Do people seriously use native ATC anymore with BATC being available for only $30 ??? I have never used native ATC from MSFS worst ATC ever I'd rather fly in silence LOL

i have this version V3.1.0.4 Adds support for iFly737MAX in MSFS (still in Beta) says supports ifly max when i run MCE just keeps on telling me to "restart the flight not simulation and restart MCE" doing it does nothing .. i do not know is this for MSFE version or what I have MSFS it doesn't work just following instructions says the same thing

I said before and i say it again I will pay you the lousy 30 euro or whatever the difference is because your updating of MSFS version is horrendous ! I have no idea where the updates are, where to get them from all i see is updates for Ultimate version, since i have no intention of ever using it with any other sim i lets call it a donation as your program over all is OK and your updating to new aircraft is great.. only if I had an ultimate version because as i said for MSFS version I do not see any updates anywhere including on sim market where I bough it originally ! My current version is I think 3104 there is mention of 3110 and 3106 whatever would be great for you to provide some place where we can download updates and clearly state where and for what version

ok i have 2 EPKK by Drzewiecki and CYYZ Fly Tampa, these two do not work for me if I use Addon linker for them, but work fine if I put it in a comm. folder normally

Add-on Linker, linked add-ons seem not work well in FS2024. When I place the add-on folder (scenery/airport add-on) for example in 2024 community folder it seems to work fine in 2024, however when using Add-on Linker which places a symbolic link in community folder some add-ons seem not to work Just wondering if anyone else experienced it and what the cause might be ? Thanks

This works well.. I was wondering if there is any chance to introduce PTT for MCE FO, I know there is a way to "turn off speech" which I use now.. sometimes I have some voices (GSX etc..) coming out of speakers not headphones and MCE picks it up and thinks I am talking to him (annoying) so "turn off speech" works OK, but PTT for MCE would be so much better as it only takes ONE PTT say your command.. vs 'unMute" say command "Mute" and hope he doesn't pick up something in mean while...

yes would be great to get support for ATR for MSFS

ASOBO ATR 42/72 ?

Well just for the sake of conversation I did another install and now Siatek never has disconnected didn't even use these drivers from MadCatz, but now my monitors are being stupid, rather P3D is being difficult, despite setting for Full Screen resolutions it decides to change them to whatever it want's to, LOL so after going to Full Screen in the sim I have to go to windows resolution setup and change them back to what they suppose to be then they stay like they suppose to. :rolleyes: Oh well little annoying but I can live with that. Despite the little nuisance I do have to say that with w10 this thing has never been so smooth with all I throw at it. Here's one happy camper Andy

Got It ! You very well might be correct ! I will do some more testing but so far so good Made a whole circle flight good 25 minutes and nothing disconnected on me :smile: Second chance for win10 LOL truly amazed by how smooth it is. Thanks Andy

hmm ok, thanks, my yoke does not have a trim wheel though, but on a good note last time when it disconnected or whatever it does to render it useless I paused the sim unplugged it and plugged it back in to USB and it work again didn't disconnect after for the next little while till I shot down p3d.. so there is hope. sometimes p3d will crash when i unplug it while playing pause seemed to work, so maybe it is some w10+p3d+siatek combo problem hope it will work out cause i just made a new install of win7+p3d and compared to new install of win10+p3d i have to admit that w10+p3d is so smooth and i think i got everything maxed out it's just jaw dropping :o , same video drivers fresh install yup win10 wins just if these bugs could be sorted out Andy

