I was using P3D v3 and the Oculus together using something called FlyInside. Much better than the VR support that Lockheed provided. Upgraded to P3D v4 but last time I looked FlyInside had not been upgraded and I've yet to try the native support. With FlyInside I could drag other Windows in to the sim so I could see my flight plan in PlanG or interact with TeamSpeak etc. Having to remove the headset ruins the immersion which is excellent in P3D
You've just done that to make me jealous!
I did get into the downloads section using IE but I also had problems trying to access it with Chrome
Unfortunately the Dev's wife had a serious illness and he decided to hang up his keyboard so that was the end of Real AirI think RealAir have retired and effectively shut up shop

Yeah, it was recently updated for P3D v4

Are your runways 06R or 05R out of interest?

Thanks, i've got a rather annoying issue in which P3D seems to be using 06L & 06R, must be an issue with the UK2000 install.

Sim gets the runway designations from the afcad file I believe, check in your p3d/scenery/world folder for any other egcc files cut them out

Thanks, no afcad in that folder for egcc.
Managed to solve it, i use Aivlasoft EFB and the latest Navigraph cycles so everything is the latest, issue was Aivlasoft pulls the scenery listing from only one file, if you install UK2000 into the addon scenery directory it updates a different scenery file, meaning the runways wont update in external programs. Solved by removing and installing someplace else.

Looking at getting a joystick for FSX any recommendations? also after some ai traffic for the sim if anyone can help?
Is there a place for a beginner to pool setup information from? Last time I did air sim was early 2000's.
Am curious enough to have another go, however this thread is quite old and I'm concerned that I'll get a little lost in translation.

Buy yourself P3D V4 and i think this channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/oalabdullah1/videos has a few setup videos.
I'd start with the inbuilt stuff, then think about moving into some ORBX (perhaps Global base and Open LC Europe) scenery: https://orbxdirect.com/category/ftx-global
A good weather engine makes a massive difference: https://hifisimtech.com/
As do airports and planes, i only fly Aerosoft and PMDG.

Cool, I assume I only need an acedemic licence for p3d?
