I have all but completed an elaborate repaint of the Grumman Duck but the gray window bugs the bejeezus out of me. See post at:http://ftp.avsim.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboa...orum=DCForumID9Thanks!Heather

I am using AI tactical display view, which places a plugin menu on the main FS2002 Bar. The program works fine, but I carnt get it to zoom in or out. All the other menu items work fine. It says to zoom in/out use keypad + and - to change. I use a notebook, and it doesnt have a keypad. My + and - keys do not operate the zoom function. Does anyone know what the alternative keystrokes are for a notebook keyboard? Cheers ChrisPS, on the list of aircraft in the left hand bottom column, what are the letters and numbers like FFFFFFFEF5 mean? I notice that some aircraft have a blue dotted line going up to the top of the frame, that dissapears after a while. Cheers Chris

Hi everybody,I am currently for a wide range of aircraft for FS2K2. With the wide range of aircraft already available it is becoming increasingly difficult to seperate the good from the not so good. So I was wondering if you could help me out by pointing me in the right direction concerning this matter and let me know of good aircraft that you have encountered and already downloaded and tested.The criteria that I would like to see in these aircraft are as follows:* True FS2K2 modell* If possible with a nice Panal/Virtual Cockpit* Realistic Flight ModelThe range of aircraft I am looking for are the following:Aerospatiale / Alena ATR 42/72 Airbus A300 Pax Airbus A310 all pa…

With the coming release of both the Simubuild A346 & the Airbus Virtual A346, I think this gauge needs to be made for these impressive birds:http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=2352...atic=yes&size=MI don't know anything about gauge programming, but it doesn't look that hard. And maybe one of the 2 new A340s has it already. If this isn't too huge of a project, is there a gauge guru that could try this out? Thanks!

Does anyone know if there is a way to save instant replays. I

I'm sure most of you read this board also, http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7311 here's a part of the post, i'm confused about this. If you're not on an IFR flightplan in class G airspace, doesn't that make you VFR? Nope. There are Visual Flight Rules, and Instrument Flight Rules, you may choose one or the other. Only in Class A airspace are you not allowed to choose. 91.151 through 91.159 are the Visual Flight Rules. If you choose to fly by these rules, you are VFR. 91.167 through 91.193 are the Instrumant Flight Rules. If you choose to fly by those rules, you are IFR. The Instrumant Flight Rules recognize IFR flight in Class G airspace. 91.179…

Hi everybody.If FS2002 is running and I connect to Internet (56k modem), I can't download data, or it takes ages to receive even 1Kb. Thus I can't connect to online ATC. As soon as I quit FS2002, my Internet works back again. It did not happen at the beginning, it's just some weeks. Has anybody had this problem? What might be the cause?I have a PIV 2GHz, 512 Kb ram, 64Mb video card, Win ME.Thank you in advance for your help.Luca

Are there any rudder pedals that can be used with a Microsoft Force Feedback 2 joystick? I like using the twist-stick well enough, but I'd like to have the pedals for more realism.

Ok, I usually don't publish stuff like this for others because I consider it :-spam1 , but I thought I would pass this onto my fellow "simmers" who can get mail in the USA. My friend ordered some subscriptions from this website so it does work, but you will wait a while before they start up. He said that it took 3 to 4 months before they started for him. But its worth it for the price... So how much....well they have about 100 titles that are under $4 a year. You can get Plane and Pilot for $3.29 for one year or $9.95 for two...Car and Driver for under $4, Stereophile, European Car, etc. They have lots of others too just take a look around.I don't think that they ship out…

There mave been may recent uploads of "texture only" files for FSD's T-38 Talon. Unfortunately, I can not find the original T-38 plane in the AVSIM file archives.FSD's Web page indicates that "it is only available on the best FS file library in the hobby, at flightsim.com Unfortunately, each time I login at FlightSim with a "regular" account (non-"First Class Membership"), I always find that:"All nodes are currently busy. Please try again later."Does anyone know of another location for obtaining FSD's T-38 Talon?Thanks, Tom

I installed the latest Creative drivers (via LiveDrvPack.exe, Ver.1.10.21 of 17-7-2002) for my Soundblaster Live 5.1 on my system with specs:AMD 1700+ xp CPUAsus A7V266-E motherboard using Via 4in1 drivers Ver. 4.44 Windows XP Professional (with all Windows updates)DirectX ver. 8.1bGeforce 3 using Detonator drivers Ver. 29.42I tested the new drivers in games like IL2, F4-SP3 and of course FS2K2, among other. I found the sound (especially spatial (EAX) sound) clearer with the new Creative drivers than with the old ones. Not to speak of the improved UI for the Audio tools.However, with the latest 1.10.21 drivers, I noticed that FS2002 had problems with sound, especially fo…

Hi all,I RESPECTIVELY submit the following:We are all greatly appreciative of freeware developers who provide us with wonderful aircraft. Having said that, I'd like to suggest that the install notes assume the end-user is BUBBA and knows nothing.Some developers use Installshield, the opposite is brief criptic "read-me's" that offer little success of installing.On Steven Grant's product, the line is ..."To install this aircraft into FS2002, simply unzip the files into your main FS2002 aircraft directory."OK, which files? There are many in the un-zipped file. Do the GUAGES unzip go into the AIRCRAFT folder?Please, no flames, I'm just trying to suggest that these wonderful f…

I had been moaning about the crappy brigdes Microsoft had left us from FS98 (or earlier!!) So I decided to do something about it. I have learned to use Airport 2.6 fairly well and gave it a go last night. Heres some before and after shots, let me know what you think!Beforehttp://www.flightsimmers.net/airport/hornit/ny3.jpgAfterhttp://www.flightsimmers.net/airport/hornit/ny2.jpg

Hello all. My computer has just been upgraded and I have a FS2000 running smoother than I've ever seen it. However, I still get the dreaded pauses when ATC starts speaking. It's frustrating to be heading down the runway for t/o and just before rotation ATC breaks in or someone calls on final or something and my screen pauses for a half a second or so. I wonder if this is something that can be corrected. Are there people running pause free with ATC? Thanks for any advise. Jeff C.

Wondering if there is away to change the GS in 2k2 flight planner. I have one aircraft that show up with the GS or 1153kts. Thanks

Hi y'all,hi Paul,I have been experimenting a lot lately, but the more I try the more confused I am getting.In your opinion what is better in terms of framerates and picture quality?1.

*** WARNING FLIGHTSIM HAS SPYWARE ***Yesterday a friend just getting into the FlightSim community asked me where to download MSFS add-ons. I mentioned AVSIM and FlightSim. He just notified me that FLIGHTSIM HAS SPYWARE. To give FLIGHTSIM the benefit of doubt, I decided to investigate this claim. I ran LavaSoft

I just upgraded from WinME to WinXP Pro last night. I didn't get around to re-installing FS2002 until this morning. I did a installed XP to a clean drive (fdisked and formatted), and also installed FS from scratch. Here are me problems:1) My ground textures are messed up (see attachment)2) When I press ESC to end the flight, it takes longer than usual for the dialogue box to pop up.3) FS seems to want to run at 75 Hz instead of the 85 Hz I specified in the display options.Can anyone help?System specs:Intel P3 933/133GF2 GTS384MB PC133 RAMSo far this is the only software to give me a problem.

Hi,Checking the aircraft.cfg for the B737-400 shows a Ground_Roll section. It mentions that there is a minimum and maximum speed. Are these the speeds at which the aircraft must be within before the sound will start? If not, how can you make the ground roll sound only start when the aircraft is on it's take-off run?Any info,ThanksMark
