Surprisingly, the systems are quite well modelled allowing me to finally apply real DC-10 Captain, F/O and S/O cockpit flows based on the real FLIGHT CREW OPERATING MANUAL.

The level of detail texturewise is surreal.

Here's my flight in the Diesel 10 incase anyone here wants to learn a thing or two on the aircraft :)

Next up was an edit to the afcad file "Portland_KPDX_ADE9_PH" (located in the main Portland folders scenery folder) to tweak a couple of radius  parameters to match my personal values for certain planes. The issue: whether I make one edit or many, after I save the afcad file and get into the sim, default airport scenery mixes in with the addon airport scenery. 

When in AFCAD and selecting KPDX, it only displays the default and addon file, and I am always selecting and editing the addon file that came with the scenery.  I've tried renaming the file, moving it from the Portland folder to the addon scenery folder with same results, and I can't seem to figure why I can't successfully edit the file included in the download.

I thank you all ahead of time for any suggestions and info you provide.

Best,

This is probably the most photorealistic DC-10 available for any sim - this is FS9.

I have come across a weird problem in fs9 yesterday. Firstly all my saved flights did not show up when I went to Select Flight and secondly when I went to save a flight - typed in the name and hit save, up came a box saying 'Invalid name - Flight will not be saved', also no listing of my previously saved flights.

anyone any ideas of whats gone wrong please?

I have created a folder in the main FS9 Flights folder calling it my flights and copied all my saved flights to it from C/users etc. . . and at least I can now access them again.

Can any one help?

The only thing I did prior to this was to add an ai aircraft into my aircraft folder. All was working fine before that but I cannot see how that action could cause this problem.

Does anyone have that same sight texture? I have my sight distance set to maximum but I don't know if there's more to it. As you see this square surrounding above water or land, in my case here it's water. If you also fly high altitude you will notice it. I'm wondering is there a fix for it? Or disable such thing, anything...

Here's a picture...

I've finnished installing my new CVN65 (USS Enterprise) aircraft carrier "off Puero Rico" and have gotten the catapult launching and arrestor cable systems working as they should. But now and just as a small visible extra, I'm missing the small animated steam plume "effect" at the beginning of it's catapult rail.

I have such a steam plume effect correctly positioned on my Waikato carrier and am now searching for a method to get the same plume visible on my new CVN65 carrier.

I've (test-)disassembled the Waikato BGL file concerned, have tried to edit all the geographical positioning/elevation data found therein, but try as I may, nothing seems to (want to) work. I have not touched any of the complex looking animation programming and could not find any "call" for any effect name either, so I'm most probably following a wrong path.

Ideas anyone ?

Using DXTBMP to load the file, then sending it to paint.net.

I think the problem is in paint.net... I make my changes on paint.net, I make sure any layers are merged into one before I save. Once I'm finished with paint.net, I'll select "reload after edit" on dxtbmp, which will show the edited texture. Then...

I either "save as extended bitmap-888", or "DXT 1" (or 3).

Then I'll drop the edited texture into my aircraft folder, only to see that no changes have been made to the original texture when I run the sim.

Not sure where the problem exists... thoughts?

I've downloaded and installed a static aircraft carrier scenery but it's flight deck is not hard, which keeps resulting in any opened flight having it's chosen aircraft sitting on the sea below the carrier's flight deck.

The carrier's Afcad flight deck is at the correct elevaion and a "flatten" of any size/combination does not seem to want to work either.

Ideas anyone ?

Hans

How about you?

I think I read something about that in the AS forum a long time ago. It's no longer searchable on Google. And I don't want to contact AS about it. I don't want to tell them that I'm flying FS2004 and Erfurt is killing the sim. They'd probably just suggest I switch platforms.

Is there anything that can be salvaged? Or should I just pour the whole scene down the sink, stirring constantly? That would be a real shame...

