Re: Jeff's X-Plane Scenery for SoCal and Beyond

Thank you for taking the time Steven! It makes sense and is a relatively simple tweak.

Re: Jeff's X-Plane Scenery for SoCal and Beyond

Jeff thank you for your generosity and hard work in putting together a (free) "one-stop-shop" for SOCAL airports. I have a question regarding your suggestion to disable all lego brick airports by removing the "Global Airports" folder from the "Custom Scenery" folder. I ...

Outdated/incorrect information in PE PTS

I have been recently considering going through and completing all the ratings available in the PIlotEdge Training program. Upon reviewing the overall practical test standards (list of requirements for all ratings), http://training.pilotedge.net/object/pts.html , I noticed an outdated and therefore i...

Re: PE controller: good point about 7700 code

I was the pilot with the emergency. I lost the tail engine on my 727 due to what I believe was an improperly high throttle setting on climb-out. Even with 2/3 engines, the 727 came down like a rock and I slammed into terrain on short final. Surely, the full payload, fuel, and my jet-naive hamfists d...

Re: FS Economy Weight/Fuel and FlyJSim (X-Plane)

I must have misread the Twitch video info then.

I figured this problem would just be something I would have to deal with.

Thanks for the reply Keith!

FS Economy Weight/Fuel and FlyJSim (X-Plane)

If anyone uses FlyJSim products to complete All-In assignments in X-plane you will know that the weight/fuel and V-ref pop-ups "bounce around" when connected to FS Economy. What I mean is it appears the FlyJSim software is getting conflicting weight/fuel information, causing the pop-ups to...

Re: Transponder window overlayed on FSX causes screen-tearin

I just installed a new ATI card (Radeon HD 7850) in my system, a change from an nVidia card. I can confirm that I no longer get screen-tearing when I use the transponder window in FSX. This may be an nVidia issue. ***EDIT: I may have spoke too soon, at the beginning of a 50min flight there seemed to...

Re: Transponder window overlayed on FSX causes screen-tearin

Haven't seen that issue before, but there's a simple solution...turn off the PE transponder window. Instead, use the PE application itself to set the transponder mode. That is all well and good, but is it considered bad form on the PilotEdge network to pause the simulation so I can say, IDENT, as I...

Re: Transponder window overlayed on FSX causes screen-tearin

I also have an nVidia card with the latest drivers. A 240 GTS (OEM). I will be getting a new ATi card from UPS tomorrow though, and I will let you guys know if I still get the issue with ATi.

Transponder window overlayed on FSX causes screen-tearing

I am currently enjoying my free-trial of PilotEdge and will probably end up paying to stay on-board, but I am having a big problem with the PE transponder window that appears in the corner of my FSX sim causing screen-tearing. The problem goes like this: Load FSX as I always have; get into simulatio...
