The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

Does anyone know if this will be a FS9 scenery or will it just be for FSX? I am still using the old Swedflight scenery for Copenhagen and want to upgrade. On Simmarket the Scansim scenery for Copenhagen is on sale for $6.46 (USD) (unitl Aug 31st). That is a awesome price but I'm not sure if I should wait for the Fly Tampa version and miss out on that good Scansim price.

I did download a file year or so ago which changed the behaviour of FS9 ATC, so that they no longer cancel your flight plan if you don't do exactly as they instruct, and which has eliminated the dreaded word 'expedite' from the sim entirely! But having got used to the joys of that not-so-little tweak, I am dissatisfied again! The thing that irritates me most now is just how often I am switched from one radio frequency to another in flight (you all know how it is!) - sometimes more than twice within the space of a single minute. It can be just absurd. I was waiting for Radar Contact 5, but after waiting years now (literally), I assume it will never happen. I don't want…

Hi Good People, After tons and tons of work - Edward Moore and I are pleased to announce that Parts 3 and 4 of the Ford India Project are now ready for you to download and enjoy. These two parts include many extra airfields all rendered to a 1930's era - far too many pictures to choose from to show what is in the new packs - so will leave it to you to check them out on the web page: http://www.ford-tri-motor.net/ford-india-project.htm This brings the project up to 30 historically rendered airfields completed and many more still in planning for developing. The Ford India Project has become a growing entity from the initial development of Pondicherry. We…

Hey mates, today I wanted to fly again the B748I but on a short test I recognized that the brakes are not working!!! Autobrake not working is a know bug afaik. But I'm needing nearly a full runway @ KSEA/EDDF/OMDB/... to get the plane to a normal vacating speed. After that brake temp is high and illuminated with "8". I'm using this merge version: http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?searchid=11124400 Someone knows how to fix this? It's not near to reality to need a full runway to vacate especially when flying online on IVAO.

I've copied this topic to this forum because on the "correct" one it hasn't even been read! So I thought it might get a bit more exposure here! I have recently installed the above video card into an XP sp2 environment. I began to have lots of blue screens which initially I put down to memory errors. There were so many that Windows itself crashed and had to be reinstalled. After the reinstallation it was clear that in the original installation Windows "lied" when it said it was installing drivers from the video card's disc. It was in fact installing its own. The driver in question being NV4_DISP.dll The reinstalltion corrected that malfunction In the Nvidia…

Revelstoke airport (CYRV) in British Columbia is apparently located at the bottom of a chasm in the Columbia River - which makes for tricky landings. Likewise, St Stephan airport (LSTS) situated at the bottom of a canyon in the Swiss Alps. These are just two which I came across by chance. No doubt there are others. Any suggestions?

I had to format my HD recently. When I went into WOAI installer and tried to install airlines it said that it already existed. So I went into expert mode and they appeared there. But they were not where they usually are. So once again I forgot how to install Airlines, I noticed that the path was not there, so I clicked on the path part located where my FS9 was installed proceeded to install airlines. They appeared in the Aircraft location as I remember from the last time. I started up FS9 went to a airport and there where no airlines I installed. The installer said that they were installed correctly. Does it take some time before they appear? I appreciate any and all res…

My apologies for this double post. Would our mod please delete this second one. Thanks.

Edetroit started it at the Burj... I finally got round to adding a few: For those interested, drop these into \Addon Scenery\scenery folder (Remove .txt suffix for unzipping)

Tried again !! Brian

HelloI was hoping that somebody would recognize this B737-400 panel and be able to provide a link where I can download it.It is not the Greg737 panel as this one has a pushback/taxi panel incorporated into the middle screen column.Any help would be much appreciatedregardsBrian Sorry but I had a problem uploading the image Brian

Hello all, I've had my FS9 crash to desktop twice in the last three flights I did. The other one went by fine. The bad news is that each CTD occurred during different phases of flight, flying different aircraft in different parts of the world. My FS installation is still pretty fresh, and I'm trying to keep it "slim" for reasons such as this... however, I have no idea where to start looking for the cause(s). I don't know if the CTDs at hand are caused by the same problem. The program seems therefore very unstable to me, so might want to reinstall everything from scratch. Any suggestions?

