    Hi, afaik trinusvr creates vr like out of normal non vr games.

    You might check out Riftcat - that lets you use a smartphone with htc or rift games. 

    I tried Riftcat with flyinside demo and fsx but was not satisfied with the graphic quality. Just some days ago I bought Aerofly FS 2 and found the quality "good enough".

    Riftcat on pc + vridge app on phone via wifi

    install steam VR

    run aerofly in vr mode (within steam)

    Even as Aerofly is not as deep as fsx for the price of 30£ +20£ headmount for phone + 10-15£ for Riftcat it was worth to try it for me. Aerofly comes with south us as photo scenery , but much higher frame rates than fsx and imo much better graphic quality in vr especially. 

     

    I did not found a way to try X-Plane 11 with Riftcat as X-plane 11 is not in steam yet and games outside are not compatible with Riftcat or I didn't found the solution yet.

    good luck

    Hi, updates about the release dates from Aerosoft forums from today, 2 Sept 2015:

     

    Aerosoft CRJ

    "It means we are 28 work days away from release (and we count with 7 work days a week). So if we have no unexpected issues Sept 30 it is. If you see 28 again tomorrow it means we hit an issue that needs an additional day!"

    "I still plan with 2015 but I am not going to force the dev team. This is one of our biggest projects and it needs to be done right."

    I had FSX Acceleration and after reading many many posts about steam I uninstalled Acceleration and installed fsx steam as single install. I can confirm what I have read often, that it is better with VAS (less OOM). A few older freeware utilities won't run but nothing important. As far as I know, it will give less problems if it is the only fsx version on your pc (so ,don't install the DVD later). 

    good installing for you

    cheers

    Hi, I am  still a beginner in fsx and can only write from my experience. I have the cherokee and like it very much but the "autopilot" is not really auto but more a little assistant after you fly trimmed etc. I never got used to it even I read a couple of hours.

    Today I bought the A2A182 , and had problems with the use of the autopilot too. After reading some forums it seems I am not the only one. 

    The most help I found here:

    http://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=121&t=46130&hilit=autopilot+182

     

    "- Once nicely trimmed on climb out, just press 'AP' to engage and it'll keep you climbing out at the same rate. (it's actually a 0.25 second press that's needed to activate it, not 2 seconds, so just a slightly prolonged mouse click is sufficient.)
    - Turn the rotary knob(s) to select your target altitude and the autopilot will automatically arm for capture.
    - Press 'UP' or 'DN' to adjust vertical speed if desired.
    - Just be aware that if you preselect your target altitude (when on the ground for example), you'll need to press the 'ARM' button on the autopilot after engaging it."

     

    with those tips it seems even I manage to work the autopilot alt .

     

     

    (there are some topics on the A2A forum about recent problems with the C182 and autopilot, and a new fix is in work according to this threat: 

    http://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=121&t=48863&hilit=autopilot+182

     

    I was aware of those comments and still bought it today :)

    cheers

    Just 2 days ago I came across Efass flight planner.

    There are some not so good reviews from 1 or 2 years ago but this seems to be a updated fixed version. 

    http://froom.de/efass/

    " EFASS is free. After 14 days you can decide, if you want to pay for EFASS, or if you want to continue using the free version. All you need is an EFASS-Account that you can create during the installation process."

    I used it for a few flights and it works for me very well, quick, easy , including SID and STAR, moving map, detailed airport view.

    don't know yet if I would buy it, as there seems to be no indication yet what the price is, but for now it's my favourite.

    cheers

    Hi, I can relate to that, programming airplanes (with the 100 new words) seems to me a mental mountain.

     I have the Aerosoft Airbus A320 - the Manual is great, but in my opinion not for a beginner. The Airbus manual includes lots of side notes which you don't need for a basic first flight success.

    (I spend more than 30 hours on the tutorial and still missing a few little things which make it not work, but I will continue.)

     

    The Pmdg 737 ngx Manual is free for download here:

    https://www.precisionmanuals.com/pages/downloads/docs.html

    From what I read,it starts with a basic flight first and adds the more complicated stuff later.

     

    I am looking forward to take this learning experience for myself as something which I can apply to everything in life too. To have something complex and work out a plan for myself to cut it into small pieces and work on the process of more and more understanding instead of trying to get it all at once.

    regards

    No Persmission to orbx forum:
    "Sorry, you don't have permission for that! [#1001] You are not allowed to visit this community." 

     

    - Something that might bring a solution , but I did not try it !

     

    Setup a new account (without FSS number) from a different IP address (a different computer from a different house, work, internet-cafe etc), new user name and different email address.

    You might access that account afterwards from your own home pc.

    If that works then at least you could read forums and maybe contact Orbx from there and explain.

    If you put in FSS numbers of purchase, use only those which you did not put in before on other accounts.

    Possible reasons why no access to Orbx forums:

    As from other posts I read, where customers could not get access to Orbx forums it could seem that a IP address gets blocked.

    I read from customer who tried to access the forum from another computer and put in the same purchase No as they had put in before from a different account - and that could indicate a fraud. (as if someone takes the FSS.... No from a forum post and claims that its his product).

    In my case it might have been that I forgot my user account (forgot even that I made one before) and tried to set up a new forum account with a different email address of mine and a new username /or the same (can not remember exactly what I did) and I never got the message where I could confirm my account setup.

    And, is Orbx connected to OZx forums, becaues I could/can not login there anymore? But thats not important as I can read OZx forums at least without login.

     

    tell if you found your solution, it might help others in the future,

    thanks

    Hello all, 

     

    did anyone of you bought a used DVD and how is your experience ?

     

    Does it always work or only sometime ?

    Do you get updates and can install them just as if you were the first owner ?

    As I read a few times, some (or all ?) companies will not allow to register in the forums for the 2nd 

    user and not allow to get customer support. 

    What is your experience ?

     

    especially I would be interested in the big and expensive names, pmdg, flight1

     

    thanks

    few month ago I bought win 7 pro 64 on ebay for 25 £ (2 friends did the same). It is OEM and the website seller wrote something like, win 7 belongs to hardware, that is why we sell this with the harddrive /motherboard, which is broken and not working anoymore. To save postage we do not send the harddrive/motherboard but you can pick it up (which noone did). Registration went online quick.

    Then I changed my motherboard after a month and needed to register again, this time it did not work online but I need to call a machine and type in some info and confirm that my win7 runs on only 1 computer.

    After another month my harddrive broke so I needed to install again and did the same as above, without any problems.

    So I can recommend the 25£ version of win 7 -64 prof.

    regards

    In FSX-SE I have absolutely zero frame loss when undocking anything to a second screen in windowed mode. Is anyone else noticing this? Its a huge deal as I can have as many panels as I want open now but it used to cost me 50% fps loss in FSX boxed

    thanks for that info beerwolfe, it's def a good reason to switch.
