Completely forgot about the performance issues. MSFS definitely has changed a lot of that, lol

Hopefully Cockspur’s HS125 is better than Carenado’s. Just got a PIC type on the Hawker for work and boy, Carenado got a lot wrong systemswise. I’m expecting CS will do a much better job, as I’ve seen from some of these smaller MSFS devs, fortunately. If someone takes on the CE560XL, again, hope that they do a better job. I’ve got 450 hours in that airplane and once again, Carenado missed a lot systemswise. it’s not so bad to fly this stuff in the sim when you don’t know the real airplane, but it’s pretty difficult to fork over $40 to a company that delivered a plane that you know for a fact didn’t work properly in the past - especially when they say “tested by real world pilots” lol. I can’t stand flying planes with inaccurately modeled systems. I’m used to real life aircraft procedures so running my flows in the sim and not seeing the right lights come on at the right times is a little like singing karaoke lyrics to a song they don’t belong to lol

Actually, disregard. Working now... not sure if it was just due something gone awry in august that has fixed itself by now or what, but we're good!

Bump?

Title says it all. Can't find anywhere to email anyone about this issue to look up my purchase info from Flight1. Considering the arm and leg I spent on this GPS trainer, I want to get this thing reinstalled on my system since moving to P3D v6. Anyone able to help with this? Thanks.

Here's to my first ever post on the Avsim forums. I've been a simmer since 2011 and have referred myself here many, MANY times for assistance, but have never needed to post anything till now - that means it's a real head-scratcher.... Here's to my next issue to deal with on my list! About a month ago, FS Spotlights began to crash my copy of FSX Acceleration suddenly on startup. No changes were made prior to the error. Initially I just uninstalled the program and all worked fine. I could work without it. Now I'm dealing with an airplane that simply will not take my edited lightmaps for some reason, so to avoid using the awful default night cockpit flood lighting, I would like to get FS SPL working again. After two days of fighting with the program, I have narrowed the issue down to the FSLSpotlights_FSX.dll. My problem began with the FS Spotlights "has not initialized correctly" message. Reinstalling was the suggested course of action, and that did not work (I made doubly sure to delete EVERY FSL related folder regarding Spotlights). I added full permissions on every FSL folder on my system, that did not work. I edited out the DLL entry in my DLL.XML file in .../Roaming/Microsoft/FSX/dll.xml, which apparently bypasses the Spotlights error, and finally my sim starts up. Once I've begun a flight, I open the manager, and there's no light options in the groups window pane. Not surprising if the dll entry has been edited out. But I can't get FSX to run any other way as long as FS SPL is installed. I've been pulling my hair out troubleshooting this for two days now and have combed every forum for an answer. I've gotten nowhere. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you! My specs: Intel i7-4700MQ FSX Acceleration NVIDIA GTX 745M FS Spotlights v. 1.0.0.38 I did have SweetFX but have since deleted that program and its associated files in an effort to troubleshoot - to no avail either. d3d9.fx is the only .fx file in my FSX root directory. Let me know if you guys need anything else. Thanks again for any assistance you can give!
