Pandanator 2

My MS flight days feel so ancient now! Hard to believe it was only a few months ago I was still playing religiously.... Haven't launched since the shutdown date though...

But this sounds like great news! I hope good comes out of it. I also heard of the news that FSX was coming to Steam, but didn't know they had intentions for Microsoft Flight. Is there anything new to find?

I was able to convert the T-45 (Dino Catteneo's) into Flight, but unfortunately by Flight has stopped working all together recently. I'm going to do a full re install today and see if it solves it. Then I will try to get some photos of the T-45.

It's a real shame that we discovered the conversions so close to the demise of multiplayer. Not blaming you stone, your work is awesome and I love it, but Microsoft pulling the plug on GFWL really stinks. 

Will be here for this flight. 

All the addons I have transferred are still causing Flight to crash. It's a real shame because I've gotten 10+ things in and I can't fly any of them to test out how they fly or any possible bugs. 

I never had any install issues. If you mean the start-up issue I had with the Add-on Builder, I fixed that by taking your advice and installing the C++ you linked. Fixed the issue.

Here's what happened in the event viewer (windows logs-applications)

 Faulting application name: Flight.exe, version: 1.1.1.30063, time stamp: 0x5052284a

Yes, have all of the requirements. 

The application, or the aircraft?

When I go to the hangar in Microsoft Flight and try to select an aircraft I converted (for example, the Piper Cub) As soon as I click on the aircraft, Microsoft Flight crashes. 

Well I was able to get a few installed, but every time I try to load them in Flight, Flight crashes. Please advise. 

Finally got the add-on builder running, thanks stone! Will try to convert some freeware add-ons I have a bit later see how they work out.

Well I did manage to get 7.3 running well so it is not an issue with my PC I think. Checking the event viewer they are the same errors. 

Same problem Stone, can't get it opened. I'm going to try to try 0.7.3 to see if that one still works. That's the only one I remember getting to open and work successfully. If that one doesn't work and no one else has problems opening 9.1 then perhaps there is still a problem. 

Panda, can you check the Event Viewer to see if there were any errors with Addon Builder? (Type Event Viewer into the search window in the Control Panel, and then click "View Event Logs", and look under Windows Logs\Application)

 

Also, what version of Windows are you using?

I am using windows 8, and here is what I found in the events log, these are only errors, not the information ones. If you need the information ones I can get those too.

Hm, I was able to download it now, but I can't launch the AddonBuilder. I double-click on it but nothing happens. It gets the little loading circle for a second or 2 then I guess it forgets what it was doing. Addon Manager is working fine however. 

Awesome stuff! Big leap in the right direction. 

Well I'll be returning to these flights! I hope there are still enough people attending to do them. 

We got something just like that here in Virginia. At the Udvar Hazy center there are 3 or 4 of those exact simulators. I took one, it was lots of fun. Got something like 4 MiGs launching rockets everywhere  :lol:

Very interesting! At least they are still trying. 

By the way. It's a Huey I think, parked at Hilo international. 

How about adding the Pacific Ocean?

It's already there, just go West  :lol:

What would be so interesting there? No offense, but I'd rather have some land than an expanse of ocean, with a couple of tiny islands with nothing and no one on them. 

Water water was definitely a really tough one. I had created one that never got made, it was on Mt. McKinley, a little camp with a fire and tents. It was really nice. I had expected that one to be a tough one. 

Great read Luis. Agreed on all points. 

Having flown some real planes I can confirm that Flight hits the spot for flight models. Really great.

In my opinion, Flight will always have a special place. It's the reason I started flying real planes. I have it to thank for learning a lot about aviation and getting me into flight simming. It's never leaving my hardrive. 

Kaluhui has always been my favorite Flight airport in Hawaii. Just because it had everything, a VOR, an ILS (bet you can tell I love IFR!) 2 easily accessible runways and amazing scenery. If you're ever looking for a challenge , fly into the canyons at the north tip and try to make it all the from one end to the other. It's like a maze in there.

Thanks guys! A reboot patched it up and I was back in the air quick. 

So I had this happen to me for the first time ever. 

Never had this occur before. In fact I was able to run Flight on medium-high graphics before. 

I know my graphics card is a bit outdated, but it's always been able to run Flight perfectly fine. Any tips? Hope it's not a permanent problem.

Come on guys, let's not let this spiral into another insult thread. Microsoft Flight was not a "failure" from an economic standpoint. It was making money (a good amount too I'd think) but it wasn't enough for Microsoft. So they pulled the plug far too early

Of course we are all entitled to our opinion, but we respect other's sim of choice. Simply because you think that Flight was a failure does not mean everyone does. Nor does it mean that you can come in here and say Flight is a failure and that we should just move on. I'd refer you to the Microsoft Flight Archive to see what that leads to.

Far more than 15 people play Flight and enjoy it. Perhaps if you logged into Flight for just one more time and looked for a multiplayer server you would see this. Many people were purchasing content until the Microsoft point cutoff. Many still enjoy the big island in a biplane and a floatplanes. 

Now please guys, if you hate Flight, simply leave it alone. If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.

Would you happen to have the whole file?  Two parts are missing.

Ah, you're right. I didn't upload the other 2 parts. Here are the rest, just stick them in your saved flight folder like the other.
