  1. Hi Matt, no idea how to display simrate unless it is built into the aircraft like PMDG does. But to go back to 1x there is a simple trick: Press your „reduce sim rate“ key a couple of times to go to 0.25x, and then click „increase“ simrate twice. Voilà!
  2. I can confirm that it is a bug that has meanwhile been logged by a number of people, including by me :)
  3. Haha, my feelings exactly 🙂 Add to it that I seem to be trapped in a time loop making me restart at 1. more or less every evening again.
  4. >> For the Steam version here is the path: Wow, life saver. Thanks!
  5. Custom cameras are easy to back up. But how to backup our personalized controller configs?
  6. To close the ATC window you need to bind a key to "Open communication panel" which unlike the wording is actually a toggle.
  7. No, there are 10 custom cameras, but there are no key combos pre-assigned for saving and calling up cameras above 4. You need to assign your own in the Controls menu.
  8. 10% after 90 minutes, this is painful indeed 🙂
  9. I experience the same behaviour. I have mapped the parking brake toggle to a key-combination on my MS Sidewinder joystick - and, exactly as you say, need to release it twice. At the first occurances I thought that maybe I had initially pressed the key too lightly, but that is obviously not the case - I can repro the problem with each flight and on each aircraft.

  11. Add me in. Microsoft Sidewinder on Prepar3D Happens /almost/ on any flight, usually about 20-30 minutes into the flight. Found no way so far to bring it back, no un- and replugging, no exiting to task manager, no using FSUIPC, no saving and resetting flight.. Need to close and restart P3D. This basically makes the sim unusable for me. George
  12. Hallo Stephan, I confirm and share both the problem and the frustration. My system is more or less like yours (one SSD with WIn8 64), another just for Prepar3D with OpusFSX, registered FSUIPC, REX, UTX. I'm mostly flying the NGX on medium to short flights, and as a rule my MS Sidewinder disconnects after a while into most flights. There have been a couple flights so far where it did not, but there is no consistency. Same route, same aircraft, same flight time.. and yet on the next flight it disconnects again. I have not yet found a way to get P3D to recognise it again after that point. Need to close P3D and restart which obviously kills the pleasure of using the sim altogether. I have made sure I use the latest drivers, have run P3D in different compatibility modes, have tried switching between USB 2 and USB 3 connectors, unplugged an replugged the joystick, uninstalled FSUIPC.. nada. It would be a major pain indeed to reformat and install Win7, and then set up the whole system from ground up again, but I'm getting closer.. Wonder how many more are having the same issue and if anybody at all found a consistent solution so far. George
