i have  an issue that has came up with auto fps 4.2.10 when it does not close on exit fom msfs, and the only way to get it to shut down is through  task manager. i dialed back to 4.9 version but still have the same issue, can has any one else had this problem?

It's amazing already and my G2 is giving me such a good experience despite the current VR drawbacks. I couldn't go back to a 2D monitor if you paid me. Just putting the headset on and sitting in an actual cockpit puts a smile on my face every single time even after like 3 years of flying in VR exclusively.

It's realistic to the point that when I'm in a real 737 or A320 cockpit from time to time for work, it doesn't feel new. It feels like I've sat in there a thousand times before and instantly recognize the space and dimensions and the overall vibe just like I do in the PMDG 737 or Fenix A320 in VR. It's hard to put into words. I remember popping into a real 737 cockpit for the first time in my life and thinking 'Yep, been here before'. 

What MSFS has going for it over P3D's VR implementation, where I was before, is controller support. Actually having to stretch and reach around the cockpit to flip those switches trains your muscle memory to the point you can sit in a real cockpit with your eyes closed and still hit those switches even though you've never been in one before. It's that degree of realism and immersion of being inside a real cockpit that you can experience right in your armchair at home.

Besides the immersion, VR makes flying a thousand times more realistic since you have an actual three-dimensional space you're in so you have a natural, realistic feeling for things like altitude/height, distance, speed, etc. making it so easy to nail that landing. My first crosswind landing in VR was almost scary since I, in my seat, was so far off the centerline due to the crab angle.

It's something that one needs to experience for oneself since it's hard to describe that feeling of being there, inside of it. It's like flying a real airplane minus the g-forces and, presently, with some visual limitations. Can't wait for a new generation of headsets that improve even more.

Regarding VR in general, Half-Life Alyx is a mindblowing experience too. Once I even tried to play some horror games in VR like Blair Witch VR and some others set in haunted asylums... never again, I couldn't take it, lol. It was that real. I felt my legs get weak despite knowing it's not real, but it's so real nevertheless that it triggers your brain to get terrified anyway. Afterwards I laughed to myself feeling like an word not allowed for getting so scared, lol. If you thought horror games/movies at night with the lights out on a screen were scary, boy, you're in for some full blown heart attacks. 

i would love to be enlightened on the last stable build so i can this fix too thanks

hi, i have had the exact same issue for a while now and have never been able to solve it i do not have cinematic running either, also checked all my view settings in sim, and nothing there suggests any kind of conflict. when in cruise with any aircraft it just keeps randomly alternating between vc and outside views without any input. i have also at times disabled experimental option but no joy, the only other explanation i can think of may be that the original settings for cinematic mode may have  been turned on, and stored in the cloud which as far as i am aware i cannot access. therefore should i reinstall chaseplane the same settings will just return, i would be grateful for any help on this

regards, graeme crawford

i am using p3d v4.2  i still have experimental ticked other than that i have also tried to edit cameras with new views

however this cloud thing keeps changing them back to original settings, very odd.

regards, graeme.

i have done this too, moving folder to documents and also disabled advance setting, still have camera constantly changing to outside view from vc. it happens with all aircraft.

regards, graeme.

hi guys, same issue here with views changing all the time, even with cinematic switched off.i am also

not very happy with this cloud thing, as it prevents me from altering any views i wish to change. i have made

sure there are absolutely no conflicts with keys or buttons even hot corners, but still vc keeps changing to external camera

every few minutes. for me it is getting very tedious and annoying. as the op asked why do my camera settings

have to be stored in a cloud.

best regards,  graeme crawford. 

yes i think that would be better thanks

best regards, graeme crawford

thanks for your suggestion but i have checked all corners are marked none also as i type this my view has just changed to outside again and after a few minutes reverted back to vc i have auto and manual sliders back to zero and cinematic mode disabled. really frustrating issue that has me stumped.

hi kevin, i have had chaseplane installed for a while now, i am  on p3d4.2 and to be honest here i am getting very frustrated with the way the program

is working. my sim is actually working great on an 15 sandybridge oc 2500k oc 4.1,  i have active sky  asca ,rex4, soft clouds aivlasoft efb navigraph simlink, vpilot

aircraft include fslabs a320 a2a  cs757 and all pmdg tube liners. they all work fine on my rig, although i am conservative with my settings. the thing that makes me 

cuss at my machine right now is your program. problem1: chaseplane keeps changing views without any input. (i have read the tutorial) i have also tried turning off

advanced features, experamental, turned everything to manual, heck i have even tried deleting camera .cfg still having same issues. camera keeps changing to outside view. i have ran out of ideas, and it is so frustrating while on approach and on vatsim to have this issue still happening, the updates that keep being pushed thru every  day, keep breaking something else imo. problem2 : my chaseplane settings. i again tried to change settings and views today whilst flying fslabs a320

due to frustration with constant changing to outside view. ( there may be a simple fix for this) however i then got a chaseplane message telling me that the cloud

(what cloud) had noticed i had changed settings and would fix it. i am not sure i agree with this method  as it seems i cannot now control how it works and therein

lies the issue. i know this is a beta but that surely should not mean i can't control how it works for me. to be honest i am not really happy with any stuff on my computer

being stored anywhere on some cloud. (did i really agree to this,) must read your eula again. i do love chaseplane when it works, but lately it is just pure frustration. 

