Glad to see you are having fun flying in NeoFly. Just glad to see all the options in MSFS ( as well as other sims ). There are a ton of options in MSFS if you enjoy trying different things. From mods, to liveries, bush missions ( both build in and community ones ), scenery, etc... I would like to see some type of career in MSFS, not sure how it would work? But let NeoFly, OnAIr, Air Hauler, SkyPark, etc... do their thing too, Free or Paid. Most important thing is you are having FUN!

Yeah, and by accident...wonder if they can fix this or want too? RAVss, Just lower the flaps takeoff and enjoy. Of course you have to create a flight plan which is super simple in DTG Flight school. On the flight plan page just type KTEX for starting airport and CO68 for the arrival airport into the search box and you have a plan, either CO68 to KTEX or KTEX to CO68. Also CO95 is right next to CO68 and is a little bigger landing strip. Enjoy...it's really fun, DTG Flight School. Although it struggles running on my laptop I was wrong about the elevated airports. They are in FSX elevated...my bad!

Well first off I hope people will add their Hamburger Run's here. Second when you start on the runway at KTEX you get the High Altitude Reward because the airport is above 8,000 feet. Didn't even know this was going to happen when I first started at KTEX. It's a nice little really quick $1.00 hamburger run (instead of $100.00 run), since it is so quick, and nice landing on the CO68 or CO95 airports or landing strips because they are also on an elevated plateau, which I don't think they are in FSX or FSX-SE. It's good scenery too and really quick if you have 10-15 minutes. List your Hamburger Run please! Still trying to get the white flashing to go away. Contacted DTG support again. How do I attach an image? Is it possible?

Where do you get the DLC for MS Flight such as the Alaska Pack and some of the planes like the Maule and such, since they closed the market place?

Has anyone seen this before? I was amazed, when I found this on YouTube! Was actually looking for HO scale train stuff! Cool the way it hook's up to the silver bars when it gets on the runway to make the plane takeoff! Totally cool to me!

It's been almost 2 years since I have installed the FSX SDK for creating missions. For some reason it is not working. I think part of it has to do with the path since I have a Windows 64 bit but I am also confused about the other items to be installed. I am reading the FS Developer wiki but it's not sinking in for seom reason. I have done this before and it took me awhile that time too. Any help appreciated. Do I have to install additional files from Microsoft? Here is the developer link I am reading but I am not understanding this go around about the other files to install! http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=SDK_Installation_(FSX) And here is the info for the path to the tool! <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>dll.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Object Placement Tool </Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Mission Creation Kit\Object_Placement.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> My FSX files are in \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Mission Creation Kit\Object_Placement.dll I have tried entering that path and nothing works. Any ideas? Shouldn't I see the Tools menu if it works correctly when I go to Free Flight?

Went over to my brother-in-law's house and tried to run MS Flight on his i5 laptop ( my laptop is an older dual core AMD and MS Flight runs fine on low, and some medium settings) and I was surprised it came up with a shader issue, which I didn't have a clue what that was, and would not run MS Flight. Since that time I bought a new simulation game and found "Can You Run It", before I purchased that program and it passed my system so I bought the game, and it worked fine. Haven't been back to my family members house but when I do I will run this again as it gives links to varouis sites to update drivers etc... I am guessing the links are the correct ones to fix his shader issue.My point is check your system with " Can You Run It", for MS Flight as it is one of the listed programs!

Awesome meshman!Thanks so much to everyone for their hard work helping out other MS Flight community members here.

Excellent work styckx! Sticky, Sticky, Sticky,....Please! I don't know how many times I have wished for something like this instead of having to hit the M key and cause Flight to reload to get back to where I was! And having either the color or black and white version. Nice work folks! Now styckx, did you have to bring up the Train Simulator :) I am afraid I will have to check this out too along with MS Flight, FSX, and now a possible train simulator. And excellent work on the liveries on the engines. I have been a N-Scale train person for years (smaller than HO guage)! Now more stuff to waste time....train simulator :)

I am saving for the Alaska Pack downloadable content (DLC) and hoping I get a rescue helicopter in the package or a great one like the Agusta Westland that I can purchase seperately both for a fair price. And I am going to sell the 2 Logitech Attack 3 joysticks I have and get the Logitech Pro 3D with the twist for rudder and helicopters. Already bought the Hawaiin Pack!Also if/when we get a pack that includes Colorado, Utah, etc....we can rescue skiers! Or the Swiss Alps :)What's your (imaginary) piggy bank for?

The Boeing Stearman is my favorite plane in MS Flight. I have never been a slow as you go flyer, always the jets, but I love this plane. This really is a neat idea I would really like it. Guess it's time to go and pretend I am crop dusting the fields. Wonder how low I can.....crash....get :) Please MS Flight team give us some crop dusting with cool effects!

So you have to have the Maule for these missions to show up randomly?

