Thanks for your input. I've been interested in this product for awhile, but I have worried about frame rates and flying problems. It sounds like the package is coming together.Lee

U get a huge performance boots and drastically reduzed stutter by disabling VFR traffic and setting the following parameter in your FS9.cfgCHANGE OR INSERT THE FOLLOWING ENTRY: [TrafficManager] IFROnly=1This was already a huge improvement in FS2k, only it couldn't be saved permanently. So one had to do this setting in the sim for each session. Fortunately now this parameter can be set permanent in FS9.cfgHave fun, Chris...

hi all, this is my first post on this forum. anyway, could someone help me edit my cfg file? heres the problem...whilst i get good clear textures close up, looking straight down that is (which you hardly ever do), at distance, even short distance such as 1 mile which is what you see looking out the front, there is a huge distinction where the new clear textures come in. worse, autogen scenery and skyscrapers in cities and the like just pop in when i get very close. is there a way to make them be drawn much further out? ive tried tips from this forum, but i dont fully understand the different texture options in the cfg file. heres what i have at the minute -UPPER_FRA…

Sorry for this off topic question but just maybe someone will know the answer or where I can find more info.My father saw a TV program back in the 70's of an interesting airborne, fly-by, personnel extraction technique used in Vietnam.An aircraft (I think it was a C130) would fly over someone on the ground with a cable and hook lowered from the ramp.The person on the ground would be wearing a harness and some form of a wire loop. The cable and hook in the C130 would snag the guy on the ground and whip him out of sight! Then the crew in the C130 would reel the guy in.I am pretty sure that the cable was stretchy like bungee cord. :DI'm trying to find some official info on t…

Does Flight1's DC-9 have a GPWS? Thanks.

I can't find a way...Sometimes I want to disable the ATC because I just get tired of all the noise. Now the instructions say to turn the Master Avionics Switch off, which works. But this disables all radios, etc., and that's not good. And when you turn it back on, the ATC is back.I've tried turning off everything I can think of, but it still returns, once it's been enabled one time.Is the only solution to never turn it on in the first place, or am I missing something ?TIABob (Lecanto, Fl)AMD, Athlon XP, 1800+MSI, K7T266 XP ProPC 2100 DDR, 1024 MBXP, Home Edition Elsa GLadiac 920, GF3/64Mb andPNY, Verto nVidia TNT 2-M64/32WD, 100 MB, 7200, Ultra 100Sound Blaster, Audigy …

Fellow sim enthusiasts,I've read the ports requirements from Microsoft to enable FS9 to function in multiplayer mode behind a NAT device. Would like some help in configuration from someone who specifically has a Linksys Router. I've the BEFSR41. I haven't been successful so far. Would appreciate any help.Regards,Dave Vega

Hi,someone has any experience on whether any modifications need to be done to the Meljet or POSKY 744s when using them with the PSS 747 panel? I know the panel is not designed to be used with other than the PSS planes, but I know many people do it and so do I because I think the visual models of the Meljet and POSKY are a zillion times better than the PSS. Problems I have had with them:Meljet: looks GREAT, but has serious problems in climb and descent. Always assuming FMC mode, during climb the plane simply "ignores" the speed limit set in the FMC and roars ahead at full thrust to maximum speed, whilst climbing at 7000ft/min right until cruising alt. That bird simply has …

I'll be very shortBefore:P4 1,7 ; Ge force 2 64 mb, 512 ramAfterP4 1,7 ; Ge force 5 fx 5600, 512 ramSAME PERFORMANCE AT ALL in FRM(I was waiting for some percent better but nothing visible)What's the problem?Any suggestion to understand how is touchable??Thanks

Hi all,I understand when using Gmax, you have to apparently use a tool called makemdl.exe to convert the plane into the .mdl file for the sim to use. However makemdl.exe can't seem to reverse the process? & I cannot find any way to 'import' mdl files in Gmax. Does anyone know if a tool/program exists that CAN reverse the process to allow you to edit already existing aircraft, that were CREATED originally in GMAX?I am flying a plane that I would like to get back into Gmax as a basis to work on & change it's shape to my suiting. (Basically it needs it's appearance changing to match the performance i've created. -It is a concept plane, before you ask! :-) )I am a co…

