The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

Hi I absolutely love this scenery but for reason there appears to be a section missing from the ground textures I've removed and reloaded it numerous times but the problem persists I've run the FRF Phoenix file and it's fine without any texture issues, but it cant beat the Simflyers file

I use Logitech G940 to fly Wilco Airbus A320.I find that you can't use single throttle to control single engine.No matter how I set,I only can use single throttle to control two engine.Can you tell me how to set double control?Thanks very much. Jin Liang

Since we were making tremendous headway in the other thread on this subject (FS9 is STILL the #1 flight simulator for 'heavy' operations!), I'd like to continue the discussion here. It seems some have found with great success how to get more out of the ground scenery than we once thought was possible. This is the last major evolution FS9 needs to insure it stands the test of time going into the future. It will give a decent alternative to FSX until Microsoft get's their head out of their you know what...

I've recently installed some of the BSS sceneries around the airports I fly. However, no matter how I have my scenery library layered, the photoscenery always overlays my taxiways and such. Even when I have the airport scenery prioritized in the scenery library. Why is this? It's happened both at KSMF and KOAK.

Could some one please let me have the gen on correcting these airports LIMJ is especially out of kilter as the pic shows.

I have fsdt KLAS to fs9. When the active rwy is 7L/R, the AI planes don't stop correctly. If one is h/s 7L, the next one will go right into them and so on. I was taxing and stopped behind 2 that were both at the h/s node. Then 2 more planes went right trough me and right into the others. This is the only runway that has this problem. 25R, 1L/R, 19L/R all work fine. I'd seen something about this before, but can't find the message about it nor what forum I saw it at. I use ADE for my afcads.

Hello all :-) I've a problem, I can't import my flight plan to ASE. My file extension is pln. I generate flight plan by PFPX Please Help Me Best regards Tomek from Poland

For my weather engine I use FSMetar. In the last couple of days I thought to have a look at FsRealWx. On the face of it, it seemed ok but it did nasty things to the sim. It would appear that if you have a "modified" sim1.dll for example to stop a/c skating all over the ground then it's prone to corruption by FsRealWx. First time it crashed the sim completely when trying to load weather and the second time it corrupted the way scenery is displayed. Mountains appeared as simple grey shapes. So, I decided to return to FSMetar. I like it because it's simple and displays the weather as is (i.e realistic! - If I want something special It's easy enough to set it up with the …

Hi, I got the problem that when I fly in Germany, I got a blurry scenery about all over the place, when I use time excelleration like 2x. When flying with Feelthere B737, my computer seems to be soo bussy with the scenery that computing the aircraft gets hard and I get sudden bank angle warning and sudden movements. I got a pretty decent computer, as you can see in my signature... And see the screenshot please. What do you need to know about my FS9.cfg or anything else, so you'r able to help me here to improof my FS9 experience? Greetings, Torben

Here's a thought - you might try it. MAX_DEM_AREA might be tied with TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=, TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=, and TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=. The formula for finding areas of circles, of course, is piR^2... so with the numbers you have posted there, you're requesting the sim to load textures out to an area of 3117 units - but you're limiting your max DEM resolution to 200 units. Perhaps, if you bump up your max DEM area to, say, 3200, that would cover all the sharp textures you're requesting. With default values, DEM_MAX_AREA is set to 100 - which allows only a radius of about 5 units to be at max sharpness beneath the aircraft.... and to tell the truth, no matter…

Has anyone has FS9 to crash in certain areas after installing UTUS and UTCA?

Hi all I'm looking at buying either Radar Contact or Pro Flight Emulator, just wondering if one is better than the other? I like the idea of the different voice sets in PFE but have heard that Radar Contact is easier to use. Would really appreciate your advice. Niall PS I've stopped using FSX on my core i5 @4.2 ghz, still too many stutters. FS9 runs like a dream and I love it :-)

Hey! I recently had an unexpected problem with the contrails in FS2004, and it still is. I was installing some AI packages of the MAIW series, and I stated that the contrails have changed in a complete unrealistic size. See the attached picture. I really don't know why, when or by which AI-package it happened. It must have happened by installing these MAIW packages, because before installing the packages it was all right! I've been trying to correct the contrails by re-installing the original fx-files, but I could not make any improvement anymore... Is there anybody who knows how to fix the contrails?

