Quad Q6600 Gaming on Vista - Flight Simulator X

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING A QUESTION:) I get lots of emails and questions posted about the ground operations shown here. So to save everyone asking the same questions over and over here are some of the most popular questions answered.

Some of the answers have come from feedback on this thread so thanks to everyone for helping out.


1. How do i get a push back with a turn?

2. How do i move the jetway to the door?
----
Press CTRL+J


3. The Jetway isn't moving to the door, why?
----
Make sure your front wheel is parked somewhere between the front two sets of yellow markers.


4. Grrr..The Jetway STILL isn't moving to the door!!
----
Watch the other aircraft(traffic) parked at the gates. Do you see their jetways moving? Tip: Goto options and put traffic to at least 50%. Start at any airport at a gate. Switch to overhead view of the airport. Put the sim rate to x4. Now watch to see if any jetways move for the airport traffic. If you see the jetway moving for the aircraft in Gate 20, reload at gate 20 and try it.


5. My jetways are missing, why?
----
Scenery and Autogen need to be set to at least 'Dense'. Also, You need to enable 'advanced animations' tick box in FSX settings to see the jetways. If you don't have that option then you need to upgrade your graphics card.


6. Are there movable Jetways in 2004 (fs9)?
----
No. There are a few airport add-ons that will add them but i've never tried them.


7. How do i open the cargo and baggage doors?
----

8. Where do you get all those planes like BA and Virgin?
----
Those are AI traffic add-on and replace FSX default traffic. There are several of these you can buy or download for free. I am using MyTrafficX which cost around £15 by direct download. http://secure.simmarket.com/product_info.php?products_id=2072

You can install plenty of free AI from http://www.avsim.com. Just sign up and browse their file library.

The KLM comes from FSXAdventures KLM Misson Pack. It's payware

9. How do you start at the gate/terminal and not on the runway?
----
When you choose your airport you are given the option to select a gate, ramp, parking or active runway. By default it's set to active runway. Just change that from the dropdown menu when you are selecting your airport.


10. How do you get those buttons at the top for the checklists.
----
Those buttons are from add-on called FS2Crew. It's basically an invisble co pilot. Those buttons activate him to carry out the commands for starting the 747 from cold, and for me to activate the checklists etc.

The version i am using is the Default FSX 747 Edition
