Yeah maybe that's the problem, because i figured out what is going on...my navdata gtn750 took me to seqm (i think that's the airport), but there was nothing there. Then I repositioned my plane to the airport in P3D. The airport in p3d is on a mountain top but flight1 GTN took me to an airport in a valley that was not there. When I zoomed out in gtn750 my airplane was setting in a field and the airport was several miles away. But I was at the airport in P3D. Wish I had a picture to show, but anyway somebody is off. Thanks, realkewl

Ok I must be going crazy. Took a flight today from Colombia to Ecuador, Quito. Flying RealAir Legacy, with flight1 GTN 750 First thing, I noticed was that the ILS 36 would not activate. It would not come alive. No problem, just handle fly following the GPS. Second thing, could not find the airport...I mean it is no where to be found. GPS says I'm right over it. Paused sim, F11 to look around. No airport at all. Did several passes same thing. ILS would not pick up and no airport in the sim at all. Try to land in some dirt...landed and walked away, but hit a small tree...yeah some repairs are needed. Ok, here's the really weird thing. After the crashed i re-positioned my plane to Quito...and what do you know its a big international airport...yeah. Weather was clear... Has anybody else seen this? I'm new to P3D, but not to FSX. Thanks, realkewl

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply. But I have open the spy and it says SIm: Air Folder = RealAir Legacy V2 which is the same as my camera views. I do not have a default view. One thing that spy keeps saying is that MET Aircraft Location unknown : is the sim paused. The sim is not paused. Thanks, realkewl

So what was the solution? I'm seeing the same thing whenever I load a saved flight from P3D I get no Camera movement from OPUS. However, the first time I set it up it worked. Thanks, Ray

Hey All, Well, I've finally made the switch to P3D V3, only because I upgraded my rig to be mobile. I sold my desktop and all the software and hardware I had gathered over the years and started from scratch. With that said: I installed P3D V3, with Lancair Legacy and Flight1 GTN 750. Here's some of the things I'm seeeing (the bad): 1. ATC is almost exactly the same as FSX when I bought it back in 2006, ground control still does not do a good job of controlling ground movement and I still get a plane that will run into me. Plus I have to use the fn(function) key with scroll lck(lock) to open/close it. 2. Flight planning screen...takes forever when you click on a waypoint for the screen to re-position itself. Zooming in/out takes a long time...why? 3. Even though I saved my lancair as my default light, when I open P3D it always default to 9/15/2015 and the F22...why is that? 4. Creating a new flight plan and saving it...always overwrites the very first flight plan you save...So for example if I fly the first time from KRDU to KBWI and then save KBWI to KEYW the flight plan always says KRDU to KBWI. The name does not change to reflect the new flight plan like FSX did. 5. You cannot get to the setting page from the opening screen you have to first load a flight before you can get into the settings page...weird. Is this so that each saved flight can have it's own unique setup? 6. Avator person...cannot get at sight level with it, when it jumps or kneels down sight level does not change for me. 7. How can you tell which version of P3D you are running? (The good:) 1. Smooth as butter 2. Great shadows and does a really good job of how it would look in the cockpit and some of the problems you might have seeing the displays...I love it, creates a really good spatial disorientation affect. 3. Great cloud shadows Other than these things I'm glad I bought it. But I fly only, so far, the lancair with GTN 750 great products. -Ray

Stephen, I have gone back over the GS guide and I think I did just about everything, except reinstall. I have done the following: Granted OpusFSI access through the firewall created a shared of my whole C drive as the letter 'C', and gave 'everyone' full control of that share. Gave 'everyone' full control of Opus folder and Lockheed's folder Disabled Windows defender I still get the error message. If you're able to trouble shoot with me that would be great. Not sure what time zone you're in but I'm currently in Central US time zone. Thanks, realkewl

<p>Stephen,</p> <p> </p> <p>This is very unfortunate. One, I only have one drive and that is the main windows drive, so you cannot set permissions on the whole drive, I'm admin on this machine, and it will not let me changed permission on the program files (x86) folder.</p> <p> </p> <p>Also, I really do not feel like disabling/enabling Anti-virus every time I want to fly or do some shopping. The approach granting permission and setting a share sounds more like a patch. Again, this is very unfortunate, because I really liked OpusFSX when I had my FSX machine. But like I mentioned earlier this is a whole new machine.</p> <p> </p> <p>Will this every be integrated with Windows 10 and/or Lockheed? Are you talking to Microsoft on a solution? If so, then I can just keep the software until a better approach is available. If refund is not possible then, that is what it is, again this will be unfortunate.</p> <p> </p> <p>Also, just an FYI...I changed ownership of the folder for OpusFSI to admin, so you would think they should have admin rights and do whatever they need to do. Also, I changed ownership to Lockheed to everyone. Neither of those approaches work.</p> <p> </p> <p>The GS guide says set permissions and share, I don't recall seeing how to do this. Also, the GS seem very vague in this regard. I'm not as technical as you guys are, so creating a new group, I just don't see how that would make it work. Windows uses the most restrictive approach, so even if I grant everyone full control of a folder, if another user exist in that folder (i.e. User) and they don't have full control I will be restricted to the User rights, and not be granted everyone's rights.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>realkewl</p> FYI... I did not put the HTML tags on here...that was avsim, and I do not know how to remove them.

