Are all these DC3 files which were uploaded today new, or are they the same files from a year or more?

I disabled the gyroscope drift in FS2K2 because it was annoying. Now that I am flying for real I find that eliminating that from my scan has created a bad habit. I tried enabling it again but the precession rate seems rediculously high. In a real Cessna 152, I find that it might drift a few degrees over 15-20 minutes. In the sim, it can be off by 10 or 20 degrees in less than five minutes. Is this something that can be corrected in the cfg file somewhere? Thanks!David

How do you switch on the INNER engine cowling lights?I've managed to get my outer engine cowling lights on but not the inner. Have a look: http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/DCForumID47/7302.htmlCheersWill

Can't wait to see it after Simubuild's excellent work on the A340-600. I'm wondering if there's an update as to its possible release....-John

I don't have an Athlon, but I did scan this tip on a site I frequent quite often. It might be worth trying when all else has failed...http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/798/-John

Heads Up,New SB Drivers are available. I've downloaded and installed. I was very pleased to see that I now have a frame rate increase as opposed to the old drop in frame rates that I had with SB sound. I'd like to know how the new drivers have affected other simmers frame rates.Thanks in advance.Happy Jet Trails To Youflyking

Anybody know where a fella can get a hold of an improved .AIR file for the default Baron? I've got some great repaints, I'm just tired of flying the same iffy aircraft, no matter how pretty she is.

Everytime I start up fs-after the splash screen loads-the program stalls for about 20 seconds and then i get this message; "image "gs.guagesbg.bmp" cannot be loaded." then i click it away and the program loads. does anyone know how i can get rid of this??

Hello, who knows how to replace the strobe/navigation/beacon lights from the project airbus A300-600, with new reflective Fs2002 lights.I tried a lot, but it failed. maby someone has aformula to put in new fs2002 lights and got the old ones uot of the file. I hope that someone can give me the information or formula to make the A300-600 looking better.regards,

Hi folks,Well I have finally acquired the Archer II (love her to bits) and am seriously thinking about a scenic RTW trip.Since I finally have a system that supports that kind of trip (PIV 1.7 GF2 400MX 512 MB DDR) and even in the worst of conditions my frame rate never drops below 12 now in the Archer I am seriously contemplating doing a RTW VFR in FS2K2 starting at the Piper Factory in Florida.Here is what I would like to do (hang on I am coming to the reason for this posting soon):I would like to do VFR legs if possible of no more than 60 to 90 minutes (I know, it's going to be a hell of a lot of legs for a RTW) flying manual VFR at about 500 to 1000 feet AGL. I would l…

Hello,I've recently installed Paul Baines' excellant scenery of Leeds Bradford Airport. Unfortunately though, it is reporting that some of the scenery files are missing. Around 21 files are reported as missing when it loads the scenery. I have checked the release note a few times, and only Gerrish Gray's tree library is mentioned which I have also installed.Has anybody else had similar problems, or knows how I can find out what the files are so that I can substitute something else in? When the error box comes up, it's just a meaningles load of numbers!!!Thanks for any helpCraig

Hi there, just wondering if anyone can recommend a Airbus sound package. I have just loaded on a couple of Airbus aircraft, so thought a sound pack would be nice as well. Thanks for any help. Cheers Chris

Are you guys going to make a Virgin Atlantic livery that is smaller in size? I went to download it & it was 24mb! I have a crappy 28.8k dial up, so I can't really download it. The reason I'm asking is because the Virgin livery released now says it is "version 2" and above it there is a Virgin livery that is "version 1" but it's not released yet. Thanks!

Isn't this file where a lot of the flight dynamics of the aircraft are located?And, if so, how do I open it for editing?Thanks!Heather

Hi.Hopefully someone can help. I have two questions regarding altitude in FS2K2.1/I'm flying a default 737 to SLLP. Being the highest airport in the world, I'm at FL300, and looking down at the very close ground about 50 miles out.Question:Obviously I'm 30000 ft above sea level, but is there any way I can tell my height above GROUND level? Must be about 7000 feet.2/Same flight, I'm hitting the 'B' key fairly often so my barometer reading is in line with what ATC thinks I should be doing, and every time I hit it, I'm all of a sudden 20 feet above FL300, and dropping accordingly. No problem there, happens all the time.Then ATC pipes in and tells me to "expedite my climb to …

Hi guysI d/l the above file (water replacement textures) from the avsim 12 month hot files section but when I opened it to look how and where to install in FS2k2 the were no instructions:-(As this is one of the top d/ls there must be someone out there who can HELP please:-)

Hi I started doing some IFR cross-country with some heavies and I am runnig into some problems with the ATC.I created an IFR flight plan from SFO to SEA using Direct-GPS mode. I contacted all the necessary frequencies and was on my way to SEA. Everything worked fine, I was handed from Cneter to Center along the way but when I got close to Seattle nothing happened. I was expecting to get descend instructins and to be handed to approach/tower etc. but nothing happened. I eventualy crossed over SEA at 27000 feet and no-one talked to me. The only options in my ATC list were 1. Cancel Flight Following2. Select Airport OptionOnce I crossed over SEA I just selected "Airpo…

With the soon to release 727 coming very soon I am starting to get referance material collected for a series of repaints and if you would like a livery done of this aircraft could you let me know now so that I can get the material ready please .I plan to do Quiet a lot when I have made my template so Any reasonable requests will be met if I can :)So far I have :1)FedEx ....................... = me2)Northwest....................... = Mark Leegard3)Air Canada 1980's colour scheme = Doug DawsonThankyou lotsAnniette xxxxxxxxxxxAlso just to say this will be your livery so if you require a certain registration also mention this for me :)

Situation is simple. I fly an IFR, either created or loaded. It works fine. After I land, I go back to fly a different flight. I go to flightplanner and clear it. Then I either load another IFR flight or create a new one. After loading up the flight, I'm never given the IFR, only VFR. The only solution is to close out FS and start over, which is a real pain, especially flying with real weather.What have I overlooked?Thanks,Spruce

Where does one find the maximum acceptable flow load for a landing of the default Boeings in FS 2002?I realize their is a maxium landing weight for these air craft. What are the weight rules? Where can I find these?Thanks,Stanner

Note: Anyone with a Gigabyte mainboard (or maybe some other manufacturers???) should read this...Firstly, thanks to all who advised me following my last post. I now have my CPU running a lot cooler which can only be good. This was not enough to stop the FS2002 crashes though. I've had to use the 'Load Fail-safe Defaults' option in the BIOS so there was obviously something that was set there that FS didn't like. One day when I have the time perhaps I'll investigate further and try and find out exactly what it is. This would obviously be of benefit to other owners of the Gigabyte GA-7VRXP board (btw, can't fault it otherwise!!!)Thanks again.

Hi,One thing thst struk my mind resently has somewhat to do with flightsim, and surely to do with real life.....How come that the measurment can not be the same on land sea and air? I mean, why is it that in air and on sea the measurment is nautical miles, and on land, kilometers or miles? Why couldn

Well i love flying in and out of JFK Airport and have become very disappointed in the fact that there are no scenery updates out there for it. So necessity is the mother of invention, i have plenty of time on my hands and look to build my own. The Problem is that i have never done scnery before so this is going to be a tremendous undertaking as all of you know. Creating 9 terminals, taxiway signs, hotels, parking garages but i can put in 8-10 hours a day over the next month and i want to get it done, what i need is advice on where i can go for pictures, tutorials, programs anything that can help my attempt and not only learn how to do scenery, but learn how to do it well,…
