The systems are independent but you have to configure the X56 in each simulator. I assume you just have the x56 plugged in all the time to the same USB port.

Have you tried a reinstall?

I cannot tell you HOW to do it but I have seen several systems with that exact type of setup. Perhaps one of them will chime in. You also might try google using "sim cockpit builder" as your starting point. So the good news is that what you want can and has been done! :) also check our forum here: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/forumdisplay.php?12-Cockpit-Builders Vic

Those should work together just fine.

Usually there is a brightness control somewhere on the panel. Depends on the aircraft and the instruments. There are some that do not have that function and the lights are either on or off at one brightness level

Using the wrong type of defragger will destroy an SSD. Using Trim and Optimize will do what you want and not harm the drive. There are some "defraggers" for SSD's but they basically use the Trim command. Please, when telling someone to defrag an SSD - explain exactly what program and what you mean to avoid some inexperienced user trashing his SSD. Frankly, IMHO, if it says anything like defrag - don't use it period. Vic

I agree. Only issue I have is the F1 GTN750 doesn't display in the VC. It will pop up with a shift 3. Tech support is looking into it. I've had a couple of fun first flights. Can't knock the 489kt cruise speed. Vic

Looks very good. Think I'll add this one. Not familiar with Aeroplane Heaven but if the quality of their web page is any indication, it's probably a safe buy. Vic

Did you try the usual? Delete/rename the P3D.cfg files, dll.xml and exe.xml file. See if it starts then.

ASN is not compatible with P3D 4 & 5. You need ASP3D for that, Vic

In the same section where you create new profiles there is an entry to remove. Not at my flight system but I believe it's called Profile Manager. Vic

Or just go to the community folder, right click - create shortcut and then drag and drop shortcut on desktop.

They NEVER have supported earlier versions with additional development. Only because of many loud complaints did they even include the ability to download earlier versions. Initially, when they released a new major version, the other one disappeared. Now, 4.5 is dead to further developments but 5.x and 6.0 are still viable. Vic

If you own FSX you are fine, if not, it is a violation of copyright.

I'm guessing a corrupt install. It's usually related to Microsoft Office. Try a repair install of P3D and then run as admin. Vic

I've seen some videos where the user was using ch yoke/rudders so you should be ok. Vic

Look in device manager and see if there are any issues with your sound devices. Other than resetting all your system sound settings and sound settings within P3D you might try the P3D repair option. Vic

I had no issues installing mine either. Vic edit: this post will go nowhere. A2A has it's policies, if you do not agree, you have control - do not buy. You've made your displeasure known no need to repeat it.

In your Documents folder - Prepar3d V4 Files . Vic

Hopefully someone who actually has the AC will chime in but typically there is a switch that toggles NAV/GPS mode somewhere. Look closely in the cockpit or in the manual. Vic

First, do you know if the product is compatible with P3D? If not, don't bother. If it is, it's a bit more complicated than just dropping it into a folder. Get the freeware tool P4AO from https://www.lorby-si.com/downloads.html - it;s the Add On Organizer. Read the documentation to see whats involved. Basically - create an Addon Scenery folder somewhere, create a Scenery subfolder Put your bgl file in the Scenery sub folder you just created Run P4AO and add scenery - it will walk you through creating the xml file necessary after it is installed you need to move your airport to the top of the scenery file, you do this within P4AO. But first check if it's compatible with P3D. Vic

That said I've run into very few issues using Navigraph. I love it. Vic

Sorry you are correct - my bad. Vic

ALL the weather engines work. Some work better than others and AS has proven to work the best of all. It really depends on what you are looking for in a weather addon. If all you want is some reasonable approximation of current weather with pretty clouds - they all do that. All except AS use a "themed" approach which is outlined in the P3D SDK. It looks fine but has some limitations. AS developed their own weather API. If you are looking for accurate depiction and are the type who calculates your fuel load based upon weather and wind - AS is the only one that is accurate enough to do that. Simply put, the others place the clouds generally (theme) while AS places the clouds specifically and knows where they are in relation to the aircraft. IIRC FSGRW has been around for years - if you just want clouds and general weather it's a good way to go and it's free (at least it was). AS said they're shooting for a public beta this week. Vic

Long answer - no. Best bite the bullet and uninstall/reinstall. There is one thing you could try that might help. Let say you create a folder x:\P3D5 - now physically copy your current install to that folder. Now uninstall original and reinstall to new location; Many of your addons should work. Those that have registry entries won't. So those owuld have to be reinstalled. There's some other manipulations you could try BUT your best bet is uninstall and reinstall all. Vic
