For some reason the last couple of times I've flown both into and out of Gibraltar, the rock appears wrong. Any ideas fellas? thanks... BTW I have checked the position of Gib in the library and it is above both UTX and GEX Europe, also the mesh is correct...
-
Maybe your mesh settings are too low? Only idea...
Nope, mesh settings are as they have always been...

Any ideas fellas?

HAVE MOVED ISSUE TO FSX/2004 MEGA AIRPORTS

Come on fellas, let's get out hands on LEMG!

While truelz statement regarding a fee of $499 is true, he has avoided pointing out that P3D is in fact accessible to any simmer at, I think about $9.99 a month. You simply register as an individual developer. Which runs at about £72 a year!

The worst thing anyone can do with FSX is have some strange preconception of what they expect from the sim, without actually understanding anything about it. With respect, why on earth would you want to run FSX at 50 frames anyway? As has already been said, if you find a PC that runs FSX at those framerates with all sliders full , then let me know

the VFInsight MCP panel and may think what you are supposed do with that one.
Yes I did! And yes I have ignored it too! Thanks again for your help CoolP

Hi, Howard. I forgot to say 'happy 2012 to you'.
It actually needs a current FSUIPC version to work. Installation is easy, it's just copy and pasting the program's files into the modules folder of FSX, where FSUIPC already resides.
You should backup your current FSUIPC.ini before and then proceed to start LINDA (it's a simple exe file) and configure your hardware once. So if you have throttles, pedals or whatever, let LINDA know.
A note. LINDA does not affect axes of any kind, only buttons. So if you have your throttle calibrated in FSUIPC or default FSX only, nothing changes. The only change will happen in the way you assign FSUIPC offsets, lua stuff, macros and all other cryptic things to certain planes like the Katana.
After the basic setup is done, you might see a screen similar to the one I've posted. And if you fire up FSX, you will see a small text message from FSUIPC that LINDA is running.
The exe is able to detect some well known planes already. So you just click sync and it detects the Katana being in use. You then press a button and see it being highlighted in that LINDA screen. Then, you can assign a Katana feature to that button.
As you see in my list, I have the carb heat and things assigned to my throttle buttons. So I don't have to grab the mouse, but just press that button.
That's the main architecture of the thing. You define the plane in use (or use the auto-detect feature) and assign your stuff once. New/unknown planes need a new profile which will then get loaded every time LINDA detects that plane.
Does it do magic? Yes, sort of. It offers plenty of features for all kind of planes and reduces the workload on the cryptic FSUIPC work which was needed before. So you don't have to set up lua variables and FSUIPC offset values, but just assign a certain feature to a button of your hardware. You don't even have to know what all these things mean.
They are constantly improving and expanding the list of supported models and you can also use all FSUIPC things you had before, like macro files and so on.
They've included a pdf to explain how people with already assigned FSUIPC stuff should start. As said, the axes stay where they were before, only the button stuff is changed.
A happy new year to you too my friend. Thanks for taking the time in explaining things for me, very much appreciated. I have now downloaded Linda off the back of your recommendation and I'm in the throws of setting it up. Although I have a feeling I may call on your good nature in the form of the odd question!

Nice job John! All the best.

Cheers mate. How do I go on with having FSUIPC will it work in conjunction with?

I haven't looked back since getting FSUIPC about three months ago. However, for some reason and it may well be finger trouble, I am unable to allocate controls to the Kat. I can allocate auto start and auto cutoff, but no way can I operate flaps, carb heat or prop through FSUIPC, although I can operate parking brake (?) To be fair, I haven't gone beyond these functions at the moment, because these are the main controls I want to sort out initially. I have tried all manner of ways, using the dedicated options in FSUIPC which relate directly to the Kat, through to using the standard options too. It is really annoying as I love this bird so much and yet I'm not flying it quite so much at the moment due to this frustrating issue. I have searched the forum but with little success. As I said, it may well be finger trouble but either way if someone could offer some advice I'd be garteful, cheers fellas.

