Soya, I know this has probably been covered in previous posts, but how do you get all the ground work when you arrive at gate. Refueling, Catering, Luggage etc.
Cheers.
The 2 programs that currently provide Ground Services for the aircraft you are flying are Aerosoft's AES (Recently updated to v2.21 to include better models and animation) and the very recently released GSX from GSDT, which I had a quick look at and also looks very good. From what I can tell, GSX is free to use for 3 different airports plus all the airports that you have bought from FSDT, if you want it to work for nearly every airport (read their site for restrictions) then you will need to buy it, $29.99 I think. Whereas AES works slightly different, it also allows for a few free small airports to be used unlimited but to activate for other airports (it can ONLY be used for specific payware airports all the Aerosoft airports of course but none of the FTX airports at all, again, read up in its limitations) you need to buy credits from Aerosoft, I think a credit pack (10 credits) cost @10 euros and you can spend them on certain payware airports you have, small airports usually 1-3 credits, larger ones 4-5 credits. This method of buying credits can get very expensive, I personally bought @8 credit packs (admittedly mostly when Aerosoft had sales on but still spend @50 euros to get all the credits I wanted).
I would personally take a good look at both of them but TBH, for anyone looking for some decent ground service, I think GSX seems the better buy, but do check it out for yourself. If I knew in advance, then I don't think I would have forked out so many credits for AES considering its restrictions and cost but then again, it has been out much longer and I have had much pleasure using it, so C'est La Vie.
Guys, I need help with my FSX please.
Everything's been going fine. A few days ago I was approaching NY with Manhattan X scenery. My system threw a paddy and crashed. I restarted and started another flight only to disciver that the pop up windows like ATC and kneeboard are miniature and garbled. Screenie shows what I mean.

It's doing my head in. So far I have cleared the fsx.cfg file and restarted to make a new one and reinstalled GFX drivers. All to no avail. I have'nt reinstalled FSX yet as I have many add-ons and it's a hassle re-installing them. Can you just copy out the add-on and scenery folders and paste them back in following a re-install?
Hard to tell, don't think I recall seeing anything like that in my time with FSX. I would suggest switching to full screen and seeing if it also happens, try different resolutions. If the graphics are still perfect but only the text within FSX is screwed up, then I would seem to point to some kind of font corruption. My suggestion is to browse the popular FS sim forums and do a search for similar problems, it would be unlikely you have a unique problem. If you do decide to go the backup way, just copying the relevant folders over a new FSX install is unlikely to work for most payware addons. Nearly all payware addons to my knowledge don't just write data within the FSX folder but often make their own folder within the user area of the main drive and probably other markers with the FSX users directories. Still if worse comes to worse, you can try and see which work. Good luck.
