If there's anyone out there who's feeling a bit jaded with flight simming, take a break fron hauling heavy metal and twin engined gin-palaces around featureless skies...Fetch a bush plane like a SuperCub or a Beaver up to PARC, Alaska.Take off & fly about 345 Magnetic, and shortly you'll see a HUMONGOUS chain of mountains appear. (I thought northern Alaska was mostly flat Tundra, my charts stop at Fairbanks).About 15 miles out a couple of good size lakes appear, close by is a river that ties a knot in itself. (Have a look, you'll see what I mean).Then just keep going, until your fuel runs out or you come upon PABA (Barber's Island, I think it is), about 230 miles in a…

I have seen some scenery files in the library that refer to soaring and thermals. What is the add on product that allows you to create a thermal? Is it possible to add the thermal "bump" that I feel in real life during approach to runway 25 at 1N9? Also is the strength of the thermal automatically adjusted for the temperature of the air and the likeliness that a higher ground temp would increase the strength of the thermal?GW

I would like to find the aircraft that were on the Project Freeware site before it sadly closed down! Does anyone know where to find them? Especially the 737's! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A while back there was a short thread about lost keyboard assignments - in particular the key for frame rate and a couple of others. I had this problem, and another user suspected it was the SceneryUSA demo, which I'd also installed. Last night I noticed that my Pushback key (the standard Shift-P) was no longer assigned, along with Ctrl-Shift_F1 for fuel cutoff.The only thing that I'd done that was the slightest bit unusual was install the nice Dusseldorf (EDDL) scenery which was posted a few days back. Like SceneryUSA, this was not a simple Zip, but instead a self-installer EXE program. I suspect the Installer is the problem, but I've got no way to verify it. Anybod…

Hi guysThe comprehensive Gforce3 tweak guide available on this forum is a super piece of work........congratulations to the author.My question is do these tweaks work for Gforce4 cards? I am running windows xp with a Gforce Ti4200 card with 41.09 drivers and the results are ok but like most simmers I want more;)

Hi there,just screwed up something with FS2002 and deleted my latest FSUIPC without backing it up. Next thing you know is, Pete Dawson's website is down and I couldn't find it here at Avsim (believe it or not ;-) )Can a kind soul email me the latest version, I believe it is v2.97 or even 2.972?!My email is [email protected] in advance,Petehttp://members.aol.com/pzsoulman/myhomepage/logo.gifAthlonXP2000,AbitKX7-333(latest4in1),512MB/2700SDRAM,WinXP,DirectX8.1,Geforce3TI200(128MB)(Det.30.82),SBlive(WDM5.1.2601.0)

Hi,I was just wondering what I am going to do when the new MSFS (whatever it's name is) comes out.I have spent a lot of time and money on FS2002 so I definatly won't be dumping FS2002.I just wondered what others were going to do?.Dan.

and panel. Any suggestions?Thanks Barry

Hey!Anyone else having trouble downloading the Land's End Airport featured in this week's Bear's Cave? All I get is a small zip file that gives me an error message when I try to extract it.Regards.

Just DLed and installed the aircraft. The aircraft is starting with the main door open. What keys do I use to close the door. Thanks

Hi All,I know this is a very open post but would like some help from experts. I currently have an p-4 2.4 northwood@400 on an asus p4t-e motherboard with 1 gb of pc-800 rdram. I have an ge-force ti 4600.I want to build a system with the p-4 3.06 cpu with the 533 fsb and want to upgrade video card to an ati 9800 or possibly an nvidia card that is 8x agp. I need to know what type of ram to use and what motherboard to get that will get best performance for FS. Also whether to go with 512 or 1 gb of ram. I know about dual channel ram -granite bay but don't really understand it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank-You in advance.

