How do you add crash effects to Microsoft Flight Simulator X?

1. Go to the Windows "Search" tool and search the FSX directory for the file Aircraft.CFG and select the instance under the aircraft you want the effect added to.

2. Open the file on Notepad and then navigate to the category titled [fltsim.0] (there are usually more then one of these categories--one for each livery/paint job for the aircraft and the number increases by 1).

3. Add the line visual_damage=1 below each category instance.

4. Save the file as Aircraft.NEW in ANSI format under the same aircraft directoy (use "Save As..." and NOT "Save"!).

5. Rename the original Aircraft.CFG to Aircraft.OLD, then rename Aircraft.NEW to Aircraft.CFG and rerun FSX.

From now on, when you fly the aircraft who's file you've edited, you will see crash effects (but only if the aircraft creator included them as part of the package). I have included a link below that details the format, layout and parameters for the Aircraft.CFG file.

Why doesn't Flight Simulator X run on your acer aspire one?

FSX is very memory / cpu hungry - IT might be that your specification on board the computer doesn't meet the fsx minimum requirements. However, the new "Steam" edition has been reworked to reduce this issue of model lag

How do you load and unload passengers and baggage in Microsoft Flight Simulator X?

Without additional programs, you can only open the main doors and move the docking tunnel (look on Youtube (http://youtube.com) for specific instructions). These make it seem as though passengers are boarding but it does not change the weight of the plane. To change the weight of the plain before a flight chose fuel and payload then select payload. There you will see headings such as 'crew' with a number in pounds next to it. Next to 'passenger' which has sub-headings economy class etc. you must choose how much weight in pounds there are of passengers. This may seem stupid but airlines don't work by people they work by weight.

Using programs like FSPassengers, Pax, and XPax, you can load passengers on to your plane. FSPassengers and XPax are commercial, but you can get Pax for free.

How do you unpause Microsoft Flight Simulator X?

The default to pause and unpause Microsoft Flight Simulator X is the "P key". If this doesn't work you were probably changing control commands in the settings and either changed it without remembering or assigned another control to the "P key", which in turn, unassigned the pause control. To reassign the pause key go to controls in settings, double click the control you want to reassign and then press the key(s) that you want to use for that control.

What button do you press to take off in Microsoft Flight Simulator X?

To start launch with the aircraft you want on the active runway.

Increase thrust using F3 to 90%

Roll to about 130 knots and pull back on the joystick

when cleared of the runway use "G" to raise the landing gear

climb to about 4000 feet and level off

use F2 to decrease the thrust slowly to about 75%

Bring up the flaps to Zero.

Why does a plane look stationary in flight?

because it has no visible moving parts from the outside and, unlike a car, it is up at a high altitude, so things are not appearing to move by it as quikly

Are there flight attendants in Microsoft Flight Simulator X?

Perhaps you may have heard the phrase "Flight attendants, prepare for landing" on one of Flight Simulator X's missions. Well there aren't human figures available as add-ons on FSX. If you are looking for a cabin announcement add-on I think you may find it over the web, or ask some FSX experts over the web to help you look for them. For me, I also wanted to have the cabin announcement add-on but my PC over all memory couldn't take it anymore and I don't wish to end up in any FSX complications as I am not a computer expert myself.

How do you print out the kneeboard on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004?

There are options for the briefings with a printer icon available. However, to access the "keys" section there is no direct printer access only read on screen .

However, in the charts folder in the FSX main folder there are some of the charts used in the Lesson briefings these can be accessed as Gif formats. The same applies for charts in the missions folder. The keys section of the Kneeboard is stored in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Uires\kneeboard_keys.HTM. This can be opened directly and printed from that area. NOTE: Great care must be taken when accessing the file and folder systems to look at / print out the data.
