Hi, I have just purchased my first iPad (6th Gen), not particularly for using as a remote CDU, but will eventually use it as such. I am not quite sure about which browser to use. You seem to recommend Safari, of which I have no knowledge. I use Google Chrome on my desktop PC. Can I use Google Chrome as my browser on my IPad ? , or must I use Safari, in order to create your CDU. Sorry if this a somewhat basic question, but I would like to get a proper answer, before I setup my IPad. Cheers

Query on ATC issue
SkyyStorm posted a topic in Little Navmap | Little Navconnect | Little Logbook Support Forum
Hello Its a bit sad that my second thread on Avsim's forums is another issue, but I thought I'd ask. I tried to search for this issue on the forums, but didn't have success. Flightsim: FSX ATC: Default FSX Problem: When I create a flight plan on LNM, and I save it, and I open it on FSX, it works fine. I can see the details, and everything appears correct. However, an issue occurs when I ask ATC for IFR clearance. I get the request line from my pilot, and then the initial details from the ATC. However, after the ATC stops transmitting, I don't get an option to readback, nor can I call any other station. And nothing I do fixes this save restarting the simulator. Now this might sound unrelated to Little Navmap, but this only happens with flightplans i create on LNM. If I create the same flightplan on FSX itself, it works fine. I'm wondering if I perhaps don't do the flightplan correctly on Navmap, like I miss key information. Is this a known issue with a specific resolution? Or should I experiment further? -
can someone explain to me what the graduations 10/30 mean alongside then heading switch? thanks

Hi, ive recently installed REX 4 texture direct into my FSX, it all seems to have installed ok, the textures are all appearing in my correct fsx texture folder etc. So I create a theme within REX, save it and install it into FSX, that all seems fine. The question I have is when I open current weather---weather themes in the FSX free flight menu I dont see REX in the list. All I have is the default options such as Clear skies, Building storms, cold fronts, fair weather etc etc. I do have however, my ORBX weather themes listed and I was expecting to see the REX themes listed similarly. I mean if I were to create say 10 REX themes how can I choose which one to launch if they dont appear in the FSX menu!? So does this mean REX themes have somehow not installed into FSX despite the REX themes saying they have installed? For example, I select grey and rainy in FSX but the clouds dont seem any different to the default FSX, and the rain doesnt sound any different. Is there a fix I have missed out on or am I missing something so obvious!? Many thanks in anticipation Andy

