The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

I have spent hours and hours now on this and have had to admit defeat. Does anyone recognise the a/c from its shape? Traffic Explorer (from Traffic Toolbox) tells me it is a Tu204 (yes, looks like one) and sure enough, when I choose 'view', the sim goes straight to the plane. I find the entry for the plane (tail number) in the aia Tu204 folder's aircraft.cfg. BUT ... even if I remove that folder completely from the sim, the a/c is still there. I backed up my main traffic.bgl file and then used TTools to remove all Tu204s from my AI traffic (I replaced every mention in the aircraft txt file with an a/c I know appears OK). But even with the new bgl file the bl…

Hi All: Anyone know of a way to improve the POSKY lights on their aircraft? They are way too loud and a box is around the wingtip lights. Terrible! Thanks! Ed Ryan

Hi, I am having problems with the nose wheel steering during taxiing and the take off roll ! As soon as I apply power the steering goes to maximum right lock without any inputs from me. Then after a few seconds the steering will centre again before repeating the process again. I don't know if it had anything to do with it, but I did try to do turns while going through the push back. the contols I used where...SHIFT + P then SHIFT +P + 1 & 2 . Can anyone provide me with a solution to this problem. Thanks in anticipation Aerovan.

Thanks to AirDailyX I see Lockheed Martin has released some preliminary data on Version 2 of Prepar3D. To summarise DX11 is supported and finally modern graphics, and cards, are supported as are multithreads/cores. http://www.prepar3d.com/news/2013/10/4507/ I guess this is what us FS9's have been really waiting for. Check it out.

I am new to this game and am probably doing something wrong. I have the Airbus A380 by Graviton Mediatech and can't get the auto throttle to work the light comes on but won't take over from the joystick lever. Malc

I've made a WW2 airfield that has a 100ft or so hill near it with the Battle HQ on top. The trouble is flight sim has a flat area there. Can, & how do, I make a hill there? I have the vertex at 21 but the area is still flat. Thanks.

Hey! I've found the set of B-52 Stratofortress's made bij Mike Pearson. Fantastic! Now I'm looking for AI flightplans for these fantastic aircraft... Anyone knows where to find? Greetz Jive1 Belgium

Anyone know fs9.cfg twekas to increase FS2004 graphics to as high as possible? Can you increase level of autogen, clouds etc. like in fsx.cfg? Since FS2004 runs with 60 fps+ I'd like to have even better graphics than is possible with using the default settings menu.

Hello Folks, please take a look in the picture attached and help me with this textures. I don't know how to solve this. The FSX also installed in my computer does not show this blurries. Thanks in advance! Windows 8 Geforce 745M Intel I7

Hi Folks. Does anybody know why, when I go to 3D virtual cockpit mode I lose the Red with white writing flags at the bottom left of the screen that let you know if you have the Parking brakes on, after pressing Shift period, as well as letting you know FS9 is paused after clicking the 'P' on keyboard. They show up in 2D cockpit but disappear in the 3D cockpit. Is there a way of remedying this please? Thanks John

I'm flying the PSS/Posky B772 merge from the forum and it's coming with a kind of advanced Posky Utility panel. With that panel you can also activate things like chocks,fuel truck,GPU tube and guys standing on the cargo loaders. But the chocks are not appearing when activated. For the rest I only get gray models without colours. The guys for the cargo loaders are gray but the loaders itself are in full colour. My question is now where to get the rest? How to activate the chocks and get the gray models full with live and colour? Thanks mates and nice evening

Can anyone help me. I have been trying to install RealCDG, have downloaded it and declared it in the scenery library where it appears as RealCGD. It does not show on the fs9 sceneries, no LFPG. Where am I going wrong; I do remember having this airport many years ago. Lusitano.

Hi all.. I have the following annoying problem within FS9: whenever i talk to ATC or when ATC talks to me the game stutters for a microsecond.(just before the atc voice sound is heard the game hangs for a very brief moment..it is almost as if my system has to stop for a split second to load the corresponding wav file..) the sound does not stutter at all, and when i press shift Z twice and look at the FPS counter it does not stutter either, it`s just that the video pauses.. I am not at my desktop pc right now and will post system information ASAP..But maybe someone here has experienced the same problem and can help me fix it..The game performs smooth otherwise an…

Hey! http://www.panoramio.com/photo/82641950 have a look at that.. The spacing is far more than that of the FS2004 alot! is there any way to increase spacing and increase realism? any cfg edits or tools?

