I too have a Saitek Yoke prof with a throttle quadrant. Do as xxxjohnxxx says and set 'A/T Overide' to Never. It works for me, no problems at all

Parking brake msg is around until you have removed the chocks. /Per W

I have had it one time in my Old system at heathrow, I had changed density to Very Dense. Very right on the slider. Had played around with it on some country airfield with the Flying Wing. But using Very Dense on UK2000 Heathrow killed my system, frooze/hanged when I switched to Spot view. With Normal density I can fly PMDG 737 without any problem at Heathrow. Lower some scenery settings and see if it works, a High End Win7 pc does not mean you can set things very high. It is only a 32-bit app. after all. /Per W

One more little thing that have been better is RC4 and assigning runways. With AS RC atis said RW xx used for landing and departing. Then later when I contacted approach or ground they gave me a completely different runway. It have not been like that for my last 4 flights in row with OpusFSX. When RC Atis says runway 19L used, then ground gives me that runway and I can hear it sending other planes there too. I have UT2. This was many times wrong with AS, Atis said rw 19L then ground told me to go to rw 26 instead. Same with landings. Atis one rw and approach another rw. Must be that OpusFSX do not touch the metar so wind is the same until a Metar says anything else. I think that AS tampered with the wind so RC got confused. I can not find any other explanation. Or.....does someone have one?? I do a lot of long flights, PMDG 737NGX and OpusFSX just makes the planning a lot better/easier, I most important I can rely on the reports and keep my plan for dep or approach. With AS many times I had to change it in the last minute. /Per W

"Kee" is a stupid expression in a funny UK serie on tv with John Cleese doing a owner of a small hotel, Falwty Towers. Completetly mad, insane etc. http://en.wikipedia....i/Fawlty_Towers Read about Manuel, a spanish waiter with a very bad English that always answer "Kee" to everything. Or "¿Qué?" ("What?") fromm wikipage. /Per W

Kee?? did you try the demo ?? What is your system ?? /Per

Never happend to me with real METAR vs AS, what AS says in its own metar is also what it might give you. Have you checked with this NOA page and compared to AS? On many times AS report said OVC but none when I arrived. Even after several Refreshes still no OVC or whatever the weather was. Sometimes it was OK but not many. So far it have been on the numbers, (wind, number of cloud layers and base of each layer), from OpusFSX with what NOA says about European places. I also liked AS for many years, nice gui and features. Opus is plannings something similar. http://www.aviationweather.gov/adds/metars Just a couple of days ago we had very low clouds and rain here where I live. So I started FSX at a small grass field here. AS gave me scattered clouds very high up and sun, no rain. OpusFSX gave me exactly what I saw out from my window. Nearest weather reporting station is only 40 km away, next one is 60 km in opposite direction. So to me OpusFSX seems to really go by the metar and not AS. Also looked on NOAs metar page to see what they said. I it was exactly what I've got in FSX from OpusFSX. I am converted if I may call it so. :Praying: But AS gives you a nice flight so if not Opus had been around I would still be using it. I use REX 1024 3D textures with Opus and they work great together. My oppinion. /Per

I have not seen any. I fly the pmdg 737ngx most of the time. We use FSUIPC wind smoothing, some improved changes to it in the very latest version. /Per W Sweden

Yes. I have EZDOK and are very happy with. I only got OpusFSX for the weather. The other things you can see as a bonus. I might try the camera things if I get some more PCs in a network. /Per W Sweden

Hi I write this because I got tired of AS2012 or REX did not give me what is out there in real life. Until now! I got OpusFSX. It just loads the NOA METARS as they are without any stupid interpolation over big areas. Just loads several METAR stations over a large area 990 x 990 km in one blink. No stutter or anything, one frame and it is loaded and ready. METAR is gospel to them. Forbidden to tamper with, what METAR says goes directly into FSX. For the first time I have had weather at DEP and DEST exactly what weather reports are saying. Also see weather fronts/cloud areas come and go as they do in real life. The takeoff and approaches feels a lot more alive with different clouds at several levels and heights/sizes. And they are exactly what NOA says. First time I've got OVC 400 feet at an airport when NOA says OVC 400 feet. Winds are also on the numbers. So if you do not know about it check it out here: http://www.opussoftw....uk/opusfsi.htm Read everything about their weather engine, LWF. Also check the forum. So you understand what they are heading and why. Many topics from developers explaining the idea and what they want. Still under development and looks like they working close with Pete D and his FSUIPC to fix / workaround the Wind Aloft bug in FSX. Have stable release version but Latest Beta just works great. Nice price too. For me it IS an upgrade to get better and more real weather. Have many examples to tell. I do not get anything for telling this, I do not work for Opus or related in anyway. I am just happy to get what I have been looking for for a very long time. Using REX textures because I think they are great. If you have questions to me please move over to their forum where this kind of discussion belongs. This is a NGX forum. The devs are also very active there, got answers/responds within an hour many times. Sometimes minutes. /Per W Sweden

Try OpusFSX. I have it and it gives you what the NOA METAR says. Nothing else. METAR is Gospel to them. No morphing or any kind of weather that does no exist. I have had some nice OVC here in sweden on approach. Wind also almost exact on the number. What NOA METAR says goes directly in to FSX, no tampering with it whatsoever. I am very happy with it. They load a huge area with METARS in each update. Check it out here: http://www.opussoftware.co.uk/opusfsi.htm Also read everything so you know what they do and check their forum. Completely different approach to FSX weather then the others. Use it with REX textures like I do, they are just great. Got tired of AS2012 not giving me what was out there in real life. Very far off many times. /Per W Sweden

