  1. I have been having some trouble in loading FSC plans to the Quality Wings 757. I know it would have been a much smoother and successful process if during the saving of a FSC flight plan that QW aircraft could have been loaded. I had thought that they (QW) would have to arrange for themselves to be included similarly as is PMDG, Level D and I Fly. However, Ernie Alston informed me that you (FSC) could add them at any time without contacting them if you wished to. With a couple of more additions of theirs coming out in the coming months it seems to me, that it would be a plus for all if they were included. Is it possible? Would you consider Quality Wings?

    .............and by the way, I'm in no way connected to Quality Wings except as a satisfied customer. Same as I am with Fight Sim Commander.

  2. In trying to install the Airac 1105 I no longer seem to have the option of where to extract (FS9 or FSX). The installer automatically chooses FS9 which is not what I use. I use FSX. How do I get around this problem?

    I'm using Windows XP, SP3 and FSX SP2 (no acceleration).

    I'd appreciate any help on this odd little problem.

  3. I bought FSC V9 on 1/24/2011 (yesterday) from Aerosoft. I downloaded and installed with no problems as far as I can tell. I attempted to register using Aerosoft's registration form - correctly I think. However, my FSC 9 still shows as an unregistered program. I posted on another Aerosoft forum about this problem but apparently that was the wrong location to do so.

    I have not deleted and reinstalled as yet. My order number is 250178. My system is Windows XP/SP3 - FSX/SP2.

    I'd appreciate any help that would get the program registered properly.

    By the way I am/was a user of version 8.6.

  4. Hi Jack,

    what you describe is correct and fully intentional.

    Before you select a SID (same holds for STARs and transitions), the Display button does not do anything, and the Delete button is inactive, because there is nothing to delete. You can only select.

    From the list box you select one of more SIDs which you then see on the map window, so you can select the one most suitable. Note that you can only "add to flight plan" if a single SID has been selected. Trivially, you cannot add ´more than one. If you close the SID selection window, the previously selected SIDs are still visible and the Display button is checked. To make them invisible, you uncheck Display.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "prior view"

    Thanks for the reply. I understand, now. To tell you the truth, I've forgotten what I meant by "prior view". Couldn't have beenv ery important though.

  5. When trying to use SIDS in creating a flight plan from Toronto to Halifax a funny thing happened. The individual SIDS would only appear on screen after one was selected. No prior view. In the menu bar, only select was available. The display square was greyed out. Never saw this before at any airport. It didn't hurt the flight plan but is puzzling.

  6. I've posted this problem on the Super 80 forum site and had a few possible solutions. So far none have worked.

    The problem is that after I make a flight plan with FSC and try to open it within the Super 80, the FMS on the Super 80 won't allow me to load the flight plan as a company route. I've changed the path to the flight plans but to no avail. I have PMDG, CLS, Digital Fokker and many other freeware aircraft and this problem does not occur with any of them.

    I wonder if anyone has had a similar problem regarding the Super 80. I'm sure there is a solution but I've run out of ideas on this one.

    I realize that this is not necessarily an FSC problem but I thought that maybe someone has had some experience with this kind of problem.

  7. I'm a fairly new user of FSC and have found it a splendid addon but somewhat hard to figure out some aspects of the program. The most difficult (at least for me) has been the following:

    1. I can successfully make a flight plan within the FSC program with all waypoints etc. laid out.

    2. However, when I try to transfer the data to FSX and the various FMS modules, it routinely shows a variation from the plan that FSC has compiled. Usually, the 1st waypoint is reached ok but then the plan varies to something that FSC did not generate. Oddly enough, in many cases, the FS X flight planner data will show correct waypoints but eventually never goes to them.

    3. I suspect that in the end I'd reach my destination with that differnt flight plan but I've cancelled the flight long before that point.

    For the record, I've had the problem with PMDG MD 11, 747, Super 80 and various CLS aircraft.

    I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I can't figure out what. I hope someone out there can help me with this.
