I did not even think about liveries, and it makes complete sense. See, knowledge defeats ignorance :

Hi everyone This is the silliest thread Ive ever created, but bare with me. Im interested in buying the Falco for instance, because it has excellent reviews, great reputation, and x-scenery knows what they are doing. I already have the Corvalis, and I love it, everything looks and feels great! Now the issue. The filesize of the falco is less than 20MB, while the Corvalis is around 190MB This to me raises an alarm... what's missing? Why is the falco so small? Something had to be stripped or left out, or the other way around... The corvalis is overblown and overloaded? Could someone explain this to me, as it's is flashing red lights preventing me from purchasing the Falco at the moment, and also, understanding creates normality Rgds M

Thanks Jim I understand. Will have to start using the gps/fms for more basic routes then. Thanks Marlon

I must agree with the O.P Great! People forget what flying is about when they spend their lives at FL340 all the time. The TT is just amazing. Thanks for it.

Hello TT pilots Thanks to JGX for making an AWESOME aircraft! It turned out to be a gift and now it's my main plane! Anyway, I can't info on this and I did search (maybe not correctly)... I need to use ADF, as many waypoints on our tours are NDB's. I can't find the place to do it, does the plane have adf? If it does not, is this a real world Corvalis limitation, or anything I can do to work around it? Im confused, if everyone on a tour is turning to for instance SWV, where do i go? home? Have a nice weekend Marlon

Hi Lukasz No I think you are right I will do that too, use REX's (excellent) textures, and just sort out the weather via XSB. The beef was with sudden changes between weather stations, but it's not the end of the world. Thanks for the satisfying response +1 for you Have a good weekend people. M

ANYone with ANY advice? Even if the rex guys don't respond (here or on their forums), I am sure someone must have found a way to make weather work? The whole thing just doesn't make sense. For rex to even update weather, it has to be aware of where you are flying, how the heck does that even work? *sigh* :-[ Thanks. Marlon

Hi Cameron Very valid point, but I did the sp updates on the day of installation, and seems there hasn't been any new ones, so I am at latest. From my original post, did I understand correctly how REX weather sync works? 1. run rex, enable sync 2. set xplane download OFF, and check metar file ON I don't understand where the weather textures etc comes into play, but im sure that should work. Rex weather sync is most definitely not updating the metar.rwx file.

Hi I apologize If I am wrong, but I read the manual that came with REX for my X-Plane (latest) and set it up as follows: Rex running, and weather sync enabled Xplane running, DOWNLOAD WEATHER unchecked.... SCAN METAR FILE checked (and minutes is set to 5 mins). I disabled weather updates in my xsquawkbox to not get weather updates from Vatsim, and I am expecting that REX will now takeover and update the metar.rwx file, is this correct? After flying about 2 hours tonight, I noticed the weather never changed. I checked the metar file, and it's update/modification time was many hours old. What am I doing incorrectly? How do I have REX update my xplane weather periodically? Thanks in advance! Marlon

The plan sounds good indeed, and I can imagine how hard this must be for you to configure(the marketing balance). I would indeed support such a system, but don't let it bother you too much. Some of my friends, and me of course, are what you refer to as sim enthusiasts, and while we aren't really loaded with infinite heaps of cash, none of us would have a problem paying for P.E. I pay for a few services that I shouldn't even be trying to fit into my budget. So don't worry too much about that, but explore this idea further definitely! At this moment, as stated in my previous post, our(friends and my) hesistance stems mostly from the 'alienation' factor of time zones and cultural divide, and that's not your fault or problem, but something we must overcome on this side. Heck. we have been pondering flying in S.A using PE, even if there is no ATC coverage, the other advantages (fast updates, radio attenuation, etc) is worth it already. I wish you luck in this difficult time, but I think PE will make it to the top eventually.

Just landed at FBSK, Botswana in MU2

thanks benny seems to be the best aaproach. i tried some external apps that connect to xplane but there appears to always be better solutions.

Hey everyone. well, I am posting this after a few days of thinking and cursing. It started at my friends place when we set up his projector, and trying to get cockpit instruments on a small lcd monitor. We then found out, if I read correctly, that it is impossible to have multiple displays on Xplane, and that you need to buy multiple licensed copies, or have multiple computers... To me, the above is nothing else than absurd and insane! So do I understand correctly, having multiple screens is a no no? All that I would like to achieve is to have a seperate display for instruments, on monitor 2 for instance. Failing that, I will have to buy external USB instruments or modify and use something like this: http://www.omnima.co.uk/store/catalog/Programmable-LCD-display-control-panel-version-2-p-16158.html What's your thoughts, and how do you lot do it? One monitor just does NOT cut it Marlon

Thanks Javier Will try this tonight when i get home. Thanks! Marlon

Hi I searched but couldn't find anything else on the forums. I got the latest (native) data for the JRollon CRJ. I peeked inside the zip and theres not much in the way of instructions. The instructions talk about just running the exe, and there is no executable of any sort in there. Also, the data is just two folders full of xml. What do I do with it, how do I load it? Regards Marlon
