    Thanks for the advice. How do I not run it as admin? I'm not running through Steam.

    There are no problems with my cards...in fact I've tried two different ones. I've also tried:

    1. Running through Xbox app

    2. Being logged into Microsoft Store with the webpage open and running in background.
    3. Adding and removing payment methods.
    4. My PC's region is set to UK, as are my cards, registered address etc.

    I really feel I'm going to miss out on so much content as this just doesn't work (and Zendesk are not providing any support).

    I have also tried about everything that everyone has mentioned and still cant purchase anything on the marketplace. It worries me that more addons are going to be coming out and exclusive to the marketplace only. Which is quite a problem if I cant get this sorted out.

    Hello everyone, I have my PPL and currently training for my CPL/ATPL. I agree with everything you guys have said. The factors that stand out the most for me is human performance and physical factors. Most of these were pointed out but for example flying a C172 while you are parallel to the runway and beginning to flare there is a point while you are holding the yoke back with some back pressure and you begin to feel the aircraft to "fall" so you put a tad bit more of back pressure really trying to grease the landing. You won't feel that in any flight sim unless it's a professional sim on hydraulics which airlines use and companies that offer type ratings. Same idea when practicing stalls you can literally feel the aircraft stop flying its an incredible feeling. Basically all seat of the pants flying you won't get in the sim.

    Human performance is another huge factor in real flying compared to sim flying. In real life there is just so much more going on. Comms,traffic,birds, obstacles, etc... I know some of these things are in sims but it's just not the same. Another human performance factor that stands out is how you react to meteorological conditions. Winds, thermals, turbulence, etc in real life these really have an effect on you that in a sim you won't experience. Try navigating  with your VFR charts out, writing down times, constantly verifying your position, checking engine parameters, tanks, fuel consumption, etc with turbulence, variable winds or strong thermals rocking you side to side or up and down. Trust me it affects your performance whether you like it or not( obviously with more experience you get use to it) especially for us pilots that may get nausea easier than others. 

    I have to say though flight simming is terrific for studying instruments, procedures, failures, and even a general feeling of how aircraft behave. There are some great addons out there! I do agree that once you have flown in real life at the command of an aircraft it enhances your flight simming and vice versa as well.

    Woah.  The second one looks real!  I like the night shots with the lights on the nacelle.

    Thanks! Yeah those are my favorite shots too. Really enjoying P3D v4 at the moment. Dynamic lighting is nice but its too bad it is such a performance killer but it is tolerable with MSAA 4x or 8x.(Obviously could be way better though)

    I am using the latest experimental version of ChasePlane and did a 3 hour flight tonight, and throughout the flight it has disconnected from P3D about 5 or 6 times. I have to constantly exit chaseplane and reload it back up to let it reconnect to the sim. What seems to be the problem with this?

    Also having issues with it saving my camera settings for like global, mouse, keyboard etc. Doesn't seem to save those settings. It only saves some of the time and not all the time like it should.

    That was happening to me yesterday flying with the PMDG 777. Chaseplane disconnected at least three times during the flight. Im about to do another flight see if the issue still comes up.

    Nice flight in P3d v4 with the PMDG 777-200LR from flightbeams KMSP to KSFO. Active sky 2016 beta for P3D v4 working its magic.

    FTX global PTA and ENVTEX also were used.

    Enjoy!
