Did you read my post? Specifically the last paragraph where I talked about cleaning up the FSX save directory in the "My Documents" folder? 1) If after you purge your saved flight files in the way I instructed, and 2)The same airport gives this same (but very minor) center line offset or another airport does the same thing, then You should, A) Assume it's the model,

When I first started in FS2004 I immediately figured out how to use the GPS, but kept wondering if I always had to make corrections to my cross track error as I progressed or if there was an easier way? Latter I found out about the NAV/GPS switch which made life super easy. LOL!

I like to fly around the world. I'll fly for about an hour or till the next landing airport, land, taxi and save the flight. Next day I resume from that saved flight and continue on to the next destination. This process creates lots of saved flights. In my experience I have noticed that due to this things can get wonky after say the twentieth saved flight or something. Where the aircraft will start acting weird or I'll take off and notice things that don't work right which means I now have to end the flight, go into my FS save folder under the "My Documents" folder and delete all the previous saved flights. Now start again at that airport at the parking ramp or gate. So to help elevate this real pain in my rear, after my tenth flight or so I'll make sure to clear the junk out of the FS directory in the "My Documents" folder. Doing this regime I have yet to encounter a problem resuming from a saved flight. Just note that you don't accidentally want to delete your previous saved flight or the default flight. Keep the last .FSSAVE, .WX and .FLT files. That's what I do. Everything else you can toss. (Or archive and backup if you want I guess)... Utilize Windows' right click context menu of ordering items by date... The other possibility. That nice yellow center line you see on down the runway? That's just superficial and for appearances. The real center line is etched into the airport AFCAD. This center line is what AI will follow and what your plane WILL be placed on if you start on the runway. So, if this issue only occurs at one airport, assume the internal (so to speak) center line is off center. I'm thinking your issue is a clogged up Flight Simulator X Files folder in the "My Documents" folder. It could of course be the aforementioned crosswind loading bearing capable wheels. But you'd have to check if that capability is programed into the model you're using. Have fun, and remember.

I remember years ago lights using Shockwave technology. If these are Shockwave, well, that's mighty old technology and would require that software to be installed at the risk of a security issue. https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=Shockwave

Read post # 37. Every - last - bit - of - it. I don't know why, but on many forums all across the Internet that I'm a member of I post very specific and to the fact information or solutions to an issue and I'm completely bypassed time and time again. If you're looking for an easy way, there isn't. It's been striped out of Windows 10 and the solution from Github is the right way to bring it back into the core of the OS. I did mention that an update could hose the effort? I also mentioned alternatives?

I'll try to be concise here and in a way you might understand. First the underlying issue. The issue here is that Windows 10 doesn't allow the ability to read from optical media (Think CDs/DVDs) due to that optical media using a mechanism called Safedisk to protect that optical media from illegal copying. Safedisk was a very popular copy protection used by companies that distributed their software via optical media. Like video games and whatnot. While older operating systems like Windows 7 et al could read these copy protected disks that used Safedisk without issue, Microsoft in their infinite dogma of tricks decided Safedisk was a security threat and thus disabled the ability to read from a Safedisk protected CD or DVD in Windows 10. What that of course means is that if you try to install a game or some other software via a CD that is protected with Safedisk to prevent illegal duplication, Windows 10 won't allow you because the operating system simply doesn't have the needed components necessary to read these kind of CDs. The solution given here is to use an older operating system like Windows 7 that can read these CDs protected with Safedisk to install the software (in this case an add-on C-130 aircraft) and then just copy over those files to your Windows 10 FS2004 install. Does that make sense? I gave a solution on how to fix this permanently (well, until another glorious update hoses it all over again) and some other solutions from within the realm of borderline "dork" in that some people may need above average computing skills to accomplish. ==== dork mode on ==== Back in the day when I made digital copies of my own store bought games (remember Target and Walmart's glorious selection of boxed games?) so that they would run from the HDD directly for speed improvements on install and game launching, I first used something called A-Ray scanner to help determine the copy protection used in the optical media. Then I used a software called Alcohol 120% to make a copy of the optical media in a file format like ISO or what ever. Then when you wanted to install the game or play the game you just mounted the ISO with Alcohol 120%'s virtual optical drive and the game install ran right from your computer rather than a slow optical disk. It does get a little bit more complicated though in that in the latter years game developers started blacklisting virtual optical drives so that even IF you were able to make a 1:1 copy of the game you were never able to launch the game from your virtual drive. Well, that was fixed with software that tricked the game into not detecting a virtual optical drive was used in the first place. LOL! I laugh because this DRM (Digital Rights Management) thing for everything is always circumvented one way or another. Even with HDCP (High Definition Copyright Protection). That's just the nature of technology and it's a constant tit for tat mouse and cat game. Now today, damn near all games are delivered via streaming platforms like; Steam, Battle.net, Epic Games and what ever else may be out there. This has probably been a very successful platform compared to optical media delivered games in terms of profit because so many people use Steam and what have you. I have gaming friends that have at least ~300 games in their Steam library. If each game was on average $~30 US dollars (most are not, believe me), that's at least ~$9,000 dollars worth of gamage, yo! Per person! I could build at least 6 decent computes with that money! The company that owns Steam is Valve and their total equity according to Wikipedia as of this post is 10 billion. Valve is an LLC (Limited Liability Company), a private company and not traded on the stock market so that its not required to release financials to the public. Me thinks that's on purpose for reasons... LOL You thinks that's rather mad, then look into a Chinese company called Tencent. ==== dork mode off ==== Edit- Posted in 2017. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/heres-how-much-valve-boss-gabe-newell-is-reportedl/1100-6446990/

