Ok this is simple, i dont care about your settings too much, doesn't seem to matter much here. Please go to Albany NY (KALB) Line up on runway 36 about 5 or 6 miles out in the default 172 and fly a visual approach to landing. No AI, mesh doesnt matter, 1152 res 32bit and I have 2xfsaa on with -.4LOD in rivatuner. Default fs9.cfg and no tweaks installed. Weather, just scatterd cirrus and 30 miles vis. Keep a keen eye on the frame rate counter and let me know if you see any drops below your target that are significant. Mine go from 25 all the way down to about 11 on one or two occasions during the approach. It always goes right back up to 25 within a second but there is a n…

OK....last time now. I've been reading about these two cards on various sites for a while now, and I need to decide by tomorrow. I am selling an ATI 9700TX (came with my Dell, 2.8gig), and I'm getting $150.00 for it. But tomorrow, I'll buy either the 9800 Pro or the NVidia 5900 Ultra. For MSFS, which is really the better choice? I've seen reviews for these cards comparing them on 1st person shooter games and such, but NONE on MSFS 2004. If your were me, which would you buy? Please vote! Stan

Has anyone else tried to fly at Phoenix Skyharbor at Dawn? I'm using the excellent Flight 1 C152 and the quality is awsome. Its also a great rendition of Phoenix (I'm a regular user of Gate 25!)KFD

Can someone please explain to me what the following variables do in a little more detail?TERRAIN_ERROR_FACTOR=96.000000 This is a value from 0 to 100 that control the DEM radius (it is linear in area) TERRAIN_MIN_DEM_AREA=10.000000 This the lowest value used to calculate the DEM radius based upon the TERRAIN_ERROR_FACTOR TERRAIN_MAX_DEM_AREA=100.000000 This is the highest value used to calculate the DEM radius TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=19 This control the DEM resolution: 18 = 150m DEM, 19 = 75m DEM, 20 = 37m DEM, 21 = 19m DEM TERRAIN_EXTENDED_TEXTURES=1 This turns on/off the extended texture ring TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS= This is the default radius in textures for all rings,…

hi,is it possible to show the left seat of the VC on one monitor, and have the right seat shown on the other? I am using Radeon 9800 Pro with FS2004... currently I can't move the position of the seats, so the outside view and instrumentation perspective is incorrect.

There was a list of the FS2002 ATC calls (allcalls.zip) here at Avsim. Does anyone have a list of the FS2004 ATC calls? EditVoicepack Version 3.0 is out for FS2004. I noticed that if I update my calls the Spirit_of_St_Louis will not be included. Did M/S make a mistake in the aircraft.cfg for this callsign? Thanks, regards, Bob.

If I know the Longtitude and Latitude coordinates of a location, how can I position my aircraft to be at these coordinates?1. Can this be done while in flight, so the aircraft is not located on the ground?2. Is it just a matter of opening the MAP, and entering the coordinates while in flight?Thank you.Stanner

This morning I uploaded the Version 2.0 of Florida Landclass and in the read_me there is a clause that states; "This scenery is freeware and may not be used to make money. It also may not be uploaded to sites that charge for access as I consider that making money off my scenery. The following sites are considered to be Pay - For - Access: FlightSim.com, FSPlanet.com, FSFreeware.com."Sometime back when John Cillis first came out with Landclass Assistant, I made a series of files Named "Alaskan Cities" that Mr.Raimondo Taburet downloaded and Posted on his FSFreeware site. I did not send it to him. It was only uploaded to Flightsim and avsim. I saw it on his site and asked t…

Has anyone tried these two together yet? Any discontinuities that make this combo not work together? (I'm assuming that the scenery has at least an image of LAX, and hopefully the SimFlyers LAX overlays it correctly).Thanks,Bruce.

some of you know that my trusty P4 took a major dive about 2 weeks ago. Some sort of spike in the ole electric's.

