Hello, I recently downloaded the new IVAO pilot client "Altitude". Unfortunately, it does not come with it's own MTL installer, and there is download link available for the MTL installer. If someone has the full IVAO MTL uploaded somewhere, can you please share the link ? Cheers 9W.

Yes, for some reason it installed to a different drive using a similar path to where it should have been installed. Because most of the path was same, I didn't pay attention to the drive letter.

Fixed now, if possible mods please delete the thread. Turns out it was installing to the wrong drive. Thanks.

Hello, This has to be the wierdest bug I've encountered so far in flight simulation history. I recently picked up UK2000 Belfast and Birmingham. When I tried to install the scenery, the installer runs just fine, and even asks me for the options at the end. But the scenery folder itself is missing. I cannot find it anywhere.after it finishes installing. I checked my temp folder during, and the scenery files show up there, but as they get moved, they disappear. I've tried redownloading the installers, the UK2000 installer v1.31(Not the scenery installer). This is what I suspect is causing the issue. If anyone has a version older than this, can you please share ? Or if you have any other ideas, please do tell. Cheers 9W

Haha, the Tenerife Sount airport is called the Reina Sofia airport. They are not different airports.So you'd use the GCTS as ICAO. From wikipedia Hope that clears it up.

It's not a particularly difficult aircraft to fly. There are some peculiarities which you'll have to get used to. It has a very very busy cockpit, it'll keep you engaged from takeoff to landing. Cruise offers a short respite from the humdrum, but the lack of autothrottle means you'll need to keep an eye on the speed. Even in shared cockpit flights, it has enough to split the work between both pilots. The main things you will have to learn will be the FMC, and the autopilot. It took me about maybe 5 to 10 flights to get a hang of everything in the aircraft. I would definitely recommend the aircraft.

My config is I have P3D installed in an SSD, and all other add-ons and scenery installed in a normal 2TB HDD. But since all you storage drive are SSD, there is not much advantage to be gained by splitting the install between separate drives. I would recommend, irrespective of where you install them, to add the airports using the add-on.xml method, and avoid installing them in the main root folder. Also, FYI, m.2 is a physical standard and nothing to do with speed. You're probably referring to the NVME standard.

@ray hughes What files are you supposed to delete for WFSS ZBAA ?

What were the selling ?

I stand corrected. I also realised the same when I re-installed the aircraft yesterday. Thanks for your help.

Assuming budget is not as issue, the aircraft with excellent system simulation, and will complement you X-Plane hangar are : For regional airliners : 1. Majestic Dash 8 Q400 2.Leonardo MD82 For GA: Any aircraft from A2A, RealAir, the Vertx DA62, and even the JustFlight fleet is not bad.

Well, the QW787 doesn't use the old method like I said. Here are the first 20 lines of the aircraft.cfg Instead, each livery has it's own file called texture.ini which has the stuff that used to be added to the cfg file. For example, here is one from the Ethiopian livery I have installed As you can see, there is nothing in the aircraft.cfg now, but if I boot up the sim, I can still see the Ethiopian 787 in the aircraft selection screen.

Each livery now comes with it's own cfg file, which is how it should be done properly according to the SDK. Even the FSLabs aircraft also use the same method iirc.

Hello, There seems to be a problem with the installation of the QW787 on my system. Most of the liveries I installed are missing from the aircraft selection screen. Only the most recently installed liveries are showing up. For example. I installed a KLM 789 and a Singapore 78X livery a few days ago. Now they were only the ones showing up. Just to test, I installed another livery, an Ethiopian 788 yesterday. When I opened up the sim, only the Ethiopian livery was showing up. The 787 doesn't add liveries using the old method of adding an entry in the cfg file of the aircraft, so I cannot diagnose what's causing this issue. Any ideas ? Cheers 9W

I'm surprised to hear that. I was under the impression that the WFSS one was made using the v4 SDK and came with all the bells and whistles such as PBR and Dynamic Lights, whereas the A_A scenery was made as a common package for FSX & P3D. I was about to pick a couple of WFSS Scenery up, but I look forward to what people have to say about the A_A scenery.

The only reason the payware market exists is because the default simulator was designed in 2006, and lacked a lot features that can be achieved by modern hardware. And this being a niche hobby without much competition, have allowed payware developers to charge whatever price they like. Please tell me how many cities with good level of detail exist in the default P3D ? I'll tell you, none. I'll happily get what I can from the default sim without having to spend any additional money. If add-on developers want to keep making money, they'll just have to step up their game. To quote from another forum,

The scenery is a completely free scenery. Donationware is stuff that can only be obtained after you donated some money, like Chudoba Design's Krabi.

It won't open because you chose DX10+. X-Plane is based on OpenGL, so delete reshade, and when you reinstall it, select OpenGL.

Hello All, Just picked up the REX EF during the sale. I was wondering what the correct order to install the EF with tomatoshade is. I'm currently on default shaders. Should I run tomatoshade first, and then install EF or the other way round ? Also, which folder should I back up so that I may restore the orginal shaders if required ? Cheers 9W

I'm pretty dissapointed with my purchase. Both with the product, and the developers attitude. To those with low frame rates, I would suggest disabling the 3D Cabin from the configurator, it easily adds 5-10 fps.

Just finished updating my GSX, but I can't see any option for the "free" pushback. Just the standard left/right/straight options. Is that a GSX Level 2 exclusive feature ?

Where ? Can you post a link ? Edit :Found it http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,21083.0.html . Use the code "SORRYWEARELATE" during checkout to get the discount

Technically, for someone who is not familiar with the aircraft, you'd still need to study the manual and get familiar with the systems to fly it. Therefore, it is a study level aircraft. Wonder who were the first devs to come up with the term study-level originally ?

Thanks, I'll give 4.5 HF1 a try. I have the old v4.4 installers from my old PC, so I'll revert back in case something goes wrong.

Hello, I've built myself a new PC, and held off on installing P3D due to the issues with the 4.5 update. I've been flying X-Plane in the meanwhile, but I miss the Majestic Q400, and the Maddog MD-82. Is 4.5 with the hotfix the final version for 4.5 or is there another version due out ? I remember reading the issue where core 0 was at 100% all the time even with the hotfix. Is is safe to install v4.5 or should I install v4.4 until problems are resolved ? Cheers 9W
