Just bought the JS4100 unknowing the incompatibility with FSX Steam.... Could someone please verify if the following issues are related to FSX Steam or just typical issues.... 1. Do not notice TAXI lights during day when on for the walk around.. 2. Throttle, Mix and Prop levers do not move..... 3. Some of the audio sounds (Stall, Gear horn, Fire, Overspeed) are not activated in the tests.... If I can can at least get these working it would be great... Simpler question.. What are the issues or incompatibilities with FSX steam? Thanks.... Flyboy53

Jim.. Thanks so much... Interesting that I can spend hours on the internet looking for error codes and similar issues and give up finally to post something about it as I did.... I hate depending on others and am a problem solver by nature... I found the fsdreamteam post about the dll.xml That was the issue... Some how someway, my dll.xml go modified with a w at the end.... This is the last entry.... And some installation put that there.... my first guess is the last install I did which was ejets.... For what its worth... This wont work.... ------------------------------------------------- <Launch.Addon> <Name>FeelThere EJetX Helper</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>FeelThere\E170\EJetH.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> W ------------------------------------ I took out the W, saved and wala! Anyhow, thank you again for the advice.... It aint the first and wont be the last but somehow it is a pattern that as soon as I post it... I end up figuring it out..\ All my best... Flyboy53

Evening folks... Below are the errors I get when trying to install GSX to P3D V3 after having installed SODE. My initial install was "Tropical Sim" SAEZ 2016 which comes SODE ready. Downloaded and installed the latest version of SODE Alls well, Have SODE Jetways at SAEZ 2016 Install three FS DREAMTEAM Airports.... All is good.... Install GSX.... Boom. These are what happened Interesting thing is that when I tried to uninstall the FS Dreamteam products along with COATI addon installer.... The same errors came up.. Somewhere I read it has to do with a DLL.XML? I havent the faintest and thought someone else might have had this issue,,,, Anything stand out in the images? Image 1: Just after closing SODE Registration window.... http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/image/GmIt Image 2: Closing thge runtime error popup http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/image/GmIQ Image 3: After closing the last error.. Leaves my instalation window frozen as in image. http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/image/GmIa

Hi Folks... Was wondering if there is an official guide to "FTX Central version 2" that relates to library insertion points... Thanks... Flyboy 53

draci... Would very much appreciate to know how to change my default SPIM to SPJC in P3D V3 Could you please share the process? thanks... Flyboy53

Hi.. Just went thru the issue with installing powerpack for UT2. Disclaimer: Thsi will only work if you opted to backup your data base when installing powerpack. Precautions: 1. Make sure you download the proper Powerpack Version for you UT2 Schedule (There are two different downloads, read the download page thoroughly) 2. When installing, Make sure you opt to backup your original or latest UT2 Database files.. There are three.. Powerpack will do that if you opt to. 3. Most likely, Like I did, you will get a database error when trying to run UT2 again and as I, will swear every available word you can and scramble for help after all the hard work you put in to customizing the original UT2 Database.... 4. If you have Windows 7, Most likely you may have a restore point... "You Must Restart In safemode to properly use restore to a previous point" 5. If you have Windows 10, Most likely you don't have restore point option on... You are screwed. However.. If you do, Follow these steps... a. Hold the shift key while clicking on restart.. b. Click on troubleshooting c. Click on restore options d. Click Restore data e. Pick a previous Install The restore will take a little bit and reboot your computer. Windows 10 automatically runs restore in Safe mode.... It will reboot The following step can be performed without the Restore point feature but I haven't tried it.... yet.... If it works, Yous should ignore steps 1-5 and do only 6. 6. Go to C:\Root\User account\AppData\Roaming\Flight One Software\Ultimate Traffic 2\Backups\ Copy the the UT2_Weekly and Official to C:\Root\User account\AppData\Roaming\Flight One Software\Ultimate Traffic 2\Databases\ overwriting the corrupt ones Copy the Interface one to C:\Root\User account\AppData\Roaming\Flight One Software\Ultimate Traffic 2\ overwriting the corrupt one UT2 should start normally as it did for me. Good Luck!

