Flight dynamics of some freeware add-ons in FSX...Did a barrel roll in a 747-200, 500 ft. above the Seattle airport (yeah...I Know...X-Plane). I also flew it half way to LAX upside down before I got a headache.
The fact that my multiplayer connection always quits on me.
The fact that it's impossible to find new aircraft for FSX =/. Hate being stuck with the generics...

Blurries in FS2004. DX10 STILL not working as advertised in FSX.

FlyNWA, what aircraft are you looking for? Have you tried Premier Aircraft? Camsim? Those are a couple of freeware one's I can think of off the top of my head. I agree there's still not allot available for FSX almost 2 years after it's introduction. For payware there's PIC 320 and 737, PMDG 747, LevelD 767.

Avsim and Flightsim are my two most visited sites for freeware! Im searching for basic planes...A319's old model 737's, 757 (-200 and -300)and other long haulers (777,767, 330). Seems alot of them are payware...so I may have to start buying them :roll:
Isnt there a way to convert FS9 pieces of metal into FSX metal? Thought i read about that somewhere...
Also if anyone could give me a link to a repaint tutorial that would be neat. I've always wanted to creat liveries :)

Trubo-props that is capable of flying 2000kts
717 that can reach Mach 1
Crashed for no reason
Caravelle without Reverse thrust
And Jetway...... >:(

Whats wrong with the jetways?! :-\
FSX ones are fanastic.
Except when you pull a -700 to the gate and the door drops down :(
Should have made a regular door and one with stairs.

Well the jetways in FS9 kinda suck...its too high for most (if not all) planes... I also hate it when A/C randomly veer off-track during take-off
*747 sounds are copied over from 737 sounds :( *no rudder control on a laptop with a joystick that doesn't twist (very annoying to use differential brakes to turn) *unnoticeable turbulence and wind shear, even when set to maximum *V-cockpit view has many functions missing/inoperable *You have no copilot (ok i dont mind this but its kinda unrealistic)
except for the rudder controls and veering to the side on take-off the rest are just minor annoyances ;)

In FS9,
1)Having to wait more than 30 minute, burning up 2000 gallons of fuel, just to wait to takeoff. (have Ultimate Traffic) 2)Whenever I go to view the outside of a B747-400, for some reason the nose wheel always collapses and it says that I crashed. >:( >:( >:( 3)Taking 10 tries to land one good landing
I know there's a lot more but I cant think of them now ;)

Try www.projectopensky.com for most Heavy Metal. Also if you don't like the panel/sounds a plane has, you can download new panel/soundpacks from Avsim or Flightsim.com. If there's something you don't like there's probably a download to fix it.
Try www.nzff.org for help, or just for a great FS community dedicated to simming around fantastic NZ! There are more addons per capita for NZ than anywhere else in the world!

Low FPS in FSX makes me angry.

And My Dash-7 (on FSX) cant go faster than 10kts once its turbines are turned off.
And it wont go anywhere after I used the slew function.
It often pissed me off. :'(

I know one in FS9 that we all might have experienced from time to time.
Kamikaze AI, once on approach into KMIA with my AN-24RV (great plane, I recommend it, though it takes a bit of learning to get it working properly), I had a American Pacific 734 rear end me about 1000ft off the ground.

Well, thats one downside to FSX, as well as that stupid CD Key thing. I hear that you can only install it twice, then after that, you have to call MS to reset it for you or something like that.

Caravelle without Reverse thrust
What version of the aircraft is it? If it is anything built before the VI-R (VI-N, III, I, IA) then it doesn't have it. Otherwise, there is a way to fix this by going into one of the aircraft's config file (should be called "Aircraft"). From there, all you have to do is go down to the line that says "reverser_available=0" and in your case replace that "0" with a "1". It should be in the section that says "[TurbineEngineData]", if it is not there, then go into that section and add in reverser_available=1, and that should be enough to fix that little problem.