Query: Is this what it should be (HSI and 750)? (resolved)
JaimeC posted a topic in RXP GTN 750/650 Touch
Hi I don't really know about the behavior of an HSI linked to a 750 in the real world, but it looks odd to me. In the video you can see that I have a route programmed in the gps and a vor tuned. If I choose VLOC mode, everything seems normal. If I move the course selector, the course indication changes and the CDI also. Up to here everything normal. But if I change to GPS, the course and CDI remains frozen at the last value. As I said I have no idea if this is true in real life. Note: I'm sorry for the poor quality of the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvqDd6UQHIM&feature=youtu.be -
AI Aircraft Repaints Query For Craig Sturdivant
eddywinch82 posted a topic in The FS2004 (FS9) Forum
Hi Craig, If you go on this forum, Can I ask you, do you have another Website, where you have all the AI Aircraft repaints you have done, other than on www.Avsim.com and www.Flightsim.com ? I am particularly looking for ones you did, which have not been done anywhere on the internet, for the Original Flight 1 Ultimate Traffic Software Addon. I found your old Website recently from many years ago, which had links to .Zip Files for these obscure repaints you did, on web.archive.org. But sadly all the .Zip Files hadn't been archived there. Here is the link to the Website :- http://web.archive.org/web/20050620011746/http://www.intergate.com:80/~csturdiv/ Some of those repaints from that old Website, appear to be in the Avsim.com File Library, but many of them are not. Could you tell me where I can download those .Zip Files, that were on that Old Website of yours, that are now on the Current Internet, if they are at all ? Any help and info you could give me, would be much appreciated. Best Regards Eddie Winch -
Hi, Here is a tutorial on querying for vector Data in the simulator using the SimIn API. Vector data includes roads, bodies of water, powerlines, and other linear features that are blended on top of the terrain data. The raw data returned from SimIn could be used for many purposes, such as a moving map or display. This is a continuation of the SimIn tutorial started here: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/544758-using-simin-sdk-to-query-facitities-data Step 1. Setup your project according to the steps in the above facilities tutorial, up to Step 4. Once you have your .cpp file setup with headers the module initialization, you are ready to add the code to query for vector data. In addition, you will want to setup a variable for the terrain service like the facilities: ITerrainServiceV1 *terrain; // and in module_init sdk->GetService(SERVICE_ITerrainServiceV1, reinterpret_cast<void**>(&terrain)); Step 2. You will add code to the DebugCallback (called every frame) to query for vector data using the terrain service. Note that this is an asynchronous service, so although you will request data every frame, you will only receive data in the callbacks once the sim has loaded everything. First you will create a VectorDBRequest struct. Note that as per the documentation, this struct is shared across several different requests types, each having unique parameter requirements. Here we will use a UserLocation request type, which in this case will query a grid of QMID11 cells around the User simobject within a 4.0km radius. auto request = VectorDBRequest { REQUESTTYPE_USERLOCATION, ZOOMLEVEL11, 4.0 } Note that almost all vector features are clipped to QMID level 11, however, freeway traffic paths are clipped to level 15. If you need these features, you will need to make two separate requests. For more information, see the Prepar3d SDK. Next, you will issue a terrain service request with a pointer to your VectorDBRequest struct and a callback function that will asynchronously receive the results when the query is complete: terrain ->QueryVectorAsync(&request, &vectorLoadedCallback); Step 3. Define a callback function called vectorLoadedCallback, which has the following prototype: HRESULT SIMINAPI vectorLoadedCallback (VectorDBData* dataraw) This function will be called asynchronously when the data is loaded, dataraw->Data will be NULL if failed, else it will contain the data to be read. The results of the request, stored in dataraw->Data, are a 2D grid of cells, one per QMID in the request. QMIDs increase linearly from top to bottom and left to right. Each QMID contains a 1D array of *VectorShape, these shapes each contain a single vector feature. Therefore, to iterate over all of the results returned, you will need a nested for loop, iterating over each VectorShape inside each cell in the 2D grid. Note that in QMIDs, the Y dimension refers to the rows, while the X dimension refers to the columns. Step 4. Now it is time to fire up your debugger! Set breakpoints first inside your DebugCallback and in your vectorLoadedCallback. Notice how immediately after load DebugCallback is called and the request is made, but that the DebugCallback finishes executing, and may even execute again, before the data is loaded and vectorLoadedCallback is called. Step 5. When the vectorLoadedCallback is called, inspect the values of what is returned to see how the data is structured. You will note that each VectorDBShape contains all of the fields you would expect on a vector shape that is needed to draw it, including an array of the lat/lon points (with altitudes if present). You also have access to attribute information like types, textures, etc. For more information on everything related to vector shapes in the simulator, including all of the fields that SimIn has access to read, see the documentation in the P3D SDK on shp2vec here: http://www.prepar3d.com/SDKv4/sdk/world/terrain/terrain_overview.html#The Shp2Vec Tool If anybody needs static libs for compilation, or custom development for a commercial license, feel free to contact us. Happy developing!

Hi All, Just to follow the announcement, we are posting a quick example (6 Step setup only!) on how to use the SimIn SDK to query facility data. Save the SimIn (x32 or x64) DLL in the same path of where your project DLL will be deployed. Step 1 Set Up the Project Preprocessor defines. Right click on your project. Select Properties. You should see the below menu where you can navigate to Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Preprocessor. In this case we need to define SIMINDLL to tell the .h header we will be loading a DLL. Step 2 Include the .h files, in this case the ISimInSDK.h is necessary for all the services and we are going to include the IFacilitiesService.h in this example Then define a Global ISimInSDK *pointer, and a facilities IFacilitiesServiceV1 *pointer as well. These two are the only ones you need to retrieve facility data. Step 3 In you void __stdcall module_init(void) (or DLLStart or gauge init function) function, define our GetSimInSDK function typedef and define a function pointer with this type so as to load dynamically the GetSimInSDK function: typedef SIMINCALL SIMINSDKHANDLE(WINAPI *GetSimInSDKPtr)(VOID); GetSimInSDKPtr GetSimInSDKCall; Then go ahead and use LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress so load it. Call GetSimInSDKCall() and the result assign it to the ISimSDK pointer: sdk = GetSimInSDKCall(); Then query the SERVICE_IFacilitiesServiceV1, and assign it to your IFacilitiesServiceV1 pointer: sdk->GetService(SERVICE_IFacilitiesServiceV1, reinterpret_cast<void**>(&facilities)); In this case (and you don't need to), we are using here a function from the core service to create a callback from the sim so we can go ahead and do our calls while the sim is running. You can use your regular gauge or SimConnect callbacks to call this code. Step 4 We are going to query facilities in the KJFK area, with the grid/rectangle function call. You can do: facilities->QueryFacilitiesRectangleAsync(41, -74, 40, -72, &facilitiesCallback); This will process your query and call your callback routine to query all facilities in the the KJFK area defined in the the Lat/Lon grid: Lat 41, Lon -74, Lat 40, Lon -72. Step 5 We are defining a callback function called facilitiesCallback, which has the following prototype: HRESULT SIMINAPI facilitiesCallback(FacilityData* data) This function will be hit async, when query is done. Step 6 Don’t forget to release our pointer once we are done. In module_deinit(void) (or DLLStop or whatever terminate function), call sdk->Release(); Step 7 So let’s Go! Let’s do our request call and expect an Async callback to our function Step 8 We receive the callback and loop through the results. To see what objects are retrieved refer to the SimIn SDK. All objects and the object count are retrieved in the FacilityData* data object - you will need to loop through them to get all the data. After processing all data call facilities->ReleaseFacilityData(&data); to free all data. The source code for this example is available here Thanks

