It's only a hobby ... :lol: Congrats on a great setup!

\o/ TY.

The SPKR is just that, a speaker, which I don't think is implemented (as opposed to the headset). Oh, it could be for external speakers, but I don't use those.

Where in the manual does it say that you need SPKR enabled? Works just fine without it.

For the reason he states in his first post in this thread?

I had that too when I still used it. Running the config utility again fixed it for me.

I don't have a PMDG menu addon, either?

Not that I'm aware of. In the end, I settled on OpusFSX, which gives you hotkeys for views. Its main purpose, however, is weather, and it does both exceptionally well. Like Ezdok, it also gives you the means to enable TrackIR per view. I had a problem with Ezdok, and it didn't get any exposure at their site. Last dev response is ... I don't know when. To me, it looks like a dead end. OpusFSX support is fantastic. Go to their site and try out the demo. No need to commit before you're absolutely sure it does what you expect it to do, which in itself is fantastic.

N1 will be at whatever you've defined CLB to be during a, well, CLimB. Have you done even the tutorial?

If you mean if you can enable them all, no, you pick one.

The PMDG Livery Manager (see your Start menu).

No problem. Yes, I use the NOAA weather plugin, and for the rest of my needs, I use FlyWithLua. But, I haven't touched X-Plane anymore. :(

I'm running 64-bit Windows, that's not the problem. The problems, for me, are as I've stated: 1. No 64-bit VATSIM. 2. Can't use 32-bit VATSIM, since the 32-bit FF 777 has bugs that the developer won't fix, since they stopped with 64-bit (same for other new stuff that comes out, 64-bit only). I'll leave scenery in the middle for now.

Ah, thanks for the explanation. I'm really new to this whole sim experience, and to be honest, I didn't expect much of it. But, I'm really starting to like it. I started with X-Plane since the FSX Demo blackscreened on me. A friend told me to purchase it anyway since the demo was most probably outdated. I held back and started with X-Plane and got myself the FF 777 for it. Then, I bought FSX Gold anyway, since it was cheap, and although the lighting doesn't look as nice as XP, and neither is the flying, I like FSX more, especially now that I've found VATSIM. XP is really bland looking with all those trees everywhere, and FF won't update the 777 anymore for 32-bit. So, I got tired of having to work around it not idling on first descent and the scenery and I'll probably come back when they're a little bit further. All in all, I feel XP is the better solution, it just needs a big world around it like FSX has.

Weather and graphics wise, XP is so much nicer, though. And, this sounds silly, but compared to real flying, XP just feels more correct to me.

Nice tip, thanks! Downloading as we speak.

The whole FSX addon scene makes me feel I'm using two cups and a string to make telephone call. Quite the list of software you have there, I only use FSX atm, but I do miss X-Plane. Btw, what's the deal with X-Plane, it's in red and black?

This, and the fact that aircraft makers don't update/come out with 64-bit planes, at least, the ones I'm interested in.

The four links simbrief pops up when entering a flight plan or the soploa's the different VATSIM centers have on-line.

It's the first thing I looked for when I bought FSX. Yes, I got XP before I got FSX.

Interesting responses. Thanks, peeps!

I kinda like, but it's long. And my phone doesn't completely turn off with a single click. It goes to sleep.

You're welcome.

Ah, it's Sugol3b, I went for Sugol! Thanks for pointing it out, and thanks for posting all the other ones. Saved, and thanks!

Best money I spent on an X-Plane addon, to be honest.
