Okay......I have found a possible solution to those of you having trouble with gear and control surface animations for the older aircraft in FS2004.After installing the aircraft, and selecting it, if you find that you don't see any gear or other animation, you can open your FS9.cfg and find the following section:(FrameCallNoWarn) >>>I have used parathesis instead of bracketsThe aircraft in question should be listed here. Change the entry from 0 (zero) to 1 and save. This should solve the problem.

Does anyone know of a way to read the .wx weather files. I would like to try and make a kneeboard that gives all the weather info using the downloaded default weather instead of having to use FS Meteo or another like program. Any help will be greatly appreciated.David

I recently upgraded (nobody laugh!) from a NVIDIA TNT2 card to the NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX/MX400. (Hey, I got it for free, and it WAS an upgrade.) I don't recall seeing this with my TNT2 card, but with my GeForce card plugged in, when I click the "Advanced" button on my Display Properties "Settings" page, and then click on "Adaptor" and "Properties" it tells the card is located in a PCI bus slot, even though it's plugged into an AGP slot. When I click on the "GeForce 2 MX/MX400" tab installed by the Nvidia drivers, it tells me the "Bus type" is "AGP (PCI Mode)".Does anyone know why my OS (Windows 2000, service pack 3) is registering my GeForce 2 as being in "PCI Mode" or whe…

Hi, just a quixk question here in this forum, as the PAI forum seems to have a technical difficulty with my login:I have downloaded several texture repaints for the PAI A 330. However, from the repaint I cannot tell which PAI A330 it is that I need to apply the texture files to. The A330-200? The A330-300? WHich engine? The downloads don't specify it, so which version is the "default"? Currently, many of my own repainted 330s appear without any textures, just a grey "unpainted" fuselage.Thanks for any hints

I know Captin Sim's 727 is the best payware 727 available, but what is the best freeware 727 available?

The other day someone referred me to the paint kits as the source of the PAI mdl's.... I never really flew with AI much--having a slower system really choked things when AI was around. As an experiment, I replaced my default airliner models (the Boeings, MD-83, and DASH) with the PAI models.... Wow--it's like night and day... I can have several models in sight at the same time using the default traffic.bgl with no hit in fps... Just one of the default models would have cut fps by a third before...Regret not doing this a year ago...A question--are there any AI substitutes for the GA aircraft in MSFS? I'd like to try the same experiment with the default Cessnas, etc..…

Just thought I would pass this along that the new MegaScenery title now includes winter textures as well and no longer just summer textures. The spring and fall textures are the same as summer so now you can use this year around. You no longer only have to use this in the summer like there Southern Cali scenery (patch coming for that soon).

This is a follow-up to a previous post..I have just confirmed with another user of Pro Pedals USB the same problem. When I calibrate the Pro Pedals USB via the Control Manager, for some reason the X axis for the left braking is sticking at a value of 5 - 7 and not returning to a zero setting when the pedals are centered. If I just slightly touch the the left pedal, it causes these very tiny X axis spikes. But these spikes are enough to cause all Aircraft to pull slightly to the left. I would like to hear from other Pro Pedals USB users if this is a common problem that you are just living with, or one that you may have reported to CH Products (what was CH Products respo…

I tried Dr gauge but it can delete files in use.Add It Pro is payware.What happened to Jab gauge it was great in Fs98 but won't work in Fs2004.Know of a good utility??

Hello,Been using the Reality XP addons for quite a while. When I installed them into my FS2004 system (FS2002 is now off of my system) and fired up the first aircraft that I had them installed in (DF Archer) I found that the unit powers up BUT NO KEYS RESPOND. I hear the clicks but the unit does not respond. The Garmin Simulator is runnig at the bottom of the screen but the Unit does not work. I installed it into the Beach Baron witht the Reality Xp Configuration prog but have the same result.So - it powers up - the Garmin Trainer Starts - the unit is on the screen with "power" but no keys respond.Anyone else in the same trouble?????Thanks,Ron [email protected]

I have Directx 9.0a installed -- when I run DXDIAG, I have only one page called SOUND -- but my friend has 2 called Sound1 and Sound2. I have also found that others have this as well.Could anybody possibly this explain for me.Thanks Barry

Is it possible to keep the general aviation traffic out of the big airports like JFK, LHR, or Kansai using AFCAD2?

