seems like the mods are editing posts for a lot of obvious reasons but let's just say that file need to be modified and you can probably google it and figure it out. Good luck.

Lets just say if you had a Garmin G600 on your private plane, which uses the GNS 530/430W database, in North America, you'd use this file from Garmin: https://avdb.garmin.com/jg600-amr-1710.exe

[edited] Also it is true that the latest post 2016 WW navdata doesn't carry runways less than 4000' which is easily fixed by using either the AMR database (Americas) or the Euro database, depending on your flying region. I won't respond to PMs or send/share files, but all of that can be achieved by googling and using your brains and free tools. Good luck.

Clearly if LSH Maddog managed to did it 4 years ago (and it works really really well) it shouldn't be that hard to sync 2 cockpits at least in a LAN setup.Eric B

Works fine here. Make you that the FO ND is in Plan mode too. Eric B

Well if it's so simple to port a Win32 software to a FSX gauge in a VC why don't you do it and sell the result for 50% of the price, you'll be rich ! Fact is their 530/430 is the best especially compared to the others 430/530 that comes with payware airplanes (ex. Carenado). Somehow I'm running 2011/09 Airac so it's not really difficult to update, PM me if you need help. Also the Garmin airac is 100% Complete; the Navigraph database are pretty good but missing 75% of the approaches especially at small airports. On topic, I believe it would be possible to make a decent weather radar if PMDG would work with ActiveSky to take the data from ASE's DB. Eric B

Leonardo's Maddog have multicrew since 2008 ... maybe even earlier. It's really easy to set up. Just input the host's external IP address in the Manager before starting fsx; when in FSX click connect to host and voilà; 2 guys; same cockpit. It uses simconnect to sync the gauges and it works really really well on vatsim. No lag last time I flew and we both had ASE running and even the weather was in sync, it was really great. It's been said multiple times from PMDGs that they were going to include it and Tabs said it was going to be in a service pack but we'd really like to get an honest answer. Eric B

Will the Multicrew feature be included in the SP1 ? Eric B

bump

bump for the switch. Can't fly any VOR approaches in the Canadian NDA without the true north switch!

Much better. Will update after some more testing.

I reinstalled the SDKs and simconnect.msi I went for a spin on a small piston twin and it seemed to worked but this morning I tried a NGX flight from Gander (CYQX) to Michelon (LVFP). To check if the hurricane date was working and it worked for the first 15mins of the flight and then totally messed up on the approach, again the winds were correct but it was clear sky and PS20NM+ visibility instead of the metar data. Here's a screenshot and I've attached my log files also. This is getting old because I have countless addons that are working flawlessly, my FSX setup is very well tuned and this is the only addon that has issues.

I've setup my Active Sky with DWC and I'm noticing a lot of AT movement on cruise ... it rapidly switch from 78% NG to 80% to maintain FMS speed but it's very annonying and unnecessary because I simply cut off AT and maintain 80.5% and just live with the airspeed juggling +/- 2-3 kts, or am I dead wrong and in real life the autothrottle is always moving and trying to maintain +/- 1kts. Eric Blais

So I installed Active Sky Evolution with the SP3 today. I used the settings from PMDG'S forum for fsx, fsuicp and ActiveSky: http://forum.avsim.n...t-with-the-ngx/ I'm running the latest FSUIPC registered. I do not have an antivirus/firewall. My system is a core i5 @ 3.4ghz. 4gb ram with the correct timing. Windows 7 x64. FSX is installed in D:\FSX and ASE is installed in D:\ASE it'S a fresh install too. I'm plugged on ethernet cable with a very fast 20mbit connection. I start FSX with the FPSlimiter then launch ActiveSky. I've also tried starting activesky first and I ran in the same issues: - It does update the winds correctly, but it does not set the correct clouds and visibility (visibility was a 1nm OVC 1000 in the metar and it was at 20nm in FSX and no clounds)- 75% of the time it'll simply crash 1-2 minute after start up.- When it does have the correct weather at departure, it doesn't update the arrival with the correct weather. Maybe it doesn't like hurricane ?

I've been waiting for this bird for a long long time and couldn't fly it until tonight because I was on a bush flying contract for the whole summer. Reading all these posts in the last weeks and I was afraid it wouldn't perform, or freeze or not activate. I was wrong, dead wrong. Installed and activated perfectly (paid by paypal btw). I didn't even plugged my saitek setup, I just wanted to virtually molest it :) Performance. Steady 24FPS with REX2 textures 4096x4096 on a 2560x1440 27" Monitor. VC panning was smoother than any others, it was like a hot knife through butter, no hiccups or anything even though bad weather on approach to minimums. Fired up a quick CYQB-CYUL Westjet route @ 18 000' in night IFR weather. The LNAV/VNAV was accurate, I though the LDS767 had the best VNAV modeling but ohhhh ... this was something else entirely. No problems with the autoland either (haven't read the manual but it was simply setting the ILS freq on both nav receivers, identical courses, and activating both AP on APP mode. Smooth "positive contact" flare and rollout ... perfect!). Oh yeah, it's one of the few jets that simulates real landing lights, I was really impressed. My system isn't all that great eitherCore i5 o/c to 3,4 with 6-8-6-24 DDR3 1680mhz 4gb ram. Windows 7 x64 correctly tuned using NickN guide and GTX 470 with 275.33 drivers using 8x AA on nvidia inhancer. All graphical sliders at high, dense autogen, very dense scenary, unlimited FPS. and fps_limiter.02 locking frames to 30 Can't wait for the multicrew! Eric Blais
