The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

Hi everyone, im running fs9 on windows7 and I have had very few problems up to now. When I double click to start fs9 I get a message that reads .... the program cannot start because MSVCR70.dll is missing from your computer. try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. I really dont want to reinstall fs9 & the dozens of addons onto my system!!!! IS there a way around this problem? Help please!! Thanks in advance! Gary

Are there any choices other than "Active Camera" for FS9 to get enhanced views? There seem to be some updates that have corrected past problems, but none of the FAQ's I found were from recent years or OS versions. Please redirect me if this is the wrong forum.

In some of my addon sceneries the default autogen power pylons are visible in the airport areas on runways and taxiways. Exclude files are in place, and they remove autogen houses and trees but not the power pylons. Why is that? I can only remove the pylons by turning down the autogen slider to off or sparse. The attached pic shows ImagineSim Charlotte 2013 with pylons that penetrate into the airport area. I emailed ImagineSim about the issue, but they cannot duplicate it on their side. What can I do to make the pylons go away? Thanks, Henning Larsen Attached pic: http://imageshack.dk/viewimage.php?file=http://imageshack.dk/?img=121393236637.jpg

Hi! I have been looking around for the basepackage of PAI (Project AI) Fokker 50 AI-aircraft. Anyone knows if its still possible to download it somewhere? There is still comming out many repaints but I dont find the original aircraft anywhere. Regards Johnny

I know this isn't the correct forum, but I cannt find the Flight Deck Compannion Live Cockpit form????? The book says its under: Commercial support forum hosted by Avsim, but I cann't find it. Anyone know where it is??Someone here might know my answer. In Fs2004 using FDC Live Cockpit:"I know that I have missed it, but I've looked and looked and I can not find it. I have been working off and on for three weeks trying to get this new FDC Live Cotpit set up. There are about 40 different announcements that I want to use. At first I was going to setup every thing manually but then I saw on the "startup" window of FDC were setting where that you could enter the DEPARTURE, BOA…

FS9, FSX, P3D compatible so go get it. Existing V2 users get a 40% discount as well. Only downside is no AES yet. I know there is an FSX thread on this right now but wanted to make users who may not be aware that there is a brand new FS9 version as well.

G'day guy's wondering if anyone can help. I just went to do a config in my fsuipc config which usaully resides in my module folder.

I have scenery for Ivanovo air force base in Russia (XUID) and the scenery has loads of static planes. I want to delete all of the static planes except for the An-22's. How can I do this? There is a bgl file for the static An-22's but no other bgl files for the static planes. (The scenery can be found at avsim.su and the file name is 45018-Project-Ivanovo-04-06-2012.zip)

I am trying to install Sim Giants North tenerife into my FS9 which is on a seperate hard drive to the OS system (W7 64 bit) When I start the installer (using run as admin) it cant find FS2004. There is not a manual override to this installer so Im stuck. Ive contacted the FS pilot shop from whom I purchased re the problem. thay say that my reg path may be broken and suggested Flight 1 reg tool This Ive done but the problem still exists......unable to install. Ive never had this problem before with any scenery installation. If it points to the wrong hard drive I install with the manual overide option pointing it to where it should be. Any suggestions o…

After recent problems with fs9 not loading I have decided to do a reinstall. Is there anyway to keep all my addons intact while I reinstall fs9? Here's hoping!!

I have successfully merged the level D and the sky spirit 767-300 with no issues, however, the 764 has given me fits. Anytime I set my trim, it will go into a nose dive or steep climb. It seems it is either all or nothing with the trim settings. I love the sky spirit 764!

G'day all, I have recently had to build another PC due to motherboard failure and started from scratch as most of my data was lost. I have finished setting up FS2004 but notice that my ground scenery is being drawn too late. I have tried different graphic cards, Ram and tweaking with bios settings to no avail. My system specs are as follows:- AMD Phenon 940 black edition 8 Gb Ram 2 x ATI HD 7770 OC edition (non crossfire) Windows 7 64-Bit REX overdrive FS Global 2010 When flying (or taxiing) the dynamic scenery such as ground vehicles, taxiway and runway signs are drawn way too late. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated including recom…

I just saw this at Simmarket. Interesting considering I do most of my flying in Asia. http://simmarket.com/imagine-sim-zspd-shanghai-pudong-fs2004.phtml

What grass texture file does FS use for the default airport's apron, and what does AFCAD or ADE use for its grass polygons? I would like to set one of the grass textures in AFCAD to match the default textures and use it as a small multi-sided flatten option.

I just recently downloaded the Wilco 777. Whenever I go to start the engines, I am able to successfully start them but the generators will not turn on and the word fault is on the button. I also have a bleed air warning on my EICAS that will not go away? Does anyone know anything to help this matter?

