It said I FSX Booster had a "Fatal Error" and closed.
-
I tried to run it, but it crashed before it got fully started. I had .Net Framework 3.5.1 installed, so it should have worked.
I updated my Windows7 Ultimate 64 to .Net Framework 4.0, but now the Booster Demo won't run because it already ran and crashed, so I have no idea whether it will even work on my computer.
I have uninstalled it and will wait until I hear from you.
Thank you,
Bob

So it is basically just setting sliders within FSX to what it determines is optimal, and not anything in the operating system. Is that correct? Well, never mind, I'm going to go ahead and try the demo first, since it only effects settings while it is running.

I was wondering about your FSX Booster. If I try this and don't like the result, will I be able to reverse what it does easily? Will it save my previous setup?

Hello Pete,
I'm having the same problem that I had a while back ago with FSUIPC.
I am using the latest updated FSUIPC (FSUIPC4 interim update version 4.548) and when I set controls for the different payware aircraft that I have, the last ones in the FSUIPC.ini file are disappearing or automatically being deleted, even to the point that it deletes half of the last profile that it will accept.
I get my controls set up the way that I like them, then when I start FSX the next time that aircraft has no controls.
You said last time that you had some kind of limiting buffer that you removed and it worked great. Now it is back the way it was before :(
Can you help with this? It makes it so I can only use FSUIPC on a few of my aircraft. This is very inconvenient.
Thank you,
Bob

I'm not sure in this case, but I believe some of the aircraft that use FADEC have separate .ini files that have to be read through MSFS.
The only thing that you have to do is not run your throttle controls directly through FSUIPC, but within the "Axis Controls", select them to be routed through FSX or FS9 (whichever be the case). Make sure that your joystick is enabled within FS Options, then fine tune your throttle controls inside FSUIPC.
When I come across something like this, and have to "Enable" joystick controls inside FS, I delete all other assignments in FS other than the throttles and set everything else to run directly through FSUIPC.

Thank you Volker. That worked great.
Thank you also for the greatest flight planning software ever made for any flight sim. I love FSC

Hello,
I just loaded FSC8.5 and the default weather URL seems to be bad. I copy/pasted it into my internet browser and it showed up as bad also. What is the correct URL for downloading weather into FSC8.5?
Thank you,
Bob
1. FSX or FS2004(FS9) = FSX
2. FSUIPC / WideFS version used = FSUIPC 4.50/WideFS v.7.52
3. FS Commander and Database Manager version used =FS Commander 8.5 / FSC8 Database
4. Aerosoft version or download version from our website = Aerosoft Download Version
5. Operating System (Vista32/64, XP, 2000) = Vista64

This thread was started in 2006. Are you folks at SimWings still planning on making your scenery compatible with FSX?
I would really love to see Palma De Mallorca made to work in FSX.
-
Will you be making Mallorca for FSX? There is a real need to have this airport in FSX. :D

I want to thank everyone again for all the ideas with these random flightplans. You have changed the way I sim.
Several times, I have gotten flight plans from a random flight on Flight Aware and copy/paste the route string into FSC8 and Bingo! my flight plan is made.
This is a great feature that I just discovered.
Yesterday I open Vroute and picked a flight from Bogota, Colombia to Mexico City. Copy/pasted the route string into FSC8 and in a fraction of a second, had a complete flightplan to import into FSX.
If everybody realized how great FSC8 is, they would all be using it. For me, it don't make sense to use anything else. FSC8 can do it all and is extremely user friendly.

Hello Pete,
I just wanted to let you know that the update fixed my problem and I don't have disappearing profiles anymore :D
Thank you very much for the great support of you little super program.
Bob
-
Thank you Pete. I have to see if I can find how to make the profiles your talking about. That sounds like it would help a lot and save time also.
Your support for this product is the best ever.
Thank you,
Bob
-
That would be fine Pete. These posts only allow 60000 words and the file has over twice that much.
I tried attaching the file as an attachment, but it won't allow it.
Is there some other way to get it to you?
Thank you,
Bob

