Hi, this corrected the bouncing effect during pushback for me. Navigate to your aircraft config for whatever variant of the pmdg plane your flying. Example.... fsx/simobjects/airplane/pmdg800wl/aircraft.cfg. Open in notepad and scroll down until you find the heading titled [contact points] There will be two entries to modify. static_pitch=-0.60 (don't forget the minus in front of the 0) static_cg_height=8.20 Save and exit. This should stop the bouncing effect during pushback. Hope that helps out.

Here is a complete pdf tutorial for fsuipc. Its for ch products for will work with Saitek yoke,pedal,quadrant setup. http://fsuipc.simflight.com/beta/SIMSAMURAI+FSUIPC+TUTORIAL.pdf It's rather easy once you get the hang of it. Hope that helps out.

Hi Robert, You definitely should be getting smooth horizontal bar movement in fsx. And the fact that you are getting vertical movement in the control panel shows that it is working. Check your sensitivity settings out in fsx. Try moving to full 100% and see if that helps out. Sorry, that's about all I can think of at the moment.

Nice video Helen! I liked it so much I purchased the Delaware scenery hoping that I could spot the house I lived at in Newark. But that was 40 yrs ago...

Nice screenshot Jim! Sure makes me want to try some of the MegaScenery out. I'm just terrified i'll like it and want to purchase them all.... :lol: Might try out Georgia and work my way up the East Coast. The install method you mentioned sure does sound tedious. Seems as though they could come up with a UI that could handle it all. Of course there is the Dvd option. But that's even mo money..

Hi, all panels can be opened using the Shift + 1 through 9 keys while in 2D. Hope that helps out.

Hi Lamaire, Make sure you've applied the latest patch for the pnw_nrm region. There are four files you can delete located in the pnw_na_pnw05_scenery folder. If you'd like, you can copy and paste each file into a seperate folder if you want to install them back. The four files are: 1. FTX_PNW_objects_CYVR_PLC.bgl 2. FTX_PNW_objects_CYVR_Delta_PLC.bgl 3. ADE_FTX_PNW_CYVR_Vancouver_Intl_CVX.bgl 4. ADE_FTX_PNW_CYVR_Vancouver_Intl.bgl These should be the only files you have to remove. Hope that helps.

55 here, 56 in 1 month... :drinks:

Excellent scenery & plane.....nice shots!.... :smile:

Appreciate the heads up on this. At that price, I couldn't resist. Just ordered the 4 dvd set. :yahoo:

Haven't posted in forever. Santa brought me some goodies, ngx...efb and fs2crew.. :yahoo: Merry Christmas to all. @Stumpwiz....cool picture Mike

Hi, I had the exact same error message when trying to re-install FSX. Search google for "Windows CleanUp Installer". Very small program. I installed and ran the program. FSX installed without the error. Hope that helps out.

A2A cub or Ultralight for me... :(

Hello Ark, thanks for the suggestion. I'm currently only playing FSX on my pc. All my other gaming is done on my Xbox 360. :( I've learned quick that this can be an expensive hobby...

Hi Stephen, thanks for the reply. I'll take your advice and get a gtx 480. I've got to take the plunge and go ahead and try to overclock. Never have tried it. If I could get at least 3.6ghz i'd be happy with that. I'm using a CoolerMaster V8 for the hsf. Hopefully that'll do the trick for cooling.Mike

Hi all, I currently am using a single gtx 260 sc for fsx. I want to add a second monitor and could actually install one on my 260. But I really can't afford a hit on fps by doing this. Trying to figure out the best route to take. Should I install another gtx 260 sc in sli mode or get a gtx 480 and use the 260 for the second monitor.I'm running a I7-920 stock w/6gb at 1600. I need to overclock but don't have the nerve too..... :( Just wanted some opinions on that. Thanks!Mike

Hey Bob, thanks for the help! Took me all of about 30 seconds once you told me how. Works perfect. Appreciate that.Mike

Hello all, new to fsx and trying to configure the saitek throttle to the RealAir Beech Duke which has two throttles. I've got the yoke and pedals finally configured through the full version of fsuipc. But can't figure out how to use both throttles on the Duke with just one throttle on the saitek. Thanks!Mike

Hi Jim, thanks for the reply. I haven't installed any tweaks as of yet. Appreciate the link you provided. Will take a look at that. I first might uninstall fsx and put it solely on its own hd. And then check out the tweaks.Best,Mike

Hello all, new to the forum and to fsx. I'm getting random freezes only when I set the fps lock to unlimited. Locks up everytime. However, if I change to 30fps, it never happens. Now I know some are saying to themselves "well don't use unlimited dummy" :( . But I was just curious as to why that might be happening.I think I have messed up by putting fsx in the default folder. Actually have a second drive I should have installed it on and probably should still do it. My specs are as followed:Win 7 64bit, sp1 & sp2, acc. I7 920 stock, ocz 1600, gtx 260, standard hdd.Fsx is really running smooth at 30fps. About to install rex and gex, hopefully won't take too big of hit on the fps. Almost forgot, have a flight yoke and rudder pedals on the way, what a blast flying off this keyboard... :( .Just a side note, i've been browsing around the forums, doing a lot of reading. I might have got in over my head with this hobby. Oh well, gonna give it a shot anyway. If it doesn't work out, i'll see you folks at the Swap Meet.... :( . Thanks.Mike

Scott, thanks for the welcome in. You're right, I do need to think about OC'ing. Never got up the nerve to try it :( . But just might have to. I'll do some reading here on the forums and over at overclock.net and see what all is involved. Heck, what's the worse that could happen? :( Mike

Thanks Scott for the reply back. I'll give it a try. Hopefully the fps hit isn't too bad. If so, I might need to look into boosting my specs up a bit. Thanks again.Mike

Hello Flightsimmers,I just recently built my system, I7 920, 6gigs ocz 1600 with the gtx 260. Will this video card handle a second monitor used primarily for gps with FSX?Thanks! :(
