- VOR R & DME R now powered by the Right Main AC Bus
- ADF L & DME L now powered by the Left Main AC Bus
Flight Model
- Modified flight model to real world climb performance
Visual Model
- New FSX visual model
- Light bloom feature
- Old FS9 liveries are fully compatible
Virtual Cockpit
- New gauge illumination effect
- Added camera points of view
- Deleted 2D Cockpit Side/Back views. FSX does not support bitmap views
Miscellaneous
- RDMIs: VOR/ADF flags show and pointers INOP when source data is not available
- EHSIs: ADF pointers do not display when source data is not available
- Manual settings for NAV1/NAV2 receivers are restored when switching from AUTO to MAN
- Updated default Level-D keyboard commands for FSX compatibility
- Fixed unwanted RAT deployment while loading a flight
- Level-D menu items are now dynamic (they disappear when they were grayed in FS2004)
- A/T will maintain Flight Idle ~32% in all AT modes
- Fixed the A/T going to IDLE in VNAV_PATH cruise if above cruise altitude
Support
- Enhanced Pilot’s manual including comprehensive tutorial flight
- Start-up flight for the tutorial included (see FSX Missions)
Level-D SDK
- Fixed SPD light on Aerosoft’s MCP when FLCH is in altitude capture mode
- Fixed Clock Elapsed Timer state (left and right)
- Updated LVLD_SDK headers for C++ compatibility

Level-D 767 for FSX! Yessss!!!! I have just cleared out a spot in my ever expanding hanger.
I’m having some problems with it at the moment, as are some others. The main issue for me is that FSX crashes back to the desktop when you switch from the Wing View back to the Cockpit View. I’m sure they’ll get it sorted soon, at which point I can proceed with the review.

I have no add-ons, just a few repaints for the stock planes, and I have the window switching crash. It is sometimes a soft crash (with the option to restart/report problem) and a hard crash (that required a hard reset on the system). Not only does it crash when switching back to cockpit view using “S”, but it emits a scratchy noise burst after swtiching from various views. This happens whether the graphics settings are high or low.
I think I came up with a solution/workaround:
1. DON’T use “S” to switch views.
2. DO use the menu bar to switch views
I am thinking about assigning news keys to the views in the off chance it is a programming glitch in regards to the current key assignment.
Other than that, I like FSX and its new features. I have a one year old Opteron based system with 1.5 GB RAM and an NVidia Geforce 7600GS and this program chews up the frame rates, but I find it an improvement over FS9. If I want to run FS9 at 60fps with everything maxed out I can, but the filters and lighting in FS9 make the game look older.
Good luck,
Jim
Just a comment…
The Project Opensky 757’s I have tried in FSX look amazing. I find the stock airliners and their repaints to be kind of blotchy and pixelated.
Thanks for the tip re Project Opensky - I’ll go take a look.

I have the same problem with the captain sim 757 when you switch from wing view to cockpit view i get a crash-to-desktop and it pisses me off cause i love this aircraft lucky for me it’s the only aircraft that does that in fsx
This is interesting. It seems to suggest that it’s actually an FSX problem that only manifests itself in certain circumstances, which seem to be for any resource intensive aircraft. We need more data, but it’s starting to look that way.

This was one of the must-have add-ons for FS9, I hope that Level-D manage to sort the problems so that it works properly with FSX.
Me too - I’m itching to get this review done

I personally think the program itself is broken. I have it crash regularly when flying stock aircraft such as the CRJ and the a321. The only add-ons I regularly use are the Project Opensky 757s and others. I am too cheap to buy any after dumping $70 on FSX, although the Level-D and Captain Sim products look appealing. I like what FSX adds to the details of scenery, i think their new planes are lackluster, and the regular crashing makes me wonder if it is worth it at all. I usually get in the 20-30fps range with most things on high except traffic (which tends to get on my nerves) and that is acceptable performance, although nowhere near the 60fps+ I get on FS9 with everything cranked up.

Opteron 146, 1.5 GB RAM, Geforce 7600GS, Hitachi 160GB, Antec NSK4400 case (380W PS)
I’ve just tried using the fsx.cfg supplied on the Level-D forums and it has stopped it crashing when switching from the Wing view back to the Cocpkit view (the replacement settings file reduces detail a great deal), so it DOES appear that it’s a particular setting - or combination of settings - within FSX that’s causing it. I’m trying to isolate it and will report back.
