Ian not strickly true, i run FSX manually then run REX second, once im in FSX i then use the Fly Now button which connects to FSX and loads the weather. Instead of using REX to launch FSX...

Ditto what Chris said

Cool!

Are you using a frame rate limiter for P3D, Ben?

Ian

nope, I just leave it unlimited as I've had problems with limiters in the past. I just accept that London is going to be bad

Well I got the Saitek rudder pedals to work, they default to x and y axis on P3d so I just deleted them and made a new assignment. Turned down the sensitivity as Skippy Bing suggested and ticked the reverse box, cheers Skippy!

Now trying to figure out how to install VFR airfields from UK2000.

Hi Nev,

Just set the VFR Airfields to a folder outside P3D / FSX. Mine is f:\Uk2000\
If you still have FSX, the UK2000 install will add all of the entries to your scenery.cfg file for FSX. All you need to do is copy all of these entries from the FSX scenery.cfg file to the Prepar3d one, but you will need to renumber all the entries in the Prepar3d one so as they are consecutive. (And back up your scenery.cfg before you start.)

The FSX one is in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX
The P3D one is in C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D

Cheers Ben will try it now.

Nev

Worked a treat!

Nev

Yes, thats the way I always used it in FSX.

I might get rid of that frame limiter, and use the one in Nvidia Inspector, by the way.
