  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Flight1 Skycatcher now free

I installed it to P3D and got these error messages, did anyone else get these - is this a bug or what is the fix?

As far as I can tell the file F1dataimport.exe could not be found. Once I click the ok's then P3d will load the cessna I selected.

Got the same message with the FSX version. I downloaded the c162 again today and reinstalled it with no problems or error messages at all.

Thanks Flight1 and MilViz for your latest free offerings! :applause::encouragement:
 
Flight 1 Skycatcher.

20 years ago I stopped buying products from Flight 1 because of their inane downloading hoop jumping. Trying to down load their Skycatcher brings back all of those memories. The downloader will not accept the 1212 file number.


:banghead: sbp
 
I have a fairly modest computer, how is this plane on frame rate?
To
be honest, I have a fairly modest 5 year old computer running P3d and when I brought in the 162 I did not see any significant impact on frame rates compared to other payware aircraft.
 
How do I turn on the Garmin?

May I ask, how do you turn the Garmin on and off?
I got my answer over on the SimForum:

"The 162 is not compatible with the FSX Steam Edition. No plans at this time to make it FSX SE compatible. I would suggest looking into getting the FSX boxed version or submit for a refund."
 
Odd thing is, I'm running FSXSE right now and this F1 Cessna and it's all going very smoothly

Great product which i have simply never noticed. However this is the only aircraft where my FSX refuses to shut down and requires to be closed with the task manager. Any idea what might cause this ?? Best regards, Thomas
 
Only got the chance to d/l this last night, but installed without any issues and all seems to be working as it should. Then again, I'm one of the seeming minority of people posting on this FSX-specific forum that is using FSX. :dizzy:

Big thank you to Flight 1 for this gift. :applause:

The real one ain't sold anymore and now the virtual one ain't sold anymore. Now that's what I call realism! :biggrin-new:


(Thanks, Flight1!)

If you installed FSX:SE as a "stand alone" then it is absolutely no different from the FSX:Box version as far as the Registry is concerned.

The only case where it will fail to run in FSX:SE is if you also have FSX:Box installed at the same time (side-by-side).

Hi Bill.

In that case would you suggest installing to a temp location (or FSX:box) and bring it into FSX-SE manually? I have both installed for testing but use FSX-SE for the leisure flying.
