Is it possible to set up a flight in which one or more AI fly in formation with the player, more or less following the maneuvers of the flight lead (player) but with a bit of randomness and reaction delay thrown in so that they don't appear too synchronized to the player's movement? Ideally, the AI would be able to taxi and take off independently from the same airfield and then formate on the leader when airborne but that is probably asking asking way too much. I suspect the answer is no but, what the hey, thought I'd ask anyway.

I have had this problem since day one after installing FS2004. I had it with FS9.0 and FS9.1. I had it before installing any add-ons and still have it after adding many add-ons. I have re-installed everything and it still happens.FS2004 crashes while in the startup screen where you can Create A Flight, or Select a Flight, or go to Flying Lessons etc. It will crash after selecting a button. It could be virtually any button in the startup screen. Some buttons are worse than others. For example, selecting Flying Lessons crashes about 80% of the time. Same with the NavLog... button in Flight Planner. Some buttons crash very seldom. Picking Create A Flight crashes maybe 1% of …

and I mean friendly, this is not meant to be snarky, it's just a personal observation. It would be handy for those of us browsing the file library if you put the manufacturer beside the type, for instance Air Canada 727/Dreamfleet or Air Canada 727/Erick Cantu rather than just Air Canada 727. A couple of mouse clicks a day adds up, hehe. And a picture when you click into the info page is really useful. Personally, I don't download repaints that I can't see a picture of, but then that's just me. But there may be others. Why go to all the work of making a repaint if people don't download just because there's no picture of it? Anyway, like I said, just a friendly suggestion,…

Hello,I have a problem (and have always had it...) in the VC of all of the airplanes: the refresh rate of the instruments is way low than the 2D instruments'. For example, when I change the RPM, the tachometer's needle doesn't move smoothly to its new value, but stays a bit in its old situation and then moves rapidly to another value, and that way, it is very hard to set or control anything in the airplane.Does everyone has this problem, or is it only me???If it is only me, is there any way to fix it?Thanks,Guy.

hiI have searched the New Files for today and yesterday and cannot seem to find the Flightcraft A330-200v3 basepack anywhere.So far I only have the files: texture.airbusdisplay.zip texture.airbusnc.zip texture.emirates.zip texture.gulf.zip, but havent been able to find the the baseback.Anyone know the filename for the baseback or hasn't it been released yet ? regards, Jani

Hi all..Does anybody know what happened to the share-ware faulire generator that was available for fs9 in the file-lib. months ago?Ar does anyone know of any other good failure-generator? (where you can set the probability of nofailure like 99.998% etc..)

Friends :)One of the panels I have does not have the ability to lock-on to the GPS-generated route and follow it (like the default FS9 panels do).I fiddled with the panel.cfg and added the default Cessna NAV switch (on the autopilot panel), NAV-GPS switch & the GPS itself. But all of these have no effect in flight. The GPS displays the flight plan but the plane will not turn and follow the magenta line despite me pressing the NAV switch and selecting "GPS" with the NAV-GPS switch :(I got a feeling theres more to all of this than simply sticking those lines into the panel.cfg and would really appreciate some pointers on how to make this work!Many thanks :)

Check out the screenshot below...I've noticed this problem ever since intalling the FS9 upgrade 9.1. http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/104867.jpgAnybody else having this problem and what can be done about it?

Check out the site..I see many improvements..with no BUTS...Althought there is a question? :) :)KUDOS to beta and develper!MIke

I've downloaded three archives from AVSIM, usa_roads_part1.zip,..part2.zip and ...part3.zip. THese are USA VFR Road and Railway upgrades. Query for someone who has the USA Roads from Flight One and tried these archives:Do these conflict with each other?BobL

Hi, I want to try using Speechbuddy2 with FS9.I have the registered version of FSUIPC andwas wondering what settings I will need toenable/disable in FSUIPC. Thanks in advance for the help. Dave

Hey Guys,Posted this over a week ago in the scenery forum, but got no response...I have a problem with any red / yellow / green lighting at airports, night and day, being just way too bright - is there anything I can do about this ? I have Nova textures installed and wandered whether this might be the cause ?Your help as always is appreciated....:-cool With ThanksEddyhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/104938.jpg

Does anybody know if their is any documentation available which allows decoding of the various lines in the FS9.cfg file. I am particularly interested in the lines dealing with multiplayerThanks Barry

Ever since MS Flight Simulator 2000, the seasonal textures have not properly matched the area at all. In fact, they're downright ridiculous! Typical winter textures realistically seen in US Georgia and the Carolinas are being used in the tropics all around the world, which are lush and green year round. I was hoping Microsoft would finally get this right, but time and again, they never fix this. This isn't hard to fix either, as they had it right with Flight Sim 98.All we have to do is get enough people to tell Microsoft to fix this, and they will address it. If they don't notice it or think it's a problem, then they won't address it. I mean, it's utterly ridiculous…

