  1. Hi all, 

    I have recently been experiencing some crashing in p3dv5.4 and so I enabled fsuipc6 autosave function but I am unable to load an autosaved flight. I enabled the autosave and used the pre-set times but also enabled save on the ground.  However when I try and load an autosave flight ( I try and load the last autosave), it keeps asking me if I want to move aircraft to the departure airport and when I select no, because I want to continue from when the crash happened it just puts me back into the sim without having done anything.

    Could someone please explain how I am supposed to load an autosave, I did read the section in the user manual under autosave but it doesn't tell you, just says that autosaves are saved in the sims data file folder.  I know the autosaves are stored in the documents/prepar3d files folder but I am unable to load from there either.

    Many thanks,

    Rory

  2. Hi all,

     

    I recently bought fsuipc 6 for p3dv5.2 ( already have fsuipc 5 in my p3dv4.5 install on another drive).  However I can't seem to find the makerunways exe?  I know that with p3dv52 fsuipc 6 is installed outside the root folder, onto the C drive, but I still cant find it there either.  Should there be one or is it not needed in p3dv5.2?

     

    many thanks,

  3. Hi pete and all,

     

    I have a registered copy and latest update of fsuipc 5 - version 5.140.  I only use it to calibrate my goflight TQ6-adv throttles.  I have created profiles for the ifly 737-800 and ifly 747-400 and also have done a calibration for the default B737-800 (FSX which I installed).  I am using P3Dv4.2.  I also have the Saitek rudder pedals but these are not assigned via fsuipc.  However, with all 3 of my profiles when I press the left toe brake on the rudder pedals it activates the throttles, to full.  Braking again drops the throttles back to idle again but as soon as I take my feet off the brakes the throttles are back up to full.

    I have checked through the control settings in P3D but can find nothing obvious there other than the rudder pedals axis assignments.  As stated, I have only the GF throttles calibrated in fsuipc and nothing else.  Interestingly, when I disable controllers in P3D this problem still occurs.

    Have you any suggestions as to what I can try to do to solve this problem?

     

    Many thanks,

    Rory

  4. Volker,

     

    I have run the database manager again and saved the support folder to my desktop.  However when I try and send it via my talktalk email it wont let me select the whole folder. Can you be more specific as to which files I should send to you?  I could send each file separately but this would mean sending several emails.

    Oh, and I read the " about us ".  I'm impressed, and wish I'd read it a long time ago.

  5. Hi Volker,

     

    Please accept my apologies, although to be fair I did say which OS and flight sim I was using.  So......

    FSX Gold Edition with Acceleration which includes sp2.

    Windows 7, 64bit.

    Navigraph AIRAC 1803.

    fsuipc 4.972

    Not using WideFS.

    Not networked.

    FSC version 9.7.

    Database Manager version 10.0 rev 2, build 20.02.2018.

    5 monitors and 1 projector.

     

    I use FSC exclusively to plan my flights.  I don't use the moving map display or have my flightplans show up in Google.

    Oh, and I'm a fairly old guy too :) - big 60 Sept next year!

     

    So, any idea's on why the UK is only showing 1 "City", which turns out to be a lighthouse on a Scottish Island.

     

    Many thanks,

  6. Hi all,

     

    As the title says,when I select United Kingdom its only showing 1 city in the "city" box.  This problem didn't exist on my previous versions of fsc.  If I search by ICAO code then it finds the airport, eg EGCC Manchester, then the whole list of airports is then populated.  It's not a major issue, granted, but it exists nonetheless.  The single City that's shown is Muckle Flugga! This incidentally doesn't show up in the list once I've searched by ICAO code. Strange.  Any ideas?  I'm using FSX Gold edition and all updates are present. Win 7 64 bit.

     

    Many thanks,

  7. Hiya all,

     

    Three weeks ago I flew on holiday to New York and then back.  So, of course I want to replicate the flight in FSX.  However, when trying to create a flightplan using a NAT, I am unable to come close to matching the real world flight time. The flight out took around 7 and half hours, but the flight time indicated in FS9 is always around 6 hours, or 6 hours and about ten mins. It doesn't seem to matter which track I choose either.  Monitoring the outbound flight via the flight tracker on the aircraft, the route flown is pretty much as it is when choosing a NAT in FS9.

    So, can someone explain why there is such a difference in times?  Even allowing for a headwind all the way, I can't see it causing the real flight to be 1 and half hours longer.

    I'm using FSX gold edition, win 7, 64 bit, Flight sim commander version 9.6.

     

    Thanks,

  8. Hiya all,

     

     

    I'm wanting to create a flightplan from Manchester to Barbados, however when I create a flightplan in FSC it doesn't appear to create a more direct route, rather it flies down over Spain and Portugal.  So, for a high altitude plan the total distance is 5412 miles with a flight time of over 11 hours.  Does this seem a logical and realistic route?  I ask because when I have viewed a similar flight on FlightAware for Thomas Cook, the distance is 4390 miles and a flight time of 8 hours, and this does show a more direct route.

     

    Without having to select each waypoint separately, am I able to recreate a similar more direct route?

     

    I'm using version 9.6 and FSX.

     

    Thanks,

  9. Hi all,

     

     

    I have downloaded and tried the demo version.  In single screen windowed mode I noticed a considerable improvement.  However, with my normal FSX setup, I fly in full screen mode across 5 screens and one projector - 6 outlets in total.  When I tried to switch to full screen mode after starting FSX and the demo, it wouldn't let me go to full screen mode.

     

    does anyone have a possible solution to this or is Fibre not suitable for full screen multi monitor/projector use?

     

    I use the 5 monitors for 2D panels and instruments, and the outside view is via the projector. I attach pic to show.

     

    Cheers,

  10. Hi,  I've recently bought FSX Booster 2013 - can't really say I've noticed much difference really, still get stutters - However, due to previous issues, I like to run FSX as administrator (right click prog icon and click "run as administrator").  It appears that I can't do this from FSX Booster. Is there a way this can be done? I know I can run FSX Booster as administrator but not sure if this is the same.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Rory
