  1. Hi Bert. I have written you maybe a few times in the last 10-15 years. I am 66 yrs old and the V.A. has given me some bad news. Fighting Cancer for 11 years now. I will be not able in 3 weeks after surgery to do anything but HOPEFULLY my new computer and FSX acceleration and MSFS on the SAME DRIVE AND on the SAME COMPUTER. The question I have is not TO complicated. Having the TDS on the MSFS and having FSX the Reality XP 530 and 430 work fine. BUT the F1 GTN 750 -650 Databases are not as updated as the TDS in MSFS thus they NO LONGER work. Somewhere, which I cannot find, someone brought this up EXACTLY about the Databases being different and problems. But this was in the RXP GTN forums?? I would purchase the RXP GTN's which most people seem to like better anyway, but I Kinda think its not gonna work. I took ALL the folders in AppData, Programs, Programs x86 etc... on and on and saved them off to the side and put the old Garmin folders on my other desktop which ONLY has Fsx Acceleration on it, and figured this has got to work. Switching between the two different GARMINS all together. Never worked. HELP!!!! you are the expert. I KNOW you have GOT to have MSFS and MAYBE??? dealt with this, Thanks, Keith.   I am signed into AVSIM. I have NO IDEA  how you reply????  have enough sense to NOT publicly put my email out.

      Hi Keith,

      If you are still flying FSX, it is indeed time to switch from the now unsupported F1 GTN to the much better RXP GTN.  This should work just fine with the TDS GTN in MSFS.  Having said that, I have not touched FSX in two years and only fly in MSFS now.  What makes you go back to FSX, now that you have MSFS up and running?

  2. I have written to Just Flight, no response yet. EXACTLY!!!! the same EXACT thing. Real life pilot but little experience of pressurized aircraft. Thought MAYBE the heating box was not pressurized, or maybe pulling out the heat knob did not go straight to the heatbox and took in some fresh air?? Went up frozen to the chair and same thing. NO MATTER WHAT I DID. Hours of flight no resolve. On X-Plane forum there is a manual for download, TrapperDan 1984-1986 Beechcraft Baron. I believe its the pressurized version....however for 2 days my password and reset password does not work so I cannot get to it. ONLY the Differential warning goes off. There is a vent knob on the ceiling between the visors and ITS SHUT. Also on the pilots sidewall towards the floor there is a air lever.
  3. Being Elderly and doing Flight Simulation Before actually Real life flying, we all, who do this hobby know that 95% of flight simulation is tracking down problems and finding fixes. Remember how a Certain company starting with the letter "C" , EVERY aircraft had to be fixed. Eventually the aircraft would be....OK or just put away. We spent ALOT of money back then. Reading all the posts its obvious its NOT DX11 or DX12. Its not settings. It is most likely server related. Many say this morning it did not work and this afternoon it did. It would be questionable if ONE person said this. The forums expose problems and it is HOW we fix things and come to logical conclusions. It, most likely is known by Asobo and they are NOT going to ignore this. I JUST experienced this for the first time yesterday as I have only had MSFS installed for a month. Flew low and slow 3G8 Geneseo Illinois, IT WAS UNBEARABLE. So I went to KTNP Twenty Nine Palms California and everything was great. I re-installed my FSX Acceleration on my new computer as I have around $4000 worth of software for it. I use the Orbx and the whole western half of the US in Megascenery. The coloring of Illinois megascenery is this incorrect green and when I flew MSFS in the same areas it is THE EXACT same green??? I turned on FSX after being frustrated with the NEW MSFS problem. I enjoyed using my A2a "STICK" aircraft with no problems. It takes 10 minutes to set up between YOKE and STICK. I flew the MSFS Bell 206 low, and this is where I saw UNBEARABLE tiling problems. Being completely frustrated having JUST spent $4500 on a new computer and 2 months setting up software and hardware...finding this forum was a RELIEF. THANKS TO ALL for your help and input. I believe it will and HAS to be fixed as it is almost unusable in its worst state of bad TILING. Rockliffe, I have seen you in forums since WAY back when. Read MANY of your responses. Bert Pieke was the fixer of so much back then. Also I MISS Reality XP GNS as the one in MSFS is GREATLY lacking.
  4. After years of wanting to "PM" to get help from members I just accidentally figured it out. I was hoping I could get the lighting upgrade you made for the C210, I have been following your posts, starting at the rxp sight for at least 10 years. As I remember I believe you are Canadian. I am 60 know and have stopped flying in the real world as me and my wife of 36 yrs are raising our autistic grandson and I am going thru the V.A. with non-curable leukemia. Still miraculously HOPE to return to flying. I own every Carenado aircraft plus most Alabeo. All the A2a collection, and love the Aerosoft PBY and Twin Otter. Also the Milviz B55 with the GTN750 upgrade. Do you have a lighting fix for the Milviz B55??   Rig is GTX645 4 gb, 16 gb memory, 2 monitors, elite avionics, Ch pedals and throttles, Saitek TPM and Cessna Trim wheel plus a pad system with everything available. Need to upgrade rig but it will be another $2000 not ready yet. Looking for another Elite AP 2000 as mine is getting worn out.  Flight simming is EVERY bit as satisfying as real flying as we deal with problems at a desk, try driving to the airport and spending half a day and big bucks and never leaving the ground.