I could have sworn I had a bookmark to a website I long ago saw in the before time for aircraft manuals, but try as I might I not only couldn't find the bookmark, but even the website through Google. And I even narrowed my search down between a few years in the past when I found the website. It was sometime between 2007 and 2010 and the website was called boyd or boid something or other. I don't remember. On the other hand, I found this. And I've had this bookmarked for when I flew the PMDG 737. I was wondering if a certain ISBN range is issued to aircraft manuals and what not and apparently I think it is. https://www.books-by-isbn.com/0-88487/index1.html https://www.books-by-isbn.com/ I naively went and looked at that Stratocruiser manual thinking it would have an ISBN to go by for its range of other aircraft manuals, but found out ISBN was created in 1970! HAHA! PS: Sumatra is a great PDF reader. I use PDF-XChange myself because the editing is there and not in Sumatra. I even use the virtual PDF printer driver to "print" a document from a linked Internet source for my records rather than a physical copy of the document being printed. So, if an online document allows you to print something and you're not savvy enough to know how to actually "save it", then print it to the virtual PDF printer and it'll save in PDF format. PPS: That aircraft-manuals website says Sicuro publishing in the footer, but I don't see them listed as a publisher in the ISBN list of publishers. YMMV with that website... PPPS: HA! Check this out! https://www.facebook.com/SicuroPublishing/videos/airplane-mechanics-unable-to-read-repair-manuals-written-in-en/1747330168927818/

I know you uninstalled FSX, but I'm not sure if that also deletes certain configuration files held in the FSX folder of the Windows AppData folder. The two biggest configuration files I would try deleting and letting the Sim remake them automatically would be FSX.cfg and standard.xml found in the Controls folder. You can find these files quickly with the Everything.exe program from voidtools. Everything.exe will find files that have hidden or protected file attributes whether show hidden or protected files is on or not. . Right click the found file and chose open path in the right click context menu. (I never let Everything run in my system tray, but that's just me and my desire to control startup items). The exact path for all this is C:\Users\[your Windows username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX I'm not sure if that is the same path used in Windows 10 or 11. Never installed the game in 10 or 11... The other thing that could be an issue is if that Microsoft keyboard comes with its own software that you installed. Sometimes keyboard software will interfere with things. It's why I don't even mess with it for my Logitech keyboard. Don't even need it unless you want to XOR encrypt your wireless keystrokes... (XOR is, as the kids say, "weak sauce"). Another avenue I'd look down is the possibility of an FSX module interfering with the keyboard. Additionally, there are small programs that can remap or disable keys. https://www.snapfiles.com/downloadfind.php?action=s&ref=2&st=remap And you can control things with your voice using VoiceBot. I use VoiceBot for all sorts of things. Namely to control Spotify. And my clown porn...

420 as well? That's just gold... On the subject of reality and all joking aside. Honda does make great car, and I do like their jet offerings. If I had the money I might consider leasing one.

Do I dare explain? HAHA!

Twas a fantastic era for movies. Today? Not so much...

You might be able to find some models from here in the library and add them using the object placer tool.

I was doing some research on the Statue of Liberty one day. Being the history buff I am, I can tell you it opened two years prior to Jack the Ripper's reign in Whitechapel, England (a district in London) in 1888. A year later in 1889 the Eiffel Tower opened. And it was during the World's Fair. Paris World's Fair I think. Such notable people that attended were Wild Bill Hickok and his Wild West show and Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison went to the top of the tower to have lunch with someone whom I forgot. Also, the Statue of Liberty got shrapnel from some blast I think from a German Nazi WWII sub. One hundred years after 1888 I took my first flight aboard a Continental headed to John Wayne airport in Orange County, California. I was 8 years old. Wore a green shirt and I think it was corn flakes for breakfast. LOL! Dan Aykroyd who plays Ray Stantz was part writer of the movie. (I loved the cartoon back then).

