Re: Windows Update (Windows 7)

John,
Ignore the registry change. That relates to the Intel processor bug problem. MS were meant to be getting the fix out
for Windows 7 last Tuesday.Dealing with two PC problems at once seemed to have morphed into one !!!???%%%

Re: Retro RAF Alconbury

Thanks Ian for the amended AFX file.I had already changed it myself.It does seem odd that mine and others
could not get it to show by doing a code only show! FSX is a very fickle beast.

Re: AI issues with FS9 RAF Gutersloh in FSX.

Yes, after disabling the three files [ scenery x2 plus objects file] every thing works.However, as a test I put them back again and Gutersloh still worked. This lead me to believe that it had to be some other issue.But what that is I don't know!

Hello Steve , Yes there are AFCADs for ETUO but as said the first time ETUO worked I had removed them.However I then put them back in and it had no effect at all -very strange.Several of my RAF bases Wattisham. Lossiemouth and Coningsby nead the Orbx AFCADs removed. If not you get problems with diff...

Re: AI issues with FS9 RAF Gutersloh in FSX.

Hello Steve, I can confirm that I have not touched the comms in any way.I have used Gutersloh straight from the download from Avsim. The only alteration from the basic FS9 package,was to convert the traffic bgl to work in FSX. As I said at the start Manfred has been trying to help.He sent a WIP AFCA...

Re: AI issues with FS9 RAF Gutersloh in FSX.

I have just tested both of the above but no change and reading the AFCAD in ADE the comms appear to be fine.

Has anyone else had issues with running Gutersloh FS9 in FSX?