      Oooops forgot to mention, I have FSX without Acelleration. Thanks, Keith

      Just thinking again,......   I have the rxp430 and the rxp530 without the crossfill, as I do not need it the way I use it and I have the GTN750 but do not use it much as it creates jitters on my rig, especially at the airports. I use mostly the Megascenry 2.0 with Treeline in the 11 states I mostly fly. I have all the Alaska Scenery available from Orbx and all the airports available, but almost always get a FSX crash before end of flight. To much on system. I have managed a couple hours with like the Carendo C185.  The rxp units are almost black in the C210 and I read "I think" that you fixed this? Thanks Keith

  5. I really would love the 120hz monitors instead. Where did you get it. Tiger Direct is the only place i can think of. Also i did NO research on exactly what was available in the 3D. Always wondered if it sythisized itself. Looks fantastic. The resolution ended up typical..1900X1080. My last VIZIO was 1900X1200 and the difference is not that noticeable. 60hz with I think 5ms speed. The hp's online were 7ms and to get to 3ms or 1ms the price doubled and so did the pixels.
  6. 60 years old. Incurable cancer and taking chemo at the VA..yuk!!! my vizio 26" had to much dust on the back i did not see and got to hot I think. It works but only stays viewable for a couple seconds. It is 5 years old and was fantastic.My second monitor is a 15" HP which is ??? 10years old and works great. OH WELL..glad I found this forum. You guys are fantastic. Late at night trying to make up my mind and best buy in southern calif has about everything in stock depending where you want to drive. Not far for me to many best buys. Having some trouble with the refresh rates though. Have a stock HP windows 8 that I changed from 4 to 16gb and took out the GTX630 and complaned so HP gave me a GTX 645 4gb which they said cannot be configured to work...read forums and wallah. It is an OEM so have to stick with the original drivers that I found on the internet. Tried to upgrade using Nvidia.com only to corrupt, causing my controls to shutoff randomly. Microsoft original sidewinder force feedback, ch yoke, ch pedals, ch throttle, elite avionics, saitek cessna trim wheel ( awesome must have ) and TWO saitek TPM's. only use one. I got the other one from the engineers at mad catz for research I did for them in mechanical design. I changed out the power to a Corsair 650 watt ( makes NO NOISE ) so a decent rig and runs all A2a at 30fps put the Carendo Phenom is a frame killer and the 206 with garmin 1000 is also. I have all the Alabeo, all the Carendo, All the A2a aircraft and recomend the aeorsoft twin otter, the aerosoft pby catalina, RealAir's Duke's and the Lancair. Cannot be dissapointed on these. I Build my own furniture so custom built a FSX solid maple elaborate cabinet the changes configurations a dozen ways and folds into an office with printers etc..on and on. Weighs about 800lb so getting behind it to take out the cords is no fun but looks great in my house. I only have exactly 25"width to work with so only some of the 27" work. Samsung has an LED that seems to fit the bill??? There is an ASUS also that I read in ?? not sure but it was a Sim-something and it went on and on about brands...It is the refresh rates or Vertical stutering and Horizontal tearing that are annoying when panning quickly or turning on taxi. I have messed with Nvidia inspector etc.. no luck. Hoping the monitor was some of the problem.. Thanks
  7. Make sure your reading it correctly, 100th's,1000th's, and 10,000th's
  8. NOT USING the IAS but everything else. IFR flight real time, real weather Kapv to KSBA Santa Barbara. 16,0000 ele. Landing conditions 1/4 mile fog 200 ft ceiling. Excellent landing. SOOOoo all the autopilot works quite well. I did not use the IAS yet as it would be my last test.. total 2 hours flying time. Tested the IAS 10min after buying that night, seemed functional but not enough time yet. With EZ dok camera and all the other goodies it was a VERY good experience. This is going to get some hours for sure. It is not agitating or, well its ok I will eventually use it, no this one is fun!! keith
