Dear Markus, This new traffic program looks excellent. I however am having a problem which I thought I should report as a bug. When I start up the program (very first time!) the application tries to run through my airports and aircraft files and about halfway thru, I get a message that says "out of memory" and the app stops. does not crash, just stops. Now I have over a GB of good RAM in my PC, and had no other applications running... so this cant be correct.Wonder if you can advise? This looks like a great tool. Best Regards, Eric Joiner

Hi,Is there a way to increase or decrease the runway area illuminated by the aircraft landing lights for night landings? Thanks.Tom

Can anyone tell me if Gerrish Gray's TreesV3 for FS2000/2002 works OK in FS2004?Also does anyone know where I can find a Macro( to use with FSSC) of a hardened aircraft shelter as used by the USAFE in the 60/70s?I've looked just about everywhere without success.Dave

Just had to post a "thanks" to these two!Robert, thanks for the 7e7. Had a quick go with it last night and I love it. A great looking aircraft with a great KLM livery & for less than 1mb! :)Anthony, thank you VERY much for the Lancashire update including the files for using the FirstSim 98 scenery. Testing the above aircraft, I flew over Lancashire and had great pleasure being able to identify all the roads in Preston again!Great work guys. :-beerchug

I have finished a little 25 page tutorial for the new TU-154B2 V9.0 by Project Tupolev. The tutorial covers the basics of panel and systems.Plane and tutorial are available here : http://tu154.avsim.ru/Screenshots here : http://tu154.avsim.ru/scr.htmlContents : Short description of the instruments, the custom joystick setup, usage of fuel planner and loadeditor, APU and enginestart, setup of overhead panel and instruments, center of gravity, alignment of the gyros, usage of the NVU Calculator, Navigation with the NVU system using the virtual navigation assistant, autopilot description and translation of the more than 50 voice callouts (who says what and when).This plane i…

I created a very short video of a landing sequence (about 1 min) in lenght. However the file is 350mb in size! what can I do to get this down to say 10mb. Ive seen people create longer videos that are about this size. Is there a utility I need to shrink it down in size? Any help is appreciated.Rob

Question: Often when installing a freeware panel with a virtual cockpit, I cannot get the Virtual Cockpit to show. Just a clear view ahead (and to the rear I might add), while the screen says "Virtual Cockpit" ... so I know I am in that view.I also just purchased ActiveCamera 2004 which works fine for the PMDG cockpits. Can't seem top figure out the others. The 2D panels in the same freeware work fine. Are there additional lines that should be entered in aircraft.cfg etc.? Regards,Paul RemisSan Luis Obispo, CA

Hi:Sure hope someone out there might have a solution to my problem of no landing & taxi lights. The file is: dh6c_ccg.zipThis file requires d6sky42.zip installed. I've done that.I also reinstalled the aircraft. No luck.How can I completely uninstall this aircraft from FS9? Perhaps then, a new install of the same file would correct the problem.Has anyone elso had this same problem with this installation?Would appreciate any feedback from other members...any help at all.Thanks for your time.Regards,J N [email protected]

I have all the offical Project AI packages and they all look good except for the heavy (A330's and A340's) Austrian AI planes, they have blurry textures. Is there a way I can fix this?I have a Radeon 9880 Pro 128mb graphic card and checked the card settings. I have the texture performance set to "High Quality" and the Mipmap detail level at "High Quality" I also have the Anit Aliasing set at 6xShould I change those settings?PS - I have the OSS Gatwick airport scenery, and those textures sometimes get blurry too (this is the only airport scenery I have that does this)Here is the rest of my system:P4 2.8 GHzRadeon 9800 PRO 128MB1 GB memoryAsus P4C800 Deluxe i875P P4 800FSB …

Hello,I tried leaving a message on FSbuilds webpage but I am still waiting for an answer. I hope someone here can help me.I have FSbuild Version 2.1.1 Build 154I added or unzipped the following files into FSbuilds main folder:1. fsb2updates2. fsb2_0405_navdataI now run FSbuild and it gives the wrong runway information at KMIA. It shows the following runways 9L-9R, 27L-27R, 12, 30. The runways that it should show are: 8R-8L, 26R-26L, 9, 27, 12, 30.I tried adding the fsb2updates files first and then the fsb2_0405_navdata files when that didn't work I tried it the other way around, I still have the same problem.Am I missing something here?.ThanksMike

