MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum

I guess this'd probably be the correct forum, I got a new computer a few months ago, and have just now started using FS2002 on it(I just installed a sound card w/ a gameport so I could use my yoke). But, it seems that when I have FS in fullscreen, the mouse pointer kind of flashes a lot, so its visible for half a second, then you can see it for a second or so, the you can see it again, etc. I've tried different resolutions, and several drivers for my video card. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how did you fix it?I have Windows XP HOme, 2.66ghz P4, Radeon 9000 64meg, 512ddr.PS, this isn't a problem w/ fs per se, but does anyone know how to disable a sound c…

Hi all, what has happened to all the FS2004 screen shots? Every day I would check the screen shot forum and there would always be new post with new shots...but lately there has not been any new info of shots? Is there a reason for this? Just curious about it.Thanks,Bill (A very excited FS2004 guy!)

A computer whodunnitA batch of seriously bad components is disabling computers around the worldRACHEL ROSSTECHNOLOGY REPORTERThomas Geery turned on his computer one morning and heard a small explosion, like the distant sound of a child's cap gun.Pop!But Gerry, a computer technician from Herndon Va., knew it wasn't child's play. With more than 25 years experience on the job, he knew his computer had just blown a capacitor. It's a scenario that has played out frequently over the past year, as a rash of faulty capacitors

I have been playing with AI since the TTools was introduced and have been tweeking ever since. I just purchased Ultimate Traffic the other day and I have to say that it's a pretty good addon to have. I think there is a lot of work to do, or tweaking, to get it to work right. I have done a lot of AFCAD files of my own that need to be incorporated and I really don't like the PAI models so I am trying to swap them for the FS Painter models. Why am I talking about all of this? I have a cool idea but I don't know how it would ever work. I have been thinking that it would be awesome to be able to have real time AI instead of programmed schedules. Imagine if you were to s…

This may indeed be asking for pure supposition, but do you think it will be possible to just copy folderslike 'aircraft', 'scenery', 'sound' etc from FS2K2 to FS2K4 and have everything work? Is it likely to have the same file structure making the above possible, or are the changes in the program likely to necessitate a more complicated type of file transfer? Again, maybe this is something that no one can answer 'til one gets a copy. Just thought I'd ask.I can't wait for FS2K4 :-yellow1 , but dreading all the file manipulation that MAY accompany the changeover.Thanks, Adam

6 months ago, I was simming around Greenland and Iceland and I saw fantastic Northern Lights in the a/c I was flying. I saw them repeatedly over a period of hours. I cannot seem to replicate the conditions to see them again!I am now over Sweden on Xmas Day at 1 am in the AFG YS-11 at FL120, and the sky is black, black, black. Where is the Aurora Borealis?!If anybody knows how to find these magical lights, can you please post?Thanks!JS

Hello everyone!Summers here and Ive had an idea, read on and tell me of your views on this. So here goes, this is only a first draft of ideas.10 WEEKS, 10 PILOTS, 1 WINNERThe aim of this simming challenge is to test the edurance and commitment from members of the simming community. Ten pilots are required for this expedition round the world. Fistly pilots must work together as a team to ensure they fly round the world at least once a week. This may seem simple at first but as pilots get evicted from this challenge week by week, the number of overall pilots left trying to struggle round the world drops. In the last week of the challenge (week 10) there will only be two rem…

Hi all,I

I'm considering purchasing a new stick and throttle. Before I do, I'm wondering if those who have a force feedback stick really think it adds that much more to the sim's imersion factor, or it doesn't add much reality at all? Rich@KLEW

Hi, all :-wave Can someone point me to FFX site? Or what is it?Deepest apologies for the stupid question:-)

Hi all,Can anybody explain why Lago's website only ever seems to work on the week end. I Very rarly get it to work on weekdays. Is it ment to be only available on the weekends, or is it just a problem with lagos host's. Jason

Hi,I was just wondering when the next commander (600) in milton shupes great commander series was coming out, the website says 10/05/03.I have been flying the wings of the other two!!!!.Dan.

