    I tried running the 9.1 update and the program hung while updating the first DLL. However some of the new files were installed. When trying to rerun the update it says 9.1 is already installed and finishes.I can not uninstall the update and try again because there is no FS9UpdateUninstall.exe. How can I reinstall the 9.1 update?? Where in FS does it look for the version number 9.1 ??? (The original fs9.exe is there so that isn't it) John.

    On my travels around the various forums, it seems that simmers fall into 4 catagories.Thought it would be interesting to see how the catagories wieght up.They are...1) The "Tweaker", this person spends most of his/her time on FS, tweaking, adding addons, testing addons, but very little time actually flying.2) The "Creator", this person spends most of his/her time creating for FS, be it models, textures, scenery etc.3) The "Flyer", this person spends the most of his/her time actually flying FS.4) The "Regular user", this person divides his/her time equally between the any 1 or 2 of the above.I used to be No1, but now I would fall into No4.Dan.

    I have recently been trying to create banks of fog using the excellent FSW2004 but have encountered some problems (See pics 1 and 2). I was using the fswhifps 32 bit 256x256 textures with 'render to texture' off. I had 4 layers of cloud, the lowest being Stratus 4/8 coverage, base 0 feet, tops 2500 feet. Sight distance was 60 miles, cloud draw distance 50 miles, 3d cloud percentage 100, cloud coverage density was maximum. When I raised the lower cloud layer to 1000 feet base, 3500 tops the result was as in picture 3 which I'm sure you will agree is very realistic, but of course that didn't give me any cloud (fog) on the ground.What am I doing wrong? any help appreciated.P…

    In FS2002 King Air, is there any way to tell if the spoilers are on or off....several times I've flown to altitude to discover the are on.There is no visual way that I can see on the wings, but is there a meter or something that I'm not seeing on the panel??

    Having downloaded the wonderful 727 from Erick plus the excellent panel by Richard, it can't get any better than this. I have some questions though to both of these products.First the model. Having never flown on a 727 I don't know how it reacts, but is it really supposed to be this easy to bank? When I turn the plane it feels like I'm flying a small plane, it instantly turn without any sort of delay, is this a fs9 limitations, again I haven't flown a small plane either, but what I'm trying to say is that I don't see any of the "heavy" characteristics I get from other big iron planes. The pitch also seems to be really sensitive. Other than this it's a really nice plane to…

    I added TONS of AI Traffic Plans, and now the AI keeps getting told off for being too low, and then their IFR flights are cancelled by ATC. What is going on, and how can I fix it?I am using FS2002, and of course, lots of tools/utilities to modify things.

    I seem to be getting what I can only call invisible building crashes. It must be new, and dosn't happen everywhere, mostly where I have 3rd party addon scenery. I'm taxiing, and all of a sudden I crash, but there's nothing in the way. I've checked for duplicate afcads. I'm kind of at a loss. Bit of a bummer after a long flight to crash taxiing down the tarmac at 15kts with nothing around you, argh. billg

    I was flying PANC-PADQ and at Kodiak, MS FS ATC had problems.First the winds were 210 @ 9 and FS ATC gave me a Visual Approach to runway 11 instead of an ILS approach to runway 25 (winds were MUCH closer to 25).Runway 11 is a pretty difficult approach (or FS ATC didn't give me the proper vectoring and altitude assignment to do the approach). After going around twice and being vectored twice for the approach, I finally gave up.It appears that you have to verify the approaches at the destination airport PRIOR to doing your flight (with the airports in the sticks, I guess). Then use AFCAD2 to close those runways with dangerous departures and / or approaches, or approaches …

In fact, I'm now on my 4th attempt to register but I've not been able to do it yet.The problem is that the site seems to reject any username I use, and I've tried a lot of combinations of letters and numbers. I also tried to register in both the "British Isles only service" and the "UK and Foreign States service", but still get the same result.The error messages I get are:1) Field ; illegal length of the field; the field must contain up to 5 20.2) Field ; illegal length of the field; the field must contain up to 3 50.Could someone help me on this username problem?

    I want to begin by saying that I take my hat off to you guys who don't mind you settings midway and who are satisfied with you MSFS performance and who look at guys like me with perplexity. Now that I have gotten that off my chest, will we ever see a day when we will have the hardware to fly the software to its potential?I've been a Microsoft flight simmer since the summer of 1995. At that time, I purchased a brand new Pentium 75Mhz with a whopping 8Mb of RAM, and along with it, I purchased FS5.1 and have been addicted to FS since. Along with all of the obvious joys of flight simming, there has been one factor that I, like many of you, have been unable to overcome. Th…

    What is wroung with MSFS and how could it be better? As many here I am a real world pilot and as such we tend to be very picky sort of people from what we expect from our sim.Always comparing what is real to how the sim depicts that reality.MSFS is without doubt a visual feast. Without going into names of third party developers in clouds, terrain aircraft etc, with their hard work that visual delight is even more real more as we see it in our real skies.The only drawback with that visual feast is that to see it to the full is a constant battle of frame rates and stutters sliders and editing for all but the super computer owners.Here I move on to FU3 (Flight unlimited thre…

    I was interested in using a program like Game Buddy to interact with FS 2004, so I first tried hooking up some high quality headphones to see what the sim sounded like on headphones.When I use the headphones to listen to music, the sound is crystal clear with no background static.With FS 2004 there is a very annoying background static that can be heard superimposed on the sounds FS 2004 makes.If I pause the sim, the static is very noticeable. If I click on a menu item it disappears until I reenter the sim where it reappears. If I terminate the program it disappears.Thus there is no doubt that the program creates it.Setting sound quality to high has no impact.It bothers me…
