My uncle was in the Flying the Hump in ww2 but I was suprised that the C-46 was the main plane that did the job, it can fly higher faster, longer in range, and much more cargo. Iam looking for theflight plans of that time of flying the Hump, does anyone have a goodwebsite for this? Thanks.

Guys, some help appreciated if possible.I am working on an aviation illustration of the USAF T-34A that happens to be hanging at the USAF Museum at Wright Patterson AFB. I am looking (desparately!) for pictures of this airplane that show clearly what the right and left side markings are. There are two pics on the net, but both are quarter angle front shots that do not show the sides clearly. If anybody has a picture or two that can post here or email, it would be greatly appreciated. (Im also going to release a major update to my T-34 USAF skins as well.)This is a T-34A Mentor S/N 53-3310 bare metal with orange day gloflashing. Has side marks that read "T.D - somethi…

Hello guys,I posting here because I cant find anything for how the FS9 sounds work, and how to make them.Eny help?Tnxs in advanced!

Can anyone explain the differences between AS2004 and FSmeteo?I thought they both basically did the same thing but maybe I'm wrong.Thanks!

Hiya all,Can anyone help I can't get back my colors I have this stupid screen this is only in games and not in XP itself.I really do not know what is wrong here????????????http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/80626.jpg

Took an old machine and upgraded it for $208.00Changed to: (From TigerDirect)Motherboard - Asus A7V8X-X 61.99 (Old was Gigabyte)Processor - AMD Athlon 3000+ 129.97 (After rebate)CPU Fan - Speeze (3000+ Rated) 15.99 (A Must Do !!!) Used Existing Parts Which Included:512 MB PC 2700 - 333 DDR MemoryNvidia TI Geforce 4400/128The results were dramatic. Frame rates easily in the 20's with important sliders maxed. Smooth and fun, even on landing.My first self-installed motherboard. Nothing to it. Even rebooted WindowsXP without reinstall.Going from an 1800+, this was a major league improvement.Bob (Lecanto, Fl)

Hi,Anyone here going to the FS2004 show this weekend?, I am going to be there on saturday, just wondered if any other AVSIMMER's were going?CheersDan.

I have a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro that has worked almsot flawlessly since 1998. :-) Until yesterday. :-( After doing some unrelated troubleshooting in my system the joystick wasn't recognised. I managed to add it through the Control Panel, but now the force feedback causes severe frame rate drops in FS2004. My framerate is usually pinned at 25, but goes down to 9 when having any of the forces enabled (except "crash effects", "stick shaker" and "retractable gear thumps" - they don't seem to have any adverse effect). If I have the "ground bumps" force enabled the framerate even goes down to 1 when moving on the ground, so the sim becomes totally unusable. If …

Is there a perfomance advantage to using Ardvark AI aircraft versus the default A/C? I ask because I would like to being using other AI, but do not want to take a huge hit on FPS. Thanks for those with the knowledge and patience to answer me!

Hello.I'm wondering if someone can answer a question for me regarding B. Gaurant's A-300 panel for FS2004. I have tried to e-mail him regarding this but the messages are getting bounced back.With all of the updates for FS2004 for this panel one thing still seems to be not working correctly. The brakes don't work at all. If I remove the panel the brakes work fine.Does anyone know if this problem can be fixed? I don't know if it's something with my install or what. All other aircraft work okay.If anyone knows anything about this I would appreciate the input.Thanks!

I'm trying to relocate a couple of files that I had on my FS9 before I had to reinstall the program because of corruption. One is the VSI and trim file for the minimized guage view of the C172 etc.The other is the list of real world airlines to place in the menu when selecting aircraft details, tail numbers etc. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Can anyone help me get rid of these ugly colors I don't know how I got them?????Only in XP the normal color will appair and games look like thishttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/80627.jpg

Other than toe braking, are there any other reasons to switch from gameport to usb?

