you can check at Cal Classics ,, I know some of their aircraft have squeaky brakes http://www.calclassic.com/ http://www.calclassic.com/sconnie.htm the Connie has the squeaky brakes ,,, I don't know if you can get it to work in other aircraft or not , or if it is even the sound you are looking for

Yes Thank you for this ,,, I still had a hard time getting the pic/screen shots up ,,, but finally got it working ,,, your post helped a lot Thank You

Not only do you need to clean the Registry 1st ,, I am assuming you had FSX on a separate drive From the OS ,,, and if you did you need to download and install msicuu2.exe use this tool to clear/clean the installer Reference From you System (NOTE WHEN THE WINDOW POPS UP WITH THE LIST OF INSTALLED PROGRAMS ON YOUR SYSTEM MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HIT CLEAR/CLEAN ON THE WRONG PROGRAM , THEIR IS NO REINSTALLING THIS INFO WITH OUT REINSTALLING THE WHOLE PROGRAM) and after you get FSX installed and if you have a problem activating it you need to reset the sldl logs ,,, download mskb928080.exe and follow the instruction on how to reset the sldl ,,, PS you can also try to get the installer reference removed by going to programs and features and uninstall fsx if it is still in the list

Ronny Yes you have to uninstall any addon that is in The Main FSX Folder ,,, Gex is a data base program and should not of been installed in the FSX main Folder ,, and if it wasn't then Gex does not need to be uninstalled but after you get FSX installed again , you have to run the Gex interface to reload the textures back into the FSX folder I believe REX is a data base program too ,, so if it is not in the FSX folder then NO for the uninstall ,, same as gex in need to reload it into fsx ( NOTE DOUBLE CHECK ON REX BEING UNINSTALLED I AM NOT A 100% ON REX) as I mention before ,,, do a google search their are steps to be followed for the uninstall as far as the Registry goes I would just use CCleaner,, if you decide to do it manually be very careful you delete the wrong thing you could make your pc inop

Google NickN FSX Bible Their is a hardware guide in their Edit I am running a 4770 OC 4.7 with a GTX 980 16 GB of mem on a SSD I am not sure what you are looking fore ,,, I can tell you that the HW has more to offer such as more cycles per clock then the SB NickN FSX Bible explains a lot of info on a new build as for FPS their is no real way to answer that ,, will you see a improvement ,, YES ,, how much all depends on other hardware and Addons and slider postion I can tell you I push my system to hard sometimes with UTX GEX Free Mesh X and other Airport and scenery addons and the sliders all the way to the right and real weather I get around 12-20 FPS at KJFK and NYC area, I do get some Ground Blurry(ie seeing the textures fill in) and stutter/pause some but that is do to UTX I hope this helps you some

Ronny Disregard copying the fsx exe from the DVD ,, it is not their ,, I thought it was ,,, I will email you a copy of the FSX.exe I have ,,,, before you put it into your FSX main folder RENAME THE FSE.EXE IN THEIR TO FSX.EXE.OLD then copy and paste the one I sent you into your fsx main folder reboot pc ,, wait a few min then fire up fsx and see what happens,,, if it does not work then delete the one I sent you out of your fsx folder and rename your original one back to fsx.exe

Ronny agree with Charliearon on doing the Repair I personally at this point would do a clean install of FSX + Accel following the install make a back up copy of FSX on a storage disk if you have one ,,, this way you have the core files all untouched by addons if you ever need them I mention CCleaner ,,, IF YOU WERE TO UNINSTALL ALL OF Accel and FSX ,,, do the uninstall ,,, then run ccleaner to clean the Registry,, Google it before you do the uninstall Their are steps to be followed doing the uninstall you can try one more Thing ,,,, if you have the original FSX disk put it in the dvd and hold the LEFT SHIFT key down ,, a window should pop up asking what you want to do ,,, view/explore the DVD ,, once you see all the folders and files in the DVD ,,, Copy FSX exe then paste it to your FSX Folder on your G drive BACK UP THE FSX EXE ON YOUR G DRIVE FIRST

Ronny Sorry for not getting back to you yesterday ,,, was gone most of the day and when I got home I crashed I am at a lost now Jim mention a couple of good things , make sure you have the latest visual 2005 sp1 Do a Google search NickN FSX Bible ,, read is bible and their are links in his bible for necessary files for FSX such as DX9 update, visual studio 2005 sp1 and a few more other then that ,,, it is looking more like you might have to try a FSX repair , and as I mention before, I have not had good luck with the repair.. or a clean install of FSX ,, if you do a clean install of FSX and do not want to loos your flight time and rewards ,, make a copy of the logbook.bin and save outside of the Flight Simulator X folder , also go to c user your name app data roaming Microsoft FSX make a copy of the Granted rewards and granted rewards old , after you get the new install of FSX done put the logbook.bin back in the Flight Simulator X folder over writing the one in their and put the rewards bin back in the FSX folder where you got the copies from over writing the ones in their if they are present Also if you do a clean install of FSX , you will have to clean the Reg too CCleaner should take care of most of it ,,,Google uninstall FSX you will find all the info you will need, NOTE any thing by NickN YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH HIS INFO

So let me see if I understand, every thing was fine then you installed FSDT airport then you started getting the CTD (crash to desktop) or you had the FSDT airports and addon manger installed for a while and just out of the blue you got the CTD,,, if you had FSDT and addon manger installed for a while and just out of the blue got the CTD and the error reads G FSX UI.dll then I would suspect a corrupt UI.dll,,, if you installed FSDT and addon manger then started getting the CTD , then I would suspect the FSDT and addon manger causing the issue 1. if you installed the FSDT airport and Addon manger then got the CTD ,,, you should uninstall FSDT and the addon manger Reboot the PC and fire up FSX 2. if you still get the CDT and it is still related to the UI dll, then I would suspect a Corrupt UI dll back to number one , when ever you install a addon and FSX starts to act up or CTD ,, the first thing you should do is uninstall that addon reboot pc and Fire up FSX and see what happens back to the log book bin if you renamed the logbook bin to .OLD as I mention earlier and FSX did not boot up , then it is more than likely not a corrupt logbook bin

