Hi all. A month or two ago I developed a problem with my local airport whereby the aircraft were 50 meters away from the terminal and the taxiways and runways were not lying where they should.I posted a message here, but unfortunately the fix suggested was a bit complicated (FSUIPC stuff) and to this day the problem remains..But that's not the issue of this post. I uninstalled FS, Ultimate Traffic and PMDG, and started again. The problem above still remains but I can live with it, however I'm now stuck with the "help" messages to push "B" to reset my altimeter, and to push "X" as the fuel in the centre tank is critically low.Also the tags for the UT aircraft do not displa…

Perhaps this has been answered elsewhere but does anyone know of a good tutorial - in Plain English - that will explain all of the various video settings - such as tri-linear, mipi mapping etc etc ?Sure would be helpful to know exactly what all these things do and what to expect if you make changes.Thanks for any suggestions and/or links.

Was wondering if anyone could help me out with a problem that I am having. I have not ran FS (ACOF) in about 3 months and all of a sudden I have this problem where FS crashes from what I almost certainley think is a problem within FSNav.Every time it seems that I bring up a waypoint in the top left box and drag it over to the flight plan, all of a sudden FS crashes. It also happen when I click some of the boxes on the menu at the lower right of FSNav.This never happened before and I have had no problem with FSNav for a couple of years.Any ideas why this would happen?

Has anyone had a midair collision at cruise altitude with an AI aircraft??? I have yet to have this happen. With all the complaints we have about AI, I wonder what's the statistics of collisions with AI at high altitude within the confines of FS9. Since they've happened in the real world on a number of occasions, how do we measure up (not trying to be morbid but more so just wondering has anyone had one. AI has come darn close to my aircraft but no cigar)??? :-)

Hey guys!!I bought a machine just for FS2004.It's a P4 2.4GHz, 1GB RAM, 128 ATI Video, 80GB HDD and a good 17 inch monitor. I own the CH Virtual Pilot Pro as well as the Pro Pedals.I was wondering what is the best way to run FS2004 smooth on the machine since I've done a couple of flights and sometimes the simulator slows down a bit. Is there a way to adjust windows so the FS9 performes optimally?I use it along with Squawkbox 3, Active Sky 2004 and FS Time to sincronize FS2004 time with real time. Any suggestions on how to improve this. Now I run the simulator in windows mode, but do you think running it on Full Screen will make a difference?Any help is greatly appreciate…

Hi allI just downloaded and installed John Young's "Luis Munoz Marin International Airport, San Juan Puerto Rico V3b" (tjsy3b.zip).:-cool I had his previous version but it was a frame killer, but with this new version, I get the 20 fps that I set in fs9. The only thing I removed was the Moscoso bridge (sorry about that John :-shy ). Keep the good work..........:-jumpy Juan Velilla

A few weeks ago Lago/Cloud9 released a Aviano Air Base scnery for FS2004. Does anyone know where I can find this scenery? I seen it when it if came out, but now I can't find it. I looked for it at Lago's web site and SimMarket but can't find it anymore.

I'm using FS9 since day 1, but until yesterday, I used to have a rock in my view which didn't allow me to see this obvious fact:the folder "addon scenery" has an empty "textures" folder below it (in most cases, I suppose)!Since such empty texture folders cause memory leaks, delete this one too!Just wanted to share this with all of you who haven't been aware of this as well yet...Andreas

Hello AllI don't know if anyone can help me, but thought this was the best place to ask the experts!After a certain time in the FS night, my aircraft no longer display textures - they're just black. This is true for AI and flyable aircraft.Is it because the textures are mostly all DXT3? Or is it my video card? I'm using a Radeon x800 with the latest ATI Catalyst drivers.Any suggestions greatly appreciated.Rob

Hi,I'm trying to alter the position of an aircraft in FS2004 using Microsoft's Adventure Basic Language for the purpose of setting up a radar recovery after a general handling sortie. Rather than actually fly the aircraft to the start point, I would like to be able to alter the latitude and longitude, and altitude without the program pausing but cannot find anything in the FS2004 SDK documentation. Does anyone have any ideas as I'm completely stuck?Thanks in advance for any help - it's much appreciated.Andy.P.S. While I'm on, is there a more comprehensive guide to the FS2004 ABL SDK than the one you download from the Microsoft website?