I was wondering if one could enter any different weather servers apart from the default fs2k.zone.com in the FS9.cfg file. I'm curious if I could see any difference between the offerings from alternative weather services and the default Jeppesen data.Anybody ever tried modifying this setting?Cheers,

My Flightplan is not listed & I cannot "join session".Everything goes fine through the FSNAV originated and exported flightplan to Squawkbox, connection, HostSB, and the SB Main Program procedures until I reach the "join session" step.When I click on "start search" in the "join session" box and enter "127.0.0.1" as I always have had to do, my flight plans are not recognized, and the box remains empty. The XXXX-YYYY.sbp files are listed in the Squawkbox folder. (I also tried it without the "127.0.0.1" entry.)I realize that this step can be bypassed and a flight plan made up later in the precedure, but this seems to be doing things the hard way to me, and it still doesn…

Is it worth the fps hit? I've had to turn AA off, wondering if I should turn this off too. Have a Geforce 3 200i btw. Thx!rgds,billg

hello all., just wondered if there is any way of overiding the atc pop up menus in fs9 - perhaps 3rd party software such as radar contact or voice recognition templates might do the trickthanks for any suggestionscheers.. dan (fs newbie)

Take a look at these benchmarks using AudioBench 99. They are comparing my Aud II vs AC97 RealTek audio onboard chip.Enjoy,Noel

Hi,I have not been to this forum for some time know, but I am back. I have been away from the hobby for about 6 months. I have just installed FS2004 and have a problem. The problem that I am having is that I see some instrument panels but not others. I can not see any of the Cessna 172 or 182 panels or any of the "new" planes panels. This is in the main view, I see the virtual views only. I have checked the appropriate folders to see if the bitmap images are there, and they are. I am running on Windows XP, and I have a brand new, high end computer. I have tried re-installing the software and even tried restarting my computer, but this did not help. Everthing else seems to…

I went from 600mhz PIII, 256mb SDRAM & TNT2 64mb video to an athlon 1.8G, 256mb ddr & geforce fx 5200 video (45.23's). It takes about three minutes from the time I start the sim get the splash screen. Once it's running it seems ok for the most part. I won't go into problems I have once it's running yet - I'm just trying to figure out why it takes so long to load. I see the same sort of delay now when I start fs2002 also. I use 98SE, and went to the onboard AC97 Audio due to memory problems using my soundblaster card. Thanks for the help!Robert

For those of you who own ATI video cards, I just found a nice workaround for the flashing screen problem. This temporary fix only works while flying. This is how it works on my rig, by pressing the F10 key which brings up the Kneeboard, just place it anywhere you want it, or hide it by scrolling it to one side of the screen and that

I would like to know where do I find the parking radius for each type of plane?

Hello Gang!Can someone please refresh my mind and please let me know the name of the utility we could use to convert texture files from 32 bit to 16 bit, etc... in FS2002? I cannot find such a tool in the FS2004 directory and I desperately need to fix the landing gear textures in the Boeing 737-800 series by FFX. I remember I was able to solve this problem in 2002 with this tool.Thanks in advance! Sincerely,Dennis D. Mullert

This new, free, utility lets you add an Audio Player that can play MP3's and many other audio formats to the Electronic Kneeboard in FS2004.

hello,Today I joined some friends for a multiplayer flight in FS2004.I got stutters and display problems when opening the chat window, I think it is the same thing when opening the kneeboard or any text window in FS2004 with ATI 9700/9800pro.How about the stutters ? Any experience on this when using multiplayer ? Any settings to improve it ?Thanks,Ulisses

Hello,I am unsure about how real pilots use the rudder when rolling out of a turn- ie coming back to level flight. The ball in my turn and bank indicator kind of goes nuts as I let the rudder center at the end of a turn and level the wings, and I'm guessing there's a better way to do it.Any advice on how to properly roll out of a turn from someone with real GA time?Thanks,Joel
