The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

Hi there, Is there a utility on the internet, that allows you to decompile the TrafficViewBoard Freeware Utility, TrafficViewBoard.dat File, to the respective Airlines.sdv and Airports.sdv Files ? There is a TrafficViewBoard.dat File from 2009, that I would like to make amendments to or add to, for the Airlines info in the Airlines.sdv File ? I have been unable to find such a utility. Any info and help would be much appreciated. Regards Eddie Winch

Hello! I have a problem in FS2004 and I would like someone to help me... When I choose any aircraft and shut down engines, the cockpit's gauges and lights turn off after some minutes.

Recently upgraded my desktop which is operating on Windows Xp 64bit. Reinstalled Fs9 plus add ons from pmdg went to install latest nav data but can’t get it to open and install. Anyone got any suggestions or know where to find the original nav data downloader software.

Hello everyone, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. Does anyone within this forum know how to program XML? I have HUD software that I have been using for several months in our simulator. It is a very nice hud that was donated to our community by Bob Kellogg. A package he encouraged us to "Feel free to modify". And I have been doing so for the past 6 months. My editing of the hud was to make it look more like an airliner hud rather than general aviation. I have succeeded in many ways. One I'm comfortable releasing back to the community. But first, I would love to integrate Dutch Owen's "Ice Gauge" into the hud. Both the hud and the ice gauge reference common XML "Elemen…

I picked up my flight simulator hobby after many years. My environment Windows 10 and FS9(fs2004). I am using youtube series of videos on flight planning especially on NDB : www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BsLcySHpmI&list=PLyC6aoYnRBZYsC3b92-dXXPuegigJHVpj&index=2. When replicating and using NDB frequency 397 flying from EHRD to EHEH the ADF indicator does not move at all. I am at correct altitude and nearby this NDB beacon. any idea ? ps. using NDB navigation anywhere in my FS9 Netherlands Country/Region does not work for me. rgds Ruud van Ruler

Hi all, First time forum user here. I've been having an issue for a while now. In fsuipc I uncheck the option use mouse wheel for trim but after a while during flight this seems to recheck itself so mid flight I have to open fsuipc and uncheck the option. Anyone know why this happens and if there is a more permanent fix?

Hello, is there any mod or any modification that can be made to make the triangles of the lights much smaller? I have installed the 3D Redux and modified the cfg of the plane but this neither does anything nor helps. In an intente search I saw that editing some mdl files could solve it but I have no idea how.

I want a A320 for the FS2004 and after read a lot of posts about this subject, the final conclusion I have is: there is no good A320 for FS9. All of them have serious problems: bugs, autopilot behaviour like a F16, unfinished features, etc... So, as most of the post I've read have several years, I would like to ask you if, after all the patch/service packs published during this time, does it worth to buy one of these options? + Feelthere/Wilco Airbus Series Vol 1 + Eric Marciano/Wilco Airbus Evolution Vol1 + Airsimmer A320 Basic Edition + PSS/BlackBox Airbus 320 Professional BTW I'm more interested in the simulation of the plane than the visu…

Help!! Is anyone else having problems with UT Alaska/Canada in FS2004 around Vancouver? I've been trying to fly smaller aircraft routes into the less populated airports/backcountry and FS2004 shuts down with an error once I get about 60 miles north/northwest of Vancouver. This was not an issue before I installed UT. Has anyone else seen this, or can provide me a fix? The scenery up there is beautiful and I'd love to continue using it. Hardware/software config as follows: Intel Core2 DUO 6GB RAM Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with SP1

Hello, I recently purchased the 757 QualityWings , but I have a question, the FMC will not let me upload my flight plan which I do via PFPX, do you know how I can upload a flight plan directly to the FMC, as is done with PMDG or LEVEL-D?

Hello people. I've been modeling something quite unique in Sketchup for almost a year, and after I finished it now (it's really time to release it now ) I've been trying to convert it to FS2004 but no knowledge on this part at all. I would like to ask some of you to help me or teach me how to do it, I am free and ready to learn. Credits will be given when this extraordinary and unique scenery is finished and given for download.

Hello everybody I'm one of the last who still fly with FS2004, I've searched a lot around to find and old patch for the "ground friction" but i can't find it anymore. It was a modification of the Sim1.Dll Can somebody help me? With this patch I'll be able to perform a "one engine taxi"? Thank you!

Hello all I face a problem with my throttle (Thrustmaster Top Gun Afterburner II) settings. It seems that although all other features of my HOTAS joystick work perfectly right, my throttle does not. When in autopilot, it executes perfectly the AutoThrottle commands. When in manual mode, it can never idle to the lower level. It functions like I push it up all the time. The result is that when on ground, I hear the too much power horn and when on approach, I can never idle down in flare etc.... I have tried to calibrate all the possible ways. I have cleaned it inside... No result. Like something is pushing the throttle ahead even if i want to do the opposite... Funny t…

I am having trouble importing VCPMOD files for a Military AI Works for Kingsville NAS not all the files are being imported and I can't figure out why?

Hello all, Been a long time since I posted here but I come with a request/inquiry. I have seen and heard much about the old BirdsEyeView products that used to exist on the web, and I would love to try them as well we showcase them on my Youtube channel which will be dedicated to old Flight Simulators and add-ons in video-essay format. However, I cannot find them anywhere on the web. Even the web archive turns up nothing for every avenue I can pursue. I saw posted somewhere that the whole package was posted for download at some point, but that link is long dead and gone. Could anyone that has perhaps archived this old add-on provide it to me or point me…

Is there an add-on or program that allows to use the mouse as a joystick in FS2004? I've tried some, but found that they are not compatible with my OS (Win 7) Eduardo Holanda

I re-installed 9Dragons V2 Kai Tak on a new hard drive. It works Ok but I have land squares where there should be water although the islands appear surrounded by water within the land squares. I've re-installed twice but with the same problem. I installed Version 1 but that too gives the same presentation. It must be something wrong with my FS9 installation on Win7 64bit but everything else is Ok. All ideas and suggestions welcomed, please. Colin B

I have downloaded it but ca't figure out where to install or find out how it works!

Dear learned forum members, I'm wondering if anyone could help me with an issue that I have with the throttles in FS9. I use a CH throttle quadrant, and I've recently found that when I move the throttles to the full thrust position, it is not possible to get full thrust on any aircraft - I get only 78% at best and the levers in the sim don't go to the full thrust position.. In order to get full thrust, I have to press F4. In addition, the only way to get ground idle is to keep pressing F1 until the levers in the flight sim move the correct position. I've tried using the calibrations within FSUIPC but that doesn't solve the problem. Any ideas on how …

The Wilco A321 addon is far superior to any other Airbus addon today, including the FSL A-321 SL. Wilco study level Airbus 321 has a nearly functional management system of the SID/STAR procedures. A new alert has been implemented to display a warning if the speed brakes are deployed while the engines are providing thrust. The target climb or descent altitude is shown on the route with a blue arrow and its position is updated in real time! Please, see the added link below. https://www.wilcopub.com/simulator-add-on/airbus-series-evolution-vol-1.html