I have a clean install of FSX Acceleration backup on my storage Drive ,,, if you want I can email the ui dll and you can give it a try and see if your FSX will load up then when I say clean install ,,, I mean when I first installed FSX Accel , I made a copy of it onto my storage drive let me know I have no problem sending you a copy of my UI dll

even if you got the log book bin opened , it would not of done you any good it is written in computer language, have you tried removing the FSX CFG and let FSX build a new one ???? did this problem occur after you installed fs dreamteam and all their garbage addon manager ,, Not a Fan of the Cotail/addon manger ???? you have FSX on your G drive early you mention" path G FSX UI dll " What that is telling me is that the problem is the UI dll ,,,, It is the User Interface dll UI dll ,,, not the Automationcore UI dll do you have a back up copy of FSX any where ???? if so go to that back up copy and copy the UI dll then paste it in to your active copy of FSX ,, your UI dll got corrupted some how ,,, Unless you can get a new copy of the UI dll ,,, you might have to try a FSX repair,, but as I mention earlier, I have not ever had good luck with it, and ended up doing a clean install of FSX , which is much more then uninstalling ,, the reg needs to be cleaned too, because the uninstaller for FSX does not remove the Registry entries

Doing a Repair is not going to correct the problem if it is the logbook bin and my experience with the repair has not been good , especially if you have addons like UTX

see what Charliearon posted I apologize I wrote documents folder ,, win 10 that is what it is ,,, as Charliearon posted and shown above , it is My Documents Flight Simulator X Keep us updated Thank You

Go to your Documents folder/Flight simulator X ,, rename your logbook.bin to logbook.bin.OLD and see if FSX will load then ,,, it is a known issue that the log book bin gets corrupted FSX wont load if it loads you have a corrupt logbook bin ,,, at this point all you can do is delete the old bin and let fsx build a new one, NOTE you will loose all you logged flight time and so on I had you name it to .OLD because if FSX does not load you can remove .OLD and you will have all your flight time back Let me know if this helps Also if you put the UIAutomation Core dll in, remove it and see what happens

when I installed utx utx tac v1.1 then utx usa v2.2 set FSX lib order as per the Manual specifically utx tac page 30 From utx tac manual The UTX-Tropical America and Caribbean (shown as UT TAC in the scenery library) installation process will add at LEAST 9 new layers to the FSX scenery library. These scenery layers are unique to UTX TAC and share no common usage with other UTX scenery regions (i.e. USA, Europe, Canada or Alaska). 1. “UT TAC Detailed Areas” – Contains the 30+ detailed port scenery areas provided in UTX TAC. 2. “UT TAC Airports” – Contains the 200+ airport corrections in the UTX TAC region. 3. “UT TAC Ground Polygons” – Contains special ground polygons like forested areas, grass, sand. 4. “UT TAC Streams” – Contains scenery files for streams and smaller rivers (textured lines). 5. “UT TAC Water” – Contains scenery files for water polygons and coastlines. 6. “UT TAC Railroads” – Contains scenery files for UT TAC railroads. 7. “UT TAC Roads” – Contains scenery files for UT TAC roads. 8. “UT TAC Lighting” – Contains scenery files for special night lighting objects. 9. “UT TAC Exclusions For Default Scenery” – Special exclusions that remove overlapping scenery areas (i.e some UTX USA areas). If UTX TAC is your first UTX product installed, then you will see an additional 3 scenery layers present. These folders are normally shared among all UTX scenery products. So, they are only present 1 time for all UTX products installed. 1. “UT FSX Object Repositioning” – Repositioning of static FSX buildings (i.e. Landmarks). 2. “UT Landclass – Vegetation” – Vegetation landclass layer. 3. “UT Landclass – Urban” – Urban/City landclass. Ordering Of Ultimate Terrain X Layers Only a couple of rules must be followed when layering the Ultimate Terrain specific entries. UT TAC Exclusions For Default Scenery The ‘UT TAC Exclusions For Default Scenery’ layer is critical. This layer contains special scenery files that will exclude the default FSX features that are being replaced by Ultimate Terrain. This layer must always be below every other Ultimate Terrain entry. It must be above the default FSX scenery layers, with the last layer normally being the ‘Add-on Scenery’ layer or the “Propeller Objects’ layer. However, there is a special case for UTX USA users described below….. """""""" Note: UTX USA users A very small portion of this scenery overlaps UTX USA. If you have both UTX TAC and UTX USA installed, you should make sure that the ‘UT TAC Exclusions For Default Scenery’ layer is installed above the 4 following UTX USA layers also. Specifically, this includes “UT USA Roads”, “UT USA Ground Polygons”, “UT USA Water” and “UT Exclusions For Default Scenery”.""""" when I do what it sais to do for UTX USA user ,,,, Move UT TAC Exclusions For Default Scenery up so it is above usa roads usa ground polygons usa water and ut exclusions for default scenery ,,, it takes away all the roads and car traffic in all of TAC coverage area ,,, if I move UT TAC Exclusions For Default Scenery’ back down the lib so it is below tac lighting , the roads and cars are back,,,, But I don't know what effect this has on all or part of the utx usa any help is greatly appreciated
