  1. If I recall correctly, you can change the instruments to show actual airspeed. Been a while though, so I could be wrong. I used to have a 1967 C-172. I considered myself lucky to make 110mph indicated. My indicator was marked in Mph. I think 110mph is about 95kts. N3760R was a good little plane. We sold it. Then that guy sold it and the guy that bought it didn't handle a crosswind gust and wrapped it into a ball on the way home with it. He lived, but I'm sure he was pretty upset.
  2. One day my instructor asked if I was British just after we landed... "No, why?" "Because you CONSISTENTLY land on the left side of the runway!" "Technically, I landed on the left NUMBER of the runway Boss."
  3. Nuthin... Oh well. Maybe someday it'll just start mysteriously working again or I'll stumble onto the answer while looking for something else. Thanks for the suggestions guys!
  4. It's all virgin files. Everything was removed and reinstalled. Nothing hidden. fSX.cfg is there. I pulled the BIN files from the CD and put them there, but still nothing after a test flight. It's not that it's a real problem, I never really bothered looking at them. The geek in me says "It's supposed to work, why isn't it working?" And it just bugs me.
  5. I went there looking for it after I did the reinstall. It's not there. Is there a way to steal it off of the FSX CD and insert it into Steam?
  6. Mine haven't been showing for a while and I just recently did a full reinstall, or so I thought, and I still don't have any showing. Logbook seems to be working fine though. Just curious if anybody can tell me how to get them to show up again?
  7. WOOHOO! I gotz my ILS back! Thank you Tiger! I don't remember downloading those files but that must be how I did it before. I now have a backup copy in case I ever need to do it again.
  8. Standard looking VOR gauge in Nav 1 spot and speed and milage readout below the frequencies. It really flummoxes me too. I keep really detailed records of what I change and what works and what doesn't. You should see my Luftwaffe paint mixes for my model building addiction! Just can't figure out where I stored this little secret to hide it from myself.
  9. Somehow, when I first got the thing, I added a glideslope and VOR distance measurement to the 172n's panel. Had a computer glitch and had to reinstall everything and I can't remember how I did it. I've searched for three days in various forums and web pages in vain. Can anybody please tell me how I did it? All I remember when I did it was thinking, "Well that was easy". The Carenado 172n flies almost exactly like my old Cessna in real life did but it had the full IFR package and I kind of miss that.
  10. I've added sceneries before and run into the problem of trees in the middle of roads and sometimes runways. Turns out that if you see trees in the middle of the road in Hawaii, it may be accurate! People have started planting trees in the potholes to mark them, and probably to embarrass the state's road repair department into fixing the holes that sometimes go unrepaired for almost a year!
  11. Lack of parking spots would be my guess. If they're stock airports, then they are short on parking.
  12. Not the power plan settings. It'll be in the USB device settings, guaranteed. I was stumped for nearly a week and having a horrible time until I found an old thread about the problem happening in Windows 8 (or whichever version). Figured "what the hell", found the settings for my USB devices and sure enough they were set to "let Winblows manage power" and I changed it. No more binge drinking from lack of flying and daily stress.
  13. SOLVED!!!! Somehow, after a Windows update (I assume), my USB controllers were given the option to let Win10 turn off power to them to save energy. I unchecked the box allowing that and all of a sudden, it all works again.
  14. I appreciate the try Brian, but no luck. I tried the first one and it still doesn't see the thrustmaster. Opened up the newly created xml file and the Tmaster isn't in there. I have no idea what happened or why it isn't being seen. Kinda sad too. It's a beautiful day for a flight. Whoa! Hold up! It's in the one that I changed to .Bak.... Gonna change the name back to xml so it'll at least be in there. As near as I can tell, all the entries for the joystick and the ch pedals are the same as for Mouse Yoke and Mouse View entries.