Ever since I installed DirectX 9.0b with FS2004, the sound has never within the sim (and only the sim) has never been quite right. It works more or less, but with glitches. For example, when loading an a/c in the 2-D screen in full screen mode, there is usually no cockpit sound at all until I move the throttle lever forward on my MS FFB2 stick (!) Then it's fine. But when I switch views and come back into the cockpit....no sound again! Until...I advance the throttle lever again.From time to time, the sound in Fs2004 just vanishes. Usually this happens after switching views and sometimes when re-setting after a crash. I've never experienced this stuff before.I just …

Can anyone please tell me where the PDF documents are for FS2002?I'm just now upgrading from FS2000 (Yes I'm behind the times!) and are having a hard time getting FS2002 up & running right.I can't find the PDF files for FS2002 on the hard drive.Thanks for any help you can give me.

Incredibly long loading times to bring up Menu, or clicking on anything within the Menu takes a very long time to load.Also the trees look painted on black squares of cardboard, also the lights on the plane have black cardboard squares surrounding them.Running 850 MHZ with GEForce II Have downloaded both DirectX9 and N'vidias 30.82 Drivers. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thank you, Eddie

Hello everyone.Im searching a painter how want repaint a MALAYSIA AIRLINES CARGO B742. Of course for "Ready for Pushback".Here is a screenshot how it have to look.RegardsRamon.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/31525.jpg

I searched high and low for this last night but found no other case of my problem. It's happened twice now with FS2004. Once when I was creating a multiplayer station then the next time when I switched to tower view. I've done both things again since and had no problem. The sound cut out completely when I did these two things and never came back until I restarted my system. Not just FS sound, but my whole computer's sound stopped. Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone know how to fix it?-Andrew

I love the dynamic feature of FS9. It really adds a whole lot to the environment. I was flying VFR from Eugene OR to Crater Lake, and then into Redding CA. This brought me over the spine just to the East of Mount Shasta.Mid flight, I took a static snapshot using real weather and the reported conditions were Clear with 50 Mile vis.That conditions stayed for about 5 minutes, and then I could see, all along the ridgeline and ahead of me, clouds forming. Not clouds in the distance coming towards me, but clouds actually collesing 20 or so miles ahead of me. And with the clouds came the expectant turbulance.Now, is this a "weakness" in the sim, or have you "real" pilots a…

Does anyone know If i can get the mini control panel thats in the default fs2000 panel into other panels?

Since Microsoft has seen fit to spread FS2004 all over the computer, has anyone found a way to consolidate it all back into the same directory? I really do not like all the saved flights etc. going onto my boot drive as it causes a space problem.

I know someone has already answered this but cant find it. The default eye movement is unnaturally slow in my opinion. Thanks in advance.

even with the directions given here? Can not find it in search either?MB

I love the DC3 for getting into those remote, short dirt strips in AK. But I have trouble stopping on the rwy. The brakes seem too weak. Any suggestions for stronger braking? Thanks!

Hey guy's! I have been slowly installing stuff over to FS9, And i just tried to see if the Vapor Trails that come off the Flaps, using the PA I think Effect's file, that makes the Vapor Trails come on at a certain speed automaitcally?? And it does not seem to work in FS9?? Does anybody else have these installed from FS2002 and got it to work?? I treid using the "CNTRL-I" buttin for the smoke effects and nothing happened?? I also put in the Effect's gauge and Effect's file and still nothing happened?? Or is it incompatible with FS9 like a whole lot of other stuff that does not work from FS2002!? If anyone knows a fix for this Please let me know! And before everyone gets c…

Can anybody tell me how to reverse the collective axis for helicopter flight. I read somewhere that adding a line to the appropriate cfg files would do the trick, but when I tried it, it had no effect.

Hi Guys,Hope one of you can tell me how to drag a GPS window over to my 2nd monitor. A typical drag just doesn't seem to work.Thanx, John

Messed up the installation of Daniel Nole's .air and Model files for the default DC3 and now the aircraft has totally disappeared. (No I didn't back up the originals ((I know- I know!!))Anyone got a steer how to reinstall just the DC3? I've had a look at the disks but can't get into them - A lot of you guys on this forum are incredibly knowledgeable about the workings of this sim so could you please pass on to me the benefit of your know how - ThanksKFD
