I think you make a very good point there. Although FS allows you to explore many different aircraft, it takes serious time to get to know one aircraft and you often only start to really enjoy it when you got 100 or more hours in it. I got one simple test for that. If I can fly three touch and go circuits, fully manual and they are all more or less the same I know that I understand how the aircraft flies and can start looking for the next one. Learning the systems is not half as complex as learning to fly the aircraft. I like flying and all systems are at best tools. An autoland after all is setting a few buttons right and watching your computer do the work! No skill involved there.
With the 737 and the Katana you got two aircraft that will keep you happy for a long time.
Now you mention it: I also prefer to fly manually- it's of course more fun, but I'm also often too lazy to create a flightplan, prepare the fmc, ... I think reality is not very different there. From what I've heard on the internet, most of the pilots fly manually whenever they can. You also see this in youtube-videos: when it's foggy, pilots use autopilot, but just at the point the runway is in sight, autopilot is switched off.
I think the topic-question includes also the flight dynamics, which are important for flying manually. I have no experience on fliyng the NGX yet (waiting for the box)...

Is the iFly easier to learn/fly than the PMDG? I'm one of those that would learn the basics, go away and fly something else for a while then come back having forgotten how to work it and then abandon it. If the iFly is simpler to get up in the air so I can learn as I go, that might be the better option for me.

I hope I didn't get this wrong, if so, please TELL ME!
But I think the pmdg is as easy to learn as the ifly as far as you just use the functions the ifly has. The pmdg is only more difficult if you use all the complex functions the ifly does not have.
You just should know for yourself how much you wanna pay for this. The pmdg has the HUD, so I'll get this one although I know I will never be able to learn all the options you have with that
And the difference in price is not THAT hard!

"rocky" 's posts have been really useful to me whereever and whenever I read them. I don't know a specific topic as proof, it's just the first person I remember when I think helpful guys here. Maybe someone else thinks that, too...
Btw, May I ask how to become a beta tester of an aerosoft product? I'd really like to do that!

The traffic in FSX eats LOADS of FPS, so try to limit traffic as much as you can (25% or less). I suggest you read the post "Why I get 50 FPS and you might not", located in the same forum, it explains how to use the settings in FSX so have best FPS AND visual result!
And everything above 25 FPS is superb!

Thank you. I use MyTraffic X so I started using the Configurator to do some changes. For example Ryanair dons't fly to Munich so I stoped that, but I also thougt about working on the AFD, since there are a couple things I want to change about the parking positions.
Does anyone know how to stop a certain Aircraft of a certain Airline to fly to a certain airport, cause I spotted some Lufthansa 747 and 737 in Munich and the really dont belong there
I checked out FS-Recorder, but can I take pictures with it or is it just for making videos?
Hello
Fsrecorder just record your flight and after you can play it like a flight and you can change views and take screens shots.
Have a nice flights!
With version 2.16 alpha you can also render videos: http://www.fs-recorder.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=564
I think you can do screenshots at any time by pressing "print" (german keyboards have this button...) So you just choose/ create a cameraview with FS-Recorder and make a screenshot.
You can also record AI-Traffic with FS-Recorder .
I hope it's ok I'm writing it in here, if this goes on, I open a thread :/

This one's great! Instead of waiting for the correct aircraft you can work with FS-Recorder and create the traffic yourself Check it out!

I don't see a lot of this picture, but it looks good

Dude I was as disappointed as you when I recieved my new computer few weeks ago. Its not AS good as yours (gtx 560, 8 gb ram) but I expected more. 10 FPS with a few add-ons!
What helps, is the list above mentioned. Just take a sunday, shut the door, and go through it.
After you've done this, you should visit this site: http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html
Just upload your .cfg file there it will optimize it for your specific computer. Make sure you make a back-up of the original .cfg before overwriting. This should give you another FPS-boost.
You also should do some experiments with your settings. Turn of any shadows (plane, ground scenery) if you can resign it. Also lower the traffic as much as you can, these settings eat A LOT FPS.
Configuring your system will take some time, it's not that easy

I suppose you mean REX with xtreme environment (haven't found any similar add-on). I have Ultimate Terrain X, Ground Environment X and REX running and there is no trouble at all. I think FSX recognizes the REX water, which is I think better than the UTX water. Generally UTX has no influence on add-on airports or add-on sceneries.
What I don't know is whether UTX and FS Global work together, but everything else should work.
E.g. you can put together
- FSDreamteam Las Vegas, MegaScenery Las Vegas
- London City Airport, VFR London X

The WT-9 Dynamic by Aerospool of Slovakia vs. Henri Giraud in Alpe d' Huez France. This is King of the Mountains!! Do I see the Poka Dot Jersey climbing in there??
Love this one!

One more reason to get this scenery
-
Thanks for your nice comments .
I'm a little confused 'cause this scenery is available from flytampa and aerosoft. Was it just teamwork? Or what???

Enjoy the scenery by aerosoft and listen to the great engine sounds!!

Hi,
I just bought Areosoft's Lukla X scenery. It looks great in all the videos I have seen it in and i decided that I wanted it for myself. I purchased, downloaded, and installed the scenery, and all went well, UNTIL... I started a free flight at the airport with a twin otter, and i appeared at the airport, but when i tried to taxi, it would count as a crash. I then discovered I was inside of the default mountains of FSX. I have looked for people with the same error, but have not found any solutions to the problem. PLEASE HELP!!!! I really want to enjoy my beautiful scenery!!
Thanks,
Unoobiumzac
Aerosofts airport is a little higher located than the default airport. As written in the manual, there are 2 airports named Lukla you can choose, but one is marked as the right/false one (can't remember). Make sure, you choose the right airport to start at! Hope it helps
-
Thank you!
Yours looks good as well. Which scenery is that?
I think it's Aerosoft Lukla X .
Lukla is located next to the mount everest so the airport is used by many climbers.

October, 2011: At this time EDDF's new runway is going to be ready- for landings only. Due to the great distance between the old tower and the new runway, a new tower is put into operation.
What do you think, is there a chance that an add-on is produced, including the new runway and tower? I'd love it!

FPS on a new build
in General hardware (No specific - or mixed - simulator/addon)

I have looked up some prices (germany) and the i5 2500 is just ~10 euros more, the gtx 560 ~15 (WITHOUT Ti).
I know together with RAM and 64-bit version there come a few things together, but later you'll be annoyed your result could have been better for less money
And with the gtx 560 you have a much more newer card!
Hope there's nothing wrong with this since I'm not an expert :/
