One of the best. No need to hesitate on buying any of their planes.

I love the TBM but not a fan of the G1000 in the sims. Much prefer the Collins in the PC12.

I finally was able to setup beta and reverse! I guess it was there all the time but it was just not setup right. Just reset and mapped my bravo quadrant from scratch - not fun- but it worked. Now I get normal throttle action for power, beta and reverse. Well all except now my POV hat switch doesn't work at all lol. Using the Asobo interface to program controls is the most abusive and un-intuitive setup I have ever experienced. Any tips to get my POV working again are welcome...

I’ll have to look into it. I’ve tried a few times on my Bravo. I guess I’m doing something wrong. Maybe SWS need to have clear instructions on setting up the throttles, as other venders have done. But- I have to say the plane is great to fly since day one - even with a few issues.

No PIC time on a PT6 turbine, no, just going by the other highly regarded models in XP11, that I’ve been flying for a few years now, TBM850, Kodiak, King Air 350, and MU-2. So as far as the lag feeling extreme, I can’t say how real it is, but beta and reverse don’t seem to exist at all. I haven’t flown the SWS Kodiak in a long time but I thought reverse works on that. Maybe it’s Asobo’s problem? I know there are still quite a few of them.

I can live with waiting on fine tuning the handling, as I have no problems with controlling it at all. What I really dislike is the engine characteristics. In comparison to the turboprops in XP12, (which are perfectly modeled), the black square king air comes the closest. I haven’t flown the piper M500 which I hear is very good. Without accurate throttle response, beta and reverse, it just breaks the immersion- but other than that, an excellent plane.

I'm having a serious problem with installing FS-X on my Win 8.1 system. It had been working fine for many months but I had to refresh my OS because of another issue and FS-X said it was missing files. So I am trying to re-install it from the disks but it at the end of disk 2, it give me an error that I can not solve. First I get a system error 1722 and then 1605 saying the install shield has had a problem and has stopped working or something similar. It's very frustrating to say the least! Any help welcome.

Anyone have a solution for flying with another sim online? I guess game spy is no longer available. Thanks.

finally got everything working great. thanks for the support - now I just have to find a way to do multiplayer with this jet. I want to fly with my son on two sims over the internet. Is this possible with game spy out of the game? What are people using? Thanks

I went to Flight1.com but didn't see any way to download the files again. I have three files in my folder with the setup file: Proof of purchase, F15E.lic "my name"-mvisf-15e.key What should I do?

Do I re-download it from Flight1 or Milviz website?

I reinstalled the F15E from the Milviz folder. Same problem. Is there something else I can check? Thanks.

I'll give it a try and let you know. Thanks.

1. Installed FSX Gold yesterday before the F15E and all other aircraft work fine so far. 2. No antivirus software that I know of, unless Windows XP has it built in somewhere? Every weapon I tried loaded, AA missiles, sniper pod, lantrin etc. Thanks.

Yes I can load weapons, I just tried it. But the mouse clicks are ignored. How can I check the security issue? I purchased it from Flight1.com and it worked on my laptop albeit slow performance, (where I first installed it). Thanks.

Going with a cheaper card for flight sim is fine, but is that the only game or sim you use? I would bet any new software being released will make good use of the GPU. I would always go for a high end card, usually just below the top where the first price jump is IMO

Wow, that's a lot of trouble to go through for a game or hobby. IMO. I'm a pilot and i certainly love Flight Sims and go back and forth between X-Plane on a mac and FSX in Windows. I guess I've been lucky, other than the post I made earlier about one new model I just installed. I admire your dedication.

I just installed the Milviz F15E yesterday and am having a problem. It loads OK and other planes fly and behave well. I purchased it right before Christmas so I think it's the latest version. When I tried to fly the Eagle only a few of the cockpit switches functioned. I've flown it before on another computer before moving it to this one and it worked fine. I used to start the engines by using all the proper switches, JFS, throttle locks etc. and it worked great. But yesterday only one switch would function. Control E would get the engines starting but wouldn't run. Anyone experience this? Thanks.