Hi All,Wondering if someone can explain how the "random turbulence" feature, if checked in FSUIPC, affects or impacts any turbulence that you set within FS2002's own weather settings?Does it add to the turbulence that FS already supplies if you've got, say, "light" set, replace it with its own version, etc.?Thanks for any info.Best,Joel

Good day:Could someone please explain the differences between CAT I, II, IIIa, IIIb and IIIc landings please? Also how do you know which catagory the ILS is from the IAP plate?ThanksRici

I would like to know how to back up the original AFCAD files for the default airports in FS2002. I found a AFCAD for KISP airport (here at avsim) but if I don't like the results of the new AFCAD I would lke to go back to the original one. How do I go about doing this.

Hi,I was reading my local news on the web and came across this story here is the link...http://www.wkrn.com/Global/story.asp?S=1320766I thought it was pretty funny. Wonder if he flight Flight Simulator or maybe runs a VA.SeanIf this is breaking the forum rules I apologize and it can be removed.

Hi there,I was wondering if anyone out there could help me adjusting taxing properties in either the aircraft.cfg or airfile?!This may sound weird but I would like some of my GA aircraft to taxi similar to Meljet's 777. I know, not very realistic but the reason is some trouble I'm having with my CH Pedals and taxing with Meljets 777 is a pure joy with my setup and kinda similar to how my 172 reacts in real life (please no flaming about realism, this is just for my preference/feel in the sim).Is this anything that can be modified in the aircraft.cfg or do I have to edit the airfile? And if so, which sections have to be modified (or maybe simply copied over from Meljet's to…

I hope the moderators will allow me a little latitude here, but if you haven't done it already, I urge you to take a look at the screenshots of Lago's upcoming Venice scenery (use the front-page link).It's simply stunning and IMHO, sets a new standard in scenery design.It's that hard to believe you're not looking at photos!Can't wait for the final release, Mathijs :) Toni.

Just a quick question about finding an aircraft for 2K2... Where might I be able to find a good Yak-9 freeware if one exists?Thanks!

Well in anticipation of FS2004, I picked up my new machine last night.Here's hoping that it will see me through at least until the next version of MSFS post 2004. :-)Here it is...Intel Pentium IV 3.0GHz (800FSB) Socket 478 pins CPU w/Hyper-Thread Technology MSI 875P NEO FIS2R, AGP 8X, i875P ICH5R Chipset with Gigiabit LanKingmax 512MB PC3200 Double Data Rate (DDR) RAM CAS-2.5- 400MHz Rated x 2 (1 stick per channel)BUILT By ATI (Original) Radeon 9800PRO w/TV Out & DVI 128Meg DDRTEAC DV-W50E, 4x DVD-R/ 2x RW, 16xCD-R, 8xCD-RW, 16xDVD, 32x CD-ROM Internal Drive Only Western Digital Raptor 36.0GB HDD IDE, 8MB Cache, 5.2ms, 10,000rpm , S-ATA, w/DataLifeguard WD 40Gig 7,20…

So where is that dedicated fs2004 forum that Mstyles wrote about? Someone locked that topic and removed the link, stating that we should not expect them to "advertise a competing site". What is that? Since when is linking to another information source forbidden? We're not talking about any commercial activities here. Jeez, it's only a forum! :-mad

Has anybody ever seen this message when they start flightsim? if so, how do i fix this? my computer isn't running in safe mode....

The first to be released will be the Argus version used by some airforces. Check http://www.fsnordic.net/discussion/index.p...;threadid=12444 for previews...-Andrew

Hello,When I try to use my Sidewinder Force Feedback 1 - Joystick under Windows XP, the Sidewinder software (newest version 3.02) does not install ('incompatible driver'). The joystick is detected without the software but I can't adjust the feedback options. Is there a solution / another driver ? The Sidewinder homepage doesn't seem to help ...Matthias Huck, Germany

Hi,Does anybody know if it is any good?.http://www.aerosim.co.jp/eigo/ys11coll_description/index.htmThanksDan.
