Addons that are working fine
I wanted to create this thread to provide other users a list of addons we have tested successfully.

I had bought two addons from the company Zinertek. Those were able to install (even detected the correct directory) and worked correctly. Those are:
  1. World Environment 2012
  2. Ultimate Airport Environment X

Please also feel free to visit user sancron's Wiki-page for working Add-Ons:

    Still it seems promising shame it looks like the updated FSUIPC wont be released until the new year due to Peter's PC having died.

    Originally posted by ginsb001:
    Radar Contact 4 (build 3845) works with FSX-SE. I tested through loading a plan file and getting clearance.

    You must use the latest fsuipc4 now equipped for Steam:

    http://forum.simflight.com/topic/66139-updated-modules/

    4.938a version full install.

    When installing Radar Contact it may try to install an older fsuipc4 which can't find the FSX path for registration. Just cancel out of that and continue install. fsuipc4.938a should be installed first or later.

    After RC installs, in your FSX folder place the latest version of makeryws.exe from:

    http://forum.simflight.com/topic/66136-useful-additional-programs/

    then rerun from within RC the scenery rebuild again.

    On VISTA or win 7 or later, create a shortcut to rcv4.exe in your new RCv4x folder. Set the first property and advanced property windows both to run as admin to get user rights and program connection rights to FSX especially in any program files folder hierarchy.

    You may have to enter the path to the FSX folder in some steps including building the scenery database in RC. mine is:

    H:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FSX.

    In RC you get an explorer type window for setting your flt/wx path. Never cancel out of that but change or accept the current selection. Cancelling out could corrupt RC's strartup data files.

    Once running successfully in your rcv4x folder copy the files rcv3.dat and keyboard.dat to a safe backup folder to avoid a reinstallation. In that same folder it would be wise to place a text copy of your current license key mailed to you to avoid registration again should you need to reinstall. The current key is valid for the assigned drive as long as you do not reformat it.

    RC allows a certain low number of automatic new key registrations if required such as moving to a different drive or PC. If you change your e-mail address from your initial order it will have to be manually handled.

    You do not need to be online to run RC once the install is complete.

    Keep a copy of the downloaded jnstallation zip file on a CD or other safe location should you require to reinstall RC to avoid downloading again.

http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=library

It is the 4th item in the list. After download run the tool and navigate to the location of FSX:SE FSX.exe
You must click it then click open in the tool. It will then patch the registry. If it fails to work some systems may require a restart to take effect. Again, DO NOT USE this if you have a NON STEAM addition on your computer, it will bork the installation.

OK, Scratch the Flight1 B200 Super King Air off the list again. Flight1 devs put some effort into getting their aircraft working in FSX:SE (thanks guys!), but DoveTail have pulled the rug out from under them today with this update.

I hadnt tried the B200 since I know the GTN 750 isnt working now due to the DTG update. Kinda hard to complain when DTG is imroving the program. These things will happen.
rob_rocketpants Jan 12, 2015 @ 5:09pm 
I hope you're right barnstormer. I have a feeling the Flight1 devs might not be so eager to spend time getting everything to work and tested again. FSX isn't much without the third party devs.

They seem to be very willing to update their installers to work. Jeff and Jim are on it. Good people.

The Captain Sim 727's (all 4 of them) are NOT working for many of us, and Captain Sim is, apparently, deleting or ignoring support requests on the subject. Specifically, cockpit objects (switches, handles) are not interactable, the pilot's window is unclosable, none of the gauges work (airspeed doesn't move as you take off, altimeter doesn't increment as you climb, flap position indicator doesn't move as you lower flaps, etc.). There are several threads in various forums online, including the Captain Sim forums, about this problem. The only things working are those that are controllable with joystick buttons and/or keyboard hotkeys... but without working gauges, the airplanes are essentially unflyable even if you do manage to turn the lights on (LOL).

Your OP here lists "Captain Sim 7*7 (orangebird)" as working with FSX-SE. I have no idea what "orangebird" means. Caution? Only works somewhat?

Please, could you tell us how whoever tested the CS-727's got them to work? Also, any idea where to find troubleshooting guides for these addons since Captain Sim isn't responding? I'm about at my wits' end with this, and unless I can find a solution soon I'm going to uninstall Steam Edition and re-install my MSFSX-Deluxe from the boxed DvDs.

Sadly, Steve's DX10 Fixer has been removed from the market and is no longer available. I'd be delighted if the Captain Sim 727's would just work in my plain old DX9 installation of FSX-SE.

Not a compatibilty issue. It is a proper setup issue. The manual has a very good throttle setup explanation. The AB uses "gates".

Vyxenne Jan 13, 2015 @ 11:04am 
Update to my previous post stating that Captain Sim was ignoring or deleting support requests on the '727 Captain' addons:

They deleted/cancelled my support ticket and referred me to a Knowledge Base article about the 777, which is not even the correct airplane. Here is the entire contents of the KB article they pointed me to:

"Currently we only support 777 Captain in Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition. А or other products please stand by for updates."

This could be read to imply that their 777 only works in the Steam edition, which is ludicrous, so it must be the other possible meaning- they probably meant to say that the 777 is the only airplane they support in FSX-SE. I have no idea what "A or other products" means, but if it means "for other products," apparently they are working on updating them.

So it is clear that the Captain Sim 727 does NOT work in FSX-SE, and based on Captain Sim's KB article quoted above, neither do any other Captain Sim products except the 777.

I purchased Active Sky Next since I read on their forum that they are working on a viable solution to making the addon work, but it doesn't work, yet. I installed it and tried to use with the FSX:SE and it broke the game. I am currently reinstalling FSX.
