The 'Official' Screenshot & Tips thread 4 FSX enthusiasts & flight simmers.

Well my lovely other half got me a set of Saitek combat rudder pedals for Christmas so that is adding a whole new dimension to FSX for me. It is take a little getting used to moving my feet rather than twisting the joystick. I'm also not that great on the brakes still either.

Now I need to purchase that headset (that was on my Christmas list too so had to wait to see what I got) and then I can look into joining you chaps at times for a flight. I know some of the lingo as I was a member of Deer Valley Flying club for several years, still am I think, if my login still works. I just struggle to keep up with what the traffic controllers are saying, they speak so fast.

Currently I'm enjoying a VFR flight in Canada though I can see sweet F A at the moment. It is getting worse too so landing is going to prove interesting. Getting a little niggled with the way REX Essentials chops and changes the weather so much, wish it wouldn't do that.

I'm very tempted by the realair Lancair. I have their spitfire which is an awesome plane but I'm trying to not spend money too.......headset is a priority I think.
 
I bought the Lancair on friday mate, only had one flight but it is lovely..has lots of character :) you may need to get your vatsim account re-activated if you havent been on for a while, I did!

get yourself a cheap headset and get online! Myself and Vuvuzela had a lovely flight yesterday in the ORBX PNW scenery, great fun.

i think acceleration is just sp2, but it is included in the gold pack
 
Also, do you all fly the Majestic Dash 8 or is there a decent freeware one?

I'd quite like a decent Dash 8 to fly. I get to see them a fair bit as I live local to EGHI (Southampton) and where I work I programmed machines to cut the composite engine nacelle panels :)
 
I have the ORBX PNW scenery as a lot of the Deer Valley members liked to fly there. Flying around Washington state is very nice. In FS2004 I had all the georenders which added even more atmosphere. I've just not gone anywhere near as mad with the payware in FSX.

As far as I am aware Acceleration includes both service packs for FSX.

I will definitely need to re-activate my account, I signed up several years ago for an event with the Deer Valley club and that was the last time I used it.

HERE IS THE FIX: You may have to take ownership of the files if windows stops you from deleting the file. Open CMD prompt and right click to run as administrator and then type in exactly as below substituting your windows login username where it says username:

takeown /f C:\Windows\System32\uiautomationcore.dll

cacls C:\Windows\System32\uiautomationcore.dll /G username:F

takeown /f C:\Windows\Syswow64\uiautomationcore.dll

cacls C:\Windows\Syswow64\uiautomationcore.dll /G username:F

Now you can just navigate to your syswow64 and system32 folders in windows explorer and after backing up the UIautomationcore.dll files just delete them from your computer. (Remember to delete the Uiatomationcore.dll file in ure FSX folder also if you installed it as the fix in other posts.)
 
Not that I have a clue what that file does!

That realair lancair does look very tempting. Payday on the 16th. If I have enough to put into savings with a little left over I might treat myself, or do I get the Dash 8 instead? That is double the price however. On that note which version of the Dash 8 do you all have? the basic one or next one up?

yes cheers, just trying this now
 
Bluetonic, saying things like that is not going to help me save a deposit for a house :-p I really want both. What does the Lancair cruise at? I'm guessing quite quick? I use Carenados Cessna T210 Centurion for most of my flying. I doubt it is quite as sporty as the Lancair but then it will be better landing on shorter runways I'd think.

Mist / Fog has cleared where I am in Canada. Onto the next airport I head.
