The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

Howdy! Hope everyone had a good Memorial Day weekend! Does anyone out there in the FS world know if there ever was a fix for the KBT F/A-18 E & F Super Hornet with regards to the missing engine intake textures? I'd sure like to see those GE F-414's show up when you look at the Bug from the front! Thanks for looking...

The colours seem to correspond with what I have chosen for inland (the brown) water and ocean (blue) textures in REX, but REX isn't creating the waterclass as far as I know, just providing bitmaps. Ideas welcome: this looks very odd! I have never seen anything like it before - it's not like the squares/rectangles of landclass that you occasionally get in the sea. I guess the effect may be trying to replicate the river water flowing into the ocean, but that rectangle's not right! The screenshot is about 15 miles due north of LFRD... has anybody else got something odd at these co-ordinates? Thanks, Martin

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I was wondering if anyone is aware of an ai package (or even just flightplans and accompanying models/repaints for the dassault falcon jets. The bbj's, gulfstreams, bombardiers, cessnas etc are all covered but I can't seem to find anything similar for the falcons. Regards

Hey everybody, I'm just an 11-old kid but I love fs9 and I wish to make scenery in gmax or fsds ( I have them both). If you have some time to explane me this, I would be very happy to know something harder that afcad..

Something I've noticed for a while now. I find that the pilot's head position is slightly to the right. Is it the same for you guys too? What I mean is, when I look straight down in the VC, the pilot's head is not perfectly centered with the yoke. It's slightly to the right. I checked out some youtube vidoes of people flying in the VC and I've seen some where it's centered and some slightly right like mine. Weird....

Let's face it, after you've tweaked and twiddled for ages, your FS2004 installation still doesn't do self-shadowing or reflections. But this needn't spoil all the fun, a large part of the entertainment is impressing your friends with screenshots of your amazing setup! Enter Sqirlz: http://www.xiberpix.net/SqirlzReflect.html Many will know it, but I thought I may mention it again, perhaps this will renew interest and get some more FS9 shots in the screenshots forum. . Here's a plain vanilla one - the temptation is always strong to overdo these things though. Sqirlz won't add self-shadowing, but can provide some fun trying out all those reflective effect…

Hi everyone, I re-installed a fresh copy of FS9 after around a year and started filling it with my usual addons. I've got most of my things set up so today I decided to test the sim out and immediately noticed a very annoying problem. I downloaded POSKY's 737NG as well as Emil Serafino's soundpack to go with it. While the aircraft and everything associated with it work fine, the engine sound is crackling. I don't remember ever having this issue in FS9 before so I'm rather stumped. I've added the advanced sound settings to the FS9.cfg file but it seems like that's not doing anything. Unfortunately, as far as aircraft are concerned, I have none installed yet other than tha…

Hi! I have a problem with my FS9 textures and as I don't know if it is a video card or sim problem i post this in both this and the hardware forum. When I start at an airport I get normal texture images, but it pops into blurred repeatedly and I have to refresh scenery. I checked my setup and the NVIDIA Inspector, but settings seem OK. I have a Gigabyte NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 650 Ti card and the PC is absolutely adequate; Intel 3.4 GHZ, enough memory, etc. I am sure it must be a setting somewhere which causes this. Any idea how to fix this problem? Grateful for any tips. Thanks! Hans Hermansson Sweden

Did anyone notice a touchdown lag when there is smoke coming from the landing gear. A bried 1-2 second mini lag. I have a feeling that the smoke effect is causing that lag. Thanks. P.S. How do you remove the smoke effect. Thanks

Hi folks, not sure whether this should be in the hardware section, but seems to be FS9 specific. I recently threw out my old classic CRT monitor and replaced it by a flat screen (HP L2105tm). Ever since, I am getting trapezoid shaped "thunderbolds" flashing across my FS screen as can be seen in the pictures below. They just come up for the fraction of a second, but constantly. Graphics card is a Radeon X1950. Any idea what is going on? Best, Holger

Can any one please help with the following call signs izmir and air italy can`t seem to find these any where. Thanks john

Hello, Just purchased and installed ImagineSim's KCLT. Downloaded and installed the updated afcad also. However, I noticed that the default taxisigns and a few of the default buildings are showing up. I checked and there doesn't seem to be any duplicate afcads. Any idea of the source of this problem? Thanks for any assistance. J.C. (MYNN)

