G'day, I am currently trying to connect to my mate in the Majestic Q400, using Shared Cockpit. However, when we connect he says he sees a single bar of connection and I do not see any green bars, he can also pull switchs and move flight controls that I can see but I am not able to do any of that. This seems like there is a one way connection even though we have both port-forwarded, put the correct ports in the control panels. We tried each person as master and loaded into the same livery at the same location at airports. My mate is using FSX-SE and I am using Prepar3D if that makes any difference. Thanks.

Hi,I have a couple of questions related to AS 2012 & PMDG 737 NGX.1) I plan a flight, for example, from EETN to LKPR (CRZ ALT F400). When I need to know what the CRZ TAS is going to be, I have to know the OAT in that level -- then I calculate speed mach 1 (in kts) according to that OAT and multiply it by the mach number which is going to be my CRZ (ECON from FMC); the speed that is economical for me in F400 is mach 0.782 … that's why I need accurate OAT -- BUT here I see the problem: For filling T/C OAT in FMC, I always find any airport that is located near by the T/C point (seen from NavDisplay), then I write this ARPT (ICAO) to the Active Sky (Wx Report) to see the TEMP at the required FL (under the symbols of weather, there are wind and temperature information for certain altitudes -- 3K, 6K, 9K, … 49K) -- so from that I can read that e.g. in 39K feet the OAT is –57.4 °C etc. According to that temps, I calculate the OAT for 40,000 ft (which is sometimes higher than in lower FLs -- possible?) -> I put that temp. to this http://www.csgnetwor...achonecalc.html and just calculate the mach 1 speed according to that temp, and then multply it by e.g. 0.782 -> I find out that my CRZ speed (that I also fill in the FPL) is going to be +- 447 KTAS. … well, as soon as I reached F400, I saw in FMC that the OAT was much lower, approximately –77 °C, so my airspeed then was a bit lower, e.g. just 425 KTAS and not 447 as I had been expecting… But if I check the weather at AS (locked to nearest ARPT), I can see there's just written something like 39K & –55.8, 44K & –57.4 --- so how is it possible that I have so much lower OAT than everywhere is issued? -- now I mean also this: http://jeppesen.com/...ion-weather.jsp -- also showing the TEMP if you open the wind forecast -- e.g. FL390 & showing –55 °C, but in FMC I can see OAT –77 °C…So, I'd like to know if the AS (and then aslo the JEPP. weather) shows the OAT correctly (-> then there must be any problem with FSX/PMDG), or if the OAT that shows FMC is correct. (But I suppose there shouldn't be any incorrect entry in the JEPP. weather maps.) :)And why do I need to know it?Well, just because I don't like when something is not working as it should / is not accurate, then also to fill the CORRECT CRZ airspeed to the FPL, and finally, when I calculate the EETs to FIRs, then it's not accurate (according to the planned TAS & actual TAS -- even if the wind is calm).P.S. I'm not using FSInn, but Squawkbox with Weather settings OFF.And the second, last, not so long question: :)2) Is it very important to have very quick internet connection to get the actual METARs on time (with minimum delay)? Because I have Wifi connection and sometimes it's delayed up to 20 min. -- it's 10:20 Z and I still have valid METAR from 09:30 Z (instead of 10:00 Z). And just one more note: In AS 2012 settings, I have set Automatic Downloads (+ VATSIM Online Weather) to every 5 min., but if I look on Wx Report, I can see “Last Updated: 00:15” and now it's 00:43 -> so “Last Updated” should now be showing +- 00:40 (update every 5 mins.); am I correct? (if yes, why is it not?)Thank you very much in advance!Adam

Hey. I have a problem. My FSX requires an activation key, but when I enter the key, the key doesn't seem to connect. I've entered the key a lot of times before, but this time, something went wrong. I reinstalled FSX, because I had problems with it. My FSX:Acceleration key doesn't seem to work either... Is my key expired or anything? Can I contact microsoft and get the keys updated, or just get some new keys? Please help... :Praying: :Praying:

Hi all!! good evening!. This afternoon, i tried to share the PMDG 737 cockpit using desk pilot 1,43 but it didn't work. I followed all the steps, but when my friend pressed connect, I didn't recive the fsx notification. My frind says that he see when he press connect bottom that it changes in disconnect but in a few second, it changes again in connect bottom. We both have installed SP1 and we choose the same model of PMDG 737. We have just some thing differents, weather, scenery and airac but i don't think that them might cause a connection problem. P.S. i created the session using Hamachi. Regards from Italy.

hello. I use Joikuspot for connection to internet via my old mobile phone (n93). i can surfing good with pc. But i can access to Vatsim with VRC. i imagine the joikuspot could not access to ip based address such as http://18.9.22.169 addresses i need a bit help, joikuspot did not answer, and will i connect to vatsim with vrc via joikuspot?

Today I got suddenly the message (from Kaspersky) that the connection is not secure. Are more members getting this message? Looking at the certificate it tells me that it is not valid anymore (from 24-9-2019 to 23-10-2020). Should I ignore or do something else? Have a nice day, Wil

Hi when i try to connect Little Navmap 2.4.4 -FSX/N with my Simulator, I only get the Option: Connect directly to local X-Plane Simulator. The option connect to a local FSX.... is missing in the Connect Dialog. I use FSX with Acceleration Pack, and X-Plane is not installed on my PC. What is wrong with my FSX that it is identified as XP?🤭 What can I do? LIttle Navmap is great. A connection would be super too! Thanks for any help Jochen
