    Hi all, I've been a long time user of Eaglesoft's Citation X (V1) and also their Citation II. I recently got a new PC running windows 8, and downloaded and installed new versions of these aircraft. They always cause my computer/FS2004 to crash to the desktop. I haven't noticed that it happens when I do any particular thing, but it does happen very shortly after I load the aircraft. This happens with NO other aircraft I have downloaded or installed, and happens with both my Eaglesoft products, so it HAS to be a ESDG problem. I've been attempting to gain support or access to the Eaglesoft forums for over a month by emailing support with no results, so I'm hoping some…

    Hi everyone, Lately I´ve been running into some weird problems when using ENB or SweetFX. I had ENB running perfectly til some days ago when I had to reinstall FS9. Now, with no changes whatsoever to any configuration or hardware, I´ve been experiecing this kind of flashing behavior whenever I change views or open windows in 2D panels: Note that it doesn´t show this kind of purpish color every time. Depending on the ENB settings, it may get completely dark or bright, or anything in between. But it always does that whenever changing views, which is getting pretty anoying. My system specs: Intel Core i7 2.67 8GB RAM GTX 760 Any light on that will …

  5. Has anyone ever seen this problem? This shot was taken above Beaufort Marine Corps Air Station in South Carolina. I have recently installed Ultimate Terrain USA and I am using the freeware FS Genesis mesh for the east coast. I thought this was the only location this occured in, but I also noticed it in an area in Louisiana on a flight today. Am I missing some ground texture or something? I am also using MAIW for Beaufort MCAS. Thanks.

    I can't help but wonder why on earth the iFly folks would want to release another 737NG title for FS2004. Why should anyone get it, particularly if they already have PMDG's 737NG and 737-800/900? I've seen the screen shots of the iFly 737NG and while they look very good indeed they don't look to me to be any improvement over PMDG's 737NG titles. Not superior enough for me to what to throw away my investment in my PMDG titles and repaints in favor of iFly's 737NG.It seems to me that iFly should have developed its version for FSX where it wouldn't face any competition with PMDG (since it is beginning to look increasingly unlikely that PMDG will be releasing a FSX version…

    im using FS9 i upgraded my Widows XP from service pack 2 to 3, and since then all my aircraft textures have changed. Not the livery as such, but the wings and flap areas, the elevators as well have changed colour- very weird! Even the sun reflection on the aircraft does not seem to show on the right side of the plane. Help will be apreciated. Charles.

    After installing the Ernie Alston ISG GNS-XLS FMS, there been a problem with the IVSI. When opening Dreamfleet 727, FS9 shows a pop up saying that ILH_TCAS was unable to load. I love this setup and Ernie's FMS works great, but no IVSI nor traffic information will display, just a blank screen. I don't think it's an ISG GNS problem but instead the retrofit put out by Meatwater. I didn't install Meatwater's panel retrofits in the DF727 as I'd like to have some 727's with no GPS. Those variants without Meatwater's retrofits all have an IVSI and display traffic info. My apologies for posting this if I'm posting this on the wrong site but can't get answers on…

    hello, i have been using FSX for about 1.5 years but I only just installed FS9 yesterday. so I am completely new to the old platform. (FS9) once thing I am really missing in FS9 is the opus head shaking effects. English is not my first language so i dont know how to describe it well but i am talking of the camera shaking effect in opus; especially during take off landing and taxi. at the moment FS9 is just too static for me. :( so my question is can anyone tell me if anything at all exists for fs9 that will give the same head movement (or camera shaking) effect. i would like it to be as simple as possible. hopefully not like opus with many o…

  11. Just something I was thinking about. I'm running Real H2O V2 which I really like. I also have Zinertek water and REX. Is it possible to use water textures from one program, wave animation from another, and corals from a third program? For example, water from Zinertek, water animation from Real H2O, and corals from REX. Each one is very different from the other and I'm worried it might mess something up. Anybody ever try something like this? If you guys think there is a possibility that it will screw up my FS9 water, I'd rather not try it.

  13. Hey guys. I've been installing sceneries for years and have never encountered this problem: I added a few freeware airports today, and now when I click on "Settings - Scenery Library - Add Area", it is taking me to my Documents folder instead of the Add On Scenery Folder. I can manually navigate through to the add-on folder, but I was just wondering how to change it back. Where is the file that contains the path for when you click "Add-Area" and how do I change it so the right folder opens up? This was pretty hard to search for an answer to this, I've had no luck. If anyone else can find it, could you at leawst point me to the right topic on the forum? Plus I'll k…

    The tittle says it all. This is for FS9 Aerosoft Brussels. As you can see from the screen shots the clouds and also aircraft seem to over ride the Window textures. This does not happen at night. All is fine when the sun goes done, it is just during daylight I have reinstalled the scenery and updated my drivers for my video card which is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX670 I have asked on the Areosoft boards there but they had no answerers for my problem. I have also just noticed this at VTBS made by Armi as well. Here are a couple of screen shoots Thank you all for any help that you may be able to give me on this problem.

    Down in OZ it's 7.30pm Christmas Eve so I'm getting in early. We are not as politically correct down here as some, so phrases such as "Happy Holidays" and "Festive Season" have yet to infiltrate. Nevertheless I hope I have not offended anyone who might read this. After all the Christmas message includes "goodwill to all men" ... the emphasis is mine. Enjoy the anniversary of Christ's birth as you will. I wish you all peace, joy, family unity, love, health and safety. Let us also continue to enjoy the countless benefits our favourite flight sim confers upon us. A toast ... Salute! :p0504:

I have Nvidia Inspector set to 32x but I still see the jagged lines. The other thing is I have seen some sharp textures in FS9 with a search on the net. How can I have those. Also please recommend europe sceneries freeware or payware. I have Nl2000 but need the other countries too, APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE IF THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN DISCUSSED. Thnx.

This only seems to happen on some 'add on' airports...The default Airports seem OK... I then use the ctrl+Alt+ Del to get out of the programme and the box with the status highlights 'e5d141.tmp'...Not sure what this means, but it seems to crop up when I get the "This Programme is not responding" message" It gets stranger though...a couple of times, I've had the "programme is not responding" and then suddenly... FS9 loads... I'm running: FSX Deluxe SP1 & SP2 - FS9: Windows XP …

  21. I have been curious for a long time how long other people have been using Microsoft Flight Sim. I started using it about 1983 on Flight Sim 1.01. It only had 4 cities in the world, Chicago, Boston, LA and Seattle. I must have logged several hundred hours on that thing. I went through all the versions before settling on FS9. I think my total hours must be over 50,000. I also have logged about 60 hours real world in a C152, and I have an Aircraft Dispatcher license. I use Orbiter Flight Sim too, and Railworks Train Sim, but MSFS is the best. I wish they were still in business. How long has everyone else been using MSFS? Anyone got me beat or at least been using it as lo…

    Out of the blue, I have this new recurring problem. I get a "FS9 has stopped working" message at the end of the flight load sequence (scenery, traffic, etc, load apparently OK then crash). The event log points to a ntdll.dll fault with always the same exception code and the same offset. I have not knowingly made any changes to sceneries or other before this started to happen; just tinkering with FSUIPC settings. Here is what I have tried: - disabled all sceneries except stock - renamed fs9.cfg - tried to reinstall DirectX but MSoft won't do it because it is OK and current - selected/created other flights Now for the puzzling bit: I had saved a backup of F…