  9. I was having so much trouble with my mouse wheel that I was beginning to think I was experiencing a flaw. A spec of WD-40 proved that somewhat wrong, but it was a busy 1 hour flight testing the AP the whole time. Do not have the IAS airspeed concept completely understood in that it is with pitch that speed is adjusted. What happens in straight and level, etcc..... on and on.. NOT SURE. YET. but it seems,,,SEEMS to work flawlessly to me so far. As I thought truly by first impressions that if I was Carenado and missed so much on the Seneca with so many customers THIS being the issue..( ARE YOU GOING TO START PUMPING THESE OUT AND WE ARE THE BETA TESTERS ) ??? that I could see right away ( doing this for over 20 yrs ) that it was a labor of Love..SOUNDS wow!! it is a FULL and functional plane. So much to it. and little things, window shades shut like captain sim..DOOR MANAGER WORKS!!! Now only Pilatus Real pilots are going to catch engine parimeters etc.. Keith
  10. p.s being positive on this one. Took a 1 hour flight with an ILS landing AP seems to be functioning fine EXCEPT the altitude set wasn't working....my wireless mouse wheel needed a spec of oil.. fixed it... Started Chemo with a uncurable cancer at the VA last week and almost bit the dust. SOOOO.....started this with a positive light.. Easy to get tired of being a non volunteer beta tester....gracious keith one more thing the backup altimeter is in 100, 1000, 10,000's was a little perplexed for a while
  11. I have every Carenado aircraft, fs2004 and all but maybe 3 of fsx. Bought the Seneca a little while back with to be honest at first disappointmented. BUT THIS...have had it 30 minutes, have not even flown it..it has numerous 2d pop-ups that will completely surprise you. I am getting 30fps and that is a very good sign. I installed the RXPGNS530 from THERE setup available in the aircraft file. Under Carenado in fsx there is plenty of documentation. BUT THE GRAPHICS ARE UNREAL..FAR BETTER THEN ANYTHING THEY HAVE DONE. I OWN ALL the A2a products, All of Captain sim products, Aerosoft Twin otter, All Alabeo products and this is VERY Very impressive. NOT worried about the list of fixits to come. I am a VERY meticulous artist, THIS ONE SHOWS A LOT OF LOVE, ATTENTION AND CARE....... Thanks Guys.....Thanks so much Keith Intel I5 processor, Nvidia GTX 645OEM, 16GB ram, Ch yoke, CH Throttle, CH Pedals, Saitek TPM, Elite Avionics, and all the best fsx goodies.
  12. well ttocs, that was my guess of Carenado's thinking. If there was any thought put to it.. I have traded out the sounds. It is hard to endure for a enjoyable flight.
  13. Hi Jim, again. I missed page 13 somehow. Downloaded your UPDATE and was VERY easy to install and fix. Keith
  14. Hi Jim, Read this post, well I am going to look up my purchase.....December 12th 2013. I have no idea how to PM you. Where is the info??? I assume that must mean post marked or something with my e-mail but where are you?? I am the only one in this entire post who seems to have NO idea how this works as it looks like I am from the dark ages.. I tried to figure it out on my own for weeks using every thing from fsx and fs2004 over the last 20years but no success. The reason was only because there was about 1 page when I first read this and it must be obvious how to find you??? That was well over a year ago. I read yesterday that I think it was Avsim getting hacked and to guard e-mails because some moron was spamming everything. I think I know what that means??? maybe. I will look here again soon and just leave my first name. Thanks so much. KEITH. my age is showing. OH WELL.
  15. This was quick and simple, but it works. Tested it changing to com 2 for ATIS. It shows up on there radios also which shows that it is only the click spot that was overlooked. You can change the size or whatever. I just added Window 06 so that is all that has to be done. I have windows 8 and works fine.