All is possible. Are you willing to get your hands dirty for the next fun and exciting Windows 10 dilemma of old game installation? If so, learn and get your hands dirty. https://github.com/ericwj/PsSecDrv (Note- as of this post the repository was updated 17 days ago. So it's active and working). Now, about that needing another computer. That's fine, and is one way, but in today's modern computing we can virtualize that with VMware Workstation Player or Oracle's Virtualbox. (I prefer VMware) Just make sure VMware Tools gets installed if you install XP or 7 in VMware Workstation Player. VMware Tools allows you drag & drop between your host (your main computer) and the guest (inside the VMware running OS). And no, you can't game in VMware. Note: You should make sure virtualization features are turned on in your BIOS/UEFI. You of course could dual boot (I prefer two HDDs with the HDD selector by Kingwin). Gigabyte motherboards allow chipsets Z370, B365 (9th Gen capable), H310 (9th Gen capable) to use Windows 7 and Windows 10 since they provide the necessary motherboard drivers for both OSs. Keep that bit of Info. in a text file because it took me at least an hour to go through all their motherboards and find out for a tech forum. LOL! I'm sure ASUS and others may be the same. (On the left choose by chipset). https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard Addendum: There might be another way. LOL! I'd have to find it, but maybe an old copy of Hiren's boot CD using Windows 7 could work via live USB booting. Just boot the USB stick and use your optical drive. I prefer to use Ventoy for USB booting OSs. With Ventoy you can boot Memtest86, Windows, Linux, you freaking name it. Just place the ISO on the Ventoy formatted USB drive. Or optical drive if you want read only. Use WinToUSB to copy and boot your whole damn OS you use now in a live environment! :D If you want quick OS deployment via freaking smartphone, check out Server Ultimate for PXE booting. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.serversultimatepro&hl=en_US&gl=US (You'll need to know how to PXE boot). Anyway...

In regards to creating that aforementioned ISO, I can help with that. There are MANY programs that can do this. The most notable would have to be a program called CDBurnerXP and IMGBurn. Do make damn sure that once you download one or all of those you scan it at the website VirusTotal. The general consensus is four hits and you toss. If you're really tech savvy then have a look at any Behaviors or Relations if posted there for that file at VirusTotal. Long ago I grabbed the portable version of IMGBurn because I read the install version contains Ads. Now having said that, you probably don't need to repack the files on the disk and into an ISO (archive format) anyway. The executable (.exe) and all its dependencies for installation should be right there on the disk. So, you should be able to just copy and paste those files into a folder on your computer and then double click the setup.exe file or what ever. Understandably however, sometimes these disks come with protection mechanisms that may hinder your ability to make a copy/paste operation or even to create an ISO. There are ways around that though, but I'm not sure if it's allowed to be talked about here. Even if it's for your own installation of your property that you paid for. I'm thinking it is Windows 10 and its functionality with overzealous protection mechanisms which there are many. I'd first try to install the plane directly to C drive in its own folder. I'd also make sure you're doing it in an Admin account. It might even be worthwhile to launch the installer with Admin permissions. It could even be DEP (Data Execution Protection) and its behind the scenes mechanisms. It can be turned off completely with a command and a PC reboot. I do this now and it was how I got RealityXP gauges to work in Windows 7 for FS2004 where they said they would absolutely not work in Windows 7. I proved that assumption wrong right quick. You could check to see what the internal mechanisms are doing as you install. There are HDD data loggers, registry loggers, process and thread loggers, etc. So it could be a Windows DLL or what ever interfering and that would show up during the logging process. Do you see any errors in the Event Viewer?

The YouTube logo button is looking for YouTube tags. When you chose the celluloid film option it just needs a link. Give this a try. Click the YouTube logo button again and insert this YouTube code tag: RV-Z1YwaOiw That tag is in the YouTube URL link. You'll see it after the v= part in the URL. The reason why the video "appears" to show up but just displays an error is because that button wants a code tag, not a full YouTube URL. To be more precise. The error is generated due to the parsing of the wrong input you added to the input box of the YouTube button. Where it should have been something that looks like this: RV-Z1YwaOiw It works, but each are used differently.

Oops, hit the submit. One sec while I type this. Let me make a video of my own and I'll show you. Basically, we're dealing with YouTube tags and URLs. My Internet went out and had to rely on a slow cell phone connection. Anyway, here's my video tutorial. Use 1080p and full screen if you can.

"Has anyone noticed" Apparently not. LOL

Great Scott! After all this time I've been using BSD.