( must be getting grumpy just turned 60 last week lol).

best regards, graeme crawford.

thanks for the info flying this exact route on vatsim right. now around 600 miles to go, the so called golden hour was really nice, much the same as depicted in the video.

regards graeme.

same here +1

Yeah and I was flying beside you all the way as baw215B no vas issues either. I still had 1.1 g left.  very annoying  prd3 problem I beleive .

yes ctd on descent into kbos when resizing nd panel after 7 hours. lucky i saved flight and was able to continue.

i am sure i read a thread concerning pop up panels causing others problems too.

hi, thanks for replying, i have just discovered on another post there is a button  on the console you can use to stop the experemental  online updates, i may try that as imo i  only seem to get grief when chaseplane suddenly stops working, then when i restart the app it begins to download latest updates, and for some reason changes the settings on my controller when doing so. and as previously mentioned  also messes up camera presets. spent over an hour this evening setting up a flight, pushed back set handbrake, and suddenly cameras were all over the place. plane slewed back words and  came to rest in a field well away from the airport.hopefully un checking this button might help resolve my issues.

Sorry, but i am beginning to regret purchasing chaseplane, hence the title. i know it is still in alpha. however the problems i have encountered

with the program to date are just not unacceptable.  on numerous occasions in the last couple of weeks chaseplane has shut down in mid flight

or during pushback. then starts to download new experimental updates,totally messing up the sim and my controls. (even broke my new throttle attachment in 

exasperation.) twice this weekend i have had to exit P3d completely due to chaseplane shaking my new pmdg 747 to bits on push back, and rendering my joysticks 

useless. i have checked all key bindings and there are no conflicts. it appears that the online updates are messing up my sim, and therefore with regret

this app will for now be consigned to the hanger until i am confident  all the issues are fixed without breaking something else. i do appreciate the program is still

in an experimental state, however in my opinion it still has some serious bugs rendering it unusable on my machine, to the extent that my weekend flight  plans

were seriously curtailed. oh well at least i still have ezdok, not perfect but at least it works.

hi, managed to downloads the files ok from flightsim store, however i cannot get through the rex registration process as it does not recognise my name. tried to contact support but site cannot be reached. good start eh.

Hi Graeme,

 

While it is a bit of an inconvenience, it's not as bad as it sounds. There's basically two ways of getting a clean panel config again.

 

1. Reinstall the NGX you do not need to uninstall the NGX first, just reinstall over the top (If you do this, open the PMDG Operations center afterwards and make sure you press the button to 'relink' your liveries. Then install NGX Reboot. Or...

 

2. Open the correct panel config and remove the FS2Crew entires then install NGX Reboot.

 

If you have any problems, post a reply and I'll talk you through it.

Little bit more info here http://forum.avsim.net/topic/471658-get-your-ngx-ready/

option 1 worked ok thanks for your help. all working fine now Neil, and also thanks for the video.

best regards, graeme.

i have just downloaded NGX reboot and installed after un installing  previous legacy version from control panel.

however after pressing the enable button on the new configuration it says it detects the old version on my ngx

panel cfg.and because of this i have to now reinstall the pmdg ngx which is really annoying as you might imagine.

i did not see any info regarding procedure before installing the latest version surely this should not happen..

any help would be appreciated thanks.

regards ,graeme.

I have a similar issue although not sure if confined to my pmdg installs, in that i always have a 2 hour

difference showing on the clock either way of gmt /utc,clcks going forward or back the way, could this be a setting of time zones within fsx?  i do not use fsuipc or anything else to sync time. however any suggestions on how to rectify this  would be much appreciated. thanks.

best regards, graeme crawford

I have the 560ti had it now 3 years oc 4.3 still goin strong

With dx10 fixer. I have occasional issues usually caused by addons, however for the most part solid performance and visuals, although you do have some trade offs with the eye candy,

Which imo do not affect the overall satisfaction using the sandy bridge chip,hey! A couple of years ago everyone was raving this was the best thing since sliced bread! as

we all know there are lots of

folks with the latest and greatest machines and haswell

chips imo i don't think most

get much better performance due to fsx limitations so yes

i would recomend your choice

absolutely. Fact latest & greatest ain't always the best

for fsx.

regards graeme

I do know you have

this issue with steam like a good few others.however,as i said this error is not confined to that platform as it happens in fsx too. forgot

to mention i also disabled mytrafficx as i fly only on vatsim.imo this error seems to trigger while using different sceneries & having them all enabled.

Regards graeme.

i had the R6025 error a few weeks back using fsx, and the T7. which is the 1st time i ever came across this

phenomenon. the only recent changes to my system were the additions of orbx ftx global and europe lc

i think i may have resolved it by just turning sliders down a notch and making sure before flight only using

the sceneries i am flying through. at the time i had the ctd i was flying SBRF-GGOV, and did not at the time

realise i still had utx europe & orbx europe enabled in my sceneries cfg. i have not had any further issues so far

touch wood. hope this helps.

regards graeme.

hi, you are right about the repair install which i have only done once. i have since found out from ryan at pmdg

this may be the issue as before the windows repair i thought it would be ok to copy fsx and all add ons to my

external hard drive however this is obviously not the case. as it has been pointed out there may have been essential registry entries missed doing it that way. advice is complete uninstall  of the sim and all add ons  and clean install of fsx

with all that entails as the best 

way forward. lesson learned! thanks for your  reply anyway.

best regards, graeme crawford
