Hi folks,I am getting the following error message everytime I start FS2004: "SimTracker Error: Unable to Initialize MC3 Library." The error msg pops up at the startup screen. I click it off and the sim seems to load without error. Any ideas what it is? I tried to reload the sim once but the error msg still pops up.Is this a mission control library of some type? I did notice that the sim does not accept and set a check box for "setting this as default flight" and start with that flight when I startup the sim. Anyone know what that error is and how to fix it?I am running Windows 2000 pro, NTFS, with an AMD XP1700+, ASUS A7N8X Deluxe MB, 512mb PC2100 ram, TI 4600 w/1…

Hello Simmers:I accidentally erased this version from my HD and can find it no where on the web. I prefer it's simplicity of operation to version 2. Would someone kindly e-mail me the program or provide a link where it might be [email protected]

Hi All,I'm after a gauge that not only dumps fuel, but has a VISUAL EFFECT to go with it when it is activated. Even if its just the standard short contrail.Does such a gauge exist, where it visually shows fuel being dumped when in an external view?Al

Hi!I haven't heard much about Lago's Roaring Thirties package yet. I read through their forum, there don't seem to be any problems since version 1.10. But what are these planes (Staggerwing/Gullwing) like? How are the VCs, how do they fly, what about FPS? How does the Lago Gullwing compare to Bill Lyons' Gullwing? I would really appreciate any info. Thanks in advance!VOlker :]

As a new participent in this forum, I may be asking an already addressed question. However I have been using FS2k2 for over a year and a half and have had many frustrations with MS XP home and the sim, primarily with third party aircraft causing the sim too freeze or the OS to blow up. I am aware of some third party .gau files could cause this, as well as textures on a first time used basis. usually after a first time usage of a given third party aircraft the sim behaves, but not all the time. The problem I have now and am seeking advice on is as follows.In my Fs2k2 gauge file, I now have some 9000+ .gau from my collection of over 600 aircraft. In the beginning I found th…

Don't know it this is Eaglesoft Beechjet 400 or FS9 related, but on the last two ILS approaches the A/P is not tracking the localizer and G/S properly.Anybody else have this problem? Is it a FS9 issue?Maybe something procedural?Barry

Hiya,Can anyone direct me to a website that has an "interactive world" feature or similar that will allow me to create my own flight plans?I've found a few websites that allow for planning world flights, but they also check current flight availability/plans, so it's too real-life for what I'm after.I'm also not wanting existing around-the-world flight plans.Picky huh!Anyway, just a site that will allow me to interact with a map of the world (cities etc), and hopefully follow my track and maybe at the end give me a list of cities/places I've selected. Doesn't need to have additional bells and whistles, just simply a map of the world I can interact with.Help anyone??CheersA…

For all of the latest NVIDIA drivers, Neither in the Display Properties>Settings>Advanced>GeForce4 Ti 4600, nor in the NVIDIA >GEFORCE Media Center>GeForce Ti 4600 Display settings do I see any option for overclocking like there use to be with RivaTuner and the earlier Utilities.Surely an overclocking provision is included somewhere. What am I not seeing?Thanks:RTH

I am writing a flight and plan for FS2K4 that is supposed to depart with low visibility and heavy rain and arrive at its destination, one hour fifteen minutes later again in low visibility and heavy rain. I am using FS2K4 weather so I am not downloading real world weather. At the start of the flight the effect I trying to produce is there, I can hardly see the end of the runway and it is bucketing down.When I descend to approach level from cruise however there is reduced visibility but no rain and that is how it stays. If I then access Weather, having touched down, to see what has happened and go into the advanced settings, everything is as it was at the start (Cloud S…

Is there any way at all for me to use my copy of XP with another computer at home?? What a load of crap, damn MS racket going on. There must be a way, just want to use it on my other home box here.Hornit

OUCH. I went and checked the FScene website, and the cost is 25 Euros per region per season So to get "more realistic" textures I have to pay over 100 dollars per region to get all for seasons, and to get a complete set I pay over 200?I can understand the amount of work that went into this product, but I can't help but feel that lowering the per unit price can't help but increase revenue.I mean if it were 25 Euros per region for ALL Seasons, then I could get a complete set for about 50 bucks. and I can't help but feel that by slicing the price to 1/4 it's current cost, you would generate 4 times the sales you do now.But, hey, the developer can feel free to charge what h…