I use FS Commander to plan the route without SID STARS, it can save in PMDG format. Then EFB to find the best SID STARS to enter in 737 FMC. Then I keep EFB running to follow my flight and fix the STAR and find the right ILS freq and course. And also check the weather at destination, plan my approach and runway around 200 miles ahead. I use AS2012 and RC4 also. RC4 most of the times gives me the same RW as I thought was best, EFB also gives advice. UT2 seems to follow the directions from RC4, we all land on the same RW. So there is life up there and no conflicts, so far is best to add. My way of flying in general. /Per W Sweden

Simpler is to just press the Co-route (empty scratchpad) lsk and you will get a list of the plans you have in the (Your Flight Simulator X folder\PMDG\FLIGHTPLANS\NGX) folder. Prev/Next page to see more if you have lots of them. Select one and press Activate on right side then Execute. No need to remember or type any filenames. /Per W Sweden

Check what FSUIPC version you have. Get the latest, 4.820 made my AS work in a strange way. Now with the 4.852 AS2012 works perfect. Even destination weather seems to work, no need for a refresh anymore. Pete writes something in the rel. notes about 'fix prevent addons to work correct'. /Per W Sweden

Check what version of FSUIPC you have. Me to had strange things going on with AS2012 until I upgraded FSUIPC to 4.852 from 4.820. Something in 820 stopped AS from doing a proper work. Now I have a great changing weather. Do not need to do a refresh near destination anymore, changes that itself as it should. OVC also works great. Anyway for me is best to say :mellow: /Per W Sweden

Me to had strange things going on with AS2012 until I replaced FSUIPC 4.820 with 4.852. Something in it did stop AS to work as it should. Now the weather is great, do not even have to refresh at destination. Both AIs and I are assigned same RW. Using UT2. The OVC is also OK, goes away and coming in a nice/smooth way when reports say so.

Looks like 4.852 did it. Weather no longer stuck, changed now and then during the flight. Lots of different clouds slowly changing and at different altitudes. Only problem still around is the arrival weather, had to refresh to get the same as in report and on map.

Hi I also have seen the weather get stuck very often and have to refresh to get the weather as in the report and map inside AS2012. Have 4.820. Where can I get V4.754? I do have some older versions but the closest to yours I have is 4.751. Really would like to try that one to see what happens. Just got 4.852 (latest), will try it. In the past I recall that weather changed more often then now by itself. rgds /Per W Sweden

Var så god = You're welcome! If you already use it maybe it is to low setting, going to low is like moving toward no pools at all. Try increase RejectThreshold to next higher value if you have it very low. Good that you are on track to crack this thing. Maybe that is the reason I have not seen anything like this before, after the Mega triangles. I must have nailed the bufferpool numbers.

Do you use BufferPools in the fsx.cfg I had som problems on Mega airports with spikes, like long sharp triangles showed up suddenly, whole scenery was messed up. Until I added this, it controls if frames should go direct to the graphic card or via a buffer: You can read about it here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?44197-RejectThreshold-Tweak-Replacement-for-No-BufferPool Without it you can get some strange artifacts now and then: It is the Reject Param you can change and test, Poolsize works with that size. I never have changed it. [bufferPools] //524288 //512Kb = 524288, 256Kb = 262144, 124Kb = 126976, 96Kb = 98304 //RejectThreshold=393216 RejectThreshold=98304 PoolSize=8388608 UsePools=1

One more thing is to turn off all weather, switch of ASE or what you have and set Clear weather in the Weather Tab in Free flight before you start. So you remove all clouds. If you can't reproduce it then it must be FSXs frame generator that goes crazy when there is clouds at that specific spot. To me it looks like it is clouds by the color of the spikes. Or if it is a rock texture from ground.

Do you have UTX Europe?? And Aerosofts Mega Oslo or what it's called?? How about FsGenesis?? I do have all of them and have done several flights to and from ENGM and never seen this. Coming to/from Stockholm or Heathrow. Must be around a 50 maybe 100 flights to/from ENGM . Alway used SID/STARS, remember point Ruvas. Very strange thing you have, I have never ever seen something like that in my FSX. Only on some other forum long time ago. Check if you have the above addons, might do the trick. Scandinavia is little of a lost land for MS default scenery. The default looked terrible, until I got UTX Europe. Have you parked in the air?? Handbrake on and no engines running?? Slew??

You're Welcome :drinks: But we have to live with FSXs own little life now and then, nothing to do about. But in the end it's all about having a good time in the NGX that is a master piece on this sometimes little crazy plattform called FSX. I like it anyway. Fun to see a new kind of weather phenomena, wakes you up on a long flight. :Thinking:

I saw a post long time ago saying it is the clouds going crazy. Known problem but one of the small flaws inside FSX that shows up on random. Not that often luckily. FSX is creating all the frames itself and FSX was far from finished when MS closed it down. They had a very long todo-list. The only thing a graphic card can do with FSX is enhance AA and all that, polish the frame. The weather module, can not call it a engine, is only some early Beta version. The one who wrote the weather code quit before the close down, looked for a new job when she got the info about FSX closing down and got a new job right away. All this I found on a site made by a former FSX team member some years ago, he closed the site 3-4 years ago. Why I do not know, it just vanished.

Try comment out or delete the panels at the very top?? Sounds a little crazy but looks like it's the only way to make FSX forget those panels.
