Many thanks!

v5.4 ActiveSky P3D Not sure how you would adjust that.

No.

Anyone know what is causing this sky color warping? I know it's a darker blue the higher up in the sky you are but it looks so unrealistic to me. Is there any way to correct this? Thanks!

Was thinking about plunging into the Aerosoft Airbus realm but I have a quick question. I have the Saitek/Logitech gear as my primary inputs for simming (yoke, throttle, rudder pedals, radios, etc...). Will these work with the Airbus aircraft? If I absolutely have to, I can get a joystick. Just want to avoid blowing my budget for simming. Thanks!

Hey everyone, sorry for all of the questions recently. Have been trying my best to learn everything I can without having to ask. Is it possible to copy non-default FSX/FSX-SE aircraft into Prepar3d v5? I was able to move the stock 737-800 with a couple of my Delta liveries over and I can see them fine in the simulator. I have a few POSKY and Camsim Boeing and Airbus aircraft that I moved over in the same manner but I do not see a preview of them in the Vehicle page of P3D and they are completely invisible when they load in the sim. Is there a certain way of importing aircraft into P3D or am I stuck having to sink a lot of dollars into payware aircraft?

The only time AI are there is if I have vPilot running. I am thinking it might be one of the AI aircraft I installed before the crashing occurred. I went ahead and deleted those and rescanned AI with vPilot. I'll see if that helps.

Quick update: This issue is still happening and ONLY when I have vPilot running. Thus far I have been unable to determine why, and I have done a fairly thorough search on the web. It is my understanding that sim1.dll controls many things including AI. Could AI being injected into the FSX environment via vPilot be the cause? I did add a couple of AI models into my aircraft folder. Perhaps an issue with those? I am deleting them for now from the folder to see what happens, if anything. Lastly, what AI packages do you all use when flying FSX and with VATSIM? I like things to look fairly realistic and I don't like looking at generic aircraft when vPilot throws them in. Anyways, here is the event log entry if anyone wants to gander at it: Faulting application name: fsx.exe, version: 10.0.61472.0, time stamp: 0x475e17d3 Faulting module name: sim1.dll, version: 10.0.61472.0, time stamp: 0x475e180d Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x0006df64 Faulting process id: 0x0x53E0 Faulting application start time: 0x0x1D9794C67162C66 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\fsx.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\sim1.dll Report Id: 1e5f9f82-5c06-49b6-a256-25efac6fbc8f Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID:

It's all good, any input is helpful. I did make sure I had the right version of vPilot. Also did a sim1.dll search, nothing really specific atm but I'll search further. Internet connection was stable as well so I was able to rule that out. I was finally able to get back on VATSIM after about 20 minutes and finish my flight, who knows what truly happened in this instance. Cheers!

Just encountered this for the first time just a while ago. Was flying FSX on VATSIM with vPilot on a KJAX - KDTW flight. Everything was fine until I was in Atlanta Center territory and FSX crashed. Restarted everything, logged back onto vPilot and FSX crashed again. Restart once more without vPilot, everything working just fine. I uninstalled vPilot and reinstalled it, still causing FSX to crash. Looked in the event log, vPilot is messing with the sim1.dll somehow as that is the cause of FSX crashing when vPilot is running. Has anyone else had this issue before? Also posted on VATSIM forums in case anyone might know something as well.

No system overload. Brand new graphics card and my temps and RAM are just fine. For grins and giggles, I did put back in the original graphics card to eliminte that as the cause. Still had the same problem. This is a brand new computer, clean install of the OS and FS9. I also tested with an older version of Active Sky I had. No issue with the older version, no issue using the FS9 weather engine. I will reinstall Active Sky Evolution and see what happens. Going to post there as well and see what they say.

Greetings all..... I hope that someone might provide me with a solution for this problem or aim me in the right direction. I am running Active Sky Evolution with FS9 and Windows 7 (clean install of OS, etc....) and this is happening (see attachment). This only happens when running Active Sky. When I use FS9's real world weather, no problems at all. This problem has gotten so bad that I cannot even use Active Sky right now. I had to use my cellphone to screen capture the problem while videoing it because I couldn't hit "print screen" fast enough to grab one. Also, I am using Build 702. Thanks for any help you can provide.
