I dont think there is any good EMB-120`s for FS2002, is anyone making it for FS2002? Matt

I'm a brand new Student Pilot and I'm looking for a FS2002version of my real-world training aircraft.I've seen many versions of the newer 172 but not the 150hp172L model.I've cruised the AVSim file libraries with no luck. Am I just not looking in the right place?Does anyone know where I can find one with a reasonablygood flight model? Free is always better :) but I'mwilling to pay for a top-notch airplane. Thanks,SteveMc

Hi!I'm currently working on a xml-"fasten seatbelts" gauge. I've already added the sound, it's working. But I want to have two different bitmaps (for "on" and "off"). I need a value for the two cases. Is there an Event ID for a fake? I couldn't find one! Because I just want to change the bitmap when I click onto the gauge, and the sound should be played(which is already working!), but nothing else should happen! ( I can't write the K-Event for the sound into the Value, because when I do this, the sound is played all the time!)Best regardsharry3 :-)

First, I would like to thank everyone for the kind emails I have been receiving concerning the XMLSound gauge (xmlsound.zip). I really do appreciate the kind words.Because of the amount of emails and words such as

Hi guys,I've been wondering why all of a sudden, development over newer, more advanced B747-400 panels have ceased since the release of the PSS744? I was told demand, but take a look at this: the PSS320 was released just months ago, and now there are several new 320's coming out (Apollo, WilcoPub) coming out to compete with the package. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but wasn't it according to the Avsim poll that 70% of buyers were not content with the PSS A320? (consider that the A320 is even more advanced that the 744 package) I was thinking, that rules out the "demand" reason, because the Jumbo is still one of the most popular planes out there! I think the only reason why…

1. Image flags: I don't seem to get BIT7 (explained in sd2gau12.zip) working. I saved the image, as stated, as a 8 bit bitmap, but it's still having those ugly borders. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?2. I've just made a ASI from scratch for the C172. :-hmmm When I start FS and initially load up a flight with the C172, FS crashes. Anyway, when starting e. g. in the Extra and then switching over to the C172, the gauge works.Thank you for any (helpful) reply. :-)http://flightsimmers.net/airport/etti/signature_pro.jpg

Hello,in the FS2000 Scenery SDK is written, that I can include BGL CODE also in a FS2002 module.I only have to call the BGL graphics interpreter. But how does that work?Thank you for your help.Greetings,Marcel

I've been working on a completely new gauge. It is a EMD 700 CHT/EGT gauge which displays CHT for each of the six cylinders and the Oil Pressure in bargraph format.Under the bargraph, the left digital readout is the average CHT and the right digital readout is the EGT.Since FS doesn't actually provide individual CHT, I had to "simulate" the variations by specifying slightly different linear tables.There is quite a bit more that this gauge *can* do, but with only two function buttons, it's going to be a bear to program!Would anyone care to guess which is real, and which is Memorex... I mean, FS? :)

Today i made a little excursion into the future and created a model of the CREST IV. Perry Rhodan fans will know what i'm talking about, for all others: it refers to a sci fi series of books well known in German language countries, not sure about others.It's a space ship, 2500 m in diameter. I was just curious how such a huge thingy would look in FS 2002, so i modelled it and set up some info and pics on my site (follow banner and link in news).EnjoyDoc

Hi all,I've writen a small utility in C++ using FSUPIC SDK. My problem now is making my program acessible from FS2002 menu. Problably i have to create a dll to put on the FS2002/modules folder, but i'm kind of lost. Can anyone give me some hints on this.Regards,Paulo Correia

Someone mentioned use of a decal texture to enable dynamic aircraft numbering, similar to the way the default learjet's number can be changed.Any pointers on how to create this?TIA

Is there something in one of the editable files that keeps a plane from sinking?I have a FS2000 seaplane that should stay afloat but doesn't. Any ideas?

Designers and Painters,FlightCraft, a great new freeware design group, are looking for modellers, painters, flight dynamics designers and possibly panel designers to assist us in the creation of high quality freeware aircraft. All candidates will be considered but we are specifically looking for people with at least some experience in their chosen field. Please guys, we really need your help.Check the web site for further information at: http://avsim.com/flightcraft Also, check out our new interactive FlightCraft forum at the above address.Best Regards,Adam Nardone.http://avsim.com/flightcraft/Images/flight...banner_blue.jpg

Hey gang,I'm having a few problems...1. Whenever I export any plane from gmax, or FSDS for that matter, it either sinks into the ground and bobs up and down, or it goes and does cart wheels! Any ideas?2. I'm trying to animate in gmax... I've made my animations with two keyframes, etc... plays back beautifuly in gmax... I have things tagged correctly too, e.g. r_gear, rudder... But when I try to see the animations in the game, nothing! Any other thoughts?Thanks for the help!Best,Evan

Does anyone know exactly what this is? How does it affect aerodynamics? If it's not an extremely complicated mathematical operation, how is it calculated? And most importantly, how does it affect the FS parameters?Thanks in advanceBobL

Hi is it possible to have the pss panel virtual cockpit and cockpit to be in a Posky A330?please reply...thanks.....

Hi!I'm new at xml-gauge programming. I've started with the easiest gauge of the FS2002, the Icons Gauge. I've understood it except one thing: There's the "click" in the "mouse directory": There's the XML_text with the following text containing: 270 (>K:PANEL_ID_TOGGLE)What is the 270 for? Is it the "callsign" for oppening the clock? I want to programm such a gauge for opening an overheadpanel. What number must I write instad of 270? How can I make the FS2002 know which (sub)panel[Overheadpanel] is meant?Hope you can explain me this,Happy flyingharry3

Hiya all,I am just now getting into fs and would like to learn about panel design for fs2002, are there any good freeware programs out there?and also any good tutorials?Thanks

HiI'm 85% sure (LOL) a version of this code snippet worked earlier tonight, but no way can I get it to respond to all input again :( It's a fuel gauge for a C421B with a 3-position switch. For 1 (down) and 2 (up) positions it should read mains and aux respectively, and for 0 (springloaded to middle) it should read which ever tank is selected on the tank selectors. It looks somewhat advanced, but I've added comments so I'm able to keep better track. This code snippet only prepares an index value to be used in the tag, using a case function to determine what to output in the gauge. Here goes:(A:Fuel tank selector 1,enum) 0 (*Off*) == if{ 0 (>L:LFuelIndex,enum) quit } el…

Hi All,I have been trying to make some gauges in XML, using the baron ones as a `Template`.I have made a RPM gauge which works as I would like, but know I want to have a numerical display of the RPM as well as the needle ,on the same gauge.I can't seem to figure out how to do this.Thanks in advanceDan.

Iam looking for a AOM DC10 for my fs2002 , id be grateful if any one on here can help me find one, thanks, Marc.

I installed Terblanche Jordaan's FS2002 B757-200BA (Filename: b757complete_v2.zip) and I can't get the main panel to work. What am I doing wrong? Help.

Does anyone know where to find a Cessna 337 Skymaster... OR does anyone have the experience to build one with GMAX??? I love that airplane but can't find it. I'd like to find one with an all black paint scheme called "The Black #####"... saw it at an airshow.
