speed 150" with the A/T armed and SPEED set, the IAS/MACH indicator flactuates rapidly between 100 and top speed and often remaining at 340. If I manually try to reset it, it would go back to its highest setting or winds down to 100. At that point I would desperately unarm the AT and try and control the speed manually, often unsuccessfully for landing. Today the the HEADING command went crazy and and kept going round and round without stopping. With the update, I did reinstall the NGX SP1c. It may be other processes running in the background that is causing this anormality. However since this problem occurs mainly with the SPEED command, (today though the HEADING had a mind of its own as well) I am reluctant to blame this on other programs. At most times, Fs2 crew behaves nicely and I am very happy with it. However this latest problem is very frustrating. Does anyone know how to totally disable FS2Crew while flying the NGX if one needs to? I couldn't find it under processes in the Task manager. Thank You, Charles Macelli

Thanks for the suggestion . It was actually the A/T option that needed to be checked / unchecked (can't remember which) in the PMDG Setup menus.

Prior to installing SP1C and Fs2Crew (voice) I used to do all of this for takeoff and the NGX easily picked up speed for rotation at v1. After that the position of the joystick throttles didn't matter as throttle was controlled by the FMC. Now however I find that in order to reach V1 speed after I turn on TOGA, I need to continue increasing the joystick throttles (Cyborg X) further to almost 80% and speed still picks up slower. In flight I now have to monitor my joystic throttle position because if they are too high I overspeed and stall if they are too low. All this even though A/T is on and speed is supposedly being regulated by FMC. Is there a setting that I toggled inadvertently in the options? I am still learning Fs2crew but this behavior occurs even without activating the program.

Before I changed my C drive to an SSD, I had set my FSUIPC autosave every ten minutes (600 sec) and the delay during the save for the NGX was around 8 seconds and negligeable for other AC. I have now switched to an SSD, placed FSX in the root directory and run FSUIPC autosave every 300 secs (5 mins), leaving two saves. The actual save time is almost instant as compare to the 8 seconds with a normal SATA drive. Each save consists of 3 files. In order to avoid a saturation of files in the PMDG /Panelstate folder which may crash FSX and will also show in the FMC, I followed the advice here: http://forum.simflig...d-the-pmdg-ngx/ and added 3 lines in the FSUIPC.ini Hope this helps others.

PROBLEM SOLVED Thank you all especially to those who pointed to FSUIPC autosave feature. That definitely was the culprit. He had it activated on the ground, every 30 seconds. We then set it for two minutes and almost exactly to the second, everything froze for a few seconds. I imagine that since there is more to save with an AC like NGX, the save is very noticeable but will not be as much or even discernible in other aircraft. Thanks once again now my problem is whether to buy this for myself before SP1 comes out; right after SP1 or wait for other bugs to be ironed out.

I will begin by saying that I personally still do not have this amazing product. From what I have seen and read, this aircraft beats even my own favorite, the JS41 which I did buy just over a year ago and which I use with religious awe very frequently. Both myself and a friend of mine had some time ago decided to purchase the NGX; I opted for waiting for SP1 whereas he went ahead and bought his. He is somewhat disappointed (to put it mildly) but I will hasten to say that this is not a reflection of the product but I suspect of his equipment. Since his specs are almost identical to mine, I will wait until he solves his problem before purchasing my copy. The Equipment: Alienware, Aurora ALX I7-x980 (12 Core) @ 3.33Mhz; Ram: 12 GB. GeForce GTX 480 w/ 1.5 MB RAM; Secondary Geforce 9800 (not used by Fsx); Windows 7 Home Premium. FsX Delux w/ Sp1 & SP2 installed in default C:/microsoft games. The Situation: NGX loads fine; looks great and frame rates are decent (>18). Aircraft is Cold and Dark, loaded AFTER the default Cessna being cold and dark situation. The problem: Even while panning around this wonderful cockpit, there is a regular 8 seconds pause after every 30 seconds. In five minutes I counted 5 or 6 short freezeups of approximately 7- 8 seconds duration. Apparently the lag was worse before I deleted his FSX.cfg and started a new one. His sliders are set to mainly high with little or no land, sea or airport traffic. This frequent lag ( 48 seconds every 5 mins) obviously make this AC unflyable for him until he finds the cause. He also has PMDG's JS4100,and this also gets a decent 18fps> on the ground in a major airport and has no stutterings (is that what this is called?) with his previous CFG or with the clean one. I realize that the NDG is probably more intensive but you can't argue with his equipment. In any case, lowering all settings to low didn't make a difference to the problem although an obvious inclrease of fps. May I say that he doesn't run any add ons whatsoever; have very few if any non-default AC and is not connected to Vatsim when this is happening. The attempts for a solution Disabled every other process running on the computer that wasn't essential to the system, including antivirus (AVG) Replaced FSX.cfg with a new one. Set Priority to High in Task Manager for Fsx AA Off / On didn't matter Hard Drive, cleaned and defragged Nothing runs in the background (that I can see) Prayer.......(no help there either!) I realize that there are myriads of other possible experiments one could try, including Nick's, wonderful paper but the fact remains that only the NGX does this to him. Since I have the same processor (but less RAM) I think I will wait this one out for a while until a solution is found. I found the I7-x980 Processor (very expensive) a little quirky with some games (I am not by any means equating FSx with a "game"). For example it doesn't run "Saboteur" or "RelicCOH", probably because of multithreading so I am inclined to blame it at this point. However, this could be a simple problem. I suspect that this is a unique problem because although I have done an extensive search of this forum, I came up with no mention of similar occurences. I'd love to buy the product myself but I suppose I will have to be content with flying the Jetstream a little while longer. If anyone has any solutions or suggestions to this, I would be certainly appreciate them. Thank you in advance. Charles Macelli

Sometimes, a simple solution is often ignored. Did you try renaming (or deleting) your Fsx.cfg yet? It is the first thing I do whenever I have any problems with Fsx. You would start with a newly created Fsx.cfg and if the problem persists, then you can rename your old Fsx.cfg file back and try other options.
