The biggest dangers to the free world are supression and complacency. Problems often start small but can end up eventually as wars. Sorry, people, but wearing the uniform of conformaty is no guarantee of a safe and happy future. I can see that complacency is well demonstrated here. Live Long and Prosper! 🙂🙂🙂

Not happy about topic closure when the author (me) has not been given a right to reply! Regarding Microsoft's stand regarding (fake) weapons on war planes is forcing one's ideology on another, sets a dangerous precident. I thought that the so called free world was fighting other countries that was doing this sort of thing. Simulators by nature is an attempt at being 'as real as it gets'. Planes should represent the way they are or were. MSFS is a general flight simulator. We should be able to embrace all planes especially the magnificent WW2 birds as they really were. It's strange that all these planes are allowed in cockpit, gun sights and clickable gun switches but not graphically show the load out of the weapons in question. Importantly, the loadout affects the flight characteristic of the plane in question.so denying these weapons, the plane falls short of being simulated. I was never asking for the planes to actually do damage, I leave that to DCS. There is hypocracy in Microsoft's stand when you consider that they condone or even encourage in Windows, game clients e.g. Steam to sell games that are death dealing, bloodthirsty, gorey and sick. Ideology should not be their game, that's choice of a free voting electorate. There was nothing in the reply from my ticket about their E rating, not that they needed the E rating. Unlikely a 3 year old is going to be playing this. I can't see a refund likely even though they have breached UK law which would cover incomplete digital download as it would be considered broke. I suspect that even purchasing from the developers, that Microsoft will find a way to cause your plane to be updated after a future update to the sim. So we are likely all to be vulnerable, wherever we buy. In regard to the Corsar, nothing stated in the reply is true. This, from my ticket states the following: By design, Microsoft Flight Simulator do­es not include worki­ng armament or enable deliberate acts of violence on official content (stock and 3rd party content purchasable on the ma­rketplace). At its core, Microsoft Flight Simulator is a fli­ght simulator. There is currently no plan to introduce combat simulation.

Forgive give me if this topic has been done before. I did a 'Corsair' search but 0 result. For those into WW2 planes and do not know this, I just wanted to make you aware that buying the magnificent FG-1D Corsair from Microsoft Market place has no armament loadout and 3 liveries missing. It is being sold at full price though. I got caught on this one because having tbe P51, and Spits both with gun sights and clickable weapon switches as well as the Spits protruding gun barrels I did not realise the deception played on purchasers. Disgraceful! Alan

the file name for EGBB is NAX47130.bgl, you have shown that to be for EGCC? How can that be? regards, Alan

MSFS Manchester (EGCC), probably the most important airport outside of London in the UK is missing. I think I've exhausted all attempts to get it to appear with no avail. To me, this is my most wanted airport as I use it for most part as my base for domestic and European flights using PMDG 737, Airbus 320, CRJ700 and BAe 146. I've tried with the default airport and MaccoSim's excellent addon. Cannot create a departure/arrival flight using LNM so this is dissapointing. The .BGL file for EGCC is in the Community folder but I do not know the location for the equivalent file in the Base Navigation to see if it is there. Below, is the location for EGBB which is also a MaccoSim addon airport which does show on the LNM map. Could anyone who is lucky enough to have EGCC on their LNM map please tell me the .BGL file and path I need to look for?

snob. You play. You're not flying. Games are games and real life is flying.

The unique design of the throttle control in this amazing plane will make the chances one being commercially designed for flight simmers unlikely. I suspect that it is a patented design in the real aircraft, so whether other plane manufactures go down this road remains to be seen. Therefore for flight simmers, a controller like this will have limited sales potential and make it an expensive niche market. However, an actual controller would immensely increase the immersive nature of flying this plane. Mechanically, one would be relatively easy to make, however, the USB connection would defeat me and maybe a second proportional control needed would not be available from the developers or XP. In the last hour I've made a simple design on my PC. Any thoughts about this? Unfortunately I can't seem to insert a jpg on this forum?

Thanks RXP, I've downloaded the update. As it contains the file needed it has solved the problem again ! :) What I did before flying was to make a copy of the .dll and give it a .txt extension. Hopefully that will work if I lose your file again. I will look into W10's default defender and see what I can find. Regards, Alan

I guess you did not expect to here from me again, and I wish I had not to do so. But I'm screwed! I've been playing most of the day. I logged off to have some food. When I restarted I was back to the same problem but worse. Blank screens! I looked for the .dll file and it was missing. Opened McAfee and it was still listed as excluded. I looked in quarantined and it's not there so I cannot restore the file. I suppose I need to reinstall again, except I cannot, because as I mentioned in an earlier post, my key is corrupt! Just goes on and on. I will have to dump McAfee because this is quite intolerable! Any suggestions?

Hi RXP Well, I realise I've taken the scenic route (pun?) with this problem and thank you RXP for finally getting there with me. It surely was that file and the very pesky McAfee VP. I could have sworn I placed the file in the exclude area but, doing it again has solved the problem, at last! Dual setup in the excellent Airfoillabs King Air 350 (MOD) looks great!

