Thanks for the responses so far here is my system spec: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (UAC is disabled, Highmem Fix is in fsx.cfg) i5 quad core 3GHz (not overclocked) 8Gb DDR3 memory (max that will fit on Asus mobo) Nvidia Geforce 750 GTX OC Storm (2GB DDR3) Other FSX software running : Active Sky Next Ultimate Traffic 2 FUISPC Those are the only things i usually have running whilst initialising FSX Gold SP2

Hi Guys i hope we are all well... Not been doing much flying lately as im slowly recovering from a badly fractured foot but i was wondering if i could pick someones brains.. I have a problem with FSX Gold Ediiton (non Steam) where if i have done a pc reboot i can load FSX no problems... if it crashes or after i have finished flying and close it down properly i cant open FSX again as it throws up this message (hopefully the image displays ok) then closes... The only way i can open FSX again is to do a reboot. Any ideas on how i fix this? from memory i ha

Apologies of its late but here is my first ever entry. An Aeroflot Airbus A318 I had installed the freeware Airbus collection and thought i would have my 1st look at a "Big Bird". I had just gone thru the engine start up from Cold & Dark at Gatwick ! it took me about 30 minutes to get both engines fired correctly and thought i would take a screeny as i was blown away by the level of detail. The paintjob is stunning. Best wishes Glenn

Id recommend just Flights excellent Fokker F27 Friendship 100/200/300 .. A superbly modelled aircraft with a feel for yester year or something a bit newer the excellent the Alabeo C404 Titan (one of my birthday purchases) Best wishes Glenn

Hi Joe, Im just about to buy the Saitek Pro Flight Multi Panel with my birthday money tomorrow so not all bad. As for rudder and brakes... Unfortunately i have to use auto rudder ( not good i know but i have to remember im limited by my disability.. but the plus side is that i can use the blue lever on the throttle quadrant as my 2nd engine throttle..seeing as i mostly fly turbo prop twins it works for me ) as for brakes i have a button on the left handle of the Saitek Pro Flight yoke that operates as a brake.. Best wishes Glenn P.S Now happy to take offers on the Saitek Pro F

Hi Guys, I bought a very good condition used Saitek Pro Flight system today but due to my spinal injuries I can't use the rudder pedals. So I'd like to sell them for a reasonable offer or swap for a Saitek Radio panel or Multi panel. Best wishes Glenn

Hi guys, Well I've fixed it ! Looking on gumtree someone in my town was selling this (as it turns out he lived in the next road over!) : Woohoo an early birthday present! The Saitek Pro Flight yoke, rudder pedals, Switch unit are all in fantastic condition and I now have twin throttles using the blue lever as engine 2 throttle. I'm also able to set reverse thrust for the first time which is a real bonus and very handy on very short runways. The switch panel is fantastic For £120 I think I got quite the bargain. Obviously I can't use the rudder pedals due to my spinal problems so I'll se

Hi Guys, I hope your all well. I'm having so much fun flying and learning procedures. I've joined a couple of VA's and this is exponential ibcreased my FSX enjoyment. I'm fairly well setup now with my weather being ASN for the engine and REX4 for the textures - results are amazing. Flight logging and planning by FS Flight Keeper. My flight system is pretty good being a Saitek X52 Flight System which works well for me but I'd really like twin throttles as I'm mostly flying twin props / turbo props so just wondered what my options are for twin engine control...... Could a throttle from the S

BritFrog, I will always remember a Lancaster bomber as last year we had one fly over for the annual Bournemouth Beach Air Festival. It must of took off from Bournemouth International (EGHH - about 10 mins away from me) and i remember thinking what the heck was that rumbling earlier in the morning. We often hear engine run ups etc first thing as Flight Refueling have a hangar on the airport were they service engines.. then on the day around lunchtime there was this almighty noise getting louder and louder and louder. Having never heard a bomber fly before i didn't have a clue what it was. T

Hi hifly, Yes I bought the Majestic dash 8 pilot edition last week but I've said to myself that I'm not going to install it until I'm a little more familiar with FSX and flight rules so I can really enjoy it. The Just Flight Fokker F27 looks superb as I saw Flightsimcapt481's excellent pre release video... Wow she is a beauty and definitely on my Have To Buy list .. I'll check out the Heron thanks for the tip. Izojub : thank you for that link I'll have a look this evening and see what they offer. BritFrog : I couldn't agree more.. Even the wife commented on how nice the Islander sounds! (Th

Well thanks to the superb advice here I found the correct UIAUTOMATIONCORE.DLL for win 7 64bit, installed it in my fax folder and wooohooo! I've just managed 2 flights in the lovely Flight1 BN-2 Islander from Bembridge to Old Sarum without a single crash. Using the lovely old KLN 90A GPS unit was a dream and I was constantly swapping windows between the virtual cockpit and the autopilot window.. I must of changed the view at least 20-30 times and not 1 single crash. Thank you all. Time to find some other "Old Quirky Birds" as I have a passion for old twin engine turbo props like the island

Sometimes I find that engines (turbo props) need a little gas over IDLE to help them fire and stay lit. Not sure why this as but I'm sure a technically minded engine specialist can explain.. If I don't throttle at all (0% Throttle) the majority won't stay fired. Might be that the engines need a positive flow of minimal fuel to get them working correctly. I'm not technically minded but it's just my thought on it. Let us know how you get on.. Best wishes Glenn

Hi Nigel and all, Sadly I'm one of those disabled people who sadly have had their life limited by an illness. I was born with a rare bleeding condition which gives me spontaneous internal bleeds (into joints, muscle, soft tissue eventually "locking out" the area affected. I worked until 1994 when I had a triple massive bleed that has left me with L4-L5 prolapse, T4-T5 displaced, chronic nerve damage in my lower back and partially paralyzed left leg. At 24 I was medically retired. I'm now 42 and have to use a wheelchair. After dabbling a little bit here and there with FSX I've now got the wis

Hi Guys (and Gals if your reading , I'm wondering if someone can offer some advice. My PC is quite modern i5 quad core 3.1, 8 gab DDR3, Nvidia GeForce 750 GTX OC Storm graphics card running windows 7 ultimate 64bit OS. Now I have been running fsx gold edition (has accelerator in it) and am constantly getting fatal crashes when changing views from VC To panels, VC to outside etc. I only have the initial game in at the moment and have installed FSX then run it up for a few seconds, rebooted PC. Installed accelerator (which installs sp2) run it up in a flight for a few seconds, reboot PC. Then
