<t>No. Active Sky is a weather engine which downloads real time weather and applies it to the sim. This engine actually tries to simulate hurricanes. Looks and seems more realistic than the default weather, although I've never been in a hurricane so I'm just guessing. But I belive the problem has be...

<t>Yes. I have Fiewwall & Antivirus through McAfee and perhaps the firewall provided by Win 7. I'm not sure how to check whether Win 7 provides firewall and if it is activated. I don't know if I could find it even if I was back in XP. Too much water under the bridge since OCTOBER, 2009. You aske...

<t>Ok. I did a search of the DVD in Windows Explorer which brings us a little closer I hope. I found some simconnect files under "SXS" (I should have noticed that file) but none seem to be plain application files. Here they are; 1. Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect.dll (Application extension), 2....

<t>Vincent. I checked the folders in my original Microsoft FSX Deluxe software and the SDK folder "Date modified" is the same as the newer disk is "9/9/2006". I also tried to run it from the "setup" file. The disk speeds seem to rise and fall but after a time nothing seemed to happen. There was no d...

<t>When I double click on the MFSX SDK Windows Inataller Package I eventually get this message; "This installation cannot be run by directly launching the MSI package. You must run setup.exe". There is also a setup application file in the SDK folder but when I double click on it the curser indicates...

<t>Hi Vincent. When you refer to "new application" I assume you are referring to my FSX installation software which is on DVD.<br/> When browsing through disc 1, I find a file folder mamed "SDK". In that folder I find a "Windows Installer Package" named "Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK" plus other ...

Hi Vincent. I had intended to mention my hardware for FSX, ie Yoke, Pedals & Throttle Quadrent, all USB and I'm almost maxed out on USB ports however I have two in the front with TrackIR 5 Pro plugged into one and the other vacant.

<t>Thanks for the reply Vincent. On this last install I directed FSX to C:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\etc. divorcing it from my previous addons. Prior to this it was assigned to the standard directory ie C:\ Program Files(X86)\ Microsoft Games\etc. where remnants of the previous in...

<t>My TrackIR 4 camera died on me and replaced it with TrackIR 5 (have TrackIR_5.0.Final.b driver). At the same time I had to reinstall FSX for another unrelated reason. TrackIR 5 is working (head movement, etc shown in control panel) and it recognizes FSX is running (right green led on camera lit a...

<t>I think I'm going to have to agree with you on that last statement. I did go back and review this thread and was reminded that you did suggest installing SP2 and indicated that it was a remedy to the problem. On a previous installation before this problem occured I had successfully installed FSX,...