ATI just posted the release of the Cat 9.10 drivers. I'm downloading (22mByte) now so don't know anything about them or what improvements have been made. The betas have been out for quite awhile now so, hopefully, there should be some improvements???Larry S.

Hello, (hope this is the correct forum to post) I have a strange display problem with FS2004, and cannot figure out how to eliminate it. Only during night-time flights, there's a huge, gray 'cross' under my aircraft, and only over large bodies of water. The cross is on the surface of the water. Beyond this (solid) cross, I can see the water looks dark-aqua, which is normal I think, for night-time flying. Dusk, Dawn, and day-flights look very nice over ocean waters (Great Lakes, etc). But as soon as dusk slowly turns to night, that solid grey-cross 'creeps-in' and is displayed on the water again. It's very large, about 50x50 miles in size. I 'was' getting 'checkerboard' …

i dont know if its just me and my system but ive noticed that the water colour looks terrible in FS2004 for starters its too light at night & day for that matter but more importantly as the sim only renders a relativly small area around the aircraft so that at high altitudes you can clearly see the edge of the rendered area which goes from dark to bright green (day time water colour)and looks terrible and unrealistic!!!. Ive never heard anybody else complain about this issue so is it normal and has anybody else noticed it in fs2004, and if so is there a fix for this, is it possible to increase the size of the rendered area around the aircraft so you cant see the ed…

A few days back I started to experience problems with the autopilot system in FS2004. After a few minutes in flight my autopilot system switches off and I have no way to turn it on again. A couple of minutes later the airplane

does anyone know of a decent utility or gauge which will play mp3 files whilst in flight, somthing that is accessable from the cockpit??

Hi all,my FS2004 crashes after quitting/exiting and gives me the message if I wanna send the report to M$. But all works mostly well with FS2k4!Another problem is that FS2k4 re-creates the scenery database again at each start of it, just like FS2k2 does it for a looong time now with me. I already checked the scenery.cfg if any number has a discontinuity or else... What causes both FS to do so?Sometime FS2k4 freezes when I change the view too fast with my CH-YOKE and sometimes it freezes without a reason I could notice.Please, has any one any tipps and help? I cannot find workable solutions within this forum. There are sooo many postings how to tweak etc.I already have th…

I recently aquired FS 2004 and at first all the textures were clear. However, recently after downloading a few addons and aircraft I noticed that the textures from the buildings to the Aircraft are blured. What can be causing this, and how can I fix it.Thank you

I think we've been here before, but in the hope that someone may have worked this out by now ............Has anyone yet managed to get the Arrcab Arrestor Cables utility to work in FS2004 ? - it was made for FS2002. I have FSUIPC(registered version ) . When I start ArrCab it tells me ( quite truthfully ) that FS2002 isn't running.It would be great if someone knows how to get this working - I imagine something like the SBrelay (that fools Squawkbox into thinking it's working with FS2002) is what is needed......Any ideas?Dave

How do you set the spoiler in Aircraft cfg to max for carrier landing.I remember in FS98 everythibng worked well but now there is payware for it.I have not found a panel or aircraft that works.

The n1 for take off is only set to 90% the check requires 95% do it manual and you fail.Then climbing out at 90% its difficult to maintain speed 235-250kts , 4000 fpm is sometimes needed.and it goes on........Anyone passsed the ATP?

Hi All,I generally fly only from the VC, esepcially in a plane with such a good VC as the realAir Decathalon. I thus press "W" and make both the 2D panel and laniding panels in all my planes invisible, so that when I cycle through views the 2D view is just a big window of whats in front of the plane.But I've noticed something odd with the Decathalon- even though I save a flight like this and it starts with invisible panels, they somehow reappear during a flight (can't place exactly when, but it always happens). Even if I press W twice again to make them invisible again, they later "reappear".has anyone else noticed this? Any way to permanently disable the 2D views in this…