I have lost my WX radar depiction in my Feelthere/Wilco E-jets 170-195 after I made a change in REX Clouds. I cannot reload previous cloud set to chk because I don't recall what they were, any possible ideas as to a fix? I am only guessing that this was the cause. Thank you

Hi. I struggling with my Saitek pro yoke. The Saitek keep shutting down because of low amount of power from my usb. I done the step from the the support page, but no success. Then connected it to my laptop and it works fine. the yoke works for like 10 to 20 min and stop responding to my commands.. So Im think of getting a USB Y cable. Which have 2 male end's and 1 female end's. Do you think this might work or must I buy like a new usb hardware that I must put into my motherboard? Thank you - Saitek work for 10 min and then no respons after - do work on laptop - both pc's runs on Win 7 64- bit - Did try Saitek methrored.

Hi. For the past two years I have been away from Flight Simulation. I am now just getting back in to it and I have found an interesting problem. I have the PMDG 747 and MD-11 aircraft. In addition I also have the Level-D 767 package. When I load the models into the simulator they load perfectly. When I attempt to call their option programs for the FS9 Menu Bar I receive a black screen and I am unable to recall the FS9 operating program. I can recover only by using the control Alt Delete command of Windows. In addition to the aircraft models, when I select the Modules/FSUIPC option from the menu bar it also causes the same failure. My computers operating system…

Due to a hard drive crash iv`e lost many files including the tool for converting textures from 32bit to dxt can anyone help i need to find it again.

I've got the amazing KPDX (Portland) scenery/airfield from FZ, but I've been getting routine (every flight now) CTDs approximately 18-20nm miles out. I've read posts referencing similar issues and the recommendation is to put the KPDX scenery/landclass number 1 priority in scenery settings within FS9. The only thing I've got above it is AES. I've even experimented with putting it above AES and I still get the CTDs. When I look in scenery.cfg, I noticed that the FZ scenery/landclass is area 144/145 and layer 153/154 resepectively. How can it occupy a #1 priority in FS9 settings but be way down at the bottom within scenery.cfg? Should I put it higher (lower are…

Hi, I have a 7 years old PC, and till 8 days ago FS2004 was between 24 and 70 FPS (set to unlimited). Everything was fine. But in the last 3 days, the FPS is between 7 and 20! I haven't changed anything. There was a Windows update (I have Win XP, SP3) as usual, and a new iTunes version. That's it. I don't have McAffee as AV. The FPS are now about 2.5 lower than 8 days ago and before. It is all the time: no change if the GPS is on or off. What I can see is that there is a slight delay when clicking buttons: they move ~1/3 of a second after I click them. I ran my AV, and all is fine. I haven't found any new processes in Task manager. I recre…

First off, I hope this isn't in the wrong forum. I am currently running FS9 with a Q6600 @3.5 and a Zotac 9800GTX card. I'm thinking of upgrading to a GTX650. I don't intend to go for FSX, but I do run other games. As the subject line says....? Thanks in advance.

Please help,iv`e downloaded this scenery and it looks good except for missing textures,has any one had the same and found the solution? Iv`e tried numerous textures but still the grey blocks,see attached Pic. Thanks in anticipation John.

I shall definitely buy this one. Anyone else?

Hello all, just reinstalled the trusty Level-D 767 after a fairly long time. Much to my dismay, I now get black screens after selecting the Level-D menu in the simulator (full-window mode) but also FS' own menus (for instance, load&fuel). I did a quick search and it seems that quite a few others have had this issue as well, and a common solution was to turn down the resolution. I did that and guess what, it works flawlessy! But of course, I am not hell-bent on keeping the resolution lower than possible... :mellow: Previous PC max. res was 1440x900x32 (´76 working fine) and now I can enjoy FS on 1920x1080x32 (´76 not working well). I am using, just like before, Win…

I recently removed George Grimshaw's KBOS scenery (had it for my 90's flying) to make room for my new scenery Im creating for Calclassic, KBOS 1959, the only issue is that the jetways are still there and I have no idea what BGL is keeping there. Any help?

There is now a new addition to DM's VC10. The external refuelling panel. So now you can refuel the a/c in real time and in exactly the same way it is performed in real life. Goto update no.6 http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=New+Vickers+VC10+panel&CatID=root&Go=Search