According to Captain Sim's Forum it appears that the 757 is officially working correctly with 4.50 as that is what is installed by their update. And i notice several users are adamant that it all works okay.
It is working fine for me too. I'll check to see what interim updates are available and see if those will take care of my disappearing profiles and still work with CS 757.
-
Thank you Pete. I did update to 4.3 and it did make the whole aircraft more stable, so maybe now it will work with the latest versions of FSUIPC. I never tried it yet with anything later than v4.50.
I go to your website and set it up with the latest version and let you know if everything still works.
Thanks,
Bob
-
Where do I find for sure what version I am using? The log files say it is v4.50.
-
I'll check on those "Profiles Facilities" to see what you are referring to. I thought I was making profiles when I assign buttons and axis to a specific aircraft. I always assign profiles to specific aircrafts, but it is the whole profile that is disappearing in the .ini file the next time I go to fly that aircraft, if that profile was at the bottom of the list on the .ini file.
I use 4.50 because I have Captain Sim's 757 and that is the latest version that it will use. It don't seem to work with the newer versions. I had to revert back to it in order to fly his aircraft, otherwise (with the newer versions) when you cut off the autopilot the plane will go wild.
FSUIPC is an outstanding program and even with this little problem I can always find a work around. I just don't know what I did before I learned to use the controls configeration in FSUIPC and I know that I still haven't explored all of the features within this program.
Thank you,
Bob
-
That sounds like fun too. :D I' ll definately be trying it.
It's really more realistic doing it that way because no airline pilot is going to go to work and say "Let's see. Where do I want to go today?"
If that were the case, everyone would be going to Hawaii and nobody would be coming back. :lol:
Thank you Bill,
Bob
-
Thank you very much Jean-Jacques. I do have Vroute, so between the two programs, it will do exactly what I'm looking for. :D

Hello,
I have FSUIPC4 and a lot of add on aircraft. Is there a limit to how many settings the .ini file will hold?
It seems like if I put a aircraft setting in now and close FSX, the next time I open it, the last setting that I have put in disappears.
If I put it in again, it will work until I close FSX again. Then it is gone. :shock:
Do I need to start keeping multiple .ini files in a separate folder to hold the settings for all my aircraft?
Thank you,
Bob

Hello,
I have FS Commander and several other flight planning software, but I feel FSC is far better for me because of it is very user friendly, yet the map is just like having dynamic sectional charts. I love the ability to measure distance and heading and instantly see coordinates by mouse placement.
I was thinking of a good feature that maybe would be easy to implement, if it isn't already in it and I'm just missing it.
Many times I get on my FS9 or FSX and my biggest question is "where to?". I think it would be great if FSC could have a complete random flight plan feature that would generate a city pair and complete flight plan (user could add SIDs and STARs).
All the user would have to do is select the type of aircraft whether they wanted a short, medium or long flight using VFR or IFR and high or low altitude, maybe even with an option feature that could select water runways, then hit "Go". The flightplan would be complete and a total surprise every time.
I don't know if this could be done, but I think it would be pretty cool. :D
Thanks,
Bob

Pete, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you :D
It works perfect now. That was exactly the problem. I went ahead and programmed the mixture idle and rich to the buttons on my CH throttle and now I can start and shut down my engines like the pros.
I know that you have received many compliments for FSUIPC but if you don't mind, I would like to add mine.
The version that I have now is the second one that I have purchased along with WideFS. As far as I'm concerned it is some of the best money that I have spent.
Every simmer needs to purchase a registered version of this program and take a little time (very little) to learn how to set up the controllers, buttons and keys through FSUIPC. They would never use FSX or FS9 default settings again. I guarantee it.
A lot of programs say that they raise the experience of flying in MSFS, but the registered version of FSUIPC really does live up to that promise. It is great!
I use it for every aircraft that I have. That is why I wouldn't accept that Captain Sim said I couldn't use it with his sim. It works perfect now and makes that 727 ready to fly for real.
Thank you,
Bob

I have done that already. The way that the Captain Sim 727 is made, you can't assign any control to the fuel cutoff switches that I know of.
I have been using FSUIPC for over a year without any problems. I assign all of my planes pretty much the same way without any problems at all. These fuel cutoff switches (just #1 and #2) are locked only when FSUIPC is functional.
I will try to remove the .ini file and see if I can reprogram it after it goes back to default. Captain Sim says that I shouldn't be using FSUIPC with this plane, but I don't understand why it would just lock up two of the fuel switches and not the third one.
I'll try it and get back to you. Thank you for your response.

FSX Booster Question
in FSPS Support Forum (LEGACY)
Posted
Hello Achilles,
I sent you an email. I'm sorry. I can't remember the exact wording of the error. I know that it said FSX Booster had a fatal error. I went ahead and checked for Windows updates and seen that .Net Framework 4.0 was available and ready to install, so I did it. Of course the Booster demo was expired.