I have also had some issues with this and I am pretty much sure I am doing something simple wrong :) Although at this point I am not sure what that is! I'll figure it out eventually.About 3 or 4 days after the launch I went into a multiplayer room and saw text chatting and heard some voices (not sure how or why) and they were basicly doing really really simple ATC telling the planes when to line up at the runway and giving them permission to take off. I guess they were basicly being the ground controller. And thing of it is they actually seemed to be enjoying themselves. I guess any game, simulator, is what you make of it! Let your imagination wonder as long as your are being polite to others and enjoying yourself. After all it's up to you how you want to enjoy it!I mean it would be complicated probably but couldn't you assign call sign's and just make a list for the person controlling.For instance I could be:Gamertag Call SignLearjet777 N777MC (pronounced: November,7,7,7,Mike,Charlie)So I would have to write down my call sign only and the controller would have a list for everyones call sign! And something like (just know the basics):November 777 Mike Charlie taxi to runway 23L and hold short! I know this is not all correct but wouldn't it work if you put some effort into it! Just to enjoy doing something different in MS Flight!Hey I'll be there and try if anyone is interested! If it doesn't work out than no harm done!We would have to choose an airport and pick a time to meet up ahead of time! I would use an airport that comes with the basic download so anyone that wanted could join!Please don't slam me I am NOT a controller, but I play one on TV!

Can't wait to get Alaska! Wonder if we will be able to fly from Hawaii to Alaska in a Learjet....see my user name :) And the GA flying is going to be amazing!

I at least hope to get a Coast Guard Helicopter similiar to the ones in FSX, I think they are AugustaWestland EH101! Yeah after I posted I kind of figured that was not a good idea. And some rescue planes, and boats, and ......Right now I landed the Coast Guard Icon A5 right next to the Pearl Harbor Memorial, what a site. And I think I see an outline of the Arizona ship that sunk as well as oil spills from the oil that is continuing to rise from the Arizona.BTW, if you turn off the Icon A5 engine in the water and go get a cup of coffee ( depending on weather conditions) it may not be where you left it....I am just saying waves! And the waves look amazing and I can't use the maximum settings!I originally posted to say I was new to the forums also because of MS Flight!

I have never flown GA aircraft and enjoyed it as much as I have in MS Flight ( I also eventually really want jets, helicopters, operating jetways, etc...) I tried almost every mission and still fly them in other sims but never could make past some of them and still can't, but that's my lack of talent I am sure.Was not even liking the Icon A5 until I flew the rescue mission to get the kaiyak (sp?) person, and was hoping I would get the livery I wanted after doing so, the Icon A5 Coast Guard Rescue livery, and I did! I know it sounds stupid but I was actually excited over the Coast Guard livery that would now make me want to fly the Icon A5 aircraft : ( I guess I'm easy to please!Come on Alaska!!!!!!!Think I can fly the Icon A5 Coast Guard Rescue in the Alaska scenery. I think so.....1.2 million square miles to rescue people : )

Any idea why I can't control tail dragger ground steering the Boeing Stearman with my Logitech Attack 3 joystick which works fine in FSX. If I can't get it to work will the Logitech Extreme™ 3D Pro be enough for most aircraft in MS Flight general aviation, helicopters, and jets? What does the twist help with in helicopters as I fly them in other sims also? http://www.logitech.com/en-us/gaming/joysticks/devices/291By the way Flight seems to be bringing new members like me to these forums even if we have been flying in other sims or are brand new : )When you post can you please leave links to your hardware add ons so we can all check them out! For those of us looking to possibly upgrade.Thanks!

What type of device are you using to control MS Flight? Are you new and using the keyboard only, using a console controller, basic joystick (that's me), and if you have the more advanced hardware Siatek and others, or yokes and foot pedals does Flight work with the advanced items such as foot pedals from manufacturers and if so how realistic is it.I am really, really enjoying MS Flight and looking forward to Alaska and the future.I have the low end joystick and can't steer the planes making me crash sometimes on landings or takeoffs, mostly landing going off the runway : )I might have to upgrade to at least a joystick with Twist is what I was told for Alaska and hopefully helicopters!Thanks!

So I can't turn the Boeing Stearman ( my favorite Flight plane) with my Attack 3 joystick. It works fine in other simulators and have been using it for years to fly tail draggers , trike gear, and even helicopters with it. I know I am cheap about the joystick. Someone on MS Flight in a chat said I had to get the joystick with the twist. I prefer to spend the money on DLC for now (bought the Hawaain Pack) and I am sure I am going to get Alaska if the Price Is Right (game show) :)How come I can't bind the controls in the settings. When I try too it wants to take away the ailerons control and I need both to occur. I know it might not be realistic to have the joystick control both but I would just like it to work for now and maybe in the future get a better joystick especially if they start adding helicopters ( which I am sure they are because it coming up on the screen when loading flights in Flight you need a chopper to get some aerocaches).Thanks for your help in advance, and as you can see I like many others I would assume signing up as new members are doing so to be part of the MS Flight (as well as the other sims), but mainly get in on the ground floor of the MS Flight community.It's been fun reading all the post of people enjoying Flight. And the graphics are awesome and I can only use the Low settings for the most part. Wonder if Microsoft will tweat some of these types of things (making it easier to use low end joysticks)? Since they want all kinds of users they will probably go from a keyboard, or console controller, to an inexpensive joystick and then up from there depending on if they get hooked and also move over to other sims along with using Flight!Thanks!
