I just recently reinstalled FSX and am coming across a problem. I use SPAD for some of my proflight stuff and also run FSUIPC for some of them as well... I have noticed that every time I switch on my batteries through my switch panel I get CTD. Has anyone ever had this issue before? Could any please help me out? Thanks so much for your time...

Was curious if anyone has found a way to put the shockwave lights on to the B200?

So what about the taxi and runway lights? Is there any way to swap out the Carenado taxi and runway lights with the shockwave ones?

I would like to know the same as well...

I have been away from FSX for a good few months now and have been really wanting to learn to speak to ATC before actually getting on Vatsim and making an idiot of myself... I was wondering if anyone knew of a program that I could use to learn to speak to ATC. I was hoping for something that would allow me to speak, as I would on Vatsim or in real life, but not be an actual person but a program. Thanks in advance... Dustin

I do have quite a bit of scenery. Probably enough to overflow the rest of my SSD if I was to install all of FSX on my SSD. This is extremely true. I want things to be smooth and flowing, as well as an FPS boost. And I believe putting FSX on an SSD would help with doing that.But my question still lies. is there any way to split up files/folders between hard drives but yet still be able to run FSX?

That's the thing... I do use those addons, well at least REX, GEX, NGX, UTX, FEX, as well as some other sceneries.... But my question still lies on is there any way to split up files/folders between hard drives but yet still be able to run FSX?

I have a 120gb SSD drive that has about 50gb left on it. I also have 600gb HDD drive. The SSD drive has my OS on it and is super fast when loading up windows. I have FSX on my HDD drive right now, and although I don't know what type of HDD drive it is, I do know that it has to be extremely slow considering that it is about 6 years old. I was thinking about putting my fsx on the SSD drive but was worried about it sucking up my SSD space. I'm sure the performance would be better on the SSD drive, but was hoping that there was some way to install FSX on the SSD, but putting other folders on the HDD, folders that are not in use much or something like that. Was curious if this was possible, and if so, how?One more quick question... When installing FSX, I have heard that it is best to install it in it's on directory, like C:\Microsoft Flight Simulator X, instead of going through program files and all that. Is this true or just a myth? Thanks again guys!

Now if only we can get the Saitek Pro Flight Multi Panel and Switch Panel working. What an awesome present that would be... LoL!

I was curious if MCE is compatible with PMDG 737 NGX? Thanks...

Just wanted to say thanks for all the good suggestions. I'll take a look at VoxATC and MCE, and see which one I like better. Thanks again!Just wanted to say thanks for all the good suggestions. I'll take a look at VoxATC and MCE, and see which one I like better. Thanks again!

I am looking for an ATC software that will allow me to talk, using my voice, to the in game ATC. I feel as it will help me with getting some radio lengo down before hoping on VATSIM and goofing up the airways. Was curious if anything like this exists... Thanks... :(

Thanks so much for the replies... I'll be sure to give them all a go and let you guys know how it's working... Thanks for all the awesome input.... I've learned so much from this forum. Thanks a ton!

Wasn't too sure as to if I am getting the best performance on my machine. So I figured that I would have a go and ask the experts on this forum, since I have only been simming for about 3 months while there are a lot of people that have been simming for much much longer. So any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

I have also went to the cfg automated teaking tool and this is what I get....Congratulations! you have an optimal AffinityMask value!Congratulations! Your have an optimal RejectThreshold value!Congratulations! you already have HIGHMEMFIX set!You are running with frame rates set to unlimited, great! but MAKE SURE you use the 'external' frame rate limiter set to 'exactly' 30 FPS for optimal results. You can download it hereCongratulations! your TextureMaxLoad is set to an optimal value!Congratulations! You already have an optimal SWAP_WAIT_TIMEOUT value.Your have an optimal SmallPartRejectRadius value!You are using a non standard Texture Size! we'll skip this option and leave it unchanged.MAKE SURE to disable Transparency Anti-aliasing for improved smoothness with your NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 card.Any suggestions whatsoever would be greatly appreciated. Anything that you think I should add or get rid of please feel free to let me know... And once again, Thanks so much!