Hello I am a fan of the Meljet 747s (wish there were more repaints of these ,choice rather limited) and the 777 (of which there a good choice of paints) .My problem with the 777 is not one of flight ,it is one of taxi motion (sickness) .Obviously in attempt to add realism to the taxiing of a large aircraft ,it has this rather rolling wallowing motion on the ground (when turning). If you know about such things and are a fan of the M777 ,is this effect a realistic one? If it is I will leave it as it is ,if not then is there something in the aircraft CFG I can alter to either reduce or remove the drunkeness of the 777 ,or is it part of the model. Anyways Cheers An…

Hello all. I have just spent forever getting rid of the light triangles that are displayed on the ground in fog and at night on my current fleet of AI aircraft. Do these AI models display light triangles? I'd hate to go through all that work again LOL. Regards Nic Jackson

Hi all, For the last few months I've been trying to find a fix for a weather.dll error that's causing my sim to crash. It seems to happen right after takeoff or just after landing. I've tried everything I can think of, I've reinstalled the whole flight sim and only added one aircraft with nothing else and it still crashes. I'm completely lost at what to do, i'm hoping someone else here has had this issue and might know of a fix for it. I hope to hear back from someone. Thank you.

Hi! I've been searching for some good, large propliners to fly in FS9. However, I can't find much. I want something I can fly fast over long distances, preferably 4-engine. I want something with high quality panels and sounds, freeware or payware. Any suggestions?

Since about mid may I have been having numerous CTD's with FS9, and I always thought, because of the nature of the problem, it might have been AI traffic related, but I was left with no way of knowing how to fix it if it WAS an AI texture issue or something. So I went into the Windows Error Log and, with a little bit of knowledge of the assoicated DLLs and Exception Codes, went on a search for the issue. I found more than what I bargained for. A list of what I found (Faulting DLL and its corresponding exception code) DLL: InstantSceneryFS9.dll EC : 0xc0000005 This is a module I installed for my scenery building, but it appears, based on the exception code (0xc000000…

Morning all! Great news the FAIB Models for Airbus are at ''Branch of Manufacturing" at FAIB!

Just noticed something weird in the Poconos scenery ive put together my Cessna's static aircraft propellers separating from the plane pretty much jumps into place as i taxi by it, ive ruled it to be a common problem but maybe someone has a different opinion about this small displacement issue

I have changed the values in the aircraft.cfg to these: max_gross_weight=64500 empty_weight=37888 which gets rid of the over-weight message, but the a/c is still unflyable. The CoG, at least according to the FS9 menu (aircraft/fuel and loading .. or whatever the title is, I don't have FS9 open as I write this), is as far forward as it could go, at the propeller, and although I can take off OK, it's not long before the plane starts pitching up and down like a roller coaster. By 18,000' it is rocking between 2000ft/min up and 2000ft/min down! Does anyone have this aircraft in a good, flyable state? I'd be grateful if you could paste your [WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE] s…

Hi All So I have the great TDS 787 and I'm using the I-Fly 737-900er panel, (sorry all purists out there :rolleyes: ). Everything is great except the white wing strobe lights not working, all other strobe/beacon and nav lights are ok. I guess I need to import one of the light strings from the I-fly cfg but then make sure to reposition it correctly for the TDS 787 wing tip. Frankly I just dont know how to do this. Anyone out there with greater knowledge than I who would be kind enough to help me with this please. Thank you in advance and best regards. Malcolm "Rooster" Hancock

Hi Good People, The team over at the Ford Tri-Motor Project site have just released a big batch of FREE repaints for the Microsoft default de Havilland 88 Comet aircraft. See Picture below for a couple of examples. There are some very intesting repaints for this old girl within the batch available - many have been technically difficult due to the typical MS default mappings but I am sure that you will find some of them very enjoyable to fly. All for Free. You will find them at http://www.ford-tri-motor.net/de-havilland-88.htm The Ford Tri-Motor site advocates that AVSIM.com is one of the principle enviornments for Flight Simming and advertises/link…

Just ran into these grass textures for FS2004 and like to know peoples opinion are they a bit to much?

Ok here is what I've done and still not working properly Went to KPHL after the last step was completed Traffic Slider at 100% ai traffic working fine but the aircraft i added to the flight plan not showing up ive even went to KMCD to see if it would arrive waiting and waiting nothing. Hit Control w to switch between aircraft not one heading towards the new airport i edited. Is there another way i can add traffic to this airports without the headaches
