Is there a way to make the top down view have daylight textures at night for taxiing purposes. The night time topdown is useless!???Randy Jura, KPDX

Does anyone know if there is a way to increase the distance in which you can see another pilots tag in multiplayer.David

Thanks.Tim

I took a look at the Captain Sim C-130 listed on the front page. No disrespect, and can't post on their forum, but are they sure it's a C-130? I fly C-130's myself and haven't seen any that look anywhere close to what Captain Sim is offering. Not to say the Brits don't have a C-130 with the type of panel that Captain Sim is building.Any thoughts? If I didn't fly 'em myself I probably wouldn't be asking, but I hope people don't think that real-world C-130's look like this.

Has anyone made a flight over the North Pole? and can you do it inFS2004?

I have got a Radeon 9800XT, and while I am very happy with it performance at the moment, can anyone recommend a suitable tweaking program for it?Thanks in advance.

hi!i have a problem with my water reflection and textures. I think it is the graphics card. I made two shots. One with the default setting and the other with a auto setting by flight sim. I turn the terraindetail to "terrain and water" and the watereffect on very high-> then ok. Check the setup again and FS sets it back to the default setting. Don't know whats to do! plz help AMD Athlon XP 2400 , Gforce MX 400 , 64MB

I've built a small bgl for FS2004 which removes all taxiway signs, worldwide, from the sim. Would anyone like to see it uploaded to the file library? It's easy to use--you just place the bgl in the default add-on folder. When you want the signs back, you remove or rename the bgl...FPS impact is almost nil--the taxiway signs in FS2004 have little or no impact on the sim's performance. But I know some simmers prefer flying without them, so the bgl can be made available if enough simmers are interested...-John

Hello ya'll. I'm from Memphis originally, but I spent a large block of my childhood in McMinnville, TN. As one of my side projects I'd like to do a good detailed Warren County Memorial airport, and perhaps Smithville, too. I've got some good photos, but I'm not sure they're enough to actually finish either of those two airports to the level of detail I'd like. If there are any interested flight simmers in this region, I'd sure appreciate help with doing some more photography in this area. If you're in the area (or can get to it) and would like to help, just send me a personal message through this forum.thanks,

Where can i get sids and stars now that Clearence Unlimited web page has closed down?? Bob

I'm having trouble with my spot plane view options. With FS2002, I get a red line in the options box that allows me to move the view around where I want. But since I installed FS2004, I've only seen that bar once and every other time the box only shows up with plane and no bar to move around the plane with. Anyone else experience this problem? Where did it go and how do I get it back?MickeyKLAS

I've been using MSFS since 5.1, so I feel I'm pretty experienced with the platform, however I'm having trouble with FS2004. I purchased it when it initialled came out, but after installing it on my Pentium II 1Ghz, 256MB RAM and 64MB Video card, I realized that wasn't going to get it. I uninstalled it and reinstalled FS2002. Now, I just purchased a new laptop for work a Sony Vaio TR2AP3, with a 1Ghz Pentium M, with 1G RAM and a 64MB Video card. Since I boosted the RAM, I thought maybe it would be enough. But I managed to get FS2004 installed and running, but it coninues to crash the computer with changing views multiple times (i.e. spot plane, cockpit, etc). I reduced the…

Hi Again Well Im Attaching An Coverage Map The Area Coloured In Brown Is The Area We Are Doing..If Anyone Does Not Understand It I Will Try For A Better One....Screenshots Will Be Posted In The Next Few DaysSorry For Grammer ..I Will Try To Be Careful In How I Type..Thanks David

Has anyone ever had this problem? I flew from KSLC to KDEN..... 20 miles out my FPS suddenly dove to 2 to 3 fps. My system isn't that high powered and 7 to 10 is normal for an approach to a busy airport. ( I use PAI with many airlines and traffic at 100%) A few seconds later I got a windows XP message that my virtual memory minimum was to low and Windows XP would correct it. My fps jumped up to 11 and settled at 7 after the message and stayed there until I landed. I have a 1.3 ghz machine, 512m Ram, GeForce TI 200 video card.Is anyone familiar with this? Is there a way I can keep from getting this message and just have the virtual memory set properly?Any help or sug…

I want to plan an IFR flight with my Piper using the FS9 ATC. I have the SimPlates2000 and FSNavigator programs. I am curious how IFR pilots, who do this in the real world, simulate this in FS9. My main question is do you set up waypoints based on the SID and STAR that you think you will be using based on the active runway so you get the correct vectors, or do you just turn off ATC when you fly the SID or STAR? Or for the STAR, do you get clearance to land, and then just fly the STAR from there?What happens if the active changes, and you are vectored to a different runway than had been planned for?When you fly the SID and STAR in real life, are you getting vectors fro…

Hi Guys My SCenery Is Just About Completed Except For AirPort Re Calibration As Some Airports Are Ofe A Few Degrees I Need To Move ThemAnd Also Do 3d Objects Also I Know gmax Will Do 3d...But Just Wondering If Anybody Knows Of An Good Airport ProgramThanks David

To all AI folks, we hail from a stormy rock in the wild pacific. Fs9 is our favourite choice to while away the time until the winds drop and we can head back to sea & bring you your sushi. We are from the Haida Gwaii Nation in the Queen Charlotte Islands, off the northwest coast of Canada. We have built a beautiful ethnically influenced (you've gotta see the totem-pole's) fictitious airport for the small fishing village of Masset (CZMT), to operate our virtual world from. We are eagerly seeking some kind expert who can help give us authentic AI traffic to our little airport. If you might be at all interested, I would love to send you a copy of our airport and our thou…

Can anyone recomend a good FS2004 freeware or payware scenery for Alicante? Thanks.

I am still using FS2002. I have only recently read that one can move the pilot's eye viewpoint outside the boundaries of his own cockpit, and move it both up/down and left/right.Can someone please guide me as to how this can be done?Does it require one to be in Virtual Cockpit View Mode?What are the keystrokes to use?Any assistance will be appreciated,Stamatis

This started happening to me about a week ago, when I would select an aircraft, in the preview, only about half or less of the textures would load, I thought once I get into the game it will be fine, but nope, and now today no texture will load, the only ones that load are on the default Cessna, other then that nothing, the plane just appeara Grey and un textured, the scenery and everything is fine just no plane textures, anyone have any idea's why?
