  1. Someone has completely redone that fantastic work of Rorys including the minesweeper version, or lets say the larger 53, which now in 2022 a newer version is coming out and HMX 1 has discontinued its CH53 Wing. Still; the very best chopper in the field. Do a FSX search Rory Kelly CH53, alot of MAIW will come up but keep looking youll see a post directing you to the site, fine work.
  2. I know Im a few years late, heres your link to all items that were located on Hovercontrol. I know what you mean when it comes to creators, hell im still waiting for that sea version of Rorys that CH 53, not the sea stallion which i was the first to fly at Pendleton, its larger, heavier. heres your link. Rory did it first. https://sourceforge.net/projects/hcff/
  3. I had read that Damian Radice had passed away, RIP to one of the finest creators that FSX ever knew.
  4. The plane never received the attention that it should of like the P-61 compared to the P-38, or the P-47to the P-51. This is the best recreation Ive seen of the aircraft yet.
  5. That Particular aircraft with the fuselage markings are also located on the Millville N.J. City Hall and Administration Office. The Late Francis "GABBY" Gabreski used to fly in their to the First Defense Airbase Millville Air Defense Army Air Field. About 68 military air craches their and holds that record for WW2, and has the abandoned bombing and strafing range adjacent south renamed Bevans Wildlife Management Area. A hell of alot of debris and remanents of bombs , Torpedos crash parts and tons of machine gun rounds in the strafing areas. Hasnt been used for aircraft since 46 , tanks 1969 or 70. Newer live ranges east out in ocean or North to Warren Grove 60 miles in middle of pine barrens. P47 is our Hometown Mascot and Sports Teams. Those Thunderbolts and P40s ruled out here.
  6. The SDK is in your FSX disc 1, run the disc , look through it, its a large file as far as its going to go into your FSX. If you cant go into that or anything in way of files right click and make yourself admin. i do that on every install of anything so that i can make any cfg change i want. With some aircraft like Captsim and a few others the system will crash if you dont set the install as admin. Good Luck.
  7. Go into FSX cfg file as admin, type DisablePreload, that would be at the very bottom of the cfg as the cfg file is written in reverse. Have issues with memory or ram ? alleviate the issue with MEMFIX=1 , Now that goes at the top above the first line. Any other issues leave them here. One tip, one thing that overworks fsx is shortcuts on your screen and just before you start fsx go to search type %TEMP% and the temp files will come up, delete all, what cant be deleted will stay, all of that will speed up the fsx program and in fact they are preload files the system that will be redone on the next boot. Make sure you type in the cfg just as ive typed it.
  8. Eyestrain, which will worsen, blue light from the computer screen and or Blue lense sunglasses. Pickup a pair of computer glasses and it should ease off, and depending on age. If not, Id contact a professional, life without sight or bad vision isnt a pleasant thing.
  9. Id have to say that the personal attacks on writers has increased over the last few years, and i believe the reason is the years of education and grammar as taught from the 1800s in the U>S> until the early 1980s. Commas, dashes etc arent followed anymore nor are the rules of capitalization. This began in the advertising agencies when states banned roadsigns to make the view more palatable. I could of commented on the above mistype as SNIPERS not snippers., But I didnt:] The slangs and technical era has made it even more difficult as the vernacular has also changed and thats why on your smartphone they keep a data bank on every word you type so they can derive the meaning, or assume they do. A good example is what George W.Bush did as president, passed a cyber law about anything on a computer and or device that had anything cryptic not realizing of course that most on a device is in one form or another cryptic. So, theres another dimension of "PROGRESS", to note even in progress there are losses, and the shortcuts on language may seem cool at times but the meanings are lost. Remember one thing, we are all in this venture of life, were all stuck on the same planet, and i dont think its too much to understand that being overly critical can take away from the sim community, as we created what we see out here and not an already perfected program and or application, WE THE PEOPLE created what you see before you, we were given a basepack with a bunch of cartoon aircraft and a Saturday Cartoon Matinee of scenery , and you can be proud to know that for the era we did ok, considering LOckheed Martin thought so much so they bought the platform, so be proud, fly together, relax, understand Im an Old Marine, Ive been up and Ive been down, and when i head into town i dead stick to land, dont want to wake the neighbors.when in the eighth grade i used a slang in English, i was reamed by my teacher, that was in the late 60s, my reply was " You understood what i said and was referring to didnt you? He just looked and didnt reply. Point made.
  10. I remember that Aero Commander down in Gettysburg back when I was a kid, President Dwight Eisenhower had a Farm down there and thats the plane he used to fly in on. These planes had all kinds of uses from the time it first hit the market, and it just happened to be one of the most durable contraband running aircraft of the ages, and that was due to its strucure and ability to handle rough landings and terrain. Beautiful aircraft.
  11. FSPILOTSHOP isn't in business, there were issues and they lost the site, and it was open to purchase from Go Daddy. I spoke with multiple vendors that said they were also having issues recieving payments from the online store for their products. If you want to rectify your issue, a. Get all of your reciepts from FSPILOTSHOP, make copies, contact the creator organization send them a email with copies of all purchase from the shop that pertains as well as the keys that pertain to said purchase. Each will assist you. I've saved every confirmation and key purchase going back to 2006 in archives, beings that's the only way to prove a purchase. I hope that helps, and I assure you, all of the vendors know the issue. You will also find that alot of vendors will not be using other businesses to sell their products, but just to promote. Happy Holidays. SEMPER FIDELIS
  12. The overall issue from the information I've gained is, A. The developers are sending payments late and some aren't sending any . B. I can tell you that if they don't make their payment for their web domain they are going to lose it, it's online with the coding and that statement "of you are interested in domain contact the domain owner which isn't at this point isn't only FS PILOTSHOP meaning simply that due to lack of funds the site has been taken offline , and unless the bill is paid the site will be lost. I've dealt with the PILOTSHOP since 2007. We've all had our points of contention, and misunderstandings. When I ran into issues that weren't resolved I spoke with a Manager in one state, and the owner in another and all issues were resolved. Other than pet peeves I still consider them one of the best sites, and carry a great product line. I don't agree with a few of their ideals, like charging for CDs and downloads for backup a year and after but hey, this is the new millennium and rules change all of the time. Monies tight everywhere.