Guys, some difficult times lie ahead for us simmers. I mean, how on earth are we going to pay for all those terrific add-ons coming out these days!? Let's see what we've got for the coming month or two: PSS A-330 & A-340, Captain Sim's 707 & Hercules and for the fighterjocks among us, Lo-Mac. And this is simming alone! Cause let us not forget Half Life 2; I don't play many FPS but this one is a must have, I think. Boy oh boy, I'd better find myself an extra job... How are you guys gonna pay for this all? Neglect the wife and kinds for a few months, rob a bank or sell the car? Personally, I think my girlie will have to do without flowers and presents for a while an…

I asked this in the hardware formum and got no responses. I would be grateful if the moderator would let me post this in the forum with the most visitors. Thanks.I am trying to run two monitors out of my Radeon 9700. I can get them working all right, but every time I power off the machine, on the next boot-up, the card only sees one monitor. I have to literally unplug and re-plug in monitors for them to be recognized on the ATI Display tab. I can't enable the second monitor in Windows nor extend my desktop. It shows up as greyed out and won't come on line. What am I doing wrong? Is there a setting somewhere that saves the configuration? This is getting to be real pain …

Hi:Is there any Payware, Shareware or Freeware ILS instrument out there anywhere? (Sort of like GPS was available as 3rd party add-ons in old versions of MS FS.)I completely understand that most of the "modern" FS 2004 default aircraft have it, but the plane I am finding that I fly the most, the DC-3, does not have it. Several of the real life DC-3 have been retrofitted with ILS so I feel it would not be out of line to have ILS in the default FS2004 DC-3. The default FS2004 DC-3 has GPS but no ILS.I also completely understand that there are a couple of 3rd party shareware and freeware DC-3 panels that incoporate ILS as part of the panel design. That's kind of what is stop…

Does anyone know of a solution to the payload problem with addon AC, to FS9? When editing the payload, the sim crashes back to the desk top.ThanksChris

Hi All,I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to fix the "view" locations of control towers within FS2004? Seems that all the major (and minor) airports I fly into have oddly placed control towers. Many if not all the places I've flown into and out of have the tower view at ground level in the forest or in the close by city.Any ideas??Thanks!Mikehttp://www.members.shaw.ca/madamo/boeingsig.jpg

Problem: When certain third party aircraft are selected, FS2004 shuts down.Trouble spot found: My Panel for these aircraft.Specific trouble spot and item: RKG_speed! gaugesReason: Haven't got a cluePreliminary so you will know how I got here from there.I have been trying to implement ProFlight 2000 in FS2004 like it was useable in FS2002. I have been led to believe by another post and email that this is possible.As a result, I have installed, deleted, and reinstalled FS2000, and ProFlight 2000 several times trying varied combinations of setup.Gave up for the time being and deleted both.When I started FS2004 with my favorite default aircraft including my favorite generic p…

I'm contemplating updating Win98SE OS to Win XP as from all I have read FS9 seems to like WIN XP best in terms of performance. That and I'd like to take advantage of some of the performance tweaks I've been reading about recently like compressing the entire FS9 folder after installation and converting to the NTSF file system. The problem is, I've read so much negative press about potential problems like having to reinstall OFFICE and OUTLOOK, etc, that even having purchased WIN XP Home already, I'm still reluctant to install it. Anyone have any advice / warnings / cautions they can share with me or should I just take the plunge and upgrade? Thanks in advance for your g…

Hi all, I am trying to use the latest edition of F. S

Ok. Heres my problem.I have had a lot of problems with FS9 since the first time i installed it. So today i reformated. Installed all the newest drivers.And installed FS9 from scratch.My problem is with all the Add-on aircrafts and panels.When i am in cockpit view, trying to change the view or going from full-screen to windowed mode.FS9 stops working. The harddrive is working hard. And Kaboom.FS9 crashes and must be shut down.I tried:ifdg 757 with Lonny Payne's 757 panel - Crashes.Poskys 767-300 with Alex Christoff's 767 panel - Crashes.It seems that the original aircraft's and panels are working ok.My setup is:AMD XP2400+ASUS A7N8X (just flashed)2 x 256 PC2700 DDRSapphire…

In all screenshots posted before FS9 release it draw my attentionlarge number of aircraft in every airport.Now, I don't see that at all.Even in Heathrow I saw only 3-4 parked aircraft.Is anyway to increase the population in every airport.Thanks.Adam

Just wondering if there are any problems with this fantastic looking add on aircraft. If anyone here is using Capt
