The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

wanted to ask the to see about upgrading some of their older planes to fs9 but cant find their email or contact form, please dont post the email in here please PM me.. thanks!!

Just a thought,with the current problem with the updates could you not export the entire Editvoicepack et al and upload it to this site?as it`s freeware there should be no legal problem! :rolleyes:

I'm setting up a triple screen for my scenery. FSX works really well through eyefinity but FS9 is slow and stutters, is there any config settings for FS9 that are specific to using multi monitor setups, especially where eyefinity is used. Cheers Mart.

Looking for a little insight. Using FS4 with usb Flight Sim Yoke with Win7. Will regularly go out of calibration, though not on every boot of the computer. Don't calaibrate via FS, use the control panel. On going to settings for the driver, the centering control bounces all around on its own. After doing the calibration process, seems to be set up, but on returning to FS aircraft will drift lelft on take off. Once in the air, seems to straighted out for flight, but then falls into drift on landing. If set calibration to default, will sometimes work, sometimes not. ?????? Makes me a little crazy. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi Good People, Just a heads up for you - the Ford Project Team has just released the Fordlandia scenery for FS2004 - AVAILABLE HERE ON AVSIM.COM in the FS2004 Scenery group. Fordlandia is a now-abandoned, prefabricated industrial town established in the Amazon Rainforest in 1928 by American industrialist Henry Ford to secure a source of cultivated rubber for the automobile manufacturing operations of the Ford Motor Company in the United States. The scenery re-creates the late 20's early 30's rendition of the Fordlandia Venture - plus has some scenery enrichments by the Ford Project Team Slideshow: http://www.ford-tri-motor.net/counter/Extra-Cou…

I recently downloaded a freeware PAD Bombardier CJR700. I am pretty happy with it except that it sounds more like a revved up motorbike or a German buzz bomb. Is it possible to obtain a more accurate soundpack and make a switch? All of it's other sounds are normal. JGSJW

I decompiled a scenery bgl file using BGL2xml. I then edited it in xml and saved. How do I recompile the file again with a bgl extension Trevor

Hello Folks I have a large collection of PA Airbuses ,and all use the the tried and trusted Ken Mitchell panel. My problem is not with panel ,but with the night lighting it comes with , i.e just a fierce white light ,nothing subtle ,and certainly no match for my other aircraft most of which have excellent lighting. Also the taxi lights are very poor ,short in beam and just sort of wrong. My question I am sure there must a way of improving the cockpit lighting/taxi /landing lights for the otherwise excellent PA Airbus and venerable KM panel. I don't no how . I am sure you do. cheers HW

The Fall Event Team is happy to announce The Transcontinental. In a sense, this is a six hour event similar to the much longer Round the World Race. This is a live real time race running coast-to-coast from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Set in the late 1940s, the main aircraft are World War II surplus fighters (specified in a White List). The structure of the event will require several refueling stops. Solo entries are fine, multimember team entries may be even better. The start time is at 0800 PDT (1500 UTC) on Saturday October 26, 2013. The event will take about six hours from start to finish. European and North American pilots should be able to make …

Does ANYONE have ANY idea in which scenery BGL file I will find EDDF Frankfurt-am-Rhine international airport ? I wish to edit/update the runway ILSs as the stock files are outdated. Any help will be appreciated. Regards Trevor

Hello, I have bought the aitt2 program. I am just wondering whether it is possible to resolve an issue occurring when i run the time table in some world zones (ex. the US) which are before the GMT time. I have noted that when the flight is scheduled at a departure time which, according to the GMT, is referred to the subsequent day (ex: departure from KJFK at 22.00, that is 3.00 of the day after GMT), the shown departure time on the time table is always wrong.. it seems that the program is unable to have two different days together. Anyone has had the same issue? Thanks to all Luca

Hi, sorry, this question may have been discussed already, but as far as I found under a different understanding. Particularly our mate martinlest2 has posted back in 2008, but somehow the original text seems to have been disappeared and generally these old threads are hard to read due to strange formatting. http://forums1.avsim.net/topic/235923-dealing-with-out-of-memory-errors/?hl=martinlest2 So this is my Problem. I have read many times that the Scenery.cfg has a limitation of thousand (=999) entries. Recently I had OOMs in my sim at a flight Tbilisi-Dubai without finding a cause, I only assumed that AI traffic could have been the culprit. It was the first time I h…

I currently have the FSDreamteam version of Zurich (FS9), but I am wondering how the Aerosoft version is. Is it better than the FSDreamteam Zurich?