Until I retired, I was in the teaching world. We found that many of those who wanted to teach their skills were unable to do so. This is a common problem, people know their skills but it takes a very special kind of person to teach. I find this is the situation here. With all due respect RXP, and I'm sure that you are good at what you do but, help from here has been, to say the least, ambiguous and vague. It boils down to the fact that there seems to be an assumption that people wanting help will know what your talking about. I assume that if I tried to explain the skills I have might cause you problems too, except that I taught 🙂 However, below is the contents of the two (relevant?) files. BTW this file is where it should be: C:\ProgramData\Reality XP\rxpGtnSim32.dll Also I don't really want a refund if I can help it. I feel that this tool is an essential navigation item so please help. Also I do need the key fixing. I have no idea why that's not working.

10 hours - just does not work! I now have tried to re-install. Does not work! The Key in the Reality folder does not work! Says it's invalid go to f1 customer Care. I DON'T have a f1 account! Did not buy it from there - nor do I want just another account! Pleas tell me how refund works - because I'm fed up with being an unpaid trouble shooter! So many people have problems with this and I've not seen anyone who have been able to solve this. All advice on this forum has been vague, ambiguous and just downright unhelpful! My virus protection is doing my head in and all because your *.dll files are not registered with Microsoft! It really is the limit! Sorry but I'm justifiably angry. Why is it that payware causes more problems than freeware?

Tnx Bourrinopathe, you raised my hopes, but alas, it did not work. None of the buttons work on the panel. Never have. In fact I lost the defaults I had on there before. Not that they were much use. A dual panel was built for the Airofoillabs King Air 350 and I've seen it working on YouTube. The .ini file came with that and all were visible true. I just might try a second copy of xplane on another pc but even the instructions to put the gtn750 without affecting my licence, on one are ambiguous to say the least. Don't want to lose it on my main pc, that's if I ever get it working! Regards and ty for replying

I installed this software following the exact procedure of an intelligent guy on Youtube. He started Xplane 11, loaded a new flight. Did the Plugin, switched on the avionics and the GTN750 was there. As I said I followed this precisely: 1) All I get on the dual setup is the default x-plane PFD and on the second screen the default FMC which I cannot use unless I click on it and get the default FMC 2D window. 2) Loaded other planes and only get blank screen 3) I've used the plugin while in X-plane11. They do nothing! (I've also tried with the other plugins disabled) BTW if I run the Trainer from its own folder, the screens work. But only there and outside of X-Plane I've now logged 10 hours purely trying to figure out this one problem. From what I read, I know I'm not alone with this problem and have seen no threads where the problem was solved. Unless anyone can figure out the clues I've given then I will just have to abandon this entirely and 10 hours plus $50 down the drain! Since I installed the 750 software; each time I run X-Plane11 I find this in my McAfee Security History at the date and time of activating X-Plane: Suspicious incoming network blocked.

It asks for my Xplane 9 directory. I only have Xplane level. It just will not get past this. Clicked on purchase which stated xplane 9/10/11. What a pain! SOLVED Oh what a dork I am. No passengers are gonna trust me in the front seat 🙂

Thank you Steve! Somiller seems to be a bit impatient and rude. I've spent the last few days of my busy life trying to solve the problems. It appears that my new computer is faulty. I ran the Windows memory test tool and it failed. I also installed the Jetstream on a friend's computer and it ran fine. The offending computer has been returned for testing. I apologise for my initial rant, just a moment of anger over the time wasted. I'm not sorry for the caps, but here goes. I ALWAYS REPLY TO A THREAD WHEN THERE ARE REPLIES FROM MEMBERS! As I do with all forums I belong to. Thank you people for your replies and suggestions. Alan PS Somiller, I'm not lonely

I've just purchased the Jetstream into a new install of FSX on a new computer. Have added the excellent Aerosoft Consolidated Catalina and some UK airports all of which work well and cost considerably less than PMDG stuff. Attempted to run the tutorial for the Jetstream (what tutorial?) as shown in the load files. Large Graphical glitches occurred Across the outside scenery. I exited the flight and FSX gave a fatal error message and closed. Tried reinstalling the Jetstream same thing happened. Tried changing location etc. No good, crashes FSX every time. Just need to know how I get my money back? Absolutely no problems with this fast PC except this plane. BTW can find no manuals for it either! Will definitely avoid this company in future. BTW service pack 1 and 2 installed. There is a link for service pack for the Jetstream but that just brings up 'file not found' on the PMDG site. Alan

Thanks for the welcome guys (gals?) Thinking about a new PC atm as mine is showing its age. Will change to X-Plane 11 as this seems to be the best around. Just hope PMDG patch the DC-6 Cloudmaster to work properly for version 11. Just the type of plane I would like to master any time soon. Alan

Been a casual simmer for years having only limited time to devote to flight sims. Now I'm retired the world and 45000ft above is my oyster! Alan