Hi. Not sure is this correct place to ask, but recently after upgrade to Catalyst 13.9 I noticed strange ghost image (of previous screen) when changing views. I had this behavior with old drivers but only when opening part of panel (for example pedestal) for first time (due to longer load time). But know each time I show/hide IvAP panel with CTRL+F9, I have ghost image for 2 seconds. If I go to windowed mode I don't have this behavior, but then I have "screen tearing". Anyway, is there solution for this? I had Cat 12.10 but now for unknown reason I'm unable to return to that drivers due to error message. And my backup hard drive died. Thanks Edin

After a long and useless search looking for Repaints for these great models can i pose the question,why are there not more textures available for FS9. Painters tend to gravitate towards FSX which is a great pity. Will any painter take the time to respond as i need info on how to go about this task or better still do the textures i`m sure the FS9 community would be most grateful. The two in the pic are DJC`s and there is no Sharklet model. Cheers. Alcan.

Anyone have a good setup for NI for FS2004?

Hi, Since there is no formal way to determine clouds' layers thickness from METER, I'm wondering what is the logic ASE applies in calculating this parameter. Thanks Dmitriy

A few months ago my FS9 installation went down the drain. I purchased Drzewiecki Miami 2012, read the manual where it tells you, if you want to get the best result, disable UT USA from the scenery library. I did that and suddenly my ground textures turned blue all over the world. I tried everything to fix it but it remained. Because of that, I uninstalled FS9 and any related add on. While I was at it, I decided to get a new hard drive. I went out and purchased a 250gig SSD for FSX and FS9. I reinstalled FSX and its associated add ons first. Got it running really good and been flying it for the last few months. Then last night out of nowhere, I thought mayb…

I have a good looking wave animation FSX'esque happening on my flight today, but it gets ruined by that graphic pulse you have at water, full out. Has anybody found a way to get around that, for I realize that it was mentioned somewhere...it is the core code that does that. Is there a fix, of which I am not presently aware? Everything else looks great on my present flight out of KMYR to KFNT.

Hi there everyone, Does anyone know the proper way to add apu sounds to TSS engine sounds? I have a few of their sounds and really like them but they do not have any apu sounds when engine shut down. I want to add an apu sound from other sounds I have but can't figure out the correct way to do i.e where abouts in the sound.cfg file I should add the lines and if I should add for each engine or as separate misc sound at the end of the file? Any help would be much appreciated. Look forward to replies. Kind Regards Gavin Moss

Hello everyone. I have ACOF FS2004 version and recently got a virus in my computer and I believe I have accidentally removed a file or maybe more files from MS FS2004. I am unable to start the engines whenever I press the Ctrl+E keys. Only if I press the "Y" key, bring the plane to a high altitude and then press the "Y" key again, then, the engines will start. I used to bring the view of my aircraft either, higher or lower by pressing Shift+backspace or Shift+Enter, however, that command doesn't work either. Can someone tell me how do I recover those commands without having to un install FS, as I have hundreds of add-ons that I don't want to loose, Hopefully the solution …

Hi there, whenever I open a panel in FS2004 it appears undocked, i.e. with an ugly windows edge around it. Is there a way to force FS2004 to open panels docked right from the start without having to right click the panel? Cheers

Anyone have any ideas what is going on here? This looks like an unfinished scenery that I never installed. I have no LHBP scenery installed on my machine (FS2004) and I have looked everywhere to figure out what is causing this blank look all over the airport. Anyone got any ideas what scenery this is?

Good evening everyone, I am in the process of loading flighplans which contain 787 flights that are in service. I have most installed but can't seem to find any for the following, either as standalone flighplans or within an airlines package: China Southern 787 (just installed China Southern Summer 2013, but no 787 in the package) LAN Airlines 787 Hainan Airlines 787 United Airlines 787 I know UTT did have a flighplan file a few months ago for some including United but now I cannot find it anywhere. It's a bit frustrating given that United 787's in particular, have been in service for a while and the lates flighplan for United I can find is AIG Winter 2011-…
