It must be in the town of pizza because I can't find it in Pisa. Can someone point me in the right direction?Turnip

Guys, I knew, in FS2002, you should have Gyro Drift off for better realism. But what about FS2004?Andy http://www.x-plane.org/users/mirage/signature2.jpg

I have a Geforce 2 MX card and I am curious about one my my settings. Under the Direct3D setting I have the option of letting the card use system memory for texture rendering in addition I guess to its onboard memory. Thus far I have not let it use but 1 meg (this is the lowest setting available) since I don't have but 96Meg on board. I have been getting fairly decent frame rates for my antique rig. I am wondering if I would let the card use more system memory, would that help or hurt performance?I would also like to take a few moments to scold Microsoft. I know for a fact that my card handles OpenGL a lot faster than D3D, so why is MS still using this form of rendering w…

If you enjoy VFR flying and like the new FS2004 GPS, here's a way of enhancing the display. With a little work, you can have the location of your airplane displayed by MS Streets and Trips. Here's two screen shots showing the display near Haines, Alaska from the FS2004 GPS and a shot from roughtly the same location showing MS St. and Trips display. MS St. and Trips is much more detailed than the GPS down to city streets, rivers, prominant land features, labeled geo-political boundaries, etc. Required is a second computer (can be an old one), a copy of Microsoft Streets and Trips, a null modem Com port to Com port cable, and a copy of Pete Dowson's GPSout and FSUIP…

FS9: I can play with the detail sliders so that I never go under10 FPS. As soon as I move "that", just one more slider, I start to see 4,5,6and even 2 FPS.If I then put "that" slider back, it makes no difference...I'm stuck.Even if I additionally put back other sliders, and stuff around for ages,I am still stuck in this low frame rate rut.If I then shut down FS9 and reboot, and start again with the settings asthey were before I moved "that" slider, I once again get back to my nevergoing below 10 FPS.Nothing liked this ever happened with FS2002.I haven't tested it thoroughly, but I don't think it really matters what "that"slider is. Seems like FS9 gets filled up some where…

Hello,While flying I can see some terrain areas loading a higher resolution texture near the aircraft, can I tell FS to load the textures earlier or load a larger range at once, to avoid blurry textures near the aircraft ?Thanks,Ulisses

Hi,Maybe some one can help me with the following problem:I make a flightplan in FSNAVIGATOR which I export to FS2002. In A320PIC I import the flightplan from FS2002 into the INIT page of the FMGC.After loading, all waypoints are in the plan however the INTERSECTION names have only a three letter code which are the last three letters of the complete INTERSECTION name. Example: LEKKO becomes KKO, WOODY becomes ODY etc.When I open the flightplan in FS2002 all the full names are there and to make it more confusing: when I create the flightplan directly in FS2002 the full names are transported to the A320PIC FMGC as normal.Any one the same problem and a clue?Thanks.Greetings,N…

Hello,Trying to fly the historical flights, many of them crashes just after starting, I can't control the aircraft....any idea ?Thanks,Ulisses

Yes, it's possible to put a map (or other picture) in the 'Briefing-section' on the kneeboard. As the contents of the kneeboard is HTML. you can put a picture in the HTML file instead of text.This is what I see when choosing the flight:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/31309.jpgAnd this is the briefing on the kneeboardhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/31310.jpgThe map shows part of the historical Iditarod Trail (dotted line) from Seward to Nome which I am flying.Jozef http://www.dse.nl/~joker32/pictures/signature.jpg

Hi, I was flying from Canada over the Atlantic to Ireland and my clock seemed to change from 7:30pm to 8:30pm instantly? Does it automatically change the time as its going through the different time zones or is it a glitch?CheersPhil

As new building scroll into view they are gray in the daytime and lack lights at night even though other ground textures look fine. And the rotating beacon is all gray at night...looks like a chopper blade.I've tried every setting imaginable with no luck. The only workaround is to toggle the alt key...then everything is fine until new buildings scroll into view. Hitting pause does not help...just the alt key. This has happened with 2 graphics cards and 3 drivers. No such probs in 2k2. Any advice appreciated.P4/1.7/512/XP/FX5600 (formerly ti500)45.23'sThanks

Hi Everyone,Well Payday arrived for me on Friday (woohoo!) so next item on my shopping list is more memory.FS2004 is generally OK, but it suffers from stutters at busy detailed airports and dense cloud formations - especially when turning. So reading other posts, upgrading from 512MB Ram to 1024MB sounds like the right thing to do.But that's not the question. Currently I have 2 sticks of PC2100 256MB modules in my machine. Could I add a single stick of PC2700 512MB memory into the third slot? Or would it be safer to stick with PC2100 memory for the upgrade? My motherboard is the MSI KT3 Ultra 2, the manual says I can install upto 3GB of 184-pin modules PC2700, PC2100…