Does anyone here have suggestions for him? I cannot think of anything other than for him to contact Aerosoft. Of course he will need a receipt of purchase. To me it seems to be the most logical decision. Thank you.

After a little over a year of design work, testing and more prototypes than I can count, I finally reached a point where I’m happy with the Project-X GA modules I’ve been building.

The goal from the beginning was simple — create solid, realistic, plug-and-play controls inspired by General Aviation aircraft, something that actually feels right in the hand and not like a toy.

Everything went through multiple revisions until it felt mechanically right and reliable. It’s been a long process but a really fun one.

Just wanted to share the result with the community that inspired a lot of this project. I’d love to hear what you guys think.

If you are interested i added links to all the photos of all the modules below, still tons to come - currently finalizing transponder, autopilot and radio stack!

Calm Skies to all!

Flying any helicopter is not really a problem for me but precision landing, e.g. on a heli pad, most certainly is, especially the pre-landing hovering part at very low altitude and the then letting it settle down exactly on the "H", mostly in forward 2D panel cockpit view mode.

Has anyone been able to do this correctly and has any advice for me ?

I'm using the standard flight yolk, rudder pedals and power slider, which all work correctly.

Fondest regards and awaiting reactions.

If I click "yes," absolutely nothing happens. Is there anyone who has clear instructions on what I can do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have activated it by turning of firewall but that doesnt work either

(It puzzles me that FSDreamTeam still sells products for FS9 when their support is non-existent. Why don’t they just release these old products, which I have already purchased?)

I've buyed the model presented by Virtavia, and having the repaint for the Alphasims version with the Belgian levery, I tried to install this repaints on the Virtavia version.
I had to modify some lines in the Airplanes.cfg, and I succeeded to have a perfect result.

By the way, The repaint is not really exactly the one I want, and I'd like to create new repaints of my Hunter for the 3 squadrons in place on my base.
And probably with the Red devils levery... Why not! 😊
I've downloaded the DXTBmp software and have also Photoshop.

How could i do this work?
Is there a tutorial for create repaints for FS 2004 from an existing texture?

Thanks for all.
 

Several folks in another forum were giggling and discussing how you were experiencing multiple problems with your new installation of FS9 on Windows 11. Don't listen to them.

While Windows 7 was always the best platform to run FS9 on, FS9 WILL RUN on Windows 11. However, you may have some issues with your payware FSX converted sceneries for FS9. Not sure why. But some tech savvy guys have stated that Win 11 is good at sniffing out all kinds of software it deems harmful or controversial. These new AI algorithms are something else. 

Hope you get it figured out. 

I’m having a very frustrating issue with the Tupolev 134 addon in FS2004 (FS9) — the sounds (cockpit buttons, announcements, specific aircraft audio) work perfectly on one PC (laptop - WindoS 7), but on my main simulator PC (desk computer - window 10) they don’t play at all, even though:

• The exact same files were copied from the working PC

• All audio works for other aircraft on the simulator PC

• I tried registry fixes, FSSoundDLL prompt, reinstalling the Tu‑134 addon, checked all Windows audio settings, restored the system, and compared settings between both PCs

• FS2004 is installed in the same relative location with the same config

I suspect something machine/environment specific but I’ve been unable to identify what it is.

What I have tried so far:

• Copied identical files from the working PC
• Reinstalled the Tu‑134 addon
• Tested FSSound and allowed DLL loading
• Restored Windows registry with system restore
• Verified audio device, sample rates, Windows configuration
• Compared registry and FS9 settings between both PCs
• No antivirus or permission issues

Symptoms on the simulator PC:

• Engine sounds play
• Standard FS9 sounds play
• Specific sounds for this aircraft do not play
• No errors beyond FSSound DLL load prompt

Question:

Has anyone seen this behavior before? Any obscure setting or registry entry that could explain why this aircraft’s sounds won’t play on one machine but do on another with the same files?

Thanks in advance for any help!
