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

Thanks for the heads on the radio details. I will look out for one. cheers

8pm works fine. I'm on babysitting duties tonight so my little one should be down by then :rolleyes:
 
Yes excellent night tonight! Blue threw me straight into it tonight. Never flown the ATR before, not even offline, so it was a bit daunting at first but got there in the end. I had a slight issue with my FMC and route but sorted it out.

Thanks again for all your help and input.

I really encourage the others to come join us. It really is a lot of fun flying on-line.

V,
If you can see planes overhead, you might be able to get a designated portable radio to listen in. I don't know anymore than that...

ATRs tonight..? Prepping them is half the fun. We've got to go from 'cold and dark' to 'hotel mode' which, reading online, no one seems to trust.. :p

I'll be online about 8pm on Mumble.

SV, turn on the ILS glideslope display from one of the menus. It'll then draw the boxes in the sky in FSX. You can then see for yourself where you'd need to be to intercept the ILS.

Do you mean from the drop down when i press 'alt' then views/axis indicator? I dont see anything else relating to ILS.
 
Eg for EGGD:-

I found some airport scenery folders on an old hard drive. Where do I add them please? One is the scenery folder the other is the texture folder. I did add them to my ....fsx\Scenery folder but that hasn't worked. Do I have to add them to another folder at all?

thanks
 
Managed to get set up for vatsim again. They've re-activated my account and I tested it out this evening with a quick VFR trip around Exeter.

All seemed to work ok.

excellent stuff!!

I'm around a little later this evening if anybody is about? Wouldn't mind doing a Vatsim?

have a funny story to share about flying on Vatsim on Saturday morning :p
 
I'm about tonight too.

I have a query....I've just set up dual monitors and windows see's it ok and i can drag windows from one to the other. What i would like to do is be able to drag guages in FSX from one monitor to the other. I can do this and i know the guage has moved but the second monitor goes to black screen when i start FSX. I had a google and i cant find anything that would help.

Any idea's anyone.

Thanks.
 
I think to use multiple monitors you must run FSX in Windowed mode. Use Alt-Enter to toggle between fullscreen and windowed modes. You then right-click the window you wish to move and undock it. Then you can move it to a second screen.
 
Hey, I can do a short fly tonight.

For multiple monitors, as Picnic says, right click and 'undock'.

You would then have to save your flight to get the window layout saved, or you have to do the same thing everytime.
 
Well that was a fine night. Myself, Blue and Chaders flew EGAA to EGNX on Vatsim(chaders got to Isle of Man :p) We also had Stevie listening in.

I had ATC vector me in to land but for some reason I missed the approach and GS so I had to turn around and do a Visual land. Worked out fine but do prefer to land ILS.

Still a good night.... thanks all!
