Thanks guys. I had this exact issue and a bit of nose up trim fixed it. Not too mush or it try’s to take off at about 40 kts. malcolm.

i found that Little Nav Map will not show VATSIM traffic if XPUIPC plugin is active. Deactivate and it works fine. However XPUIPC is needed for PlanG. Malcolm

Working fine for me. I fly VFR mainly and don’t use the night textures. Malcolm

Looks like I've fixed it. Got to "Batch process completed in 19m54sec" now. Haven't actually installed the scenery yet. Poor debuging on my behalf, I changed too many things. Firstly, I renamed the directory all the ortho4xp stuff is in to "Ortho4XPforP3D" no spaces. Put resample.exe in this directory and updated the config accordingly. Secondly I used the "Erase cached data" option to remove all data. I remember doing an early run with "Extract overlays" ticked in error and thought maybe that left some rubbish. Anyhow after these changes resample.exe ran without issue. Malcolm

No problem, hopefully it’s a simple issue that Alfredo can resolve. Looking forward to his response. Malcolm

Thanks for the response Alan, think I'm nearly there. Didn't spot the red hatching on the video so using shift click solved the problem. Worked like a dream until resample and I got this error message. ESP_build_dir is None inside of resample... something went wrong, so can't run resample my config file has this line: ESP_resample_loc=D:\\P3Dv4 SDK\\World\\Terrain\\resample.exe And the resample path is: D:\P3Dv4 SDK\World\Terrain. I downloaded resample from LM the other day so its the latest version. Am I missing a directory structure or something? Do i need resample in a different location? Malcolm

This looks like a really good solution for creating photo scenery. I've downloaded and installed as your video and link above and am running Orthi4XP_v130.exe dated 28/8/2018 16:15, did the tools bit and selected an area (+52N/+0E) clicked [Batch Build] and nothing happened, no error messages, nothing. I did get the "ERROR: Providers/O4_Custom_URL.py contains invalid code. The corresponding providers won't probably work" message on start up so thats probably got something to do with it. Help please. Malcolm

I see your point. But aren’t the tiles totally dependent on the quality of the underlying photography and if there is significant colour differences or clouds in the way that will show in the scenery. Freeware is not going to be perfect. Malcolm

Hi Kevin Thanks for the prompt response. Good to get a straight answer. I better get downloading then. Malcolm

I’ve read the topic with some interest. However before I start to download and learn how to use the software can somebody confirm if the resultant scenery with work with P3D v4? Is it simply a matter of having the config point at the appropriate resample.exe? ive seen a hint in one of the posts but nothing defiant. Malcolm

Windows 7 64 bit pro FSX with DX10 enabled AMD Radeon HD 6900 3 screens, resolution 6068 x1200 I got DX10 fixer working, love the shadows and managing the frame rate. Installed Reshade 2, then realised that was probably not the best fit for Radion Pro so uninstalled that and downloaded and unzipped Sweetfx2.0 RadeonPro AMD. Then set up Radeon Pro and imported some settings. Nothing changed in the game. Set split screen and monochrome still nothing. I do get the message "Sweet fx on/off" in top right corner when toggling SweetFX, but was hoping for something more interesting than that. Have I done something wrong or does it just not work for my setup?

Ah yes, I remember reading that earlier, thanks for reminding me! So that rules out the Reality unit. Guess I will just have to came to terms with using the FMC as that will do a Direct To. Bit disappointing.

Hi Guys Let's face it the FMS isn't really very good, the main problem I have with it is its taking over altitude control and climbing or descending the aircraft without me confirming it. I think this must be very unrealistic. Stil,l no problem, I use avlairsoft EFB and that loads a flight plan into the GPS, using the current AIRAC too. So I've now got control over the altitude and can use flight plans with current waypoints, SIDS and STARS. So when flying with VATSIM I can follow their instructions regarding altitude. Then I tried simulating a "proceed to waypoint xyz and resume own navigation" but I couldn't make the gps do a go-to no matter what buttons I clicked. Is this s bit inop functionality? Do I really have to buy the Reality XP gps to make this rather nice airplane work properly? Malcolm

Well guys reinstallation of Win 7, fully updated and updating the bios and the graphics card seem to have done the trick, i have got FSX back again. Now just got to reconfigure FXS, reinstall all the addons, peripherals and other software to complete the rebuild.

