Hello. I'm a fairly new MSFS person who likes to use the software for practice before going out on real training flights. It's the next best thing to a PC-ATD I've seen so far. They have those things at my school for free practice, but that means I actually have to get off my duff and drive there. Very happy with the purchase so far.However, I'd like to include some of the ATC adventure-stuff to make things a little more realistic (if only to make things busier and 'annoying' while I'm trying to manage my pretend flowchecks and approach briefings). I ran into a problem though. In real life, instrument training involves doing approach after approach, sometimes at the…

Or, more specifically, where did you fly today in FS? :-)I just finished a flight from Charles de Gaulle to Santiago de Chile, using Simubuild's A340-500 in Air France livery. A little over 14 hours flight time according to FSNav (true time significantly shorter by using time acceleration ;-) ), but when I exited FS it logged over 19 hours. Maybe something to do with time zones?Your turn!

The plane is CloudDancer's update to Mike Stone's Aeronica Chief, although a different panel.Note the reading of 10 = max roll trim applied, yet the horizon remains level!I don't recall any other installed plane here where Cntrl-4 and Cntrl-6 will not engage roll trim. What do I have to modify to add roll trim to a plane? Elevator and rudder do trim properly. Thanks. == WHK ==

Okay, I'm just putting the finishing touches on my first D-7 livery. It's a Transport Canada "Ice Reconnaissance" ship. The real thing has a cupola on top for observers, but this is close -- and it's not a livery you see every day! I've attached a pic below. Should be in the file library by tomorrow (Thursday) night.http://www.spottedantelope.com/bwomack/ima...7_ice-recon.jpg

I got the New GMAX 737-400 today and I've got my Dreamfleet panel and sounds working in it. If I want to have the Dreamfleet flight dynamics with it do I just copy the .ait file to my new plane?? Anything else I need to move? Thanks-

This rather attractive banner has been up for sometime.http://www.simubuild.com/???

First of all, thanx for a great addition to the flight simworld. My question is on the runway info gauge. First time I've seenthis one and a great tool. Can you tell me how to include thisgauge in other aircraft?Thanx again

It is very likely that BTOpenworld will be terminating my account on the 26th of September which will effectively shut down the FSPROJECT website & my email address(es). This is due to "overuse" according to their "noddy" method of totting up how long my PC has been accessing the internet for.Unfortunately due to the fact it has been shut by the "Acceptable Use" team it means that I am unable to hold onto the e-mail addresses. For obvious reasons I am appealing against this - but this may not be successful.In the interim I have applied for a "Hangar" site to see if I can still provide info for the site's 4 visitors :-lol so I will announce the changes of addresses h…

Its in the PANEL folder of the new Dash 8 and there is nothing in the manual about it.

I was wondering if anyone else has this experience. Last night I downloaded XP SP1. I started up FS2K in full screen mode. The Alt key would no longer bring up the menu, and F9 no longer brought up FS Navigator. I rebooted but had the same behavior. Unfortunately, I did not check the ability to uninstall the service pack, and reverting back to a previous savepoint has caused all kinds of problems with my dial-up connection. Did anyone else have problems with this service pack?Scott

Hey Gang!Are there any repaints available for Mr. Frolov's fabulous Dash-7? I don't recall seeing any repaints after the release of the aircraft and the update; the factory paint job he released is OK but not the best to look at - we need to match this great planhe with some real liveries.Thanks for any info.Sincerely,Dennis D. Mullert

hi all, i've been using the MS Sidewinder 2 for almost 2 years now.A couple months ago when I wanted to play FS2002, my joystick wouldn't work. Windows ME (At that time) couldn't even recognise it. according to the computer, I hadn't plugged my joystick into the USB Port.I'm not sure what happened, but the next day it was working perfectly.Now, today, I had the same problem. I was just about to start taxiing when I discovered my joystick was not connected (using WinXP)I've been trying all sorts of things for the past 8hours now, including shutting down the computer for 15minutes over and over again, shutting down, taking the plug out of the USB port (the joystick's plug…

Is the Asus A7v8x a good board for gaming especially Flight sims? I have a Geforce4 ti4400 video card to go with it.Rich

I'm wanting to try to configure my home airport to the correct planes and parking.1. How do I get rid of the MSFS default ai paintjobs2. How do I replace the AI planes with the models I want3. How do I assign parking to individual planes(ie: to get all the USAIR to park at the same terminal)Thanks for any help

Hi, I purchased Ed's world mesh cd for FS2000. Can I use it in FS2002? If so, are there any issues with it?ThanksEd

Which panel do you recommend for use with the 737? Especially now there are many variants with the lovely 737-200 just uploaded.I have tried a couple apart from the default and would like to know if there is anything decent out there. I am currently learning my way round the Embraer 1435 panel from Bill Grabowski which I think is brilliant and would like to use something similar if it is available.Cheers, Terry:-beerchug

I have today replaced my Nvidia 32Mb TNT2 Graphics card with a GeForce 4 64Mb MX440 in the hope of an improvement to Flightsim. However, I am disappointed with the results. I can see no improvement in frame rates apart from the lights on the plane that flash faster. I am using the PSS Airbus and I still get stutters when I taxy at my home airport of East Midlands (GB Airports scenery). Also, my computer now takes slightly longer to boot up. Are there any settings like th BIOS settings I should change or is this as good as it gets?regardsRossNottingham,EnglandWin98AMD 900Mhz512Mb RAM

Is there any way to do so? Whenever i record a video and play it back later, some funnt things happen... no landing gears, no flaps, and the planes is 99% of the times in a wrong coordinate, and although I made perfect landing, in my videos it always shows I'm landing over the water for example. So, is there any way to save replays or the flight videos in AVI or another reliable format?Cheers!

I am looking for a Blackhawk or Pavehawk download for FS2002. Anyone know of one? Kinda find it odd I haven't been able to locate one at any of the 3-4 places I normally get my aircraft models.

Cant get those glasses to work with my FS2002 and my Radeon. Other games work fine. Anybody outthere with the same video card???tnxEric
