Hi I haven't used my FSX (Accelerated) for a couple of years. Tried to get back and find that my trim wheel works OK, my throttle (black knob) works OK. But no flaps Blue knox) and no mixture (red). They all used to work. When I go into settings control and try to re-assign flaps and mixture, I highlight the item but moving the levers blue or red, nothing happens. My trim wheel works perfectly..

After working perefectly for a couple of years, the Golden Gate Bridge has disappeared. Road traffic continues to run (in the air or so it seems.) Then I tried the default scenery RIO. Everything is nice, but the cannot-be-missed-if-it's-there statue of Christ the Redeemer just is not there. Then I noticed that, even though quite a bit of scenery was added, if I try Free Flight and select Add-on Scenery, there's nothing in the list. I need to fly on default scenery (even though I spent quite a bit of $$$ on scenery add-ons.

I have recorded a few flights (Cessna 172) flying around Ottawa and other North American Cities. My FSX is Gold Acceleration and I have installed GEX North America. When I play back the flight records, my Artificial Horizon and my turn/bank indicator do NOT move (even though they were moving properly during the flight itself.) I have unchecked the box for Lights operated manually by pilot, hoping the lights would come on on night flights. But, no, I have to turn the yoke almost to get my mouse to click on the aircraft lights. Is there a setting I could configure in a .cfg file since the GUI won't do it? Thanks

And I have just (a few days ago) purchased MSFX Gold and the Saitek yoke, throttle, trim wheel and rudder pedals. I only have some 10 hours on it. :-( or :-) :wub:

Thanks Andy. I've just registered there. I'm very new to all this and I'll try to read all I can before I start asking questions which probably, have already been answered elsewhere or at another time. Cheers

I have FSX and yesterday received the GENX DVD for North America. Installed OK. Updated to latest version (1.095 if memory serves) then I flew a flight that I fly often enough (almost 10 hours for the 10' flight from CYRP to CYRO For this route I fly over the city of Ottawa (Ontario, Canada) but the only difference I noted in the scenery was that there were more trees and better defined vegetation. No recognizable City view. Did I just throw some good money away? I also received but have not installed yet, the Africa & Middle East GEN X but have not installed it yet. I want to fly around the Pyramids and hope that GEN X can show me better details of the area (and Cairo, a city I know well.) Is it just the vegetation that gets clearer with those installations? I haven't tried the light of Vegas yet. Cheers