Afternoon folks... Had the same issue here but in my case, I used the correct powerpack. After compiling Powerpack new schedule UT2 started with a database error.... Any suggestions? Thanks Flyboy...

Afternoon... At least here in Argentina... Same issue as PhugoidEffect referencing the CRJ Models..... "Ugly" is an understatement. Essentialy, once I download these alternatives, How does one go about replacing the UT2 versions....? I tried using my CRJ lineup from Wilco... Seems to ignore it... Thanks Again for the info..

Seems like yours is the only post regarding those bombardiers... I have the same issue.... I assigned my wilco crj to it but still get the ugly model...

Evening friends.... Noticed some strange behavior and I have searched the Net and seems to be void of this issue.... Trying to refresh my fsx.cfg, I saved it and restarted fsx so I could edit the default from scratch... For some reason, upon exiting fsx, it would save my fsx.cfg to fsx.cfg.tmp and upon starting fsx again, the latest saved version was gone. It loaded up its own without my last changes.... I cant seem to kick this problem. Opened the directory with the fsx.cfg that was saved after exiting.... so far so good. It was there. But noticed that the fsx.cfg date and time stamp changed, as it should, when fsx started again..... However, all my changes where gone. The fsx.cfg.tmp that was created had the changes in it but the newer fsx.cfg did not. Anyone have this issue? Dont know if it is specific to fsx-se or boxed as well. Thanks for input.... I'd rather be flying than editing.... Will Charles....

You seemed to have mastered the cold & Dark on the Phenom.. There sadly is no documentation the the process for startup and shutdown/secure from carenado except their PDFS that are more of a checklist.... Would you mind passing on your C&D startup process/flow...and is it accurate? Thanks Will Charles

Hi All.... Glad to see my content is back and not somewhere in nowhere land.... Just Bought this beautiful aircraft and stumbled through a flight from KJAC to KEGE which ended up in a front landing gear failure (bad landing) Would very much like to know as much about this aircraft as well as some other Carenado products... Is there anyone out there providing third party documentation? The PDF's that come with the aircraft are very basic and have checklists but no procedures such as Cold and dark start up. Have the same issue with the Phenom 11.... Also a beautiful aircraft but lacking the same docs. Hard for other vendors to keep up with PMDG standards... heh. Thanks... Will Charles

Having an issue that has happened before with my Carenado Phenom 100 Originally as I was learning the cold and dark startup My Cockpit display panels went dark and I figured maybe i ran the battery down... Today midflight from KJAC to KEGE, it happened again. Total loss of instrument panels, FMC went dead, ATC stopped functioning... I saved the flight. Rebooted and started FSX again and loaded the flight. All was back but I had to reset the FMC, AP, and it happened again.... What is up? I didn't find any other reports. I fly PMDG all the time with no issues.... Would appreciate some constructive suggestions.... http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/image/Ugq

Thanks Kyle.... That worked. Interesting that in settings the path was listed and it was enabled to search automaticaly.... Anyway.. Its in. Again thanks and have a great evening..... Im off to KEGE from KJAC. Will Charles

Hi Kyle... When you say manually, Do you mean in settings under P3D V3? because that is mapped right to the P3D V3 folder.... Or is there another way to map it "Manually" http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/image/Ug0 http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/image/UgF Thanks.... Will Charles....

Hi Kyle and the rest... I am having the same problem. My navigraph FMC Data manager has both FSX Steam and P3D V3 mapped out.. However, if I look in my "Prepare 3D/PMDG\NAVDATA ", the latest cycle isnt there as it is for "FSX/PMDG/NAVDATA" So FSX yes... P3D V3 no Both mapped out in settings and in the Navigraph window it only shows PMDG for FSXS in the addon list. Something seems to be definitely weird.... Thanks Will Charles

Now that is an answer I like and someone who has a problem solving mind... I'll give it a try. The Idea has been to me, to be able to solve real world problems in these almost real world aircraft.... In the end, the word Simulation has a very understandable definition.... Simulate!

