Re: Where can I find the Van Nuys 1 DP?

if you were flying in the real world, would you file an out dated DP? No. Further I doubt ATC would accept any flight plan with an outdated DP. Seems to me that the web page is slightly out of date in that it should mention the most current DP or include a note to use the most current DP. Besides, i...

Re: Help with REP and Xsaitekpanels

Ok, tried this - got an error message though. Was also not really complete directions for someone who doesn't know where to find some of the stuff... Just wondering if when you ran the USBEnhancedPowerManagementDisabler application was it run with administrator rights? If not, the application would...

Re: Want To Learn Quickly! (Very New To PilotEdge)

If serious about learning, check out the PE workshops from the PE training center. It's not really all that quick but will actually teach the basics so that one understands the why behind it all. http://www.pilotedge.net/workshops Check out the following post. This should point out the importance of...

Re: Help with REP and Xsaitekpanels

X-Plane 10, Windows 7, Carenado Centurion. Only panel I'm using at the moment (or, trying to) is the radio panel. I have a powered USB hub. Honestly for X-Plane 10 under Windows 7 or 10 no Saitek specific drivers are needed. For the radio panel the Xsaitekpanels plugin is straight forward to instal...

Re: Help with REP and Xsaitekpanels

Might help to give more information about your set up. At the minimum the operating system. Different trouble shooting if MAC verses Windows. Also a good idea to include WHICH airplane is experiencing the problem. This is important for X-Plane. Does the problem also occur with one of the default air...

Re: Getting Started

The thing that put me off of P3D is that someone told me you had to pay for the upgrades, is this true? P3D patches are free. P3D new versions are not free. However is this any different than new flight sim versions from Microsoft (2000, 2002, 2004, FSX, FSE SE.....). I'm sure there are people out ...

Carenado PC12; the good, the bad, and the ugly

The PC-12, on the other hand, is the most frustrating Carenado model I own. It uses a version of Carenado's manipulator technology that I have not found in any other model, and it's absolutely terrible. There are multiple threads (including someone earlier in this thread) about making sure you load...

Re: Getting Started

Another issue is that I am running FSX on an HDD as my 250GB SSD is already full so this could induce micro stutters when textures are loaded. Expect a SSD to improve loading times to start the sim. Once loaded the sim makes relatively little use of the HD. The exception is when crossing from one m...

Re: Getting Started

I am now using Orbx SoCal, REX 4 with soft clouds and ASN and the environment and weather look stunning. Sadly my trackir is jerky when running at less than 60FPS and so I have had to reduce my autogen to medium and so low down I don't find the Orbx textures as nice as I expected (I wasn't overly i...
