... I started FSX and ...

Did you notice the "Rebuilding scenery..." (or whatever?) pop-up?

... what it saved in the Addon Scenery folder...

It should actually be saved in the Addon Scenery\scenery ​folder, but maybe that's what you meant?

Wim

I have crash detection off ‘cos of airport traffic collisions.

Btw if you make a bad landing even without crash detection, you’ll know!!!

Wim

But in flight at 170 knots, I get a fuel warning about every 2 to 3 minutes. Whether I hit CNTL + X or not, the fuel quantities in the aircraft remain unchanged and are at adequate levels.

That's a message from FSX Flying Tips?

If so, just turn them OFF in Settings/Realism.

IMO they're not made for anything just a tiny bit out of standard/stock.

Wim

He mentions: "Fmc honeywell". (And I think there is only a freeware honeywell.)

He didn't mention "freeware". I have the payware ISG gauges, which include a Honeywell.

He also mentions: 737-800-NG.

Which for me stands for Next Generation or NextGen, a term introduced by Boeing, not PMDG.

Anyway, in the end when/if the OP reacts, we'll all learn that he tries to fly the PMDG 737NGX with it's genuine PMDG FMC, and he forgot to push the LNAV button :rolleyes:.

Wim

The freeware honeywell fmc only shows the flightplan from the fsx flightplanner menu. It is not for manually programming waypoints in flight.

For planning in flight you will have to use the fmc that comes with that pmdg 737 ng.

For what sake would anyone combine the freeware FMC and the PMDG 737NGX?

Neither products are mentioned by the OP btw...

@OP: more info please...

Wim

Lemme guess: you had a taildragger as default aircraft.

Wim

... being basically a compilation of pirated software ...

You’re confusing with Ice AI.

Very off topic btw...

Wim

Finally have traffic, problem now is that even though set correctly in FSX settings the flying aircraft don't display. Red designators of type, etc, on the screen, just the strobes and navigation lights. Any suggestions? Thanks

Try unchecking “Aircraft cast ground shadows”.

Or leave it, and check at an airport for which you have no addon scenery installed.

Wim

What I've learned from this thread: I will never ever again give remarks concerning "stock data", as my stock data has changed.

I regularly update my sim scenery database from the known Hervé Sors website, here are my findings:

- in "my sim" (let's call it that for now) Sunshine Coast has been renamed to YBSU, and still has ATIS 119.80

(from 2010 on, that's historically correct)

(pic from LittleNavMap, which reads the local FSX database)

- in "my sim" Brisbane has no conflicting freqs on 119.80.

If you check current YBBN charts, you'll see these freqs are actually up-to-date.

(pic from LittleNavMap as well)

As said, just my thoughts...

Never would have noticed this otherwise. I never sim fly in Australia.

Wim

Parking codes are for Airlines, not aircraft types.

If you mean Parking Radius, I’d take 33m to be safe.

Parking type GATE or RAMP (or both)

Wim

I have another 1 for you

???

Another one for YOU imo ;).

As you've solved the previous one through Traffic Global (no details given), and the jammed freq is 119.80 again (I don't believe in coincidences) you'll be able to solve this one as well, me thinks.

I don't have Traffic Global and not planning to get it, but I did some reading.

If I was you, I'd have a closer look at C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\TrafficGlobal\AirportFacilities folder, to see what magic the developers are performing there.

Wim

Gold = Deluxe + Acceleration.

Deluxe also has more aircraft than Standard, and includes the SDK as well.

Wim

I've opened stock KMGE with ADE, and can't find a trace of ATIS in the default airport.

So my guess is you have an addon active?

Find it, disable it temporarily and you'll be able to complete your flight.

Wim

Oh yes, lots and loys of ORBX scenery

Running FTX Central just once could solve this IIRC.

Wim

Sorry to contradict all other replies.

When I bought my SSD, I got depresssed by the eventuality of having to reinstall some/all my addons.

Moved the whole bunch to the SSD, then made a symbolic link to the original location on my D: drive.

Had to reinstall nada, everything works...

Wim

Aerosoft papeete

From the AeroSoft forums:

"Search for a file called TahitiX_AirTraffic.bgl on your system..."

No further indications on where to find it, but I guess you'll manage? Just rename it to *.bgl.bak

[EDIT]It's in \Scenery\World\scenery if my german doesn't fool me

Wim

Or there is an addon with a special trafficfile. Or the aircrafts are static models?

+1.

Are you using an addon for Papeete?

Wim

Is it possible in FSX to view Traffic like in FS9 when using the SDK Traffic Toolbar?

Jive1 - Belgium

Yes.

First prerequisite is a correct installation of the FSX SDK.

You need FSX Deluxe or Acceleration. Dunno about Steam.

Installation is explained here

https://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=SDK_Installation_(FSX)

Read the article a number of times before actually starting, then follow it TO THE LETTER.

Wim (also Belgium)

You don't need to edit anything, just learn the difference between Indicated Airspeed, True Airspeed and Ground Speed.

Wim

You've downloaded an A330 without VC.

I'm not interested in the download location/link, but maybe others are.

Wim

A couple years ago, Microsoft installed Windows 10 Pro on my computer over Windows XP Professional which I was using. They did this without my knowledge or without my permission when I was away from the computer a few hours.

An automatic upgrade from XP to W10 was never provided by Microsoft.

No idea why you're looking for excuses for running W10.

Wim

Did you try turning off aircraft shadows?

Made that suggestion already in his other thread

https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?317350-AI-not-showing-up-at-certain-Add-on-airports

Wim

1:World of Ai

2:EHAM and LOWW are flytampa and EDDF is aerosoft

3:No

Wow, except for Schiphol, that’s my setup as well.

Just one thought: some airport scenery installers give the option between “Static traffic” and “Airlines”.

Do you remember if you had that option and if so, did you choose “Airlines”?

Personally, I can’t remember it from my install...

Wim

a) what AI package(s) are you using?

b) what addons are you using for the airports?

c) is “Aircraft casts ground shadows” enabled?

Wim

I’ll see it when/if it gets there.

All the fuzz based on a promo video reminds me of MS Flight.

Have other nuts to crack ‘til 2020.
