So has anyone found a way to fly formation in Prepar3D? My FSX kept crashing on my computer so I moved to P3D and FS Recorder does not work on it. Even the earlier versions of FSR make the plane jump around when playing recorded as traffic. Any other solutions to fly formation?

Everything about the plane works great except for that when I bring the load manager up, nothing on it is clickable. All I can do is drag it around the screen. I have read the manual. I also have this issue with the RAZBAM A-7 Corsair II Volume III. Everything else about the planes is great and fully functional though.

In a real MD-80, the landing speed is around 130 KIAS with the nose pitched up. On my approaches, I have to be flying at 110-115 KIAS to get the nose pitched up like the real airplane. If I go 130 KIAS, I have to have the nose pointed down to keep the correct glideslope. I have tried fixing this in a one way. I decreased and tuned the cruise lift scalar in the .cfg file and that fixed the landing pitch problem. However, now to cruise at a constant altitude, I have to be WAY nose high. Any ideas of other things to change? Is there maybe an update from CLS that fixes this issue?

Ive heard great things about both, but which one wins? Seems like a came go wrong with either though.

I keep seeing an IRIS F-16D all over youtube, but I can't find where to puchase it. Did they discontinue it or something?

this is probably a noob question but what is OVC?

I currently have the PMDG NGX, and I can run it with pretty good frame rates wherever I want. From what I have read, the NGX has a reputation for being hard on the frame rates, so I'm happy my system can handle it. I've also heard the VRS Superbug is frame rate intensive- what kind of frames could I expect from the VRS Superbug if I can run the NGX at about 40 fps? How does it compare?

Thanks, George! That was an awesome idea! problem fixed!

I turned off my firewall, anti-virus and everything and it still gives me the same error message. Weird. Anyone else have this problem?

I installed the Sludge mod v1.2 and it works just fine. I want to modify by Captain Sim Delta hornet with the the sludge/combat hornet integration ("shchi.zip"), which specifies that it will also upgrade Capt. Sim's Hornet. I made this upgrade with my last computer and it worked fine, but I have since changed to 64-bit Windows and upgraded my hardware. EVGA GTX 570 HD, Intel i7 2700k, P8P67 Deluxe mobo. Now, when I try to run SHCHI.exe (the installation program), it says "Sludge/Combat Hornet installer has stopped working" as soon as I execute the program. I did "run as administrator" and allowed the program to make changes to my computer. Any thoughts as to why this error message is coming up? I got the file fresh and new straight from avsim, then tried downloading it from flightsim.com and got the same result. Help is awesome. Thanks!

For some reason, all my default runways have these high-contrast white markings. I'm not sure how to get rid of them. I installed REX, but that only changes the runway, not the runway markings. I've tried changing around my settings, but the problem remains. Any ideas? Help is greatly appreciated.

For some reason, the Javier Fernandez's AI carriers cannot be selected anymore. They were working fine this morning and now when I pull down the "Add Ons" tab in FSX, where the carriers used to be selected from, it does not appear. I uninstalled AI Carriers, but got the error message that "au.exe has stopped working" when the uninstaller tries to "remove from exe.xml" and tried to reinstall it, however the installer now fails and says "Setup.exe has stopped working". This is the from the package "aicarriers2.zip" by the way. However, when I DID NOT select the box "Add to exe.xml" the setup finishes fine. This "exe.xml" file is messing everything up. Where do I find it? Can anybody help me?

When I take off in the Iris t-6a with one notch of flaps (takeoff cfg) it takeoff fine but when I raise the flaps the plane sinks very drastically and I have to fly nose up to keep altitude. And when I drop the flaps to land, it balloons (more like shoots) the plane upward at a very un realistic rate. What can I do to quell the effects of the flaps. What file do I edit? Thanks! -Pete