  13. Your system restore . You'll have to do system restore, chose the point for restore as the one whereas you installed steam, or do a restore and then reinstall steam. I just made a post about two days ago about a similar situation with conflicts on win 10.
  14. ok, heres the deal about this overall misunderstanding about Windows and the conflicts with FSX GOLD EDITION. There are a few ways around this, but first, whether you have conflicts with anything or not, you should never allow any website access to do downloads without your inspection of the files and contents. I be in touch with Microsoft of and on for twenty years, and since 2007 with the overall release of the FSX program and then the GOLD EDITION its been more than 20 to 30 times a year over the phone and text well over a few hundred. You should go into your system as an administrator and checkoff the auto update, and recieve updates to see before downloading as about 5 years ago i had to put out an alert that malware in files as MS Updates were released into computers worldwide. Now onto the issue at hand, I had Win 7 and the GOLD installed since 2007, over 3 million files, Im using a dual core, 3 gig, and im oversped and adjusted my FSX cfg. file, I chose 2048, unless i want more and i boost it up to 4068. I run 100 on all aircraft and all settings on high. I right click and COMPRESS all files and subfiles on the entire NSFSXA program, this makes space on disc and additional ram, them I compress all C:x86) the same way again saving space. Now what i did to go over to Win 10, i contacted Microsoft, and i was given a Win 10 assist helper, this allows me to get win 10 without losing any files whatsoever, if you install win 10 any other way you lose everything. You must have the win 10 on your toolbar and allow the download assistant bring the 10 program in and install it, thus there are no issues with win 10 and conflicts with the Flightsim program. Let it be noted that Microsoft is very aware of the win 10 update issue and the malware issues and thats the reason the business version isnt being accepted the MS thought it would be because the businesses cannot trust a program that has the bugs. So, what some have noticed in win 10 is there isnt a heading for the downloads of updates and yet on some you can find it, another issue is with the snooping regards to the edge toolbar and its impending attempt to analyze everything on and in the computer, i personally switched out to GOOGLE newest release. If anyone has an android cellphone youll notice the relationship in security and google along with android making a team effort on security. I had to go to the MS site to get the update add on app for the computer but i still dont allow it to update until i see what its planning on usuing it for, so i copy the KB id number and i go to MS site and research it. To note, if you dont go about the first option i gave with the download assist and you already have win 10 and issues i will tell you that if you use the MS disc for MSFS 10 you will lose all of youre addons in file order and you will have to install again, and alot of you jpgs and some of youre files will be rerouted to the ozone and you wont recover them. Another issue with the EDge toolbar is conflict, especially with windows defender., and if thats the issue youll have to have the security program installed that youve purchased or downloaded removed or turn off your Defender which isnt difficult . If you have questions about the system tweaking send out a message here and ill do a write up on how to tune your computer no matter what size, so you can reach the full potential of the FSX program. Theres too many thinking FSX is gone, it hasnt even begun to reach its potential, they com and they go add ons , new programs, ive seen it in the past, sturmoviks still out there, I saw what happened with tac pac. Look theres plenty of dynamite combat and commercial flight sims, and it was the private designers and creators that took it to the point it was to where we exist now. Look at the fsx program with cartoon graphics and the transition pain in the butt fs9 time of transition , alot of simmers left and never came back, some did stay. The steam program? its ok, but when youve created a world in fsx foe over 10 years and all of the changes and hairpulling , its hard to give up a good thing, millions of downloads and more to come, and thanks to sites like FLIGHTSIM we have whatever we want or mention it and before long its here. There are plenty of sites, freeware and payware. stick to your guns.Have a safe flight and keep the shiny side up. Semper Fidelis
  15. Your not facing anything that the original designers faced. You will notice the many changes over the manufacture process, many of them subtle , but since they werent in a position to take their time as the war was already on the changes came thru unfortunately enough pilot injury or demise. The most important in the long run was the engines, When they changed that, the performance and maneouverability changed and hence , one of the worlds greatest. Take at a look at history, WW@ aircraft, everyone looks at the Mustang, yes sleek , sexy , aerodynamic and flew superiod, but when it came to dives , yes it was fast and accurate, BUT it did not beat out the slowest and heaviest P-47 Thunderbolt. The thunderbolt had a slow but steady climb rate, more piolts came home shotup instead of in a box, but after they installed more armour in the cockpit they didnt have that issue. In training more pilots of the P-47 died when releasing a 500 lb. bomb fron the belly, the plane would nose up and fly inverted into the ground. We lost 68 pilots in the 47 at the First Defense Airport in the U.S. Located in Millville N.J. (KMIV) a portion of this airport along with its museum is still used by the govt, and the original bombing strafing area open to the public still carries tons of live 50 cal rounds, crash debris, and ww2 aircraft parts strewn from crashes. (its called the Bevans Wildlife Management Area) when you hunt the 33000 acre area the older group as myself know where the action is , as to some that shoot pheasant on the ground they learn the haed way, the last gut set of a ww2 incenderary. So if you need the info on aircraft and need constructive feedback yoy know where to go. On that aircraft id install a Merlin.