You beat me to it! I too would like to thank Mathijs and everyone at Aerosoft for the very kind gift and also wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year
-
Very, very cool Jeroen, great vid.
-
Ah, good point _P, I hadn't thought about that
I'll check that out later. I have a feeling it's assigned to the 2d view in the NGX... -
Hi Oli, sure, I understand about the pushback, I guess that is logical. As for the window freezing, maybe it was a one off event. I will keep an eye on things in the future. Thanks
-
I have just purchased 20 credits and installed most of my airports with AES 2.20a. Howevr, the first time I ran AES I found several issues, the first being a freeze of the pop up info window with the list of actions. No matter how many times I hit both F10 or F12 I could not get rid of it. This was extremely frustrating as I had to cancel my flight after a 30 minute preflight! The other issue was during pushback the NGX was pushed dirtectly into the side of a taxiing 747! I also saw a service vehicle driving through the side of the NGX also. Oli, or anyone could you please offer some advice, thanks.
-
I seem to have sorted it Oli. I reinstalled 2.20a and that has done the trick. Thanks for all your help.

Maybe your config is not correct. What AES Version you use? 2.14 or 2.20? If 2.20, did have the Fix 1.
For the NGX you must set the front and the rear door on the left side, the doors before and after the wing must be check as "unavailable" in AESconfig.
The forward and backward cargodoor in the lowerdeck should be set on the right side, if you don't want to have both, you should uncheck the unused too.
In the Download Section here the forum you can find Intelliscene.cfg for some aircraft, which you only need to copy to the releated Aircraft folder, a PMDG NGX is not there, but I think you can find them in the net.
AND: Take care, that the "Airport Vehicle Traffic" Slider in the FSX Settings->Traffic Menu is set to 0%, otherwise you may see the default vehicles beside the AES once.
Hi Oli, sure everything is as it should be. Airport vehicles set to 0 with the relevent doors assigned. I have just installed version 2.20.... Fix 1? Is that installed after 1.20 or is it included?
-
Try it, nobody can say, how your PC is performing. But I think, you will have other things killing you Frames much more and AES is not effecting frames, until you are parked at the position and then Frames are not the most critical part, as long as you go not below the 15 and that will not generated by AES.
Hi Oli, sure that sounds logical. Hey, I've just fired things up and am a little bemused. I have configured the NGX with one cargo vehicle and two air stairs. I have ended up with two cargo vehicles and three airstairs, each driving into one another. When I call for the catering vehicle, which arrive as two, they drive through the passenger bus. When the airstairs backup they the drive through the two buses!! Any ideas? There appears to be too many vehicles....
EDIT; Just tried it at Corfu airport and it is the same. Three airstairs, with the front two jockeying for position and two catering vans that collide as they both go to the front of the aircraft!
-
Sure, that's cool, Thanks fellas, I'll do that straight away and start experimenting with Oli's AES!
EDIT: Quick question... what kind of framerate hit if any can I expect with AES?
-
Hi Oli, I have only just recently started using AES and have to say I'm pretty impressed. However, I am a little confused. As I understand, there are a number of UKscenery2000 airports covered with Aerosoft's AES but UKscenery2000 have their own AES. I noticed when parked at gate 1 at EGGD there seemed to be a load of service vehicles arguing for the same spot! Does this mean there is a conflict, or I simply need to move my aircraft to a gate not covered by UKscenery's AES? Thanks for the product and I look forward to your reply.

Okay. Will do. One last question for now, Im using fs9 right now and my cpu is only running at 50% but im getting 6fps in LAX. Any reason why im getting low framerates at the time?
Sure, I can't answer that as I have no experience of FS9
-
Okay. The only other programs ill be running with fsx would be google chrome and windows media player. Would the I5 overclocked to 4.2Ghz be able to handle those programs running at once. And hows about what kind of motherboard, P67?
Hiya, sure, but bearing in mind any programs, regardless of what they are, will impact to some degree no matter how little. As for a MB I cannot recommend one in particular, only to say I have an Asus P8Z68-V. Asus are one of the favourites among guys and have a history of building excellent boards. I have to say that I have been very happy with my prebuilt, OC system that I have had for about three weeks now, from OCUK. The thing to always remember is to focus on good quality hardware, made by some of the well known brands. The best thing is to Google some of your hardware 'likes' and make a list and work out a price. Then post your list on here and ask for final advice before parting with any cash.

Here's my attempt fellas. Good luck to everyone!