Yeah I've got the same problem, just reinstalled win 7 64 bit and installed all updates. When I came to install FSX started removing applications it just stopped and I started it again at about 11:03 with the same result so i'll leave it a while. Hooray, it continued with installation at 11:15, so on to the next issue. Don't you just love FSX I'm trying to get rid of FSX hanging at the initial splash screen after I've installed Delux and Acceleration.

Here's an interesting thing. After re-installing FSX Deluxe the sim worked fine. After installing SP1 the sim worked fine. After installing SP2 I get the fatal error during start up. Not that its much help as I still don't have a sim that works but it does narrow the problem down a bit for those who know about these things. So here I go with re-installing Win 7 and reformatting the C: drive Here's the plan Reformat the FSX drive Pull the plugs from the FSX drive and the Data drive (Photos, Software Backups), belt and braces to ensure they are not impacted by the Win 7 re-install. Re-install Win 7 on the C: drive with the reformat option Install all Win 7 updates Plug the FSX and Data drives back in Install FSX Deluxe Install Acceleration

The Win 7 topic relates to starting windows it's self not starting FSX once you are in windows so it's not really relevant.

This topic relates to a windows 7 system. Bit of a coincidence that my problem occurred after updating my windows 7 system. I am going to check out the windows 7 forum, is it on avsim?

That's really strange, you problem sound the same as mine a couple of posts down from this one. I have done all the checks in the CTD document, reinstalled FSX on a completely cleaned machine but still getting the same error. Going to reformat the FSX drive and the reinstall Windows on the C: drive with the reformat option and the reinstall FSX on what should be effectively a new machine. Have you installed any windows updates recently? Malcolm

I will politely bow out of this thread as I have run out of ideas. Perhaps another member can provide you with more guidanc Thanks for you help Jim, it does seem my system is beyond repair. The lesson learned is never to change more than one thing at a time, you never know when it's all going to blow up in your face. I wouldn't have done it at work so don't know why I didn't take the same level of care with what is an inherently unstable bit of software. Thanks Nick I have checked the first three and they were removed by the uninstall, not sure about the last one. One thing I do have to try is installing fsx without acceleration as it was working ok at that stage. Not sure what I lose with fsx plus sp1 & 2 compared with acceleration. I only fly PMDG & majestic really.

Hi Jim I found the on the fabulous CTD Guide and have checked/installed them all as the guide, DotNet stuff too, with the exception of a couple go the 2012 Visual C programmes where I only seemed to be able to get more up to date versions. No joy with these moods, doing a reboot each time just in case the registry needs to update its self. The error remains the same. I am thinking the only way to fix it is to reinstall windows 7 with a disk reformat after reform formatting my FSX SSD. I am assuming that will have the effect of reseting the machine to "factory settings" which should cleanup whatever mess I have made. There was no problem installing FSX when the machine was new. There is do little software on the machine now it's not that much extra work to do windows. Can in be certain this would work?

Malcolm Don't know what happened there my post seems to have got duplicated, won't make it twice as good.

How can I check what Visual C++ redistribute I have, is it the list in control panel/programs? How do I check what I need, is the list in the CTD document accurate? The second reinstallation was completely clean, no trace of fsx or any fsx related software on the machine. It crashes before the user interface is displayed so no opportunity to hit any buttons. FS RealTime is long gone.

Hi Jim Thank for the response, unfortunately I have not managed to load the sim since the reinstall and therefore not changed any settings and the fsx.cfg is as installed by Microsoft, I have not reinstalled any addons, so FSX is completely clean. Not sure where to go from here, I have loaded native FSX on a clean system and it will not run past the initial screen. Do you have any other suggestions? Malcolm