We moved the Crash to Desktop (CTD) and 'All About Us' sub-forums to the AVSIM Fixed Based Operations (FBO) Section today. They were formerly located as sub-forums to the FSX Forum. It will make it easier for members to locate the CTD Forum and allow members to post crashes not only while using FSX but any flightsim. If you have a crash while using FSX, P3D, FS9, and X-Plane please post the details of the crash there so members will not have to dig through a lot of non-crash topics to see a related problem they might be having. We have also moved the 'All About Us' to the FBO Section. This will allow members who not only visit the FS9 Forum but any forum on AVSIM …

Just wondered if anyone has any experience with the Eaglesoft Cessna Citation CJ1+ 2.0 in FS9? Have had my eye on it for quite a while, but would like to get some input from anyone that has used it. I am aware it is sold thru Flight1 so there is a money back policy, but still would be nice to hear some users thoughts. Thanks in advance.

I am trying to install the KBT P-3A Aero Star (the FS9 version) and the installer is not letting me install the plane on my Win7 system (I guess the installer was made for XP?). Is there a place I can get this plane without the installer? Or is there a way I can install this plane on my computer?

Hi,EDIT It appears that the reason for the engines not starting was that it was too cold in MSP, at -14C TAT... anyone know how to remedy this situation?!So I have a curious little problem with my PSS/POSKY 757's. I was flying last night, I started with a flight from ATL-MSP and completed it no problem. Decided to do the return flight to ATL, so I put sim speed at 4x to pass the hour layover. When it was time to start the engines, they WOULD NOT START. N3 would spool up to 23.8 or so but the engine would not start, with the PSS 757 the engines engage at 24 N3 (at least with the RR aircraft). So I gave up and went to bed. Then this morning, I had the same problem.The probl…

Congratulations to 'our' edetroit (Edward Cox) for placing within the top ten of repainters for FS9/FSX. :Applause: :drinks: http://www.curimedia.com/los-mejores-20-repainters-para-flight-simulator/ tells it all. Also front page news on AirDailyX. Very well done mate. I expect the next time you are awarded it will be for your videos.

Hello all! I'm new to the forum and would like some help please!! I have recently installed fs2004 again after using fsx for a while... My computer isn't quite up to fsx really so have come back to fs9. I'm very disappointed because the textures in general are very poor!! Including the planes..much much worse than fsx!!! I was surprised to see no anisotropic filtering, as in fsx...just to say I've had fs9 on this computer before with excellent results, so I don't know what's going on! These are roughly my computer specs.. Intel 2.4 (quad core..and yes I know that FS doesn't take any advantage of multi core) processor. ATI radeon 7700 1gb card 4 GB memory This…

Hi, Read everyone's postings on the best Freeware Airports for FS9/FS2004 and checked out each link. Got to say those links provide some really good designed airports and have downloaded most of them. I came across the avsimrus website many years ago when looking for Russian airports to add on the my flight simulator and without the aid of a picture to give a clue to what the designed airport looked like I downloaded it and added it to my FS. 'Wow was my thoughts when I opened my FS to that airport. Even with Active Sky downloaded weather (winter) it looked great. Here's my question and perhaps added as a new topic: - Has any flight-simmer added an airport t…

Since I started installing AI Traffic in 2004 (mostly with WOAI), several airlines have folded, Delta and NW became one, American has a new livery etc. My *.bgl files were adapted accordingly, but I never deleted obsolete texture folders. So over time, the number of texture folders has grown considerably. I am considering a cleanup. The number of aircraft will remain the same, only the number of texture folders will be a bit lower. Is it worth it? Does - (1) the number of aircraft models (first subfolder in the aircraft folder, containing the *air file) and/or - (2) the number of texture folders have an impact on - (a) FS startup time …

I know that Cold-War era military aircraft isn't everyone's "cup of tea" but I think all of us can agree that Michael Pearson has truly proved himself to be one of the most prolific and talented freeware providers in the history of our hobby... In the past two years he has released an astonishing number of military AI aircraft packages for FS9. Do a library search and you will be amazed at the variety and quality of the work he has released. It seems like every month, and recently every week or two, he releases a new package. Along with people like Nick Black, John Young, Jake Burrus and other AI developers, we can populate our FS skies with some of the most fascinating a…

On the left side of the NAV page the VSR figure should be the required descent speed to the next waypoint when flying approaches. When on final to the runway the figure I am getting is very low and nowhere near the required descent speed needed to keep me on glideslope to the runway.Anybody else observed this? Am I misunderstanding the function of the VSR figure? Is the readout in hundreds of feet by any chance? This would make it about right.