so I just recently got w10 to check it out with P3D and I am having problem with Sitek Pro Flight Yoke. after some time (depends) 5-10 min yoke is no longer responsive, rudders that are hooked to it they work just fine I have disabled all power saving non-sense that I could find regarding USB devices including in device manager didn't help nothing When I start windows seems majority of my devices connected to USB hub and ports seem to be OFF (hub lights go off same with Sitek Yoke), even though ALL power saving features are DISABLED.. anything I could think of in power managment, in device manager for each and every HID device as well as all USB controllers... w10 seems to ignore it totally LOL they do wake up as soon as I start the sim and they do not shut down.. including the yoke it does not seem to disconnect the green screen with clock or whatever it is, it is always on, just it does not do anything also to mention I do have a lot of usb devices there are 10 usb devices that are modules for my cockpit 1 throttle quadrant others: webcam, headphones ,logitech unifying receiver, some are connected to a hub obviously, anyhow the yoke seems to be the only one that craps out on me :( I think drivers are new for it, device manager what it says: Mad Catz 9/23/2015 7.0.44.1 rudder pedals use default whatever windows installed Saitek 2/15/2008 6.2.2.0 maybe someone who uses sitek pro flight yoke with pedals could share what it says for their driver version This problem is only with w10, I have never even bothered installing any drivers with win7 never had any problems so defiantly not P3D fault idk :( Any help greatly appriciated Andy

Having a new set up with w10 and some problems with multi monitors, I posted couple pictures so you can better understand, easier then explaining LOL I know it is very unusual set up but maybe some fellow cockpit builder stumbles on it and had a problem like that and maybe solved it. This is how my monitors are connected, as soon as I connect the 8th monitor, 2 of the 4 connected to 970 card will turn off and they are no longer listed there is basically no way to enable them back, except reboot computer. when I start computer again all 8 work for about 5 minutes or so then 2 of the 4 connected to 970 will shut down :( I heard people were heaving some problems overall with w10 and multi monitors so.. idk worth a shot asking IT WORKS FINE IN W7, THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS!!! The 3 "Ancor Comm" are actually Nvidia surround as shown below. Display #3 Thanks for any tips tried the newest driver for nvidia same thing, but again it all works good in windows 7 even with older drivers Andy

Well I tried it and it didn't work quite as expected LOL, they basically forgot about me, :mad: but I was on the correct approach for this runway using STAR they gave me, I am thinking that next time I just let them vector me then I simply ignore them fly my approach and i think they will get it once where I am makes sense to them. Still don't get me wrong I love the program for the features it has and I am not all that keen on super realistic... I want super realistic gotta become pilot myself LOL Talking about realistic anyone knows... when a pilot is given STAR does ATC actually vector him if all is normal.. tell him to descent/climb etc...? I don't think so...I guess they just follow him and hand him over to Tower (another controller) then he finally gets clearance to land... now we assume everything is NORMAL.. so i think he just follows STAR on his own minding any altitude/speed restrictions etc.. anyways hopping for some update soon to get the FO working with p3d v3, and whatever other shortcomings it might have, I am fairly new to it so still very happy camper, also it would be nice to implement ground telling me or other aircraft HOLD Position when taxing I ran into few instances where AI decided to keep on going and whacked me with his wing LOL, but oh well whatever I disabled this type of crash with other aircraft, for the most part they all doing pretty good job. Lots of AI around me when taking off and landing as well as in flight and next to now FPS impact compared with using MT6 which loads 100's of them in places i will never see them anyways so unless playing "AI watcher" Vox hands down is better by loading what it seems only relevant AI. i do use MT6 models but not the traffic too hard on FPS. Anyways thanks again for your suggestion.. will go from there. Andy

"No vectors on approach " Got it! Thanks guys ! Andy

Definitely using STAR next time and ignoring the ATC. Forward to 3 min 40 seconds not good job by ATC, saved by the pilot LOL Landing ended up being VFR I am not best pilot didn't know the ILS for Rwy 26 LOL, will try again next time well prepared and using STAR only ignoring ATC completely until established on STAR but still whats up with VOX? they gave me STAR TULSI3A if I recall well before I input it in my FMC here he comes starts vectoring me.. WTH ?? well ok i go with him why not lets see.. and the result is seen at 3min40sec of video.. did I do something wrong? or did VOX just decided to be funny..? LOL https://youtu.be/tEFijKUDRrQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEFijKUDRrQ

I am using 980Ti and 970 with multi monitors and 359 drivers all is working fine. I do not use GeForceExperiance since its shadowplay for recording doesn't work for me with NVSurrond enabled. I did do a clean install using some software to even remove all traces of old drivers from guru3d and tried installing with gforce hoping it will record but no luck just ended up recording black screens of whatever it recorded LOL so i uninstalled it. Too bad as on single monitors or not surround it does great job as recording software :( but for now a no go for me. Andy

