Anybody got the PBY by Alphasim, it struck me as being a little expensive at 24$: As there plane's are normally cheap and cheerfull, this one must be something special, and superior quality, to there normal offerings!So if anybody has one, I would welcome their opinion.Thanks

Anyone else experiencing the textures of runways 6L/24R rolling up while landing using Shez's CLE2005 scenery? Doesn't happen when taking off -- just when landing. I get it using the AFCAD supplied with the scenery. Still have it after installing a new hard drive and reinstalling everything in FS9 & FS9.1. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi guys,Do you know anything about FSTweaks site? It seems went off!ThanksCheersMiguel

FYI - FLY-TAMPA has released KSEA.I'd say it looks fantastic so far. On my system (x64, Fx-57, GTX7800) no real noticable drop from the default.Joe Lorenc

After a recent reinstall I tried to update Editvoicepack but get an error message "cannot create file when a file already exists" I found a reference to this with a google search but cannot find the solution. Anyone know what I can do? Thanks in advance..JamesJ

Hi, where is a good place in FS9 to fly over coral reafs? I remember seeing some somewhere over the caribbean. Are there some replacement textures out there just for the coral see texture files?Thanks,Bill

Has anyone got Bill Lyons Hawaii package radios working yet? When I first installed it the radio worked. I was able to set the AM/FM buttons OK by right clicking on the buttons. I never did get the CD to work. Now when I open the curtain to view the radio in the VC my VC tooltips are disabled and the mouse no longer works in the VC to set any of the gauges like the flaps, etc. I reinstalled it from scratch and it still does not work. I did remove the x from the line in the VC section of the panel.cfg as directed. Any help sure would be appreciated. Thanks, best regards, Bob.

Anyone know of any good freeware helicopters for FS2004?Thanks for any information!!!John

I'm pretty sure that I used to be able to change the active runway by going into Weather and changing wind direction with about 5-10 knots of wind.For some reason, changing the wind direction now and setting up some wind has no effect at all and the active runway remains the default one, whatever the wind direction.AFCAD shows both ends of the runway as usable.I must be missing something very basic.Any ideas please?

l just did a long flight approx 6 to 7 hours...when l took off all ok with frame rates but as l got further into the flight l started to get jerky... as l landed l was at close to 5FPS what can l do to help a smooth flight...ThanksPaul Jones

Hi,I notice that there are some Bettys and Zeros AI In the Lyon's Golden Hawaii.Being the rather lazy person I am, rather than play around with dates, etc., does anybody know when these AI are activated? Do I have to change the date to 12/7/41? Would 12/7/05 work? Guess I'll test them myself, but I thought I'd share anyway. Any other easter eggs to look for?Thanks,Thomas

I do believe I have solved a stutter problem. Either that or I am nuts. I have always had microstutter from cloud draw and occasional AI stuff. I have done all the tweaks (just like everyone else in here!) Tonight I tried something different. I set my X800XL to very high settings with 1280x960, unlocked the frame rates and set the sim AND the desktop to 16 bit. Low and behold I had a SMOOOTH flight from KSLC to KPIH, butter smooth the whole time, just some high cirrus, but 40% AI and everything else just about maxxed. Any downside to doing this?? I don't recall seeing this in the past so I thought I would mention it. Only problem I see is screenshots have some banding but…

Given the age of the current version of Microsoft's Flight Simulator 2004, how many of you fine flight simulator enthusiasts out there will base the success of the upcoming AVSIM conference on how much information can be coaxed from Microsoft concerning FS2006 or FS2007 or whatever the next version will be? I think that is a fair question. RH

Just really wanted to know when the old PMDG forum on AVSIM will be back? at the moment i would like to search for past posts about the 737NG airliner in that forum, thanks.:-wave

Can anyone show me an example of using the ON_CRASH and ON_STALL events in a abl script ?Thanks.Jose

Today was my 65th birthday, and after going out for dinner I decided that the best birthday present I could give myself was a flight with FS9 In the last year, I have purchased a new Gaming PC, Flight 1's ATR72. Active Sky 5, Ultimate Terrain USA, FS Genesis US Mesh, plus many other sceneries and aircraft add-ons... and the list goes on and on. Tonight I flew a Vatsim flight from Nashville to Atlanta in my ATR-72. The flight started as the sun at Nashville Airport was beginning to sink in the west. I contacted Memphis Center and was cleared to ATL, as filed on my IFR Flight Plan. I climbed up to 17,000 feet and the turbulence started kicking the ATR around like a pi…

Hi,I have a rather silly issue. No matter what the weather is, it is always raining in the VC view. I've read the docs, and I noticed that you could increase or decrease the rain effects from the interface, but I didn't see any way of turning it off. I tried pressing the decrease rain effects button, but I didn't see any change.I installed it by installing to an empty directory, and then moving the files. I'm wondering if, since I installed the Challenger, Goose and Apache at the same time, if one of my .fx files is not correct.Any thoughts?Thanks,Thomas

I have an Athlon 2500+ system with 1GB RAM and a Radeon 9800 SE (softmodded to Pro). I am generally happy with my frame rates, but I think I can do better ;-)What do think should I upgrade first? CPU or graphic board?I was thinking either of an Athlon 64 3000+ or some graphic ATI x-series board.Thanks!

I'm looking for a checklist for the Beech 1900c as well as landing/takeoff/cruise chartsAny help would be appreciated, thanks.

Hello,I just switched from Ultimate Traffic to Traffic 2005. I am using the AISMOOTH and the results seem really encouraging. However, today, I was put into a situation that I have never seen before (only a sim pilot here)so I would appreciate some real-world help if possible.I was on approach to KBWI in a single engine P12. I have acquired G/S and am about 5 miles from the runway and at 1700 feet. At that time, ATC comes on and tells me I am NUMBER 2 for the runway, NUMBER 1 is a CESSNA 182. I look around and the #1 for the runway is about 2 miles BEHIND me. I stayed on the G/S and eventually was told to go around.What, if anything, are my options when I see that the #1 …

I installed the Victoria Falls scenery from the file library and now when I start FS9 I am paused in mid flight over the falls and I was wondering how can I stop this from happening?thanksPaul

The Red Eye Express Group Flight has now been established and things have been set in motion for the first

Anyone experience this? Whether the aircraft is idling, taxiing or in flight the throttle will toggle to 50% power. This occurs when auto-throttle is not engaged. If the throttle is above 50% (normal flight)it will throttle back to 50%. This will re-occur repeatedly after throttling back up. When idling on the stand or taxiing, the throttle will increase to 50% and will do so repeatedly. The panel(s) does not contain any auto-taxi gauges. The joystick calibration is good and was calibrated using FSUIPC latest version. This issue has occured in other versions of FSUIPC so I doubt that the culprit is FSUIPC. I do typically use 3rd party panels but it doesn't appear to be co…

Hi,are there any biplane fans? There seems to be quite few add-on biplanes available. What biplanes you would recommend for me? What is "the best" biplane available?

I'm looking at the posibility to make some ground textures for use with Flight Environment.I would be very interested in working with a capable person/s on this project or perhaps for somebody to help in any way they can.I've got some good ideas how to integrate this in to FE and how to make it work with some other exciting areas.please contact me on [email protected],
