Anyone get it yet? Give us the skinny.

Hi Simmers!I'm working on a little plightplanning program and need som knowledge about calculation of miscelaneous flightsim relevant parameters. As examples I kan mention the following...(1)Calculation of "True Airspeed" based on input of speed (in knots) and altitude (in feets)(2)Calculation of "Descent Rate" in feets per minute (for 3 gr. glidescope) based on true airspeed (in knots)(3)Calculation of "Bank Angle" based aon true airspeed for props and jets.(4)Calculation of "True Airspeed" and "Mach-number" based on- Calibrated airspeed- MSL altitude- Altimeter Setting- Outside Air temp(5) plus other relevant parameters for instance those mentioned in the prg "Virtual E…

Excuse my ignorance fella,s but where do i unzip the effects zip file for the posky 747s? does it go in the main a/c file or one of the subfolders?

I know this has been bought up before. I have been flying and taking of from airports all over the place, and see hardly any AI aircraft at all, either in the skies, or taking off.Is it because you need to download 3rd party aircraft, and the more you have the more AI aircraft you will see?Since I have my new computer, I built on my computer course at home now have got back into FS2002, and with my new computer things run a hell of a lot better, and it seems to like XP the best?Also does XP cause any troubles with 3rd party aircraft?The ATC slider at the moment is set at 33, so do I need to set it a lot higher with AI aircraft to be able to see them?

I just installed the BAE-146 as talked about in another post today, and grabbed litejet1.zip from the library here to use for the sounds (the planes are initially mapped to use the icky default 737 sound).Everything is working great, and the sounds pack a lot of punch. I've never heard the real thing, so I'm not too concerned with it being absolutely accurate. But one thing I noticed with this setup is that when doing an auto engine startup (ctrl-E), the two left engines start first (one at a time), and then the two right engines start. However, the startup sound for the second engine (the inboard left engine) comes from the right speaker, and the sound for the third engi…

Hi I was wondering if their was any way to get better ground textures by tweaking fs2002, because they are very blurry.P3GeForce3 Ti200Thanx Nicolas Nowicki

Hello -I just bought FS Assist 2002 from Lago and all I can say is wow.I noticed a 100% increase in fps. I was getting between 10 and 20.Now I am getting 20 to 30(I keep it locked at 20 for stability).You should all try this add on.Shawn GibsonWin XP HomePentium III 900mhzMaxtor 7200 40 Gig512 RamATI Radeon 7000 VE [email protected]

I've been looking around for some real world schedules for the major airlines. I was looking at the American Airlines website, and they have a great little programme that you can install with all the scheduled flights for the One World Alliance:Aer LingusAmerican AirlinesBritish AirwaysCathay PacificFinnairIberiaLAN ChileQantasYou can select departure and destination airports and it gives you a list of all flights (including any stops or connecting flights), departure time, ETE, and also the aircraft type used on the route.Does anyone have any other sources for real world airline schedules (preferably with details of the aircraft type used)?Cheers.

I don't know if it's always been this way but E-dimensional has imposed a 15% restocking fee on its 3-D glasses--probably because they are getting so many returned. But on their home page they proudly display the following:"NEW Wireless E-D

I have just intalled FS 2002 and have done some preliminary reading and flying. My question is this - as I takeoff I am having difficulty keeping any aircraft flying level. I am using the default realism settings and am using a Thrustmaster control stick. No matter how centered the stick is as I lift off the plane will begin to bank. THanks for any help.

This only occurs when I am in the standard cockpit view, not in VC, or any others. I get stuttering sound, no matter what aircraft, default, to payware.This just started, nothing really new installed. In fact, I know I haven't installed anything new for FS. I rarely fly anymore.Anyways, system specs:Pent 1.6GHzSB Audigy Gamer Sound cardXtasy GeForce 3 Ti500 on 41.09's512MB SDRamThink thats all the important info. If you need more, I can serve it up.

Will someone send me their panel.cfg for the FSD Commander? I tried ezconfig but it doesn't work correctly for the Commander. It works with the other planes that I've tried but not this [email protected]

Hi,I have replaced my old nVIDIA card with new Radeon9500pro.Graphic quality is fine. But I have very small but constantstutter. Frame rate is not an issue. Finicky but constantstutter is very irritating. Tried disableing FirstWrite inBIOS and property and it helped some but not very well.DX acceralation is down one knotch both graphic and soundproperty.Appreciate any input.AthlonXP2200+VIA KT333 M/BRadeon9500pro512MB DDR RAMSB AudigyYuki

I don't know what to do!I have the CH Pro USB Yoke and Pedals, and I am having major problems with Yoke and Pedal responsiveness. At first I was blaming the flight models, but after FSUIPC Joystick testing, I know it is something with the Pedals themselves.The reason I know I have a problem is using FSUIPC Joystick dialog. If anyone as used it, you know when the rudders are moved the numbers in the box go up and when you return to center they go back down. Another user that I know indicated that the numbers in the IN and OUT almost instantly return to zero. On my system, it takes 3-5 seconds for the numbers to return to zero. No wonder I am careening!See attached ima…

Hi!Does anyone know what happened to the iFDG site with the new gMAX757's?I happened to locate one repaint in the Avsim file library.They say they are offline, but I never noticed they were online.Grateful for tips.Thanks!Hans HermanssonSWEDEN

First off, awesome aircraft. Hands down one of the best out there. Now, I seem to be having trouble with the high pressure fuel cockk levers.(dont mind the 2 K's, it would'nt let me wright it with 1 K :) ) When put in the ON position, the engines dont start. If the engines are running and I put them in the off position, they do not shut down. Also, the feather lights do not turn on when I advance the throttles quickly to indicate feathering. That, and I dont think anything happens with the watersomething mixture when I turn the system on for takeoff. No lights come on upon applicaton of power. And, is there a master and avionics switch somewhere???? And where is the auto…

I decided to post in this forum since there doesn't seem to me much activity in the ActiveSky wxRE forum recently.I have a really annoying problem that I'm trying to troubleshoot. I last used FSFlightMax last Saturday and it worked well; I was able to identify and fly around thunderstorms. But since yesterday I am unable to get any radar returns and I haven't changed anything in my configuration. Currently I'm positioned at KJFK where it is raining heavily but my FSFlightMax screen is totally blank.Here's my configuration....All my flightsim stuff is installed on my F: drive.I have a section in the FSFlightMax.ini file that reads as follows:(FSMeteo)FSMeteoActive=1FSMe…

Hi Geofa,I'm a user of FS2002 and also Radar Contact 3.0 for IFR flights. I saw a comment of yours where you said each ATC does certain things well. What are the strengths of each? I'm real interested in your opinion -being a real pilot, you hear enough of the real thing to compare ;-).Thanks,Craig

I'm thinking of buying the Airbus from PSS. Would any of you who have this package please let us know how you like it, and what configuration you've purchased? I have some time off for the holidays, and I feel like getting something new to fly. Thanks, Stan

I run a CH USB yoke for most airplanes, CH USB rudder and a Microsoft USB joystick for choppers. I had them all pluged in but the yoke and joystick sometimes would conflict with each other. Is there any software switch for the USB controllers, so I can turn off one and use the other?David AlbrightFAA Flight dispatcherSingle and Mult-engine rated pilot500 hours Real PIC2000 hours Sim PICSim Test Pilot
