  1. Where did I fly today? A couple of days ago I took a scenic flight from Las Vegas Henderson Executive to Fresno, circumventing the military and parks areas. Not a very demanding flight in the Beechcraft Baron but what scenery! Desert, Death Valley, mountains and then flat farmland - with an easy landing at Fresno. All in one flight this really showed off the MSFS scenery in a part of the world unfamiliar to most of us in the UK, but all the more impressive for that. This was a whole new way of touring. Here is my flight route KHND KITEE JAMIA ZIGLR OYODA JFFAR JOHKR BIKKR CAGEE KENNO CABAB NAHNT SIPZY KFCH Nothing very technical – but an afternoon well-spent in the Baron. A real fun flight. Robert
  2. Thanks again Aptosflier. I guess I'll revert to Asobo's stock G1000 and watch the posts for news of NXi. BTW my grey matter is nine years older than yours! Robert
  3. Aptosflier, I assumed the ‘mess’ was a result of having the NXi on top of the stock G1000 because I had found some sites saying that one had to removed the latter first. But your helpful response (thanks) suggests that I do not need to do this. Mess as follows: cannot always follow GPS flight plan or heading, altitude setting inclined to lock and cannot be altered (but not always). GOTO works most of the time. AP actually only works intermittently – sometimes it does, sometime it doesn’t, but always with the problems described. Interestingly I also have a Bravo quadrant with all the AP buttons and switches correctly bound. But cannot operate AP from there at all at present. All I get is the VS light permanently on. Quadrant use a minor inconvenience - obviously all the buttons are on screen. Robert
  4. Rather carelessly I installed G1000 NXi without first uninstalling G1000. So now I have a mess. I would be very grateful for simple instructions on how to uninstall both and then install G1000 NXi. Thanks Robert
  5. I have installed G100 NXi in MSFS. It looks very nice, but: I cannot operate any of the AP buttons on screen. I have the Bravo Throttle quadrant, all the bindings are correct but all I get is the VS button permanently 'On'. AP is not operable from the throttle quadrant either. At present I can only handfly the Beechcraft Baron - not feasible for longer flights. Anyone any ideas on this one? Perhaps I'm just making a simple mistake somewhere. Robert
  6. Some pupils at a New Zealand secondary school did a giant phallus in the playing field (using Roundup, I guess) don't know if it's still there. I think (can't remember) that it was visible to the very high-res satellite imagery to which some agencies have access. It was certainly on Google Earth. Robert
  7. Thanks Steve, I did notice that the firewall suggestion was for Dave, but I thought I'd try it anyway. I will report to Zendesk and try removing peripherals, one by one. Robert
  8. I turned my firewall off for a minute or so but 'Controls Options' would not open. Robert
  9. Controls Option had not opened after 15 minutes of 'loading'. I'll have a look at firewalls. Robert
  10. I had problems with today's update but I eventually got into MSFS and started to fly. But I really wanted to mend the bindings on my Bravo Throttle after the previous update. All Options except Controls Options opened fine. But the latter just goes into 'loading' mode and stays there. So no chance of sorting out my controls! Anyone else had this one? Robert
  11. The fix to update seems to have solved the issues for me - though I've lost a few bindings to Bravo throttle. Four test flights were fine today (including one unplanned view of sunrise over Grand Canyon!) Robert
  12. Is it just me, or is there a general problem? I had to download an MSFS update today - it took two hours. After this a number of settings in my yoke went awry. But worse than this; no option to load a saved route on launch, no way back from a completed flight to start a new one without exiting the whole program and restarting it. Looking forward to some weekend flying - and look what I get! I hope this is fixable. Robert
  13. Stinger, is this still available? Thought I had downloaded it - but if I did, I've lost it! Robert
  14. Thanks Steve, I will try that (I purchased from MS). Robert
