Checking route on Dash8 PFD
Absolutely. Below the FMS you'll see a button that says "Format". Press this once and it will change the nav display to a zoomed out format and allow you to step through it by clicking through each waypoint in the FPL pages of the FMS. Just press the format button again to change it back to the standard nav display.

Aurigny Air Services Embraer 195 Help
Hi all, I've spent a fair amount of time looking for an Aurigny Air Services repaint for the FeelThere Embraer 190(195) and cannot find one. I do a fair amount of island hopping in and around the Channel and this would really be the icing on the cake if I were to find one! Any directions will be appreciated! Many thanks. B)

Default TNCM Problem
It turns out that this can be repeated with others' default 2.4 installs, so it is not an issue on my part which is a relief. I think a visit to FlyTampa's abode may be necessary.

Default TNCM Problem
Thank you for your advice Jim. Unfortunately, I'm not able to actually find any ORBX entries referring to TNCM in the directory. I'm beginning to wonder whether this is an issue with something other than the ORBX entries. How frustrating indeed.

Default TNCM Problem
Hi all, I fired up P3D tonight to have a go at some circuits around St Maarten and found that the ground texture seems to be bleeding through the taxiway texture. I have tried the scenery library and changing settings to no avail. I have no addon scenery installed in this region, with the exception of FTX Global. See here: Since the search bar seems to have disappeared temporarily (one hopes), I was unable to see if this had been posted before. Regards to all.

Really nice colours in those. The fields look great!

Water Lost Its Color
Are you using REX? REX has a feature that allows the user to change the colour of inland and offshore waters; and by default the inland water colour is a manky brown shade.

Piper Archer ll
I hope that I don't come over the wrong way when I say that, rather than worrying about apparent missing manuals (I have not purchased the Archer, so I take your word for it), that you use the materials, i.e. checklists, flight parameters etc, that you will be given when you start your training. I am currently flying the Warrior III for real at the moment and generally use my checklists for the A2A Cherokee since it much the same procedure and helps me to memorise my checklists. As for you navigation, I would, to some extent, avoid any FSX-based (or similar) tutorials and use the advice/teachings of your instructor(s) and the study books that you will undoubtedly purchase for your course. As Eugene and TJ mentioned, bad habits can be picked up that can either be down-right wrong or sometimes dangerous in real-life practice. Again, on the same note as above, in the sim one tends to keep their heads in the cockpit since there is no real need for traffic deconfliction or "seat of your pants" feel for the aircraft, when turning for example. When you jump into the real thing you will have your eyes out of the cockpit "like a s***house rat" as my instructor likes to bluntly put it, so try to get some practice flying with the horizon and keeping your head away from the dials except for regular sweeping checks (you'll learn all this in due course). Flying for real was the single best decision I have made so far in life; I wish you all the best, it'll be a blast! B)

This journey was brilliant, I may have to have a jolly up that valley sometime soon!

PMDG 737 for P3D
- ORBX's forum down?
It's back alive and kicking chaps. At least in the UK.- Steampowered fsx ?
Uh-oh, the boat has been rocked!- Aircraft occasionally jumps around, randomly, while flying
Your issue sounds awfully like the common issue of FSX's wind injection. Rather than gradually introduce, let's say a headwind of 20kts, FSX will immediately inject it causing your aircraft to have a wobbly and yourself a heart attack as you're sent careering into the ground! As Bert mentioned above, it would be worth you investing in a weather program that features weather smoothing. REX, OPUS and ActiveSky all spring to mind; have a nose around the forums and see which one you might prefer; opinions vary. - ORBX's forum down?