Ok I'll try first sharing the whole drive. You said everyone user group. Do you mean 'User' or 'Group'. Right now i have the user 'everyone' in both sharing and permissions. If I create a 'Group' I will need to have a 'User' belong to that group, correct? Also, disabling the Anit-virus is not an option for me, since this is my only computer. If plan A does not work is there a possibility for a refund? -realkewl

I am trying to setup OpusFSI with my Prepar3d and I have shared lockheed martin folder as well as the weather theme folder. I have granted everyone permission from the root of Lockheed Martin folder on down. Theme folder is shared to everyone and permissions granted to everyone, full control. I have run OpusFSI as Admin and I'm still getting the cannot find folder check permission. In OpusFSI I selected Lockheed Martin as my sim and path as Lockheed Martin, then tried the theme folder still get the error. Thanks, RealKewl

OK finally got around to checking that setting and it's check. However, what I found is that if I do a f11 show outside view and then come back with f9, i get the VC view. However, I have no sound now from Rob...now I think this might be a VOXATC issue. Because I can hear the engine but not him talking. Hmmm...I might just have to sell the headset along with the system, because I cannot remember where that setting is for VOXATC. Thanks, Ray

Yes correct I meant "VC" let me check that settings this evening. Thanks, realkewl

Hey All, Will I've decided to go with Prepar3d and with a mobile unit. So I've decided to sell my Mid-Tower FSX with all the works to my neighbor for his 16 old son. I've got a lot of software and upgrades on it, so the other day I was trying to show him how to the lessons in FSX. But I could not get the FSX to show the VR cockpit. I was wondering if it is because I have Steve's DX10 Fixer installed? I haven't tried disabling it, will try tonight, but wanted to know if anybody has had this issue? Thanks, realkewl

Cool thank you...I'll try it this evening. -realkewl

All, When I try to run a new version of OpusFSI beta, on my newly install prepard3d laptop I get the following error: system.typeinitializationexception . Wish I could upload an image would be easier to explain. Even the image url I cannot click OK or cancel it just hangs in IE 11. Thanks, Ray

Jim, Thanks so much for the info. Makes a lot of sense. So I went to Origin's website and spec out a 17-X: GTX 980M Intel Core i7 6700K The harddrive thing cannot didn't make a lot of sense to me, but it looks like I got: m.2 SSD OS Drive (I'm assuming the OS is put on this drive) 250BG Samsung SSD 750 EVO (HD) So I basically try to stay as min as possible. Cost is around $2200. You think your direct seller can get me these specs? Thanks Ray

Ok thanks...I have looked at that, but that's why out of my budget. I was thinking along the lines of either a Alienware 17 R3 or Asus ROG GL552 with the i7 6700HQ 16GB RAM, 128SSD and geforce GTX 960 4GB. Thanks, Ray

I'm thinking about getting a gaming laptop to run P3D and take it on the road with me. Does anybody have any experience with gaming laptops and P3D? Will run with it: VOXATC OpusFSX RealAir Legacy v2 EZDOK Connections: CH Yoke CH Rudders Thanks, Ray

Thanks I just saw it. -Ray

Wondering what this means for P3D? Anybody have any additional insight on this? http://atwonline.com/training/cae-deal-buy-lockheed-commercial-training-unit -Ray

Here's my issue so far when I upgraded last night to Win 10 from Win 7 1. I'm running Nvidia surround video. That had to be reconfigured. 2. Opus FSX would not start permission problems...so I granted "everyone" full control of my Program (x86)\Microsoft Games folder 3. My current issue is that if I change the date/time in FSX...FSX Crashes...I think it's another permission problem...I will research this week. Other than that VOXATC works...CH Yoke and rudder pedals still there. However, Win 10 removes some applications that are no longer compatible. So far the two it removed was not FSX related...more chip set related. -realkewl

