How do you turn on/off the start positions on the map????

Bert Pieke Thanx for your quick response. Will do what you suggest, not sure if I tried that combination before.

New purchase about a weel ago. Kinda figured out most systems. What I havent figured out was how to hook with an ILS. First, I know I have the freqs correct. Now, whats the procedure to get the system to recognize the ILS & then hook up to the glidescope.

I have un-installed & reinstalled program. Used to always have gate info on the map. All of a sudden they disappeared into electronic heaven. I have tried everything to resurect same. Cannot get them to display. Anyone have further suggestions. Thanx in advance. Pete

OK, willdo. Thank You

Key request sent 5/4, resent 5/6 because I thought that I may have sent the improper info. No response.

Thanx Ray.

I have a new PC which I am trying to install RC. I have the original disk purchased from RC when it first came out, many years ago. In any case, I loaded that disk, which is for version 4.0, I also have the 4.3 version upgrade on a disk that I saved. When I run the install file I get a message that files are corrupted. Is there someway I can download the proper files to be able to install RC on my new PC. I purchased this so long ago that I no longer have the info about that purchase. Any help or suggestions would really be appreciated. Thanx in advance Pete

Ok, here's the latest. After loadding the latest FSUIPC I went and loaded P3D V2.5 to make sure that all was working correctly including sounds & it was. Then I brought up both v2.5 & v3 .CFG files and made sure that the sound entries were the same. Then I tested v3 with FSUIPC unloaded & all the sounds worked. Then I loaded v3 with FSUIPC loaded & again all the sounds were working, so it seems that the problem was taken care. Next is to load add-ons, REX for weather & RadarContact for ATC & make sure that the sounds are working ok. I will let you know if it craps out again but I have a feeling it should work all right. Key, I think, was that all [sOUND] statements that were working in v2.5 were the same in v3. Mayb there is a lesson in there some place. Thanx again for the responses. Regards. /Pete

It also worked without problems in both 2.4 & 2.5

I have an Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme sound card with all the latest drivers. Also, have V2.5 in which there is no sound problems. I check both versions .CFG files abd the lines in the [sound] are exactly the same. What happens in V3: No sound with the stock ATC, just text messages to the ATC window, Now, if I add RadarContact & make an ATC call, the call starts but then fade away. Text does appear in the RC window. Yes, I have the layest version of FSUIPC.

I was able, through JV at Orbx to resolve the problem & I thank him again.

Thanx louisdecoolste

For all the people making suggestions about procedures within the Orbx forum, I have followed to the letter all of their procs, without success. I have not been able to get any help from either FSS or Orbx, especially Orbx. There is no proc to bring this type of problem to Orbx's attention. A problem is only acted upon within the Orbx forum. The problem being that if you don't have access to the forum nothing can be done. Orbx is the first company that I have dealt with that doesn't have some mechanism that allows you to resolve this type of issue. Let me be clear, I have no problem with the software & I am presently using the same in P3D. All I would like is to be able to access the to stay abreast of updates & user suggetions, which is impossible because I can't access their info sources.

Sounds like FSPickerman & I have exactly the same problem. Sorry for this rather late reply but with summer activities in full swing, I have an old car that I take to shows in the nice weather, so I haven't been able to pay as much attention to flightsim as I would like. I too, have tried the FlightSimStore route & also followed to the letter the validation routine. Nothing but canned responses from ORBX and no way to explain or alleviate the problem with them. I have been trying to solve this since I purchased ORBX products at the end of February this year with no luck.
