You are correct! After doing more trouble shooting while waiting for an answer, I noticed in my hangar that I had the EJET 190/195 commercial passengers version. I loaded them up and no issue. I then remembered I had purchased those planes from Aerosoft Store that did require a key. So I went to my Aerosoft account looked up the plane, copied the Key and then reloaded the E190 Freighter bought from the Marketplace and SHAZAAM! So for what ever reason if they make another E190 version I will have to use the Aerosoft Key provided.

Thank you for the idea, but tried the reload and nada, waited 24 hours and still nada! I contacted Steam, explained that all I want was the Serial Key. They responded back saying there is nothing they can do about it since they did not have anything directly to do with the product, talk to FSS. MSFS stated, Support (Microsoft Flight Simulator) Aug 12, 2024, 09:07 GMT+2 {Hi Mesa4708 Thank you for contacting Microsoft Flight Simulator support today. Add-on creators are responsible for the content they sell on the Marketplace. Please get in touch with the developer of your add-on to report this issue and request direct assistance. The developer(s) who created the content will have the best resources to answer your questions.} the same thing. I emailed FSS and was amazed with a replay within 30 minutes. After some back and forth, they said they are passing it to one of the software engineers. So tomorrow I am hoping for a conclusion to this issue. The software only cost $29.99, but the point is I was sold a defective product by 3rd parties, MSFS and Steam. FSS if you think about sold a set amount of lots to the MSFS Marketplace, who then distributes the software to our PC's via the marketplace. It is like GM selling a car without the keys to a dealership, the dealership sells the car to a customer and upon delivery states, "Sorry, you will have to get with GM!" During my years of FSX I purchased my software from 3rd party vendors that backed up their sales, I can still today download an FSX plane I bought in 2012 with no issues, and the same with X-Plane store. This is the last time I will purchase anything from the MSFS Marketplace. Also when MSFS 2024 comes out, I will purchase directly from Microsoft. No more 3rd parties.

Purchased the E-19X from the Marketplace via Steam. Everything was working like a champ until the plane loaded and wanted the "Serial Key" for activation. I normally do not have an issue with marketplace purchases, but this one is ticking me off. Osobo Microsoft 2020 does not provide receipts if purchased through Steam, when you look at my Steam receipt it shows MSFS 2020 but not the specifics of the purchase. I tried going to my Microsoft account but northing show up there! Anyone else have an idea of what to do except never buying another product throught the marketplace?

I use JustFlight 360 and have had no issues, plus the benny is it does not tax my recourses as much as MyFlight did.

Sorry to hear you are having this issue. To get to the point of your issue, I like others have already posted found that certain planes will cause problems, for me it started with CoolSky MD-80 that I was lucky if it would go 20 minutes before crashing. After reading several post I decided to install a VAS meter, and watched as I the CoolSky MD-80 would cause the VAS to fill up like a sinking ship. The funny thing I noted about the VAS crash was when I would do "Event Viewer" after the post crash to see what went wrong, very seldom would I get the same dll error. Sometimes it would crash with nothing concrete, the only thing that was certain I would see VAS go from green to yellow then alarms, finally CTD! I have noted that when flying PMDG 737 on P3D V3 it too will start a drain, that I have found if I turn certain things off like traffic and such, and turn down radius and textures it does slow the process down. The Ifly 747v2 I have found I had to turn it down, and the VAS hovered around 72% for a flight from KSFO to EDDF that was 10 hours. I did a return flight the next day in the CS 777-200 P3D version and saw my VAS never exceeded 49% and on that flight I had traffic and most of the sliders at normal quality level for my system. The only thing I can really recommend is install a VAS monitor to see if that helps identify the issue. Also, I have had other friends replace to their vid cards for P3D ver 3.1. I am running a Nvidia 760 4gyg mem card and can not go ultra on the settings, but I can fly with no stutters and quality scenery.

