Hi all!It's been long since the last time I played FSX, however after refitting my computer with a brand new SSD and fresh install, I thought I could also upgrade from the boxed to the Steam version of FSX. I had already made a lot of research about the advantages (and disadvantages) of the latest version published by Dovetail, and bought it a few weeks ago. As obvious as it may sound, I had to have all my addon aircraft and scenery from nearly 7 years of simming into FSX:SE.For the most addons, all runs fine, however, I've experienced a few issues with some of them, particularly Tom Ruth's aircraft (DC-10, L-1011, PA 320 series, etc). These aircraft form the backbone of the fleet I regularly fly with, and I really want to fly with no problems at all, but:- When I press the SPACE+MOUSE binding, the mouse starts flickering between the crosshair and the pointer;- When pressing CTRL+Y, SHIFT+(number), Y, O, ALT, the binding not always work, as if windows switched between FSX and another program, or desktop.I've searched through the web and found out that disabling the Steam in-game overlay would solve the problem, which it did in most part, however I sporadically find myself in this problem again and again, particularly when switching from desktop to FSX. Maybe I am missing something here, and I know this can be solved, but I already posted this on Steam and got no response for almost a week... I've also heard that it may be something related to random keyboard language switching, but since the CTRL and SHIFT keys don't work I don't think so.

Advanced Checklist Operations
jackaustin replied to danbaz's topic in The Multi-Crew Experience (MCE) Support Forum
I saw another thread here that discussed what to bring to the field. It seems that I'm carrying more and more with me every time I go. One of the items mentioned was a pre-flight checklist. Sounds like a good idea, especially since I'm often setting up a rocket for each of my three kids at the same time I'm setting up my rocket(s) for launch. I'm bound to forget something.Anyone have a pre-flight checklist they use? I'm guessing it should be fairly simple. -
Ryzen 7 2700x tips for better performance
jackaustin replied to shantm11's topic in The Prepar3d Forum
Hi guys, Anyone got any FPS statistics on either of these? I'm building a workstation and as far as I can see the 2700x is the better CPU but the 1900x can be upgraded to the more powerful threadrippers... How poor is the 1900x Vs the 2700x? Best Motherboard For Ryzen 7 5800x Is it worth taking the hit in CPU performance so I can upgrade later down the line? Any help would be much appreciated! -
GTN 750 Popup under Virtual Reality? (resolved)
jackaustin replied to pmb's topic in RXP GTN 750/650 Touch
Hello! I have become interested in game development and I have been looking at Unreal Engine for VR Development, and I have some questions. What is the best program to create low poly assets for unreal? Is there a good tutorial for making the camera and hands collide with walls and objects? Is there a good tutorial for making workable buttons and levers for VR controllers?