I am trying to reload the expansion kit for the 777 on a new computer I have reset my new password but cannot get past the unique character it's asking for. Can anyone help me Thanks

Nice shots - I queried 'PropStrike' about the mods since it has a three bladed prop but still fixed pitch. They told me it's modelled after a C206 but still the original O320 and those humungous tires. Push your weight up to gross and the belly cargo pod attaches - see how it goes then.

Hello, I couldn’t see it anywhere obvious, but my query is quite specific, I’m struggling to get PSXT to recognise British Airways shuttle/domestic (SHT) flights. I thought I’d managed it but I keep seeing other liveries generated and not a BA A319/20/21. Which line do I need to add/edit please? I suppose it applies to any airline I’m trying to generate... Any help much appreciated Jeremy

If you would provide the flight plan here then maybe others can answer your query. Just go with the flow I guess. LOL

Mark I know what B is. I was using that as an example. I'll try another clean install plus delete and report back. The default aircraft is the Raptor not the F35 as stated above in 4.4. Is that still ok? I am experiencing engine failures with several more aircraft nowadays if I dont load the default aircraft first time. Can you reply to my query about speed trim please? Thanks Dean

GoFlight MCP Pro V/S wheel issue
Ray Proudfoot replied to Ray Proudfoot's topic in Hardware Controllers | Joysticks | Drivers
Normand, I think your point about the interaction via GIT and the SDK for the PMDG737 is probably right. I can’t remember how Project Magenta worked but the routing was quicker. Probably why I didn’t have the problem. I have asked the question on the PollyPot forum so I’ll wait for Steve’s reply and take it from there. It would be odd if I was the first to query it. -
There's an AFCAD with some of the more recent prominent changes. Realize it's not commercial grade, but it's a more accurate layout to reflect the look of the runways, taxiways. Robert Catherall is the author, query the name and KFLL, you'll find it easily. Been using it for a while, no issue

Assigning FSX Controller for Reversers in PMDG 737
threebears replied to threebears's topic in PMDG 737NGX
I see this has been moved. Apologies for posting in the wrong place but I didn't realise PMDG is still 'supported' / hosted on AVSIM. Anyway, and to be clear, my query was really about assigning a control function which appears to be missing in the list of settings in (my) FSX-SE - there is nothing for 'reversers' or 'reverse thrust' in engine commands (or anywhere else I can find). I used PMDG 737 as an example, but the same applies to my Majestic Dash. If anyone knows th answer I would still be grateful for help. -
Dear Ruedi: Thank you so much for your time to understand and reply my queries. I am enjoying your videos and trying to learn. By the way, I wanted to make a user created HOLD at a waypoint or present position. But I didn't find the option. Is the option available in Vertx DA62 G1000? Haseen.

Hi there, On the Ultimate Traffic Classic i.e. 1 Forums. Dan Pecher, aka dpecher, posted some screenshots, of AI repaints he had recently done. For Ultimate Traffic 1, of Airlines which didn't have a repaint for a particular AI Aircraft, that could be found on the internet. He said he was going to upload them, here on Avsim.com and Flightsim.com. I can only find one of his repaints, for Phuket Air, for a NAMC YS-11 here on Avsim. If they are not on this Website, does anyone know, which Website he has uploaded the others to, if at all that is ? I asked on that forum a couple of months back, but have had no reply. I also checked on Flightsim.com and they weren't there either. Regards Eddie

Hi Joe Thank you for the query. LINDA will respond to any device that behaves like a standard HID or joystick. After assigning and saving a function to a button it is necessary to click Reload LUE Engine to register that change. Otherwise, it won't work. If you are assigning a key press then LINDA must retain focus and should not be minimised. Only by using a function from those available or writing one in user.lua will you retain the independent operation.