Played around Coolsky's Super MD-80 Professional on P3D v3.1. The graphics and details are really good and everything works, just one major problem! The memory leak that Coolsky's MD-80 has is worse on the P3D platform than the FSX-SE platform, to the point that if I took the time to program my FMC I would be lucky to make it off the runway before the VAS memory alarm started its death toll to CTD. I never had the opportunity to fly Coolsky MD-80 on FSX, I bought it for FSX-SE and had the dreaded CTD, finally I found from others how to diagnose this and installed a VAS Monitor, and there it was, a memory leak. It is funny that on P3D V3.1 it is quite faster than FSX-SE but it is there! So for those contemplating purchasing the MD-80 or the DC-9 from Coolsky I would wait until this issue has been fixed. PS. for the those that were having trouble installing the MD-80, the issue of it gets to the last 99% on the install and stalls, I did find the easiest solution. Just boot your system to Safe Mode, it will install perfectly!

The Safe Mode w/internet worked for me to get it to install into FSX-SE. Once I did that way, works like a champ!

As someone who has touted the wonders of P3D at the very first and has hung in their to V2.5, I find myslef now using FSX-SE more and more. I just don't have it in me to purchase $199 flight platform that will cause me to reinstall everything again. Plus there is the issue of 3rd party catching up. I will say FSX-SE is not graphically as detailed as P3D 2.5, but the I have FSX-SE tweaked and running so there is no stutters, everything looks marvelous, and all my FSX planes run like a champ. I purchased CoolSky Super 8- Pro and could not be happier and that is a very complex plane if you want it to be. If and when I purchase P3D 3.0 it will be when I see in this forum pretty no major issues popping up. Also, I as others are impressed with FSX-SE as when they do upgrade, you don't have to do anything. Another thing that keeps me from buying P3D 3.0, is where is 64bit? So I buy p3d and a year later have to buy p3d 4.0? I agree with other when we talk about P3D 3.0, it is basically 2.5 with a lot of correction that should have been applied to 2.5!

Based on the recommendations I read (I don't blame anyone), I purchased the Super 80 Professional from Flight 1 Software who support CoolSky on this product and so far I have to say DO NOT BUY IT! I have spent the last 2 days so far trying everything I can to install this $59.95 piece of software into my FSX-SE and all I get is 99% on the install and it freezes at CMD80-spoiler_wind.wav. I am not new to Flight1 since I have purchased the IFLY 737 in the past and their panel program. Now I do not think I will continue to purchase from them since no one can bother to answer my trouble ticket since yesterday. I have tried to find help on their forums, but I cannot gain access even though I have access to my IFLY forums. They say they not want to reward pirates by making it easy for them to find help so that means that we the paying public must suffer with bad product installs!

Hugo, did you install any planes just prior to finding this problem? As I have said I have only seen this occur with P3D after installing Captain Sim 727.

I have had this problem arise twice, both can be associated after I installed the CS727. It does not happen immediately, there is something about the reboots and the files, but eventually you will lose your plane library. It was because of this issue that I discovered Macrium for backing and restoring my drives. I never found the exact culprit, but I am 100% assured that it was the Captain Sim and it was with 727 and the 757.

Yes I did install the Air Traffic Manager, and it did make the FPS better, but it did not after several runs and tweaks alleviate the stutters. I even rolled backed my Vid Driver thinking that maybe that might be a problem, nope! Plus after I got to thinking about it, why should I have to install a piece of freeware software that fixes and corrects a payware program? If they make a change to MyTraffic for the batter I will give it a shot again, or maybe Traffic360 will come out with a new version that is more user friendly.

I saw saw the post about a $20 MyTraffic ver 6 and jumped on it. I can now say I am glad I only paid $20. After 3 weeks of really trying to give it a chance, this last weekend I dumped it completely and have reinstalled WOAI. My reasons for removing MyTraffic was simple, performance versus eye candy was my primary reason. I do not have a top fo the line system but my system is not slouch as I can run P3D nearly wide open and maintain 30 FPS with no stutters and that is flying a Aerosoft A320 or a PMDG 737. But what I got with MyTraffic was 15 FPS and stutters up the wazoo! I tried turning P3D down, I reduced traffic, and still the minute I was in vicinity of KLAX, KATL, or KJFK your could almost hear with your imagination the cogs starting to squeal and snap under the load. So that what made me decide to hit the remove button. The other thing about this program was the interfaces, for those that are thinking about creating an add-on. A piece of advice KISS! It took me 3 days with help from the Burkhard to get the darn thing up and running. Maybe I am in the minority, but if I pay for a peice of software, I expect it to load itself, interface with what ever it is supposed to, and run, period! Oh, and if it would nto be too much problem, be able to bring me a Beer after take-off! But seriously, if I or you pay for a product, it should work and not be more hassle to install. "Mr Doe here is your new car radio, all you have to do now is install the latest software and have it interface with your cars on board computer." How long do you think that car radio manufacturer would stay in business. Now freeware or Beta test software, got it! If its free,then shut up and enjoy it or leave it alone. I read one post that said, why not just log into VATSIM if you want airtraffic, a man beyond his years in wisdom!