Hello.I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a good B-17 that is compatible with FS2004?Thanks!!!

for when the Howard 500 is released?Just been looking at the screenshots at the project site and I predict chaos when the release is announced!!! :)Hmmm-- now what times is it here in Australia when it is 2AM in the US and Europe.Barry

After quite a few years flying GA a/c in the Sim and starting to tire of it, I have recently started to TRY to fly the helos. Well flying them is easy enough-- but landing them is difficult, landing them where I want to is almost impossible and hovering before landing is -----, well, where is my old Age of Empires game that I used to like so much??I thought Simming was supposed to be fun? :)And please don't tell me it just takes practice. :( Oh well, maybe I have to go back to the easy GA and even easier Heavy metal. Barry

Hi allI wonder if anybody can kindly explain to me the Vcockpit windows like Vcockpit01, 02, etc in the panel.cfg file.I understand the numbered and fixed Windows in the 2d panel.For example, I notice that some a/c only use one Vcockpit section - others use multiple ones. But I can't see any difference between the a/c that use one Vcockpit section and those that have multiples. The VC is a continuous experience so what are the multiple sections for?Also I notice that some Vcockpit sections have different sizes as in size=1024,1024 or size=512,512. Also the pixel size (which I understand relates to the clarity of the VC gauges) vary. Sometimes the pixel sizes equate to th…

I just got a sudden urge to fly a turboprop aircraft :)What's the best freeware or payware commuter turboprop? Should be in the livery of UK or Swiss airline.

Is that a bad thing? It doesn't matter what I fly, b747, 737, hercules, fighter jet, I still double-hop when coming in to land (back wheels touch down and then float up and touch down again).Am I doing something wrong in my technique or is there nothing wrong about that type of landing? Just wondering. Thanks!

I get an error message that comes up everytime I try to get into msfs 04 that reads something like: The requested flight file is corrupt or can't be found. Flight sim will now try to load the default flight. After I press ok, the default flight loads fine. Does anyone know of a way to fix this error message. I believe this started after I uninstalled the demo version on Fs hotseat.thanks for your help

Hi all. Can anyone tell me how I can find out what FS2004's weather engine is going to give me with regards to winds aloft? I always have something like a 25 kt wind at 35000ft. It really screws up the flight planning because I cant take into account the winds at cruising altitude! FS seems to randomly generate winds aloft, but it would be nice to know what its gonna throw at me!When I finally get an internet connection, and can use online weather, where can I get real world airport and enroute weather for the USA, UK and oceana???Thanksrici

I have just come back to CO from the SFO Bay Area, and noted that the grass colors there are gold, compared with green in CO (although that won't last long, our 1 month of green grass :) ).FS2004 has the same green grass textures as does CO. Is there any way in which to change this in FS2004 to reflect the varying colors between the two regions?Thanks,Bruce.

I accidently closed that "sidebar" on windows xp. I dont mean the taskbar with the start buttson--but the one that comes up when you are in like My documents, or in My Computer or something like that and has different information available about the file and different related places you can go (i.e. control panel/add remove programs) It is like a blueish bar that shows up on the left side. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,Has anyone managed to download the new Ariane preview video?Looks like you have to register or buy something?Thankshttp://www.arianedesign.com

Good evening everyone,There were messages in this forum last week regarding a movie making program that would let you record your flights. This utility unknowingly did not support MS Flight Simulator. This has been corrected with v1.1. The video featured in our Movie Spotlight is a WMV recording from MS FS 2002. If you were one of the people that downloaded our utility, please download the movie and see if you'd like to try it again.http://www.planetgamecam.comThank you. - Kataline

I keep seeing links on FS sites to goto this website but I get a "cannot find server" error. Is it supposed to be down?

Hi all,I have started to fly the 727-200 of Captain Sim again but the flight model still leaves a few things to be desired.For example during approach the pitch is extremly high, making it difficult to land (even at high speed landings) Also I have the impression that the fuel flow is rather high.Therefor my question:Does anyone know a good flight model for FS2004 that also can be merged with the CS panel?Thanks for your help,EgbertEDIT: Or can I tweak the flight model so the pitch is not too high?

Milton, I've always enjoyed your work, and your planes have gotten better with every release, but from the previews on your web site (http://www.flightsimonline.com/howard500), it looks like you've really taken it to a new level! Congrats to you and Scott Thomas and Jo