Hello all, As I have previously stated I am fairly long toothed in Flight Sim (FS2004) but very new at P3dv4. I am seriously looking at purchasing the GTN 750 complete and other GA aircraft (in particular the Carenado Phenom 300) Before I do buy, however, I would like to clarify a few things. 1. The Garmin trainer. I believe this is required but... is it another purchase or is it integrated. Is it freeware or payware and where do I download it? 2. I am also receiving conflicting messages in that in the same video it is stated that charts etc are only available for North America (extremely handy for me as I only fly in Australia and Indonesia) and at the same time Nav data is available throughout the world. The charts do not particularly bother me as I subscribe to navigraph charts and Airac data. What I really want to know is if the GTN is Navigraph compatible and if it is not, could well be the deal breaker for me. I am aware that the Phenom 300 is navigraph compatible and that the GTN is insertable into that aircraft but needs to be configured (more info/research required with regards to this) so I am assuming that the whole thing is entirely compatible. I just require confirmation of this. Generally, it looks fantastic and a really viable add on to have. My main pursuit in P3dv4 is going to be airliners but I would also like to buy the Phenom albeit I think it is really flyable realistically with the GTN mod and at USD35 plus the GTN at USD65 the package is actually more expensive than the PMDG 737. I am also aware that the GTN can be used in many aircraft and that does somewhat offset the costs so the above statement is not really a complaint. I also have the Duke Turbine v2 which I purchased about 8 years ago??? but have never flown and I know that is compatible. So without any desire to start a catfight, can I please have the answers to the above questions and also some insights in the use of this addon in P3Dv4. Thanks guys and regards to all Tony Apologies. I know that the PMDG is actually more expensive and I meant to say that it is close to the price of the PMDG 737 and in fact that even with the GTN mod it is nowhere near the quality and or complexioty of the PMDG aircraft range.

OK then, since I don't have those manuals, could it be possible to any of you Gents to answer to my two queries : 1. What do those three main panel buttons next to MCP stand for (ACPT, RJCT, CANC) ? 2. How can I insert in the FMC TAKEOFF REF page 2/2 LSK5 the WET rwy entry ? If I just hit LSK5 nothing happens, if I enter in lieu of -----/DRY any entry with this format, it replies "INVALID ENTRY".

Your query was very clear; I’m not sure how it was misunderstood To answer your question, they take 25% If you sell exclusively on their platform; if you sell on multiple platforms they take 30%. They will assist with your installers/security requirements, if needed. In this capacity, they’re more of a broker then distributor...

Long story short: After having tried all kinds of flight tracking clients available, I'm left with noone that suits my needs as I'm looking for something that is tailored for cargo flights. I've looked at tweaking and subterfuging the existing clients into what I want, but at best it seems like a bad emergency fix. This is why I've decided to roll my own flight tracking client, and in that regard I have some questions for the PMDG staff. One of my use-cases revolves around temperature sensitive cargo, i.e. medical supplies, etc. If one were to fly with that kind of cargo on board (radio isotope contrast fluids, for instance), rigid temperature control in the cargo compartment has to be observed. Now, the pilots can do that themselves easilly, but I need the tracker to be able to query the aircraft about the current cargohold temperature programmatically. This leaves me having to ask if there is any PMDG SDKs I can use or any APIs I can query for this particular information. The aircrafts I intend to use are primarilly the 747-8f and 777F for P3d v4.4. I would be happy to sign any NDAs for this if required.

Vertxsim DA62 and Little Nav Map: P3D v4.4.
rudi0310 replied to haseen's topic in The Prepar3d Forum
Dear Haseen, thanks for the feedback. I can not say anything regarding "Sors", sorry, using FSAerodata here. I did not check that at VGHS so far using FSAerodata. From what you post, I do not know for sure if you armed really the approach or if you have set up ILS manually. To name only one question arising here regarding your query. Most time I try to answer such questions it ends up in that I perform several test flights regarding the flight plan in question and at other airports/under different conditions to compare. All in all most time work for several hours. This represents my understanding on how to process such queries. I produced these videos, 110+ hours of work. And took care of the AVSIM community during pre-release, during the "release night" and after release. And perform beta tests. All in all a "24/7" task. I try to help were I can, but have to limit that in time from now, regarding the actual conditions. There are other tasks I have to take care for also. I ask the AVSIM community for understanding. I am a beta tester on a volunteer base. Regards, Rudi, South West Germany -
[06JAN19] PMDG 747 QOTSII Updated 3.00.9195 via Ops Center
overspeed3 replied to rsrandazzo's topic in PMDG General Forum
Yesterday, I queried whether doing the new update would make improvements to either FSX or FSX-Steam users: I was informed on that particular posting that this current update was only meant for P3D v4 users. What I failed to mention was that my Operations Center message board has a brand new reminder that an update is available for the FSX 747-8. I am now confused - why do I have that message, and what will it specifically update on the 747-8 ???
