    Hi Bob, I'll message management and ask them whether anything has changed, but I've just tried two different service providers (3 mobile and Virgin Media) here in the UK and both have been able to connect without any issues. It does sound like a DNS update issue still, but it is weird that two different DNS services can't find it at the same time. Far from impossible, but a bit odd! Cheers, Ian P.

    I just managed to download OK from the "Updated Modules" thread - I suspect it was just a transient problem while a DNS table was updated somewhere. Cheers, Ian P.

    It would be better to send Kev a private message with your e-mail address, bazvink. If you hover your mouse over his username at the top left of his post (the "707fan" in blue), there's an option there to "PM this member". It would be better to send it like that, privately, than post it on an open public forum. Cheers, Ian P. Forum Admin.

    Airbus Vnav

    Ian P replied to mllgrennman's topic in Airplanes

    It gives you an ability to briefly rapidly climb or descend, for example to avoid a conflict with another aircraft. In the real aircraft, the systems will stop you from reaching the stall, but that's apparently quite difficult to achieve in FSX coding, as every Airbus I've met yet has stalled or overspeeded when using Expedite. Cheers, Ian P.

    Comodo is a Firewall package, Pete. What a lot of security software does now, rather than just blacklisting software that it doesn't recognise, is runs it in a "sandbox", where you can execute the application (e.g. an installer) to, basically, a virtual machine - it "extracts" it to a temporary store, rather than allowing it to write to the live Windows file system, Registry, etc. During this process it scans for "undesirable activity" and if it doesn't find any, it usually offers the user a choice to run the application 'properly'. Norton and Symantec both do it, as well, now. Like with all the hysterical, sorry, "heuristic", detections, I've never heard of one actually catching a piece of zero-day malware, but no-one has come up with a better method yet! To be honest, sandboxing is lot better than just blacklisting. Ian P.

    FSUIPC4 licenses are valid for all FSUIPC 4.xxxx versions. Cheers, Ian P.

    Because the gauges in the Aerosoft Airbus products are manually coded and do not use FS functions, you'll almost certainly need to use LUA to read and write local variables in order to do that. Ian P.
  10. Ian P
    The "Local" in LVars refers to the fact that they are unique to that add-on, rather than "global", referring to the entire sim. As an aside, you might like to check out LINDA (http://www.fs-linda.com/) which may already include the LVars for the Airbus packages. Unfortunately I don't use it (LINDA, that is - I do use the 'Buses) so I cannot say for sure. Cheers, Ian P.

    There are examples of how to read and write Local Variables (LVars) in the documentation, which can be found within the "Modules" directory of your FSX installation. Cheers, Ian P.

    Hi. Have you checked that there isn't a dialogue box asking for permission to do something (e.g. to run the FSUIPC module), hidden behind the FSX:SE splash screen and/or the Steam window? Press alt-tab to cycle through open windows to make sure. If it isn't that, then I'm afraid Pete is away at the moment, but if you can post the contents of your FSUIPC log file, someone else may be able to help. Cheers, Ian P.
  13. Ian P
    Hi. Sorry for the delay in approving your post. Unfortunately Pete is away at present and I was travelling (or, well, stuck in a traffic jam!) for most of yesterday. Unfortunately, I'm not a cockpit builder (nor a LUA programmer) myself, just the forum admin, so I'll leave those with more knowledge and experience to answer your question. Ian P.
  14. Ian P
    The fact that you have changed e-mail addresses doesn't matter. If you purchased a license for FSUIPC4 then it will remain valid and will work with your original details on both FSX DVD and FSX SE (and Prepar3D...) Please make sure that you are entering your details exactly as per the original order - copy and paste from your simMarket order details if possible - and it will work. Ian P.

    Ah! That's a new one for me, thanks for letting us know. When starting FSX, it usually sets Windows desktop back to "basic" mode, which disables Aero. I'm not sure why yours wouldn't be doing that, but as FSX has never been overly happy running alongside Aero desktops, that would make sense. Glad it's working! Cheers, Ian P. (Who's still a grumpy Smartie, sorry. ;))
