General Discussion / Graphics Card Upgrade
« on: November 18, 2020, 07:05:42 PM »
Hey,
Wondering if this makes any sense.
Current system:
I7-4790K
Asus H87M-PLUS CSM MATX MB
16GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM
240GB SSDNOW V300 SSD SATA for OS & general software
500 GB SSD SATA for FSX
GTX760-DC20C-2GD5
650W PSU
3 x 22inch monitors with Matrox TripleHead2Go
Hoping to be able to move from FSXSE to PD3. (Did a trial last year and it was not very good)
I currently have a very stable install of FSX but would like to take advantage of a 64 bit.
Questions:
Upgrade my graphics card to GTX 1080ti (now that the price has dropped)?
How well do you think it would run?
Should I install it myself or take it to the shop (not afraid to give it a try- I have made hardware upgrades)?
Of course I would have to reinstall all my RTMM and pay/replace some other products, but in this COVID World, I have lots of time😁
Cheers & appreciate any advice!
Steve

Addon Scenery and Enhancements / Getting started with Doug's Hawaii
« on: January 05, 2020, 11:43:25 AM »
I have everything installed from the list here - https://return.mistymoorings.com/efmm/index.php except :
1) Pilot's 2010 FTX Compatible mesh, which has been replaced by a newer version.
2) Hawaii XG (Honolulu)
3) FTX Planes Package
The mesh costs $57 US. Is it essential and worth that much?
I cannot find Hawaii XG. Can you provide a link?
I cannot find FTX Planes Package. Does it go by a different names?

Object Libraries for RTMM / SCENERY.DAT file error
« on: March 26, 2019, 04:56:09 PM »
I have the latest UPDATE for RTMM required FSXP3D Libraries Part IV_3.21.19 installed.
When I installed the add-on scenery Ocean Falls today, I got the following error when I start up FSX-SE:
SCENERY.DAT file error. Close Flight Simulator and
delete 'addon scenery\rtmm\object libraries\ez
scenery libraryfsxp3d\scenery\fsxp3d lfwwkbr1'.
Click OK to continue.

Misty Flying Club and Multi Player / Scenery requirements for MFC0011
« on: March 19, 2019, 05:51:16 PM »
I'm getting ready for MFC0011 after completing the first 10 Tours. Am I reading the instructions correctly that I need to install all the RTMM sceneries that I haven't installed yet? (Not including northern Alaska and Vancouver).
Thanks,

General Discussion / Aerosoft Beaver X Fuel Problem
« on: December 26, 2018, 12:39:59 PM »
Okay, so this has happened to me twice.
I fill up with fuel 100% in all 3 tanks and verify that the gauges show all 3 full. About 20 minutes into the flight my engine quits! I look at the fuel gauges and they are all at EMPTY! I have done some google searches for this problem and have come up with nothing.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Misty Flying Club and Multi Player / Moving up the ranks
« on: December 20, 2018, 09:16:54 AM »
I see from the Pilot Center that I need 16.86 hours for promotion which would give me a total of 25 hours. Does that continue on the same scale (25 hours per level)?
Also, at the Misty Flying Club page, under the "Pilots" tab, I see only 7 pilots listed. Why is that and is there a place to see the entire roster of pilots?
Thanks for everything. This is really fun!

General Discussion / Milviz Beaver GTN 430/530
« on: December 14, 2018, 08:52:41 AM »
I am new to using this Garmin model and am having problems following the flight plans.
I load the flight plan in FSX-SE, set the 530 to GPS with the CDI button. The flight plan leg shows magenta on the Garmin map and I fly at an angle to intercept the first waypoint; however, when I engage autopilot in NAV mode, the aircraft never captures or follows the path. It definitely is controlling the heading, but I'm not sure to where.
Obviously, I am missing something. Any help would be appreciated.

Addon Scenery and Enhancements / Misty Moorings Taxi Office
« on: December 15, 2017, 09:06:50 AM »
Hey Guys,
The Halibut Cove Trip Tic reads:
FROM: Wasilla, AK (PAWS)
TO: Halibut Cove, AK (PFXX)
We start off at the Misty Moorings Taxi Office at the Wasilla Airport. Using the FSX MAP feature, set your aircraft at:
Latitude: N61 34.38
Longitude: W149 33.04
Heading: 288
Altitude: 0
Speed: 0
I have installed the Taxi Office but couldn't find it at the Wasilla Airport (PAWS). I went to the map and relocated using the coordinates above and end up in the middle of the woods.
I must be doing something wrong.
By the way, I went ahead and flew the trip tic anyway and I just want to say the your Halibut Cove is spectacular! I don't want to leave!.
Thanks,
Steve

Object Libraries for RTMM / Missing something
« on: July 09, 2017, 04:25:58 PM »
I have two issues when using the Objects Tester.
1. The #5 Blue building has only the skeleton of a roof.
2. The #9 Brad's BBQ has no smoke coming from Chimneys. I do get smoke from one of the other buildings and from cabins when I fly.
Thanks,
Steve

General Discussion / Aerosoft BeaverX
« on: May 24, 2017, 12:04:26 PM »
Does anyone remember if you are required to own a previous FSX version of the Aerosoft BeaverX to update to the 2.30 or 2.31?
I own the old FS2004 version (1.53 I think). I am able to download 2.30 free using my FS2004 version key; the installation seems to work fine, but I can't get the aircraft to show up on the list. I'm missing some files.
I probably won't purchase it because I prefer to wait for the Miviz Beaver.
Thanks,
Steve

Really enjoying RTMM and Alaska.
So I have installed:
Tongass Fjords
Pacific Fjords
Pacific Northwest
Southern Alaska
Legacy Collection
Plan-G with all the CSV files
Are there any online maps showing the boundaries/coverage areas of each?
Thanks!

Addon Scenery and Enhancements / Plan-G Misty's Place
« on: December 28, 2014, 01:05:37 PM »
I have not had any luck locating the CSV file for Plan-G that includes Misty's Place. Can someone point me to that link? Thanks!
Edit: I am following the thread below me. Sorry for duplicating... I now realize that Misty's Place is not included in any CSV file. I have imported all of them successfully. I have rebuild my Plan-G database and there is no marker at all designating Misty's Place, but I know right where it is and have been flying there regularly.

Addon Scenery and Enhancements / ORBX Objects Library
« on: December 27, 2014, 03:50:18 PM »
I am trying to confirm that I have the ORBX Object Libtary properly installed. I believe it is installed in my FSX/Orbx/FTX_AU/FTXAA_ORBXLIBS folder. The only Orbx scenery I have installed is the North America which is required fo RTMM.