Is there an easy way to change the plane textures. I tried to read their manuels but could not get it. I want to use textures from Ardvark or TFS etc. I thought it would be as easy as decompiling their traffic file and change the aircraft titles to the ones with AIA or TFS then recompiling again but it does not work. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks

Maybe this should be under Scenery Design, but I was curious if anyone has ever seen any replacement autogen building sets? (Not just textures, I have those.) It seems to me there are way too many multistory office buildings out in suburban and rural areas. And almost no barns or one story industrial type buildings. Internet searches don't seem to come up with anything, so I'm throwing the question out the masses.

First, thanks for taking the time to open and read this. I'll keep it short. I have been adding scenery, aircraft, panels etc. etc to FS9 for some ten years now and have a really beautiful setup. The one thing that is missing, sorely missing, is that AI aircraft taking off and landing do so in awful silence. When I ran FS9 in Windows XP, FSHotSFX supplied all these sounds, and did so brilliantly. Sadly, that programme is no longer developed (or even supported) and will not run (despite my best efforts) in Windows 7 (x64). I have asked a couple of well-known producers of FS software if they would be interested in filling the gap: they aren't. At least not for FS9 (and I ha…

Does anyone know how to make them move?

Have the Veneaviones Turbo Commander 690B. CH usb yoke. Fly's very well except... On take off, full power, the aircraft lifts early and wants to go vertical. Gets to 280 KTS very quick. If throttle to 1/2 is better, but at about 200 ft. wanats to go vertical. 1/4 to 1/3 throttle, can get it up reasonably but still have to pitch down. Not a programmer but have read items that seem to say changes in the air.cfg can alter this kind of problem. True? Have no idea what to change. Welcome any tutorial or suggestions.

Very intrigued by the reviews regarding FSGRW. I've been using AS 6.5 with REX textures for quite a while. I know with AS 6.5 I am able to select a tab which essentially injects GE Pro textures over UT within FS9; does FSGRW have a similar function? Also, can it be used with FSBuild? Appreciate comments in advance. Thanks. Rich Perry

I had a lot of win xp updates, and after when I load the 767 it CTD.I tried to restore no good I tried to reinstall everything(what a MAJOR PITA!) ng I tried updates ng.I wont fly with out it so I am SOL:-(The error says its a DLL for the level d, but I cant find the problem.Has anyone had this happen?

Hi guys, This AN-2 is a very well made aircraft which includes a beautiful Russian panel and a lot of other goodies. However, getting the engine to start seems impossible. You hear the starter motor doing it's work but then ....... silence. At the end of the supplied manual it says that more than 30% of throttle is necessary but this has no effect at all nor do prop pitch, fuel mixture settings or any combinations thereof. Even when selecting the default Cessna, getting that running first and then selecting back to the AN-2, causes the AN-2's engine to die immediately. In all my many years of experience with FS9, this very specific problem has me stumped. Ideas…

I got this back in winter but I can't enjoy it. The airport looks great but I'm getting bad performance. Taxiing or flying around the airport gives me serious fps hiccups. On average, every 5 seconds or so, the fps would drop for a split second. It happens when I taxi or fly around the airport, especially when the airport comes into view. It's really annoying. It happens on Aerosoft Rome as well when I'm flying over the airport. I know it's not my PC or anything because I have other sceneries that are much more complex and they run silky smooth.

I've decided to bite the bullet and upgrade to Win 7 64 bit. What's the recommended way to upgrade the OS and reinstall FS9? Any difference between Win 7 64 professional and home? What is the preferred Win 7 version? Is there a FS9/Win 7 tweak guide? Appreciate comments in advance.

I had Editvoicepack before in the past, but honestly I dont remember what NET Framework I used to make it work, now I tried all I can find of them Framewroks, the version it askes for 1.1.4322, but also the new 4.5 version, but none of these seem to work, should I install them somewhere specificly, or is it another Framework I need ? Maybe someone can give me a link ?
