hello all: I have a radeon 9800 pro, support DX9. I just wanna know what is the best(realistic, beautiful) water dynamic texture or reflection or wave for DX9 support video card? thanks!

Hello again!I am still annoyed by the popping-out-of-focus FS2002/FS9 ground textures.I am the only one to be bothered by it?And, surely, there must be something you could do about them, but what?Decompress/compress the BMP-files; repaint them all????I am almost willing to pay for help on this matterand hoping that someone will reply with serious, constructive help.Best regards,Hans HermanssonSweden

I am new to flight simulators, and I have the MS fs-2000. I am confused with the VOR gages. Ther are two, upper and lower, and I don't know which one to use when. I appreciate and assistance you can give me. Please be patient, as I am a little handicapped and a slow learner. Thanks.

Hi Somewhere i remember reading on this forum about a small freeware utility that will pause a flight at a strategic point if the pilot is not at their pc - something like "remind me" or "wake me"... Does anyone know what i'm talking about :-hmmm - Thanks in advanceGary

Hello guys,I want to start a design group named Lightweight Designs. We would make aircraft such as the Cessna 152, Cessna 172, Piper Arrow, Piper Warrior, etc. Basicly I would like to make a design group who makes General Aviation Aircraft. If you are interested in Forming such a Group Please contact me [email protected] the Current moment I would need...1.Modeler2.FDE designer3.Sound Designer. (Possibly me)4.Panel designerThank You

Is anyone using Dirk's software with their force feedback stick and if so, how do you like it?Mark

A number of years ago we had a lively discussion concerning what many felt would be a major break through in home simulations.That was the ability to "online" place another person in your cockpit who could take control and operate the aircraft you were both flying as well as being able to communicate by voice real time.Such a facility would have endless possibilities on expanding flight simulator. It would make FS a far more enjoyable shared experience as well as allowing the potential for real world online training with an instructor who may live on the other side of the world but who could join you in your aircraft.He would see the same instrument panel, same views and …

No, it's not a request for a dream utility, it is, in fact an existing one here at avsim!How many of us try to annotate radio frequencies, runways, radio messages while flying online or simply doing some casual flying? what if you can do all this right inside the cockpit and from theFS2004 Kneeboard? PLUS worldwide approach plates, US weather radar, METAR's and Chat? sounds to good to be true right? you can downloadit right here from the avsim.com library! the file name is spnv2.zip and it's freeware. And no, if you think this is just an HTML page linking to external sources think again, this is an 'On-Line Service' not alinks page with flash animations. But, don't take m…

I have tried everything from re-intalling the program to manually changing the display settings one at a time. Nothing worked. The stuttering is only when I replay taking off or landing. Since the re-install I have not added any 3rd party software such as airplanes, enhaces, FSUIPC, etc. Please offer any suggestions to help troubleshoot.I have a P4 2.0gh processor with a 64mb Nvidia video card. FS2004 used to run perfectly under this hardware, it is only till recently I have been having problems with stuttering while replaying.

Flightsimmers,Maybe it's helpful to explain how I fixed my CTD's in COF.Four weeks ago I suddenly got many CTD's. I suspected that it had to be an add on scenery I installed recently.You have to know, I have many sceneries installed (35). I mostly fly in Europe with Airbis A320's and 321's from Amsterdam Schiphol to sunny locations in and around Europe, or UK, Sweden and Norway.I first saw a "Copy of xxx.BGL" file in a directory (stupid.... I did not rename it in *.BAK). I deleted this file. Then I checked all AF2 files in AFCAD. I saw some errors, and fixed them. I thought "this would fix my CTD's". But no. They went on. Then I did some tests by deleting one by one of m…

In a previous thread, #13467 "NO way, NO thanks...gates.to", that was subsequently locked, were posted some issues that we would like to address. This post refers to that thread and we hope you will take the time to read our response.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Sirs,After having seen so many misunderstandings, we think it is time to clarify them all and once forever.Adware: paid / unpaid?The concept is that the program is either used for free with ads or paid for without ads.This was said in the gates.to site (and anybody could have read it), but apparently not clearly enough, so the texts are being rephrased in…

Somewhere along the way, I must have merged a AI traffic file, which has caused some AI aircraft to be duplicated. This causes some of my AI aircraft to show two aircraft flying in formation (same aircraft ID's) along their routes. Is there any utility out there that will scan my AI traffic files and delete the duplicates?

