  1. ahhh reinstall to both! that was not made clear by the previous answer, thanks will give it a try
  2. no, you misunderstood , i have it already in fsx , now i want to try it in fsx se on the same drive however you do not have a triple installer like aerosoft, how do i retain my fsx version of the ngx and install it on fsx se without losing the fsx version?
  3. i want to install the ngx on fsx se however as i have both fsx and the SE edition on the same hard drive all my current installer wants to do is either remove or repair the fsx version. how do i get it to ignore the fsx entry?
  4. Aint no such thing as a free lunch! how long is the lifetime of the device????? I make it more than 5 years do you think they will still release updates for it in 20 years ? i dont think so! after all this is M.S. we are talking about . I also wish they would write their blogs in english not bablespeak
  5. Je suis d'accord le prix est un peu cher mais si vous avez deja acheté un autre logiciel de meteo vous pouvez avoir un remise de 10 euros.
  6. c'est terrible ici a cote de Perpignan! le tramontana souflle a 100 a l'heure j'ai deja ecrit un review de FSGRW sur le site de mutleys
  7. with vatspy it is easier to find the regional frequencies being used, airports are the same but if you have a region or something like eurocontrol I cant find their frequencies in vatview. with 122.80 it can only be heard over a normal radios range so if you are in the us you will not hear euro transmissions
  8. if like myself occasionally you want to avoid controlled airspace i use vatspy this will show you which airports are controlled and what regions, so you can choose where you want to fly easily. I also use vroute to see what area has booked to come on line from what time till waht time with this info you can plan to fly to a distant destination and arrive in their region as they go live say 3 hours later! 122.80 is there if you are out of a control area but can see in vatspy some possible conflict so you announce your intentions there (runway to use etc) so the other pilot can avoid you
  9. if i can be allowed to add my two pence worth. As A retired pilot the initial thought of once again having atc nag me was perhaps the last thing I wanted and I also was having issues on getting connected as i found some of the vatsim paraphernalia a bit overaweing and difficult to get ones head around . I was befriended by one of the guys in this thread and he helped me immensely by helping me get online and fly using fsinn on vatsim. We did fly a bit together however he was more into using a two crew setup on the maddog (which I didnt have) and I was more wanting to do my own thing and didnt have the potential to reserve a certain time to go and fly online. But now I go online every now and then and fly mostly around europe and the Med where I live. One of the really neat things about vatsim here in europe is when you fly in say Greek airspace then the controller nearly always is Greek with a (sometimes difficult) accent , likewise if you fly in Germany etc and this all adds to the realism, I have had many a laugh when flying in reality listening to a pilot trying to comprehend a clearance that he has been issued with, so there is no need to be shy just sign on and have a go. I would of course suggest you start with a quiet airport and also get up to speed with the correct parlance but no-one is really going to cut you off or make a fool out of you, just do it one stage at a time. Although I used fsinn for a year or two I did find that at times it crashed or froze for no apparent reason, it also made the firing up of FSX much much longer, so I tried squawkbox and found that to be much easier to install and easier to use and had little or no effect on the speed that fsx started up, but hey its horses for courses, you pays your money (or not in this case) and you takes your choice.
  10. i have been loathe to answer here as the last time i posted a similar m.s.bashing thread all the cronies came out of the woodwork and refused to engage in a good debate but simply flamed all and sundry that agreed with me. If you analyse M.S. it is being run exactly as Germany was by a certain mr. H , the guy at the top taking the credit whilst the admirals , gererals were given a free hand at most things to create something that mr. H would be proud.For me M.S. needs to be broken into several parts each running independantly. What I cannot ever understand is when certain top cronies at avsim were given a look at flight before its release they all came back and wrote rave reviews for us all to read, whilst in the meantime all the rest of us at ground level were already convinced that flight would bomb for a whole shed load of reasons that came to roost. Why didnt someone have the balls to say to M.S. "hey guys this is a no no" because i suppose M.S. were paying the bill for their day there. I was flamed for making this comment last time , but what other answer can there be? did they really think it was good? Another problem M.S. have with fsx is shown in their description , they consider it a game!!! isnt that just sweet? no wonder they thought joe public would buy into flight. I am quite sure the likes of PMDG or Aerosoft dont consider it a game, call it what it is A simulation! If M.S. wants to relook at FS11, 12 or whatever the person controlling the purse strings has to understand they are designing a simulation, because very few would invest the sums of money required in a game, understandably.
  11. Is it April the first already ? my how this year has flown by.
  12. you yanks astound me in one breath you support the second amendment in the other you abhorre the recent events , it is not as if these events are rare is it? who knows the next time it happens it may be your kids or grandchildren how will you justify the carrying of weapons then??? What are you guys so scared of???? the boogey man??? you go around the world in exactly the same mind set destabilising the world, going into countries where you dont belong killing foreign nationals why?? because im scared of the boogey man!! sooner or later you are going to have to grow up an accept that the second amendment written in 1776 when you were terrified of british boogey men doesnt hold water in the modern world grow up
  13. maybe I have had bad luck, but anything that I have bought from just flight, wilco and abacus, sadly ended in the bin, I also find that most Fighter a/c suit their name because you have to fight them to make them fly! and none that i have tried so far are anywhere close to being realistic strangely enough compared to others i got on alright with the cs757 given its limitations and it goes without saying that pmdg and orbyx have raised the bar a few notches.
  14. well done after 4 years (or is it more?) of the same old interface this makes a refreshing change You do realise that you will now have to make a new one in 6 months time
  15. Francevfr make some very good french scenery and horizon make uk photographic scenery which is also excellent