Ok. I had a stable flight sim before I did a reformat and reinstall of Windows XP. I've been having CTDs within 1-8 minutes of loading it up now without fail. It always reports some .dll file out of the Modules folder. I have FS2004 with 9.1 patch and that's it I haven't even started adding in add-ons at this point. All my drivers are updated to where they were before the restore. My system should be no different than where it was before the restore.System Specs:Windows XP with SP2Intel Pentium 4 2.80GHznVidia GeForce 4 Ti4600 128MB (current drivers)1014MB DDR DIMM 333MHz RAMCreative Sound Blaster Audigy (current drivers)Sony SDM-HS93 Display (current drivers)------------…

Hi guys,I know I have seen free digital sectionals available online before. Now that I have a use for one, I can't find it. Anyone know where they might be? Specifically I am looking for the Denver sectional. I have the paper version but need it electronically for something I am trying to do. ThanksDavid

Hello Fellows,I have a suggestions here that if Microsoft takes advantage of it, we will enjoy this sim in what I will call "stages" and also we will not have to rush and upgrade our computers on each and every release.Instead of releasing every version with new implementation (such us FS9 wheather engine etc...resource eater), Microsoft can just in FS10 or FS2006 leave everything alone and concentrate on improving the following.1. Cockpit (2D&3D)eyeview point is unrealistic. Now pilots look downward as to looking ahead to the far end of the runway. Most obvious is in the virtual cockpit...which at this version seems like the pilot is leaning and flying behind the lef…

I know that there are already a number of posts on this topic, but I didn't really find the information I was looking for. Maybe someone with a two-screen setup could kindly help on this??I have (or shortly will have) two flat panel monitors, one 20" the other 17", and 2 PCs, side by side. The first PC (specs as at the bottom) I use for printing, spreadsheets etc. It is attached to the 17" monitor only, through a DVD connection. I want to run FS9.1 from the 2nd. PC, which had an AMD 64 FX55 CPU and two NVidia 6800GTs in SLI format. The idea is to connect this second, "FS9" PC to the 17" monitor through an analogue cable (the two PCs will not both be on at the same time - …

thinking on taking advantage of the reduction in price when you buy all of them at once. Any thoughts on how these airports stack up compared to, say, flytampa, simflyers, or Aerosoft German Airports?ricardo

Hi, I notice on Eric's 727 and other gmax models that when extending flaps the animiation is in perfect sequence, however when I press F5 to retract the flaps the animation for example the krueger flaps and slats are retracting immidiatly and the main flaps are still slowy retracting instead of the Kruger flaps and slats retracting last since they were the first to deploy. Is there a fix this? I have noticed this on many gmax aircraft even the new Posky 767-300 series. Thanks, Bill

I ordered my copy of VFR Photographic Scenery USA over the internet and got it 2 weeks ago.I was not expecting it to be very good. Turns out it is excellent.I have to say that this is the highest quality scenery I have yet seen in a flight simulator. I used to be a fan of the Flight Unlimited series, who were well known for their high quality of terrain scenery. (I have FU1, FU2 and FU3). But this scenery is even better than the FU2 San Francisco scenery.The area covered is San Francisco & Sacramento and surrounding areas. It uses real colour aerial photography layed over a 30m terrain mesh. There is a vast area to fly over covering 18,000 square miles.The result is f…

After reading the review of PMDG B1900C I get the impression that this is a better product than the old PMDG B1900D because of the new custom designed gauges insead of old default gauges.Is it also better in other regards for example the documentation?

Having read other reviews and comments I decided initially not to buy this product. But since the pilots tristar project is still not complete and I really like the tristar I have decided to purchase the PF Tristar, at least to have something to play with till the pilots tristar is ready. If the default FS aircraft included a tristar, this would be it. The quality level of this aircraft is about the same or worse than the default 747 or 737.The only good thing is a really impressive collection of liveries, although critics may point errors in a few of them too.The panel is very similar to default panels and there are no procedural complexities at all. The sound is average…

I am wondering if I should be hearing the engine sound from AI aircraft - assuming the aircraft has a sound.cfg alaised to a default aircrafts sound file - if I am parked with my engines off just watching AI movement at an airport.I think I am hearing this, but I have to turn up my volume quite high. If indeed I should be able to hear engines sounds from AI, is there a setting I can change so I don't need to turn up the volume so much?Any ideas appreciated.David "Opa Marshall

I am interested in purchasing a new addon and wondering what you think ?Virtual cockpits are very important to me. Does this aircraft have a clickable VC ?Thanks Steve

broke my left hand, fell on it. typing with one hand now, thinking if i could do some flying with my only right hand... hm hm...

I would like to know if any of you payware gurus know of an aircraft (freeware will work too!), preferrably a turboprop, that closely models cabin pressurization? I need a model that has a cabin altitude controller that would move similarly to the real thing regarding differential and isobaric range, dump valves, etc.I understand everything except how a normal op would take place using the system. Thanks for any help you can provide.CraigEDIT: After a little research it looks like the aeroworx B200 would work, but I'm not buying anything before I get some feedback about other aircraft. And, I know my subject line could have been less obtuse. I apologize. :)

Greetings,I have searched several forums and have found no answer. While sitting at the gate or taxiing to the runway, "my" planes start bouncing like an very rough landing. At times leaving smoke and tire marks. I have not installed anything new in quite a while. I did try and replace my controller, because I was having trouble with it also, but no effect. I also updated FSUIPC to the latest version. My current setup is about 7 months running with no issues until now. I wont list what I add-ons I have installed, it is a lot. The AI aircraft seem okay, and no wheels are sinking into the ground.PaxBrad Mitchell
