Documentation for flyable Aircraft?
A belated thank you for your responses. The SSD that had P3D 2.5 crashed so when I bought a new one, I also got P3D 3.5 and when I found it didn't have the same documentation I thought maybe I had screwed up the install. Fortunately I have all those printouts from 2.5. The day after my post my Polaroid 55" 4K, 60Hz TV died. I got lucky there because Fry's had a carry out sale on a LG 55" 4K, IPS, 60/120Hz, 4096x2160 TV for $599 with a promo code. One really good thing is I could stop it from over scanning and it supports the 3 different color formats. Things are looking good. Last week I was back at Fry's to pick up some cables for my non-flying computer and stopped to see when they might get the EVGA GTX1080FTW. The salesman turned and pointed to a stocking cart with the card sitting on top. Then it was reserve it, drive 15 miles home, get the money, return, go broke, get the card, return home. Whew! Things are looking better. Take care

the FTX (ORBX) website has been off-line, all morning....
It amazes me that so many think they did this on purpose!

Documentation for flyable Aircraft?
Is there any documentation for any flyable aircraft (other than Alabao Extra)? If so, how do I find it? Thanks in advance

Why LM still recommends Windows 7 for P3D V3?
You haven't lived until you've spent a week programing in Fortran 4 and then on the way to the collator you drop the box of cards on the floor. After you think you've gotten them all picked up, including the ones that got stepped on and bent, it's time for a cry and a good stiff drink because it's probably going to take a few days to get them sorted out. Ah yes, the good old days!

I have always been disappointed with AMD.

DX10 performing poorly
You can't just turn on DX10 preview and expect it to work better. You need to check the DX10 box and then quit the sim. Then you need to save your current configuration file and let FSX build a new one. Otherwise, you have FSX trying to use In order to use DX10 , you need to check the preview box and then quit FSX. Then you need to backup your configuration file and let FSX build another one when you restart. Otherwise, you have FSX trying to use both DX9 and DX10 to do the same thing. It works, but not well. Once you have it working, get Steve DX10 Fixer and start fixing some of the anomalies and a new sim. Good luck

Brakes lock on landing
I had this problem before, where I had a "brakes" message on all aircraft and I could do nothing about it. The fix was simply to go through and look for and delete any double entry assignments. Wish I could remember the specifics, but hopefully this will help.

How to fly the NGX with two engine failed?
Thanks for the reports Michael. The second one was very interesting and I may go back to the first when I'm not so tired.

Sup guys? New around here.
Welcome and enjoy your stay! Good luck on PPL training. I think flight simming can be a lot of help.

Scenery question-Something's got to be wrong
I'm running Pilot's Global Mesh, Orbx Global & LC, Vector, PNW and most other regions and airports in North America. I have no problems that can be traced to Vector in either FSX-SE (DX10 with Steve's Fixer) or P3Dv3.1.

Ask Dovetail Games about DTG Flight School & Flight Simulator
A lot of us are now using 4k monitors and TVs (3840 x 2160). I was wondering if you plan on making the menu bar and notifications scalable so that they can be read on these monitors. Right now none of the flight sims on my computer are very legible except for P3Dv3.1. It is the only one that I can read while sitting at my computer. The rest of them I have to stand up and lean in close to read. Thanks a lot,

[Updated 02/28/16] DFS/P3D/Flight/FSX Comparison Screenshots
Look at the position of the sun. In DFS it is much lower than in the other shots. That could account for some of the variation in color.

Safe to Land Here?
I think it's Heron's Nest. Regardless, great shots.

Pedals worth it for an amputee?
I am in the same position as you. What I use is the Saitek combat pedals and I have the right pedal set with the toe at the lowest angle. This makes it easier to calibrate and you operate them with your heels on the bar at the bottom and when you need to brake you just slide your right foot up like your friend suggested. Good Luck!

Which version to use
Thanks to a computer crash, I started over with a new build around an i76700k, an OEM Win10 pro OS, and FSX-SE. The only things I salvaged were my hard drives and SSDs plus I added a 1 terabyte SSD 'C' drive. Other than installing the legacy SDK' I also found it necessary to add to install NET. Framework 3.5, 4.5 comes with Win10. With those changes everything installs and works perfectly. Of course the faster hardware doesn't hurt either. :smile:

Saitek Combat Pro Pedals....
Double check the angle. I only say this because the usually come packaged set in the mid position.
