Hi there guys, I have two questions I would like to ask. I didn't find answers anywhere here. 1. My SSD 500Gig, is full and I cannot add much more. Already had to delete less important things to add other 'addons'. So I was thinking in transferring FSX to an external SSD and do the simulation from there. Will it be too slow and unplayable? Is it possible? 2. Is FSPilotShop dead? If so, how does a person retrieve info, if you have to re-install stuff and so on? Is there a way to do it? Thanks in advance. Your help will be much appreciated. Merry Xmas. John goncalves.

Hi there guys, Thanks for the input but I 'm still not getting it to work. As advised by you people, on the defender (W7) I checked if anything was quarantined or on the "Allowed items" list and it shows nothing at all on both counts. I uninstalled Cap Sim's B757 and reinstalled it, with the defender off and no luck. This is actually the first time I have problems with payware aircraft, as I use Pmdg, Aerosoft, etc,etc. I cannot think of what else to do and Captainsim's tech support leaves a lot to be desired cause it looks they don't want to be contacted directly. It's just options and click here or do this or that, but if it's a different problem one is stuck. I'll keep trying and see what I can get... Thanks. JGoncalves

Hi there, I bought CaptainSim's 757 FSX and after installing it I cannot get it to load on to the simulation. I followed all steps when installing but I see the 4 planes with the logo 'CaptainSim' and no variations. But my main problem is that as I choose the CS 757 it never actually loads the plane. And one can wait quite a few minutes but it never loads the chosen plane. So, summarizing the problem, it installs, but the plane does not load. And I have to reload fsx again and use other planes. I hope it is not installed on the wrong file within the simulation but it comes with its own installer. I've tried to contact CS's support but no option is available for my problem and no chance given to write directly to them and explain the problem. I'm sitting here with a new expensive plane which I cannot use. Is there anyone out there who might give me some help as to how get this now white elephant going? I would appreciate it very much. Getting a bit desperate here. Thank you in advance indeed. John Goncalves

Thanks a million Jim. I had a suspicion that was the problem, but wanted to hear from the expert/experts. Thank you. John.

Hi there, I had to re-install W7 and FSX recently, and all the planes and scenery, etc and afterwards sometimes I get a message saying "computer ran out of Virtual Memory-restart". I very rarely got that message before the upgrade. What I wanted to know is if there some setting or way to stop this situation as it can be frustrating. I'm using W7 ult. I5-7600@3500 4core cpu, 8GBram 64bit . I cannot find answers anywhere. Thanks in advance. john goncalves

Thanks guys. Yes 2 dvd's were from the DeLuxe edition my first sim, then upgraded to Gold edition. They were mixed up. They're not reproductions. All originals'. I don't believe in fakes, lol. I got the sim going now. It registered again, No problem. I tried the wrong sequence. Now, maybe weeks loading all addons. Hard work. As I had a try at QW787 and seems a bit slow. I'll have to do some tweaking, I suppose. I really appreciate the help you 2 guys are always prepared to give. John.

Hi there Charlieron, thanks for the help. W7 was totally corrupt. I had to re-install windows from scratch. Reformated the ssd clean. Now I'm trying to re-install the gold version of fsx. I pop in 1 and 2. Then it asks me to register and as I write in the prod. key and it says its not right. and goes off. If I pop in the accelaration it asks for the registration first. Now I cannot register cause the reg. window doesn't pop up. My fsx version has got 5 dvd's. I'm a bit stuck here.. it's not a fake sim. I believe its the gold edition cause I kept it in the wrong holder. Consists of 5 dvd's. 2 yellow ones deluxe, 1 acceleration, and 2 light blue ones. Which ones are to be installed first? Thanks. John.

Hi guys, I tried to supposedly open up all cores on my PC. It showed 1 core and when I clicked on 4 working cores my comp just went dead after a short while .I couldn't start windows and I took it in for repairing my W7. The guy did what he had to do, as technically I dont know much about computers, and after fixed, when I wanted to start FSX by clicking twice on the icon a msg pops up saying ''FS cannot run due to the version of DirectX is not a 9.0. Pls reinstall DX9.0''. I got a hard disk for C- drive and a ssd-E where I play FSX from. There was also a msg popping up saying that side by side the 2 drives aren't equal or something like that but that has stopped appearing. And it doesnt start at all. Can any good guy please give me advise as to 1. what should I do to fix FSX. 2, If I have to uninstall what is the best way. Can I use the same harddisk and ssd? Also,3, the link to the right DX9 cause the ones I get on the internet dont seem to be the one I'm looking for. I'm a bit desperate as I have years of stuff in the sim. My sysyem is: W7 prof sp1 64b. I5-7600 @ 3.5Ghz GTX1050 8G ram Thanks a million in advance. John goncalves

Hi there Bill, Yes indeed my cloud, weather settings were out. Simple clouds instead of detailed. Although not done by myself. Thanks a million for your input. Appreciate it. John.

Hi guys, I got a problem with clouds in fsx. My clouds look thin almost in a straight line. I used to have beautiful clouds but all of a sudden they're reduced to misery. I first used ASNext which just faded" and I couldn't recover it. Then I got Rex4 Weather Architect. I use it sometimes. Anyway no clouds or very little of it. Very frustrating and unreal. Can some expert help a bit here? Thanks indeed in advance. John Goncalves

Thanks Ernie. I'll go ahead and download the Immersion 777 and if I do need it will get it. I probably do have the .Net Framework in the sim as I have a huge hangar. Thank you. John.

Hi there, just a question, I'm planning to buy the Immersion 777, but the .NET Framework 4.5.2 download worries me a bit. What is this for? I have fsuipc downloaded so that one should be enough!? Can someone help here? Thanks in advance. J Goncalves.

Hi guys, 'My Traffic 2013' seems to be out of action, for some reason. The more I try to fix it the worst it gets. I was thinking about getting something else as my Ai traffic. I don't really know what's good out there. Any advise on what to get would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. J Goncalves.

Hi guys, My in game recorder does not work anymore. When I open the window, the recorder word is not even highlighted. Sometimes it gives me an error, but it is not recording. If I try to to see a recording it shows Error and might even ask to close the program, FSX. Does anyone know how to fix this? Can not find any solutions/posts on this. Also how do you see all your previous recordings? The file if possible. Thanks indeed in advance. john goncalves

The pmdg planes will even change the heading on the crs if it's not the updated heading. you can dial the wrong heading on the crs and the system will change to it to right one before landing. Example, tncm-mpto in the Caribbean. FSX heading (for mpto/ rw3) is 30 degrees. Real heading 33 degrees, with navigraph. I set Ngx 30 degrees and it corrected itself on the crs. No problem landing...