Howdy guys-Maybe this isn't a simple question, but I've been wondering for a while now how much initial capital would be required to start a payware project. I know nothing about aircraft design or programming gauges. I don't really care if it turns a profit, but rather to simply add to the flight sim community. I don't want to attempt an airliner right away, maybe a good GA aircraft first.Thanks everyone, let me know what you think.Mike

When a person downloads the real world weather (updated every 15 minutes) I can tune in an airport's ATIS and get the current weather. However, once you start or join a multiplayer session, that feature is disabled.So is there anyway to read current weather data while in multiplayer mode while using FS9's downloaded weather? I use it on vatsim during heavy traffic because it's easier on the frames then ActiveSky 2004 is...

hi Guysthis may be a silly question but I was crusing at fl270 and was passed at a lower level but a AI boeing of some sort and he had a contrail. and i didnt at the time i was flying the b200 super king air..No my resoning was that because the B200 flys slower it does not produce a contrail just wondering if this were correct... :)

Silly question in the subject line, I know. But I'm curious as to why my system runs FS9 so well, when others don't.First off, Here's my specs:Pentium 3 600mhz512MB SDramATI Radeon 7200 64MB videoSound blaster LIVE! 5.1Now, I'll grant you that I've disabled many of WinXP pro's non-essential services. I've also got a few minor tweaks in FS9, such as the smaller cloud textures. I've also got my display sliders in FS9 set around the mid-point, so it doesn't look as good as it could, but I'm more of a "smooth flight" kinda guy anyway and don't care much about the outside "eye candy". So long as the sim works, I always say...Normally, I'll get between 20 and 25 fps in FS9 …

I am using FS2004. I have Loaded sb-fs2002 in FS9,loaded SBRelay in FS9,loaded FSUIPC 3.x in FS9, and copied FSUIPC.dll to modules folder.I then open SBRelay12.exe which says I can now connect squawkbox2 and FS2004 to this server), then setup FS2004 in Multiplayer mode and set-up flight.(When I open FS2004 I get message that FSUIPC.dll may not be compatible but click yes to load anyway)I then open SB Host.exe, then I open squawkbox.exe v2.3.I select TCP/IP with name same as used in multiplayer session set-up.I click search and leave IP blank. No game is found. I redo putting 127.0.0.1 in IP address and squawbox2(1/814) is found. I click join and then squawkbox window appe…

Does anyone know of a FS9-compatible utility that would allow me to select a specific AI flight, either by flight number or by starting and ending airports, and go directly to spot view focused on that aircraft?I know I can use ctrl-W to cycle through the entire list of active AI flights, but this can take time with high traffic levels, and doesn't work when the plane you're tracking flies outside the "local" area, and is useless for flights that have not yet left the gate, so you'll miss it if you're a little early. Ultimately, I'm looking for something that solves as many of these problems as possible.In searching for AI add-ons recently, I seem to remember coming acro…

hi all: I just want to ask, if i am going to change my video card to a better one, after that, do I need to reinstall FS9? I really dont want to do that. If I dont reinstall, could the new video card can caurse any problems? thanks

Hi, last monday I took a sightseeing tour with my daughter over my city (groningen, holland) starting from eelde (ehgg)in a c172 for an hour. Weather was cloudy with scattered rain and windy. I had a camera with the idea to really shoot everything. I made just 10, mostly on the ground. Here's why; after take-off we turned for the city, the pilot asked if I wanted to fly. Well, that was the LAST TIME he touched the controls until final! Really! He let me do steep turns over my house, some landmarks, climbing from 1000 to 2500 feet and back, trimming the aircraft accordingly, setting the engine rpm during all stages of flight! It felt so naturally (easy) after all those yea…

Has anyone tried them yet. I have the reality-xp 530 and apollo. Are these comparable? The fact that you don't have to run the garmin trainer in the background is appealing.Bob

How are the 737 classics, i stoped by there sight and noticed that they had the 737-300/500 planes, my favorite 737s, and i was wondering how nicely modeled they are. Is the cockpit accurate, does it have and FMC, and anything else that would be helpfull. Thanksadam

This is a new one for me, after I exit FS2004 it will go back to the desktop and a few seconds after that I will get a messege "FS2004 has run into a problem - send report" (or something like that I cant recal the exact wording) This does not happen everytime.Does anyone know why this happens?