My recent freeware download of the Dreamwings Dash 8 doesn't receive any glideslope signal. The alignment bars for the GS and the Localizer signals are there but no signal itself.I had trouble downloading it and getting things to work right so maybe I left something out. Any ideas? JGSJW

Hello simmers, I recently installed my Bobby again to fly some Lufthansa routes especially with the Polish Airports Scenery. For that I use the Wilco B737 with dynamics+panel and for the model the nice 50N. It looks very nice and real but the lights are making some trouble. from 2D panel I can't see the taxi lights they are not visible only in the outside view if I turn on/off the landing light the logo light goes on/off too the logo light itself only works on the right side (co-pilot), the left side (captain) is not illuminated Thats quite strange in my eyes and I'm wondering if there is a way to fix it maybe with changing some values in the aircraft.cfg.

Hi Does anyone else just have squares for the coastline around Dublin? 10 years of PC flying and I have never been to Dublin. I purchased eirsims EIDW and noticed it then. I disabled EIDW, all mesh scenery, and also the myworld landclass. It still seems to be blocks in the default? Wondering if there is a fix, or some payware to fix it. Moley

Just a heads-up for those who haven't hit the news pages yet.

Does anybody know of any scenery that depicts the London Olympic Park? It is now a major landmark that is visible on arrivals to Heathrow 27L/R, it is very close to London City, and some departure routes from Gatwick will also go nearby. It would be great to have the major buildings in FS - the Olympic Stadium, the Aquatics Centre, the Orbit, the Copper Box and the Velodrome. While on the subject of sporting venues in London, I noticed that FS2004 needs updates for both Wembley Stadium and Wimbledon, as the buildings for both are obsolete in FS. And what about Twickenham rugby stadium which would be very visible to the left of aircraft on relatively short finals to He…

Hi, I recently had a series of OOM when approaching Dubai from Tbilisi via Iran. After FS2004 closes I get the well known error message stating that either "flight.dll" or "facilities.dll" caused the crash, and one time (out of six or seven tests) it stated INS.gau (this is the gauge of the Inertial Navigation System of my DF 727). I use A. Svanidzes UGTB, Persian-Sim Iranian airports and FlyTampa Dubai rebooted, though I don't think that any sceneries causes the error, because I tested some configurations with and without these sceneries and without AI-traffic and finally the error didn't occur when I set AI Traffic to 0% with all other features unchanged (and IN…

... (to the would-be mugger): "That is not a knife - THIS is a knife" Well THIS is an AFCAD: which Is in the Library from Stefan Schmidt - Imaginesim. Zowie on the strength of that alone I am tempted to buy the scenery, anyone have comments?

I just purchased a new computer and, as a result, I'm now using Windows 7 Professional. I just installed FS9 and was wondering: Where is the FS9.cfg file now? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks....

Hi Good People, Just a short heads up on a scenery project that we, the Ford Project Team, have been working on for a couple of months. The Historical but very much fogotten, Fordlandia of Brazil - Henry Ford's venture into the Rubber industry. Unfortunately the venture was a resounding failure - Henry lost over $20 million dollars in the late 20's/30's on this venture and built a very big settlement and industry. The Fordlandia project is very close to being ready for release - just some AI and traffic to be created for the Land and Sea runways - so you should see it here at AVSIM.com in the near future. For those that want a bit more details on the proj…

I'm currently using Ultimate Traffic. There are a lot of missing liveries and many are not up to date. I've been meaning to update them for a while after getting suggestions from members here on how to do it. But I still haven't gotten to it. On the WOAI site, there is an installer and airline packages. Do I just download the installer and use that to install the livery packages? Can both Ultimate Traffic and WOAI be run together? That way I can just add the missing airlines and turn off generic paints in UT. If not, I think I may just uninstall UT and try out WOAI. It shouldn't be too difficult to install a few livery packs everytime before starting …

Hi After reading about FS Global Real Weather I'm curious is it better then ASE which I own? Regards Edin

Have fully customized FS2004 build on i7-2700k with GTX570 and planning to buy GTX 780 in anticipation of BF4 (I know, I know and I'm sorry:-)). Read some posts that modern videcards doesn not like FS2004 for some reasons and even NVidia Inspector cannot solve the problem with graphic artifacts. Anyone able to confirm that? Thanks
