  1. Hi fellow simmers, My Xbox s is stuck since yesterday on the latest msfs2020 update 98% complete and its not moving, i can quit the sim and do other stuff but my sim is completely blocked i dont know if its the download but system says the internet is okay in fact, i had no console issues at all, except for this update ...ugh
  2. Hi there, i dont know how many years i have been sleeping but i just found out there is multiple missions not displaying in the FSX missions menu there is this canyon Mission "JetCanyon" with the F18 The "MP_Secret_Island_Race" the "HoopRaceCourse" "GreekXC" ?! what the hell ? i just realized about these missions does any know how to accesss them ? or are they only unlocked if you complete another race ?
  3. Both FSrec and FSX are installed in program files (86) but separed folders for each. i figured out fsrec crashes my FSX, not because it necessarily crashes during its use (btw, fsrec never crashes while recording) , but because its active when my FSX crashes, if FSrec is not installed, there is no crash.
  4. Its been months and months, maybe years dealing with my FSX crashes i had a feeling FSrecorder had something to do with it but its such a small addon, besides the size of its temp file ? what could go wrong ? i uninstalled FSX, reinstalled, repaired, uninstalled my addons, reinstall, nothing worked played with display settings, max, medium, minimal.... almost every session has become a nightmare not knowing at what moment my sim will crash... So i decided to try not using FSrecorder, and everything went well if i put it back ? it crashes again, and so on.... Note that event viewer shows faulty modules as "unknown", "FSX", or "FSrec dll" I gave it a try again yesterday and today, uninstalled FSrecorder, and no problemo. I am using the latest FSrecorder working version. Anyone has any idea what could go wrong with my FSrecorder ? i can't get rid of it that easy... or is there any other similar free addon i could use instead ? thank you !
  5. damn me ! i thought i read cpu lol.. so you believe im gonna have to keep the same processor ? as i said before i want to invest into anything that can fit the the motherboard, power supply and processeurs... oh and i only have 2 ddr2 slots occupied. with 4 gig ram total, thats all i have i think i can go up to 8 gig ram in that motherboard but im not sure...
  6. what about graph card ? i believe there are tons of better GC out there from what i've read back in those years :) PSU is 350 watts. 2 ddr2 slots PCIexpress for G card my budget could go up to 500$ (specialy graphs card) but then again i wonder if its too much for such an old system
  7. On my way to buy new MSFS for XBOX X instead for the moment and having a new laptop that can not run FSX nor MSFS. I'm planning to give a last breath of life performance to my very dinosaur PC Here are the specs: ASUS P5QPL VM-INTEL E8400-3GHZ-DDR2RAM4GO-GT220GEFORCE i wanna buy the latest that can fit the body and run FSX acceleration Processor, DDR2, graphs card, power supply if someone can lead me to the best items i can get or lead me to any sites that can help me do the shopping it would be very appreciated. Thank you !
  8. Hi one absolute thing that comes to my mind ? buy the premium deluxe edition i really wanna get the whole thing working without later going through frustrations like "you should have got Pdeluxe edition to get that feature" .... so i saw many sites offering MSFS up to 25% discounts, thats a lot knowing that PD edition costs somewhere around 150$ ? question is, are those sites save ? am i better buying the simulator from microsoft store ? what about you ?
  9. Reinstall didnt work either the weirdest thing, isnt "repair" option supposed to "replace" files with default ones ? somehow the file i was looking for didnt get replaced so i opened the file to look for entry anomalies and found this slashes in one of the time lines in GPS information i erased the slashes and the mission came back ok :) i have no idea how it got there, may be i modified the file and put those slashes by mistake but i still dont understand why the file wasnt replaced by the default one on repair mode.... anyways thanks for your time :)
  10. i dont know but my communication manners are still ok.
  11. Hi Does any one know where in the microsoft site i can download default FS missing files for my FSX ? My Amsterdam mission flt file is missing...i have no idea how it happened. Thanks for your help !
  12. Hi so the other day i was watching mayday tv series and they aired the episode about the West Air Sweden Flight 294 crash due to A malfunction in one of the aircraft's inertial reference units. "The final report was published by SHK on 12 December 2016.[3] The inquiry reached the following conclusion: The accident was caused by insufficient operational prerequisites for the management of a failure in a redundant system. Contributing factors were: The absence of an effective system for communication in abnormal and emergency situations. The flight instrument system provided insufficient guidance about malfunctions that occurred. The initial manoeuver that resulted in negative G-load probably affected the pilots' ability to manage the situation in a rational manner." i was a little disappointed by the fact that the investigation mostly points to "the lack of communication between the two pilots having different information coming from one of the IRU" But nowhere in the investigation they talk about the importance of having 2 same information on 3 displays knowing that there is also an auxiliary gyro altitude indicator, they could have use as a third information. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1d/Attitude_Indicator.png can some one explain to me why the investigation didnt consider the need of this indicator ?
  13. Hi a couple of months right before deciding to buy my next sim FS2020 i still do not understand why some displays in this simulator (and older versions) show this really uncomfortable to watch perspective (or POV effect ? ) where the image shows you the aircraft's nose very near the camera but showing the tail like 1 mile away ..... as shown here left: sim-----------------------------------------------------------------right : real life plane why does the simulators offer this kind of view ? and it also shows in views like cockpit view, where the yoke shows right before your eyes but the copilot yoke is very far away....
