In the Steam version the Fsse17x folder in Community is a shortcut to an Aerosoft folder in the main user directory. Deleted that and reinstalled then everything worked. The Aerosoft folder had duplicates from previous installations, even for the CRJ. So frustrating spending hrs doing detective work in this sim. Maybe this may help someone having issues.

Yep, uninstalled, reinstalled, reset EFB, everything they said. Green activation box still there, no power to FMC. By the time they get this pos working in 2024, 2028 will be out and 2020 will have hit end of life. Such good modeling and texturing it’s maddening the rest is such a miss.

So has anyone figured out how to get rid of the green activation box? Seems it hangs there and the fmc also has no power. Why did they create this new bug on a version with zero support? Mind boggling but considering the source, not surprising. They refuse to answer any questions. Typical garbage customer support. I wish I had never given them a penny.

I got My Traffic 6 at the suggestion of someone earlier in this thread. It works well. The only thing that seems to bring my fps to a crawl so far is the Carenado SR-22, though their Beech 1900 is silky smooth. I wish someone would do a Saab 340 or Dash 8-100/200. I like the smaller regional stuff. A CRJ-200 would be great also but all of the ones that were being worked on have turned into vaporware. I have had no luck whatsoever getting the Feelthere CRJ-200 to function properly. It flies somewhat OK but none of the switches or gauges seem to work. Same thing for the old FFS Saab 340. I guess I will stick to X-Plane 10 for flying the Saab and CRJ. Those 2 are a surreal experience with the X-Plane flight model and weather effects. Oddly enough, the Feelthere ERJ 135/145 works fine in P3D except for a throttle issue.

Yes, I fixed the lights. Open the folder of the ERJ you are using and open the aircraft.cfg file with notepad. Scroll down a ways and you will see a "Lights" section. At the end of each line there is a comma then the name of the fx file that is being used for the particular light. Look at light 4 and light 5. At the end of each line is something like fx_beacon_E1X5. That fx file refers to its own texture within the effects folder. The texture is what is causing the black box for whatever reason. I did not have the time or desire to load that texture in Photoshop and make corrections so I just renamed the fx_beacon_E1X5 to the name of the beacon effect that my E175 uses. I can't remember the exact file name. You have to make sure that you don't change any of the other parameters in each line or your light will not show up in the right location. If this seems confusing, PM me and I will send you my aircraft.cfg file. I'm experimenting with the FFS Saab and Feelthere CRJ-200 working now. They are old, but there's nothing out there that beats them right now. I was a beta tester for FFS and I can attest that we had several Saab 340 pilots helping to make things accurate. It is a shame FFS skipped town. On another note, the ERJ145 feels a little sluggish compared to FSX, especially on take-off roll and climbout. When you full throttle, look down at your throttle and see if the levers are going all the way to 100%. Mine are not and I suspect others are having the same issue. They appear to stop around 80-85% and that would explain the poor take off and climb performance. I'm also trying to find a workaround for this. Let me know if you see the same thing. There is probably a tweak to the .cfg file that may compensate for this. CH

I ordered v3 last week, I do not have any of the previous versions. It looks great and my computer handles it very well. I have turned airliner traffic up to 70 and still do not see any traffic on the ground at most airports, also see little in the skies. Does anyone make an add on yet like Ultimate Traffic or something similar? Also, the P3D website says there should be 40 high detail cities. I only see 13 in my scenery\cities folder. Norfolk is not there even though their website shows a high detail Norfolk in the screenshot gallery. I also saw a list recently that said Houston should be a high detail city. I am missing that also. I posted this on the P3D website forum and no one seemed to know why all of the cities are missing. They eventually deleted the thread because I felt like a partial refund was in order based on 40 cities being advertised and only 13 received. One person suggested importing the missing cities from the previous versions, but I do not feel as though one should have to buy all 3 versions to get what is advertised. Lastly, I noticed that Feelthere E-Jets installed perfectly, but the Regional Jets ERJ 145 v2 seems to have issues. There is a flashing black box around the Nav beacons on top and bottom of the aircraft. I have been unable to find a solution to this. Thanks in Advance, CH