Hi!I'm quite new to the simming community (in fact this is my first posting ever in any forum).I have a somewhat strange and annoying graphics phenomemon that shows up once in a while. When flying around sometimes the sky gets completely filled with one color (green, gray, red etc) and sometimes it is only one or more tiles of texture on the ground that gets filled. Once it has been the whole screen, apart from the aircraft. So far I have only experienced this in external view. When panning in either direction it goes away.Any suggestions on what might be wrong would be most appreciated. I'm attaching a screenshot to illustrate the phenomenon.My system specs:AMD Athlon XP…

1. Installed second WinXP copy on seperate partition exclusively for use with FS2004.2. Did not install any add-ons that are not certified to work with FS2004.Result: Perfect performance with no issues other than the known ATI driver problem in full screen mode. And this after I was very close to give up FS2004 and reinstall FS2002. Lesson learned: No matter how well one keeps a Windows installation, there's loads of stuff and settings that may conflict with a sim like FS2004. And even though FS2004 looks a lot like FS2002, it is a different beast (as can be seen from the memory leak discussion) so assuming that what worked for FS2002 will work for FS2004 is taking chance…

...leak??? Here and on the other sites are more and more reports, that either when using FS2002 or 2004 systems run out of memory! This happened to myself also a couple of days ago!. Suddenly after an only one hour flight an error message appeared on the screen "Error! Your system has run out of memory! The system will shut down!"I run a P4 2.4 Ghz, 512 DDR, GF3Ti200 64 MB Win XP Pro. Inever had this problem before, not even with my old sys (PIII 800 Mhz, 512 SDRAM, WIN ME).All this happened in the first sim session after this W32.Lovesan.Worm was detected on my system, isolated and the MS-Patch was downloaded.I posted this on the other site and one simmer rplied, that on…

hi,here is my problem:when i use the FS2002 ATC, i only see the text, but i can't hear my voice (and the controler's voice)i reinstalled FS2K2, but did nothing...perhaps it's because i installed codecs for my divx some times ago?thanks for your helpPaolo

Is there a seperate key command to turn the avionics switch on? I can't seem to find it.ThanksSgtSaboo"Without fear there can be no courage"--Eddie Rickenbacker

hi therei have some problems with ground textures, take a look at the picture then you will see that squares are enlighted in the textures, they come and go away, its not to bad but maybe there is a solution...Thanks for any helpoh its 01.40 AM local need to sleep :-)Regards McDanielhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/31229.jpg

How can I remove the scroll bar/fixed message that is displayed in the flight sim window. I have managed to stop it scrolling but I want to remove it all togetherThanksAndrew.

I am ordering a new Dell system this upcoming Friday. Anyone familiar with the Dell LCD monitors? I am considering Dell's 20.1" Ultrasharp LCD monitor. It has a response time of 25ms (is that good?) and a contrast ratio of 350:1 (is that good as well?). It costs quite a bit of money but I will get it if it is worth it. I plan on using the ATi 9800 Pro (128MB version) with it as well. Thanks for any help!!

Does anyone remember the Air Force One plane with the Secret Service vehicles around it? I had it at one time and can't find it again. If anyone knows the filename or location I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks, regards, Bob.

Need some help here! I'll try to keep it short. If you have any ideas, please share!?!?AMD 1.2GHz Athlon, 512MB RAM, GeForce2 GTS 64MBInstalled FS9 with WinMe on there and old drivers. FS2k2 Pro worked fine. FS9 worked for a while. I could fly for 30 minutes or so then the computer would lock up and I'd have to reset no matter how long I waited for a response. Then over the next 3 days, the playable time of FS9 reduced to nil. It'd crash as soon as I launched a flight (the menu screen works fine!).Upgraded to WinXP Pro. FS9 worked for 1.5 hours straight! Then it'd freeze up, then return to Windows with the error reporting program askin me to send info to MS. I s…

And now I have to buy a new videocard just for FS2004 and I read all the pro's and con's in forums and wonder in short: what will YOU buy today (without all the specs and tech detail) that will a hint for me?Can't believe that with a GeForce4 MX I have reflections in every other game (even FS2002) but not in FS2004 and now it has become another obsession! -- I have to see the reflections on the water ...Please give me advice on what to buy.RegardsTerblanche
