Werewolf13 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'm looking to upgrade my default MS C-208B to a better more accurate flight model, panels/switches, purty would be nice and would prefer one that doesn't cause a frame rate hit. Recs? I'd also like to get a medium sized commercial airliner that can haul passengers or cargo. 727 looks good as well as the 757. I've found the Captain Sim for the 727 and 757 and Quality Wings for the 757 but am certainly not locked into either brand. What would y'all recommend. I've got a medium-high performance system but to be honest if I can keep frames above 30 I'd be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werewolf13 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Soooo... I went ahead and bought the Quality Wings Ultimate 757. Nice package except for one thing. It comes with Conduit - which is - to be nice - borderline malware and spyware for sure. MalwareBytes flags it that way and I've had every spyware package I've used for years flag it as spyware. On installation of the 757 MalwareBytes caught it. I chose to quarantine the conduit file flagged and move on. Package appeared to install just fine. NOT! When loading up FSX it went essentially haywire. After 2 tries with no joy I decided to see if it was the 757 package. I restored the conduit file from MalwareBytes and tried reloading FSX again. Everything took. Imagine that. I'm not unhappy with the content - I am unhappy with Quality Wings for forcing conduit on me. Needless to say - Quality Wings won't be getting anymore of my money.

PPSFA Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I have had the QW 757 for years, there is no such thing as 'conduit' associated with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inky160 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 As you may know already, Conduit is a Browser Hijacker. Most likely not effecting FSX. If you "restored Conduit", then the file "cltmng.exe" will change your desired home page browser settings to use Conduit software. Browser hijackers like Conduit typically display ads and redirects users to the Conduit website. If Quality Wings is a "safe" site, I'd be checking recent web or email downloads which may have had the "cltmng.exe" file embedded. A little off FSX topics but I would be interested to know how you got rid of it :) Ron RAM: Team T-Force 32GB CPU: RYZEN 7 3700X 8-Core 3.6 GHz (4.4 GHz Max Boost) Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 super C Drive: M.2 SSD 1.0tb CPU Air Cooler: DEEPCOOL GAMMAX GTE V2, PSU: Bronze 600W, Flight Stick: Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS, W10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f16jockey_2 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Had a similar issue with the Qualitywings BAe 146/Avro RJ package. Some gauges were considered being malware and blocked by Iobit Malware Fighter, resulting in a CTD when selecting the AC in the selection screen. I trusted QW, and uninstalled Iobit Malware Fighter. One has to make choices, I chose for QW, much to my satisfaction btw. Can't tell if the QW 757 has the same issue, as I purchased and installed it later, with Iobit already uninstalled. Not gonna test that either, but apparently it has. Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingnorris Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I bought mine from flightsim's store. (On sale). No issues at all.

I quarantined it - that was one of the options. Had to unquarantine it to get the package to fully install and run. The next day I scanned the Quality Wings folder that was installed in the FSX directory and there it was (as expected since I unquarantined it). Figured I try quarantining the file since I'd successfully installed already and everything worked. This time FSX loaded OKAY. Annoying to say the least. But that Conduit file was definitely in the FSX/Quality Wings/ folder. I imagine its used for the funky add-on manager that comes with the package.

PPSFA Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I would love to see a screenshot of that QW file folder, there is absolutely NO 'Conduit" file in mine, or anywhere else on my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