Sure, I can try to offer some insight in how to get FSX to work in Windows 10. Trust me when I tell you you're not the only one that has made a similar post, and the typical responses are all on about how the poster is not correct in that FSX or FS2004 doesn't work under Windows 10. I could run a massive search with a tool here on my computer through Google and procure a flipping three page PDF on all the threads started from users having issues with FSX and FS2004 using Windows 10. Basically, Windows 10 has more built-in protections than previous OSs which in my opinion is the primary reason behind legacy Sims not behaving like they should. One of the biggest from Vista on up is gonna have to be making sure you install the Sim outside of the programs folder and on the root of C drive or another drive. So your path would look like this as an example: C:\FSX. Many virtual pilots already know this, but not all. Especially for those that have taken a years worth hiatus from the Sim. Here are a few tips on installing FSX for the first time. https://www.nmgsimulations.co.za/support/knowledge-base/installing-flight-simulator-x-the-correct-way/ You'll also want to use compatibility mode for XP. To do that you'd right click the FSX.exe file (or shortcut) and go into properties and look for compatibility. You might want to try windowed mode for the game. To do that you go into FSX's settings and find the windowed mode option. If memory serves, I did it from the menu bar above by pressing the Alt key to display the menu bar. And in one of those drop down menus was the option to use windowed mode. I guess pressing the Alt plus Enter keys in game will do it as well. I've never ran FSX in Windows 10, but I do believe you need to install DirectX 9c. Yes, you already have a DirectX installed, but you need to have version 9c installed. And yes, you can have more than one installed. What ever game or program that depends on that version will use that version. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 You might also want to turn off UAC. To do that you should be able to type in the Windows search facility the letters UAC and from there you can turn it completely off. It's not even going to stop malware, I'll assure you of that. There are many types of malicious software that bypass UAC like nothing. I turned that crap off the very first time I installed Windows 7 many years ago. I honestly think Microsoft is just trying to mimic user accounts in Linux but doing a very bad job at it. LOL The Linux user account system is massively different. That's about all I can think of right now on trying to get FSX to run in Windows 10. Just know that an eventual "update" will probably hose all of your efforts right out the windows. It's why I'll strip all that nonsense functionality out when I eventually install Windows 10 on a separate hard drive. I don't really require updates unless they're for hardware or software needs. More on that in the following paragraph. Just so you know, don't buy into this fallacy (yes, fallacy) that just because an OS doesn't get updates anymore it's somehow obsolete over night. Without getting into massive details and to be concise, if you were to have another hard drive for a dual boot configuration (I use a Kingwin 5.25 bay HDD selector) of XP and Windows 10 (motherboard drivers outstanding) and you only used XP for the Sim or legacy applications with certain security hygiene in mind, there should be no reason once so ever some Time Warner owned Guy Fawkes mask wearing "hacker" will own your computer or you somehow magically contract an Internet STD (malware). I'm telling you this due to personal experience and my knowledge. I used to run XP on a Dell netbook that was on 24/7 who's sole function was to interpret the caller-ID data from a USB connected dial-up modem for a program that acted as a firewall of sorts for my landline telephone that filtered spam callers and whatnot (the other layer is Nomorobo. I don't hand out the cell number to just anyone. You get the landline ( •̀ᴗ•́ )و ̑̑). For years I ran that Config. and I never once got "hacked" or contracted malware. Case in point: it's all on how YOU the user uses the computer and how you browse the Internet and your security hygiene withen all seven layers of the OSI model. Of course, if you're not as tech savvy as I am or some others then you could probably expect some issues. Also, I currently run Windows 7 and there's been no magical malware or any of the sort. I know because I make whole disk clones and scan that clone in an offline live environment among other things. And I do run a pretty tight ship to the best that I can absent of the needed patronage to the patch Tuesday god of Microsoft. And get this. I only have but four or so updates just for software and hardware needs. LOL I think there's more to those "updates" than what meets the eye... but that's just me. I really don't care what others say when they lambast me with BS trying to school me and take on some micro expertise because of their psyche of a when in Rome consciousness that falsely claims absolution in the sense they are more "secure". Never mind the statistics of CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) versus that of Windows 7 in a given time period. To make a point here. There are people waaay smarter than the consumer and that's precisely why they have untold billions tied up in stock and held in overseas accounts and what not. Some are so rich they can fund CIA operations and what not off the books. LOL! I know that sounds like gold platted tin foil hat nonsense, but thoroughly research Howard Hughes or Jeff Bezos as two quick examples. Not saying there's something wrong with being rich, making a profit, etc. The problem lies in how you obtain the capital and what you do with it. For me it would be massive. I would first hire a few tutors to help me learn things I don't understand (think private professors or something) and I'd try to create a cryptocurrency for charities like St. Jude and what not all powered from electrical production ideas I have that are way more efficient. No, not lead and other chemical crap laden solar or wind. I'm talking from the generator on up. Anyway... I'm like a metaphysical typist. LOL