Thanks Kyle.. Will do!. Will Charles

Hello Kyle and Happy New Year! I'm using P3D V3 presently and originally had problems downloading liveries which I believe you helped me solve by adding admin to the operations center exec. Downloaded all the liveries that I wanted but for some reason the air India is coming up with the same error and essentially creates the folder but stops there... the i get the empty folder announcement from PMDG OC. Kind of odd that it is the only one.... Will Charles...

For some reason, though after downloading all the liveries I wanted successfully, Air India would crap out in the download process.... Thoughts or similar experience? Will Charles

Thanks... Sadly, I am having some bad luck with saves booting up properly, in most cases, Button cursor loss, ezdok loss.... and at time crashes. I would think that in the real world, there would be such a procedure to reboot the FMC and input the flight info.... Thanks again.... Will

Hi Guys and Happy New Years to all!.... I've seen a couple of posts related to this subject but the scenarios seemed a bit different.... Mostly, I am trying to complete a flight I stared a week ago that due to graphics and other unrelated issues haven't been to date. Long story short, Original flight was from SAEZ, Buenos Aires to KIAH, Houston. First time made it to just before Panama when I had a graphics issue crash the scenario (Using P3D V3) Earlier today started from SKCL, Cali using the same portion left from the original flight plan... Just past Panama.... Graphics crash again.... To avoid taking off again, I used P3D V3's gps location feature to start my flight. Selected course, elevation and speed....putting me on an intercept of a waypoint from the original flight. Paused the flight and loaded the SKCL>KIAH flight plan...... Threw a half of the original fuel load since I was about halfway in the flight and was not able to get VNAV going.... Zero Weight, Performance Flight Plan and pretty much all was in the FMC but no legs data to feed VNAV. I was able to load wind data and update the forecast..... What if any is the procedure to load a flighg in a similar situation... Say, in real world, FMC Data is corrupt and has to be reset and data entered again.... Any Ideas? Status: Just past Panama... FL330, LNAV operational but no VNAV. Destination landing speeds set at Flaps 30 Thank you as always for you insight.... Will Charles

Howdy all... Wow.... Excellent videos.... i'm Running a hex core xeon wi 24 gigs Ram and a gtx 750ti 2g vram with a little oc. Using an LG 48" LED TV as a monitor.... should look sharper but seems not. Cant get my sharpness to look that grand... Would love to know if I can get my refresh rate down to 30mhz I also noticed you talk about "NI" What may I ask is that? Thanks Will

Thanks Much.... That makes perfect sense..... As far as loading the aircraft.. no problem. But yes.... Would like to be able to load saved flights. Long flights require some saving.... been burned more than once with oom. And doing the whole thing over after 5 hours of realtime flight sucks....\ Hope someone comes up with a reason or solution... Again, Thanks and Happy New Year!.. Will C

Howdy once again..... Still vetting P3D V3 and have yet to complete a flight of any importance in my 777. I had saved a flight in case of an oom.... The flight was from SAEZ in Buenos Aires to KIAH in Houston.... Completed about half with a graphics crash nearing Panama. Trying to complete the flight by loading the one I saved which was close to northern Argentina... 2 things... 1. When trying to load flight from the start screen..... Image is frozen and p3d proceeds to crash. 2. Loading after using the default flight... Loads up normal with the exception that I can only grab the knobs on the MCP. Rest... just the defaut arrow and nothing else...... Anything like this come up for anyone? A third issue.. during the original flight.... My numbers keys that I programmed in EZDOK for some views had no response at times.... Thank you again gents.... Will Charles