HiI know this is an old subject, but i need help finding the info. I know there's a utility to flatten creating a bgl file. But i don't know where to find it. Or in case that i wan't to flatten default airports, is it enough to create an exclude area in the scenery cfg?ThanksHenrique

I am now continually getting the following error message upon starting FS2002: Error loading GPS_Engine. The flight plan will not be used.I click OK and FS2k2 runs normally. Is this error message possibly due to my not having a flight plan for my default situation? Anyone have this before? ThanksSteve KCLE

Hi there, Anyone know where to find some realistic approach plates for Innsbruck, Austria. ATC appears to bring you in too high, which means you have to dive for the runway on final.Thanks,J.C. (MYNN)

Which one should I get? I'm mainly interested in a perfect virtual cockpit but easy one the hardware (lo end). They look very close in apperance from the screenshots. Anyone with both of them who can make up my mind...thx, paul

Im just wondering that is the Bell helicopter REALLY that light in real life too like with the hardest realism setting in FS2002? It seems like a leaf in the air, i have joystick turned down to the lowest sensitivity setting but still it feels way too light

Having put the Radeon 9700pro in my system, I am starting to wonder, just what does Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic filtering do?For example, having AA set at 8 instead of 2 or 4 will do what with the graphics? Anisotropic set to 16, what does this do?

I installed Lago

Will Wide FS run using a wireless network connection ?I installed the Server and Client files and edited the .INI files to allow TCP/IP connection.When I start FS I get -----> Wide Server--> Waiting for ClientsWhen I start Wide Client on second system I get ----> Waiting for Connection............I have Windows XP on both systems and currently use the wireless Network card on the second computer ( laptop ) to access the internet.CheersGreg

I did a HD reformat, and reinstalled XP again and notice since then, when I am using FS2002 I have throttle problems. What happens is if I go back into windows, like hit the windows key on the keyboard from FS2002 then go back into FS2002 and unpause it the throttle is all mucked up like the engine goes up and down in sound. Meaning it revs up and drops down, revs up drops down, etc. If I press pause, and unpause it this fixes the problem. I never had this problem before, or at least never noticed it before. Has anyone else had this problem, or get the same problem in XP?

Well unless I need to tweak the 9700pro, but when I had the GF4 Ti4600 I was getting 40 fps in LAX default scenery with the default 747-400. After hearing a lot of hipe about the radeon 9700pro on the forum I returned my GF4 TI 4600 for the Radeon 9700pro.. After installing the new catalyst 3.1 drivers I fired up FS2002 and went to LAX with the 747-400...To my suprise my fps is between 18 and 25 with all sliders max...I have to addmit the fs2002 looks great with the radeon 9700pro, I can even fly a night without night scenery enhancement and I can see everything... I scenery looks great there are no stutters but I wish the fps could be better. My new system is a P4 2.8…

Since echoflight has gone payware I did some hunting and found a few good chart sites if anybody is interested:http://164.214.2.62/products/digitalaero/index.htmlThis one is great because it has worldwide coverage...all in PDF though. If you want a regular graphics file you can use the Acrobat viewer to select the entire plate graphic, hit the copy button on the toolbar, then paste into paint and save as a .bmp. This works great since I have to paste into printshop to print on the pre-punched/cut jeppessen paper.http://www.myairplane.com/databases/approach/index.phpI think this one is only USA but it works great as well...same as above, only PDF files but that will do. …

does anyone have a recomendation for a 737-200 panel thanksshane

(Others feel free to jump in)I can't seem to get around the following problem: whenever I choose over 32 MB AGP Aperature in Bios, I get "Windows unable to save to Memory" errors.My system: P4 2.8 512 2700 Samsung RAM Radeon 9700 128 3.1 Omega Drivers Windows XP.I do not see any performance loss with FS with AGP@16 MB (infact, I used to have AGP off in DXDIAG).I recently started playing FPS shooters and all seems well there (other than occasional crashing if highest texture quality is choosen in ATI Control Panel).I'm happy to keep things as they are but am worried I've missed something obvious.Thanks in advance.