Here's what I do...of course this might be a no brainer, but I'll suggest it anyway. I try to never re-position my aircraft. For example I normally fly only 2 or 3 GA planes depending on mission.. Say I just flew my King Air to El Salavador (why because I was really going there and I wanted to test fly it), and now I want to fly it to Bermuda...but I've flow other airplanes since then. So I'll start at my base airport (KLHZ) find closest international airport (KRDU) ...fly a commercial flight there and then start my new trip to Bermuda...of course real time, weather and fuel flow. I will also do this the other way. Say I've reached EL Salavador and now I want to fly my RealAir Legency, but it's at my base airport. Again, find closet commercial airport fly commercial back to base airport before flying my RealAir. Also, I never save it mid flight. If I'm tired I find the closest airport and land. -Ray

This past weekend I was doing some hand flying, getting ready for my bi-annual. So I took out the Katana DA20. Pre - Pre -flight complete. Weather looks good. From MD to Ohio. Pre-flight complete. Needed to add some oil. Oil door won't close. Ok, maybe I can get away with it...taxi to end of runway...take a quick look outside...nope oil door flapping in the wind. Shot down and fix the oil door. Ok, oil door closed...just had to hold the button a little longer. Ok, open flight plan... and take off. Contact center get flight following. Flying flight plan...ok..maybe 45km away. descend to 4,500. Getting a little cloudy. Center told me to contact ohio center...ok...push button to contact ohio center...pushing and talking...holy molly...wrong button I hit trim nose down... I'm pointed straight down.. Now...here's where the lesson learn comes into play. One...I could not pull the nose up fast enough before the airplane entered the Vneo speed. Once I got the nose up...it just keep going up...until I did a back flip. It just keep flipping...so during the up swing I decided to put full flaps in and push the nose forward. Ok...back flips stopped. Now, she just pitches down and pitches up until stall... Lesson two, the terrain awareness is great on the GNS 530W until it's an emergency. When I wasn't low to the ground the screen is black and I can clearly see the nearest airport. I couldn't tune anything because I had to keep the plane under control. So once I got too low the whole screen went bright yellow and I could no longer clearly see anything. So at this point I had to turn to the nearest airport page in between pitching up and down and fast as I could, because one I was getting closer to the ground and the plane was stalling and then banking left or right. So, I tried to make the airport and figure I couldn't make it, so I turned around and headed towards the busy highway below. Almost made it...but hit a tree. The back flipping was caused by the Horizontal stabilizer being broken. Thank God I was flying Aerosoft's Katana DA20. Hope you enjoyed my lesson learned. -Ray

As a real world pilot there's nothing better then flying for real but flying FSX is also my best friend and should be every pilot's best friend. This weekend reminded me just how important FSX can be. So I set off to fly from VA to downtown Cleveland...no reason just haven't flown to Cleveland in a awhile. Decided to fly the DA40 Departing airport was KHSP... elevation close to 4,000. using skyvector as my flight planning tool there was airmets all the way, IFR, MOD ICE between freeze level surface to 8,000. File IFR, Departed KHSP, figured since I'm high up I have just 4,000 feet before I break out the clouds. Maybe about 30 minutes into the flight airspeed goes to zero... Manifold pressure drops... Hey what the heck is going on? I'm not in the clouds...outside air temp is around 11F. Panicking...I cannot figure out the garmin 430 and how to display nearest airport. Forget it...I'll just zoom in and see if I can find one... Turn fuel pump on...nothing mixture rich...nothing Forget best glide speed can I make that field...because VA has lots of mountains and it's IFR Long story short I made the field...but crashed into the house... FAA would classify the flight as improper flight planning. Here's what I learn, that I total forgot about when flying in cold weather...thank you FSX and OPUS!!! 1. Don't forget to turn the pitot heat on 2. Now your avionics...especially the nearest feature 3. Manifold pressure drop in cold is properly carb icing. if you have carb heat turn it on. 4. Understand if you're flying over hostile territory, risk goes up. The DA40 does not have carb heat...so I should have never attempted to flying in MOD ICE conditions. Even though it's fuel injected. Again thank you FSX, and OPUS for their weather engine...a life saver for sure repeated the flight in lancair legacy...same thing happened...however I'm better familiar with the Garmin 530...and since I knew what was going on...I descending and power came back and I landed at the nearest airport. repeated the flight again in the Cessna 172..success, but climbed to 12,000 to stay clear of any clouds. Happy Holidays!! -Ray

www.samsung.com/us/mobile/wearable-tech/SM-R320NPWSXAR Does anyone know if this would work for us, FSX? -Ray

Are you trying to run VOXPopServer first? If so...do not try and run it first. VOXPopServer no longer works as a stand alone EXE. If you enable VOXATC, within FSX, you will still get the VOXPop voices. Hope this helps. -Ray