This seems like a no-brainer, but why are the autogen buildings in major North American buildings always so short? A poly is a poly is a poly for framerate, whether it is the size of a five-story building or a twenty-story, so why not populate the major metropolitan areas with proper office buildings? I find the typical cities in FS look rather puny, simply because the building sizes are not appropriate in the downtown core. Even New York, which is pretty well done, populates the whole area between uptown and lower Manhattan with wimpy little two-story blocks. My hometown, Toronto, is a mass of skyscrapers in real life, but in FS the whole thing looks like small-towns…

Hiya all,Well I thought I would post this Ones And For All because I get sickand tired of my @#%% PC.The thing is FS2004 freezes a lot and this happens all for sudden and the pc does not do anything (react) so I must reset I get this ALL THE TIME.I have a:P4 2.8 not O/C.Asus P4800 MB1024 MB mem. Bank1 TwinMos 512Mb PC3200 Bank2 Kingston 256Mb 333 Bank3 Kingston 256Mb 333 ATI Radeon 9800pro also not O/C.Terratec 512I digital80Gb hd.Win XP Sp2.Everything that I can think off has been updated temp. is ok

First install was included in the patch. But... I just had to reinstall tonight... So, the first thing I did was uninstalled FS9 and the corresponding registry entry tags...Then I reinstalled FS9 and tried to reload the patch but it said it was already there and gave me no choice but to cancel the installation.How could the patch already be there????Q: How can I really confirm if the patch is there or not???

I've just re-read a great HOW To...article on night lighting panels over on Flightsim.com.The advice is spot on and nothing new BUT..it doesn't seem to work for Virtual Cockpits that still retain their pink glow. Great for my Captain Sim 727 but not so good for any of my vintage fleet.Apologies if someone has already asked this question, but How do I change the night light glow for Virtual Cockpits?If it can't be done in FS2002 has anyone seen the beta of FS2004 and the checked out the colour of the VC's for its new vintage aircraft?RegardsMark

I've been seeing the FScene ad on the top banner for AvSim and was wondering if you could tell me what the taildragger in the photo was and where can I find it for download? It's a distant and small screenshot but it looks pretty nice, hopefully is nice when you get up close and inside :)Any help would be appreciated.Zane

Hi, recently I edited some settings in Fs9.cfg after reading some suggestions about texture loading and what not, but I have noticed that my frame rates have dropped. Also, I changed a setting in my device manager under the computer tree from something multiprocessor to advanced something multi processor to fix a sound issue in Lock On, the fix worked, but I don't know if this has anything to do with my frame rates. Can someone maybe post that area of Fs9.cfg that they feel has the best mix of good texture loading and performance?Thanks,Jeff USAF

I got SimPlates 2004 and think I am a bit disappointed because the quality of the charts is of mixed quality visually, and also because the basic SimPlates 2004 package that I got on 2 CDs seems to lack a lot of basic arrival and departure info and charts that I thought would be included.I was wondering what else is out there that I might try that doesn't cost a fortune, and that has high quality charts you can print and that look really sharp. For e.g., should I look at Jeppesen as an alternative now? Any advice gratefully accepted, thanks!JS

Greetings, Does anyone know whether it is possible to map the throttle axis to my joystick slider so that I can use reverse just by moving the slider? Specifically what I want to do is to be able to set the point in axis travel in which the change between the normal and the reverse settings occur. I already checked the FS8 assignements menus and the FSUIPS interface, but found no such option. The best I could do is define the limits of the axis travel ,its sensitivity and dead zone.Thanks beforehand.

Hello all :)I just downloaded a Posky 757-200 package containing eight liveries of the major Israeli airlines.However only one of them shows up on the aicraft menu - no sign of the remaining 7.Heres the relevant part aircraft.cfg.

Has anyone managed to find a work-around to run the PSS Concorde under Windows ME?I purchased it without realizing it had a problem with ME.The PSS-concorde.gau file, which contains all the gauges is what is causing the problem (error message for each gauge) as soon as the aircraft is selected in FS2004.I have gdiplus.dll in Windows/System32I have PSS-concorde.gau=1 in FS9.cfg I have asked this question on the PSS forum. No solution so far.I have the PSS Vulcan running without a problem on my system.Pentium 4, 1,7 MHz512 MB RAMWIndows MEGrateful for any pointers.

I noticed an announcement regarding the release in Feb of Weather Maker Pro.Will this do everything that ActiveSky does and more? are there new features coming to ActiveSky?Also what about FS Sky world compatability?Any information on how these two systems operate?