I really don't think that it's possible unless the other software supports full screen as well (which i don't think anything does really). Back when I was using FSX on my home cockpit setup and wanted to use FSCommander for example I had it installed on another PC and used WideFS for it. I have moved to P3D since version 2.5 now using v3 and never looked back to FSX. P3D of course does not have "TRUE FULLSCREEN" and it has better support for running multi monitors then FSX The only other way to go is to find something that will allow programn "FSX in this case" to run in window mode but without the borders I think there are some available but honestly don't know its been long time... however if that was a route you wanted to take might as well switch to P3D as it does that natively. Andy PS: FS9 is the last version that I recall had an addon moving map supporting full screen called if i recall FS-Navigator after that it was the end.

No, OVH is actually from ProSimParts... IMO not as good quality as OC as far as the feel of plastic etc.. but ProSimParts was half the price and it came with all the hardware included switches knobs etc.. I don't regret going with ProSim on this one, but if money is not an issue then I would defiantly recommend opencockpits. OC they also have one P&P for a hefty fee LOL .. also from ProSim it is not Plug&Play I had to wire all the stuff myself LOL you just get the plastic panels and switches, the rest is up to you. Throttle is from JetMax (budget division of Flight Deck Solutions LOL), personally I am very happy with it, its not motorized or anything but looks, feels and works very good. No elevator trim on it, I might add one maybe.. nah... idk It is however all run by OpenCockpits IO cards. PS Just looked at prices as i bought mine long long time ago.. if you did want to buy it and build it the OVH I mean.. definitely go with OpenCockpits it's basically 300 Euros more for the whole set all you will need + IOCards 500 the panel 300 hardware and 120 for indicator boxed i recall i actually had to buy indicator boxed from OC, prosim did not come with any. But again it all depends on what 300 euros is to a person at the time i was building It was a lot.. still is LOL but if i was to do it again i'd go with OC!

Correct that is exactly what I am doing. Just undock and move then save the flight (situation/scenario) so next time I start it they will be in their correct positions. Once the flight has loaded I then move the aircraft to the airport I want to start from... Never though of it but I think I can just choose the airplane that I had once used and had set up a flight as explained above, say I saved flight with PMDG737westjet then anytime from opening screen I choose the PMDG737westjet and choose airport etc.. I think it will remember and open with the gauges as I last had them... I gotta try it LOL.. will try it later but anyways I always just loaded some saved flight with the aircraft I use let say this PMDG737westjet then i just it to departure airport. It only works in P3D, FSX was complicated and broken just a general pain in the rear to save position of gauges, P3D they fixed it!

not really i used to have 4 hooked to 780Ti and I was happy 3 of them in surround, then i went to 970 currently I am using 980Ti and 970 that is for 8 monitors 3 of which are in NVSurrond PS I dont think you can run Nvidia surround though if you have two 780 and each monitor is hooked to its own card incase that is what you wanted, you then might want to go SLI and then hook up monitors to #1 card. anyways I don't really think you get any benefit out of hooking up each monitor to separate card. and if you have 2 the same then go SLI, but then again benefit will be not all that much when it comes to P3D is what I am using. I actually had two 970 SLI and because I couldn't connect enough monitors (i need 8) I switched to running 2 970 non-SLI and really the performance did not change when it came to my main view (the one that needs most processing power) but anyways bottom line IMO i do not see any benefit by hooking each monitor to a separate GPU, if you have 2 then SLI them, that's all

yes, you can use any output combination you want.

old topic but yes, home build OVH forward using Opencockpit IO cards, as in mastercards and display and servo cards etc.. the actual panels/switches are not from opencockpits I found some retailer that sold it for less all though IMO not the same quality as OC (lesser quality) but still very nice and at half the price of OC took a while to wire all the stuff LOL but end result was very nice IMO and yes it all works with PMDG 737 NGX

Full MIP, only one EFIS though the FO is a fake LOL, but when i finish my Fire Control Panel I am thinking of making the second EFIS myself so it actually works like a real one. Will take some work running Encoder through center of Rotary switch LOL, worth a try.