I'm wondering does anyone have word and/or confirmation about the actual look of the 7E7??? Just like everyone else I've seen concept pictures and thought it looked interesting but nothing has been confirmed. It's kind of like how the Stealth fighter was back in the 80s. You had these mockups that looked nothing like the actual bird when it was finally revealed. I know this is Flight Simulator and basically anything goes but seeing all these real world repaints for a concept design made me want to ask the question. Some of you guys might know something I don't. It would be real funny to see the real bird come out looking nothing like we expected (actually I hope tha…

I know I'm a bit of a "late-comer". I've been a fan of SF Marchetti and had just installed RealAir 172SP. However, I noticed a couple of strange problems ---i) the 172 "unpredictable" tendency to roll left AND sometimes right during take-off !!! Left-roll tendency is understandable, but right-roll tendency ??? This can happen even during level cruise and even descent. A checkride in other aircraft (eg. SF260, etc.) shows the left-turning tendency is still there and working fine.ii) after installing 172, I noticed the Heading Bug (as well as VOR pointers) are no longer pointing at North by default. Instead, for ALL other aircrafts as well, these all now point to about 30…

I'm interested in improving my frame rates with Ultimate Traffic installed. To accomplish this, I'd like to replace the aircraft models with AI Aardvark models (are there any faster ones?). I'm starting with the most-used planes as AI, and working my way down the list. I actually started this project a long while ago, installing the AIA planes, using UT to reassign the flights to the new plane, etc. - but I'm still looking for an easier way. Here's my question: Is it necessary to replace the liveries/paint schemes when using the AIA models, or can I just rename the AIA model to whatever UT calls it's planes model and go? A few mis-aligned textures won't bug me too m…

I just ordered this a/c, the cc purchase was approved, but I have yet to get an e-mail with a download link. Maybe I'm impatient at 30 minutes. The page that has the purchase details is all in Spanish, and there didn't appear to be any download link at that stage of the procedure so I assumed that an e-mail would arrive with it. I clipped the activation code to a doc so at least I have that. Anyone else having trouble with this? I see another comment in another thread but appears to be related to being unable to read the manuals rather than a problem accessing the product.Thanks for any responses.Bruce.

Anyone purchase the new Vans 717 and try it out, let me know.Thanks,JB

I have had experience adding textures to aircraft but this has me baffled.I downloaded a total of 5 additional textures to dreamwings Embrarer 170, and installed them into the Embrarer aircraft folder.I then edited the aircraft.cfg using the section as a template.I added 5 additional sections and edited each for the proper UI and texture entries.When I finished, only the first 2 show up with the original house colors. Other aircraft I have have multiple configurations greater than 3, how come the 170 won't?Any ideas?

I want to fly to Aspen Colorado tomorrow and I need some suggestions on what airport to start from. I am looking for a airport that has interesting surroundings (like in the moutains) and that is no more than 600 to 700 miles from Aspen. Im going to fly one of my business jets there so I would need a airport with a runway long enough so a Citation X, Citation II, or a Beechjet can take off from.Im sure there are alot of interesting airports in FS9 that I haven't been to yet. :-)

Hello.I was wondering if someone would be willing to help me out. I am trying to use some military base AFCAD's for FS2004 that were created by someone else but there are some problems with them and I don't know enough about the program to try and fix them.A couple of the problems include aircraft not landing and aircraft getting stuck after moving off of the runway. The not landing problem is one I haven't heard of before either because it's the aircraft that tells the tower he is "going around" and not the tower telling the aircraft to "go around". Also, if I'm flying into the same airport(s) I have no problem (with ATC or anything else).I was hoping someone would be…

IFDG website has been down for 3 days now, did I miss some news (hopefully this group did not disband like so many other freeware developers)?Crossing our fingers!

I was just about to take the plunge with purchasing that tasty looking PMDG 737 NG package, when I noticed thatone of the running requirements is having Win XP installed! Then I noticed that the same goes for the Becch 1900D whch I already have and apparently running well in Windows Me (I didn't notice the requiremnt when I purchased it). Questions: Has anyone else installed the PMDG 737 in WinMe? and if so how does it function if at all? What improvements to both PMDG packages could I expect if I change to winXP?Thanks in advance for any help.

What are the add-ons for FS2004 that allow the smooth transition of weather, clouds, etc.?What I mean by smooth transition is the weather not instantly changing from a few clouds around to, say, 5 mi. visibility while flying along.If I'm not mistaken AS2004 does this but are there any others?

Anyone know whats up with their forums?
