DaveCT2003's post in Addon scenery settings without starting a flight was marked as the answerMany people (including me) use an excellent, freeware program for adding, removing, activating, deactiving, prioritizing and grouping scenery. It works without ever loading the simulation (FSX/FSX:SE/P3D) as it simply accesses the scenery.cfg.
The program is Scenery Config Editor. I'm sure you've love it.
Best wishes.

DaveCT2003's post in Matt Davis striked by IVAO was marked as the answerHey guys,
When threads get this long, they degrade because people don't have the time to go back and read all the posts. When this happens, people's posts unintentionally become nitpick like, often responding to one term or statement rather than the big picture of what someone has said.
The problem this creates is that people respond to one statement, usually taken far out of context, and move forward from a perceived position of being correct. If responded to, especially if told they are "wrong", it can easily create ill feelings between people - ones that I've seen carry over into different topics and even different websites..
Before responding or criticizing someone, one might perhaps go back and read the thread, particularly what someone has said in previous posts in that thread. Doing that helps to form a complete picture before you make a public statement.
I sincerely and respectfully ask that you consider this.
Thank you, and happy flights!

DaveCT2003's post in HGS Takeoff help was marked as the answerHey Cessna Guy,
Steve is correct about the manual, but if you don't mind I'll take it a step further for you using a "teach a man to fish" modality.
Assuming Runway 05 is selected.... that same runway (direction) would be used by aircraft which are landing or departing (take off), so the ILS frequency is going to be for that runway and using the opposite Runway data (gained via the radio frequency) would only muck things up for us so we only want to use data for a single runway.
I'm assuming the confusion is because you're thinking the Localizer signal for the ILS on Runway 05 is pointing outward for incoming aircraft. Way to use the noodle (seriously), however this is a little different in that the Localizer signal actually points BOTH directions (down the course (actually reciprocal) for the incoming aircraft but also 180 degrees off that course as well. That's how the Radio is the aircraft can get the signal as it's moving down the runway. Such a signal can be used for Back Course Approaches at some airports.
I'll add for you that providing your ARCDU (some are referring to this as the Radio Panel) is in the FMS Mode, you can tun your Radios using the CDU's "TUNE" function by selecting "TUNE", then NAV1 and/or NAV2 and entering the appropriate digits.
I hope this helps!

DaveCT2003's post in .dll difficulty ? was marked as the answerMost of the symptoms you described can be reproduced by installing FSX over an existing installation. If you did uninstall, did you do so via the recommended method (manually delete all folders after a uninstall and reboot, etc).
Also, these sorts of problems are also known to occur after a proper Uninstall if one doesn't start FSX after the initial installation, then close FSX, reboot, and continue with the install. This should also be done in between SP1 and SP1 installs if you don't install FSX Acceleration (I don't recommend doing so... see below).
Since I'm on the subject, since you're using high-end third party aircraft and/or Active Sky I recommend only installing Standard or Deluxe (deluxe preferred), which is to say not installing Acceleration.
Hope this has been of help.

DaveCT2003's post in One Sim to Rule Them All was marked as the answerWell... lets keep in mind that DCS has already done this, it's exactly what Lockheed Martin is working on, and both companies have more on the drawing boards.
At the beginning, it's all about modules and what you decide to have installed.