So what in everyones opinion is the best all around driver version to use if you have an NVIDEA card?

Depending on how deep into the rabbit hole you go, FSUIPC is the best for what ales ya! I have Saitek Yoke pedals and 2 throttle quadrants, plus the Radio and mutlifunction panel. Between FSUIPC and SPAD, I can configure any aircraft I care to fly. The one trick with FSUIPC is to go to FSX or P3D and uncheck the controls box, then go into the setup of FSX or P3D and delete all AXIS calls. Let FSUIPC do the work, this way you won't have conflicts between FSX and FSUIPC.

I have found that if you use the FSX-SE and use only the recommended tweeks that they offer, you will have a very stable platform, minus the Orbix scenary. I do not understand the reason to have micro detailed terrain and such whne you are at 30,000 feet, unless you would like to look at the details as you crash into a mountain side! Airports with detail, got it, but Bucks Creek Family Park along your flight path, I just do not get.

Nice!

I have the Dore version of the PA A319 and it works great. Dore did a heck of a job in trying to get it right. I have his A319,320,and 321 versions that I find I fly more than the payware version. I found this site with all his versions, http://www.rikoooo.com/fr/forum/154/33764. I hope this helps.

Tried to purchase a copy of FS2004 and no go! Could even find one of the jewel cased one that Wal Mart would sell for $9.95. But I can still get new copies of FS 2002.

Here is a question, the problem I have is that FSPASSENGERS cannot see if SP1 or SP2 has been applied, is it a file it is looking for or could it be something that just requires a simple edit? CS and Majestic and others would not be able to work if they could not see SP1, so they can, what is the difference?

Well my contribution, I added CS 727/757/767/777 last night with no issues. All had their landing gear showing and so far no issues that I can see. Also, EFB is working and Flight Sim Commander. I do not have the FSX on my system, but I do have P3D 2.4. My thinking for now is to use FSX for those planes that are not able to run on P3D.

OK I worked the problem last night, I was able to get the engines to manually start after a few tries and hair pulls. First go by the instructions on switches, this aircraft is kind of like the real thing, if certain things are not where they are supposed to be, nothing happens. Make sure you have you air/electrical cart hooked up to the plane. Make sure that your gen switches are set correctly, and most importantly (this was my problem), make sure that your fuel switches are set the engine 2 & 3. Remember those engines are fed off the main center tank and must have the switches set correctly on the engineers fuel panel. I found out thatwhen i could not get #3 to start I by accident got #2 to start when I pushed the start button in, the panel was in the correct setting for that engine. Once you get 2 & 3 online, you do not have to worry about 1 & 4. Use the picture in the manual to match the levers for the proper setup for #3.

I recieved my notification that Just Flight they had released the professional version upgrade for their L-1011. I purchased and loaded it last night with no issues to P3D, and I have to say I am very happy with my purchase! The graphics has been improved, all the major panels are now functional, and they give you a really good FMC option version that you can use. For those purest, they have a dual INS that works like a champ, and the NAV can now be slaved to the FMC or INS depending on your build settings. I was only able to play with some of the systems and do a take off, but everything so far works like it should. At this point I see no real reason to do the CS L1011 to JF L-1011 merge. Matter of fact I can not see a reason to keep the CS L-1011 on my hard drive since they still have a crippled P3D version. For those wanting to see what has changed here is the link: http://www.justflight.com/articles/l1011-tristar-professional-now-on-sale

VATSIM is the first thing that comes to mind. You can file a VFR flight plan and fly that way if you want the ATC experience. I have just about gave up on Pro/ATC-X since it is still buggy! I have found that VATSIM works just as well and is free!

I had the same issue a while back and no joy in getting it to work. Have same issue with Ifly 747 where the glass guages do not work.
