Can an admin or mod maybe explain why the post I started in Hangar Chat 09/19/2015 has not been listed? Just wonder if I broke a specific rule on hear,tho I am at a loss as to which one. Speculative maybe but would be nice to have a discussion about it. Many thanks. Gary

http://nexgenflightsim.com/wordpress/ I know,maybe the mods won't like me posting a link,however I presume most of you on here have seen this. Q1 Any thoughts? Q2: Is it for real? Q3:Should we at least be cautiously optimistic? Please don't shoot me if you have seen this,I am after all, only the messenger...lol All the best. Gary

In reality they are both the same device,software,game call it what you will.However some are of the illusion that P3D and it's non entertainment licence gives it more kudos and are, well, living in fantasy land.I have seen one reply recently telling a poster to go "play" with his FSX and leave the serious stuff like P3D to the pros' codswallop.They are the same thing and outwith the obvious improvements in graphics etc then there is really no big difference.Those who think like this are really suffering from "emperors new clothes" syndrome.I feel the licensing issue was purely what was on offer to Lockheed at the time,I mean were Microsoft ever going to allow another company to piggyback their product at the time when FSX was still being developed? So train all you like in P3D,FSX,or FSX steam it's all the same.Also play all you like in any of the aforementioned, it is ALL the same.One caveat if you use P3D don't own up to enjoying/Playing it or you might lose some credibility.

Thanks for the help fellas sorry but I've been away lately not had time to say cheers for the help. Gary

Hi guys,many many thanks for your replies and ideas,however I deleted all my FSX folders about a month ago and cleaned out the reg and any old files relating to it. When I try to install,the installer insists on an FSX folder.If I choose the browse option and change to C:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3d v2.4 it starts to do it's thing then stops abruptly and says "cannot locate an instance of FSX" then simply ends. Now I usually have no probs installing older stuff into ver.2.4 but this one has me stumped. Thanks again for the Ideas though. Gary

Hi Guys/Girls, Not feeling lazy and believe me I have tried other sites including Aerosoft,but without search function working in here.Has anyone managed to instal Aerosoft Gibraltar into P3D ver 2.4?. I have their Madeira airport .that now has a p3d installer but Gib doesn't. I currently only have P3D installed on my PC but have seen screenies of Gib running in the Sim but I can't figure how it is done. It would be great if anyone has a solution. Cheers. Gary

Good info, though it is a shame LM can't get their act together and do a simple procedure like a patch update without causing so many issues.it seems they don't have the ability like other companies do. Its a bit late for me now as I just followed advice from one of LMs admins and was not told to do any of the above. It seems LM are incapable of learning from past updates where similar issues arose. Oh well here's hoping the whole thing aint completely screwed and I have to start from scratch. Very poor service.

Superb stuff,hits the spot on so many levels.You sir are an obvious genius and I commend this post..a copy of which should be forwarded henceforth to all the payware vendors out there.some of whom think we should bow and grovel and accept issues with their software and don't you dare complain or we will ban you.We made it we sell it suck it up or leave kinda guys take heed. Brilliant. Gary

Hey mate I really think you have misunderstood me, I genuinely have no clue to what other sim you are refferring. I see by your tone that you think I am trying to start some sort of argument,absolutely not my intent.So lets leave it and I will search the web and maybe find an answer there. Cheers. Gary. Thanks for the clarification Mike. Just on another Forum a couple weeks ago someone mentioned another Sim is in development and He was not referring to X-plane. As for X-plane being in development thats' been out for ages now...I clearly misunderstood Him. Chill guys.

Hi there so looking forward to this,however that last part of your statement referring to the "other" sim in development has me intrigued,can you disclose to what you are referring? Many thanks. Gary

Just sometimes to make a quick decision it makes it easier. Especially someone like me who normally flIes GA. Currently trying to learn the heavies. Ah well cheers for the quick replies Guys. Gary

Hi all.I have searched high and low for the answer to this,so here goes. Can you enable tool tips on the NGX I have it checked in FSX it works on every other plane but refuses to on this. Have tried the manual ,read various other forums,google searched to no avail..lol Do any of you have it working or am I just wasting my time? Nany thanks. Gary Cummings
