The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

I have two questions related to AI aircraft. 1. Does using the same aircraft in more than one traffic file at the same time cause any problems within FS9? 2. I have a few flyable aircraft that I've converted to AI. I've tweaked them to give good FPS etc. Just one problem. One or two of them seemingly randomly tilt backward on the ground so they are taxying with their tail on the ground. That would be fine if they were tail draggers, but they're not! LOL They typically start out okay, and when they park they go back to a normal position. Taking off and landing isn't an issue either. It just seems to happen when they are taxying... Anybody know how I could fix this…

HI Folks. I have a Handley Page Halifax Bomber installed on my FS9, but it will not fly straight and level. The port wing always drops and hence the aircraft rolls to the left. This makes landing really difficult as when the yoke is level the plane starts rolling left, making line-up with the runway really difficult. Is there anyway of 'tweaking' the aircraft .cfg to remedy this, or any other way to remedy the problem for that matter. Unfortunately the aircraft does not have any rudder trim controls etc. Cheers John

I feel its time I invested in some new products for my FS9 (subject to Christmas presents for people being sourced cheaply!). I am interested in buying the new Dubai scenery from Flytampa as it looks incredible, but also fancied a new aircraft. The most complex aircraft I have used in flight sim is the Project Airbus A380 or CLS A330/340! I once had a go on my friends PMDG 747 and couldnt even start the engines without a youtube tutorial, when I did I had all sorts of alarms going off when I took off! With this in mind, how complex is the Qualitywings 757? Does one need a degree in FMC's to use it or is it quite straightforward once you get the hang of it, I'd…

I recently added a 2nd monitor to my FS machine. I wanted to be able to un-dock and drag the GPS and other windows over to the 2nd monitor. Everything works fine until I create a 2nd view. I like to have the "top-down" view so I can see where I'm going while taxiing around an airport. When I open this 2nd window and then un-dock it, drag it to my 2nd monitor strange things will happen. I'm thinking it might have to do with too much work for my graphics card but not sure. Hopefully someone will have tips/suggestions. When I open this top-down view and drag it to the 2nd monitor textures will flash, bounce....I'm not 100% how to describe it. If I'm sitting at the G…

I’ve been on a worldwide scenery binge lately and I’m loving my QW146 too but I’ve found that it’s just a bit short on range for some of the flights I’d like to make in it. So, is there anything that a fairly novice tweaker like me can change to extend the range of the aircraft, ideally by roughly a quarter extra, without messing up anything else in the plane. I noticed in the cfg there’s an entry for “fuel_flow_scalar=1.65” which looks like it might be the thing but I’m not sure if the value needs increasing or decreasing or if that’s even the right value to touch so thought I’d ask for a little help first. Also worth noting, I generally fly by hand, autopilot and GPS s…

After exploring (but not flying) MS9's default 208 Caravan I later noticed that my prop and mixture levers were not working anymore. My other switch assignments had also vanished. I reloaded everything and calibrated it on the CH control Manager and also checked the FS9 calibration chart which looked good. However I noticed on the CH Control Manager that whereas the U and V channels showed accurate activity on their calibration bar charts the U lever RAW DATA was showing up on the "V" RAW DATA CHART and the V lever RAW DATA was showing up on the "U" RAW DATA CHART . I just now noticed in my VC display that the mixture lever is moving the rudder pedals back and …

Can someone help me find the Project Airbus 380 VC (Virtual Cockpit) I found something here on AVISM Library but not to sure how to get it installed Someone posted this link as the source link to get the VC but seems to be dead http://www.pairbus.c...php?f=10&t=1568 1.} I got he Airbus 380 Base-pack from here http://www.pafs.wf/downloads 2.} And i already have the Airbus 380 with this livery http://library.avsim...s2004&Go=Search How do i merge the VC? I remember about a year ago i had it but forgot what idid to merge it into the model, Or if you know where i can find one with the vc already mearged

Hi Anyone knows how to increase reverse thrust and reduce space landing, by modifying the file .air? Thanks Matth

Hello simmers, I recently got great Southwest Airlines textures for my POSKY 737-700, even the winglets were correct. However, one detail I noticed was not included was the radar pod. Most of Southwest's -700's have radar pods on the top, and I was wondering if anyone knew how to included this. I have a WestJet 737-700 with the radar pod, and i've tried applying SWA textures to that model, but the radar pod wasn't textured, or placed in the correct spot. Does anybody know how to do this? This is a real picture of the radar pod I took at Minneapolis-St. Paul Intl at the Humphrey Terminal. This is another picture in which you will see the radar pod on both 73…

A few weeks back several of us discussed the merits of working together as groups to produce some projects that would continue to breathe new life into FS9. I have a suggestion... Would some of you be interested in working with me to put together some Retro military AI packages using some of the outstanding new models that have been released over the past few weeks? Examples have included the EE Lightning and Canberra, Mirage III, A4 Skyhawk, Hawker Hunter, Mig 21 and numerous others. All have been done by developers and painters who are committed FS9 people and if there's sufficient interest, there's every likelihood they will continue to release new models and paint…

Hello fellow flyers! This is my first time that I write here. Here´s my problem: few weeks ago i bought a new computer, Acer x3475, Windows 7/64, 12 Gb memory and Amd radeon 7660+7470 graphics card. I fought that my new powerful computer will run Fs2004 without any issues. But now I am very dissapointed and frustrated with the clouds. In a heavy weather, my clouds will bring my rig to it´s knees. No matter which cloud set i use, the result is the same. I have searched the result but no luck so far. I heard yesterday about some Bojote´s Shader 3.0 thing which might help with amd cards. Can it be used with Fs2004??. I think that the problem has something to do with the co…

Does anyone have this addon? If so, how would you rate it? I'm very tempted to buy it (on sale right now) but I have never seen any reviews or comments about their sceneries, though I do notice that this one has AES support which is usually a good sign. Thanks Ian

:help: Hi Folks i`m thinking of getting the Cyborg F.L.Y 5 but also switching to Windows 7 64 bit, the thing is will the joystick work on both XP and 7 64bit? Has anyone been there? :rolleyes:

Hi guy's I had to reinstall voz1.8 and all the updates. For some reason i only have the default bridges instead of the gateway and the story bridge and a couple other it been a little while since i have flown in fs9 lately,i was on approach to 01 ybbn when i notice no gateway but the defalt ms bridge in it place. I guess that there is other bridges in the voz scenery that have the defalt bridges back in there instead of the voz scenery Guy's if you know of other bridges that are not defalt ms bridges but should be voz stuff let me know so i can check to see if it only happening in brizzie. Just one thing it looks like all the godies like mcg gabba and so on are all th…

Hi, I recently brought fs9 and installed it on my laptop. I then went to: http://www.whatismyscreenresolution.com/ and it told me that my screen res was 1366 x 768. I then selected 1366 x 768 x 32 on flight simulator and the UI turns into a really small box centered in the middle of the screen with a big black border around it. Thanks for any help, Marcus

Hello simmers, So as I was buzzing around New York in the Bell JetRanger, and noticed that there is NO Hudson River! This means NY Island was attached to the mainland, which just looks wrong!! Is there a way to solve without reinstalling my flight sim? Here you will see the square shape where the river should be, and the pylons that should be floating for the Red Bull Air Race. As we zoom out, you can see where the river should be. And as we zoom out even more, you can see that New York Island is attached to the mainland. Thanks

Hi guys, Is there an add on panel I can buy that will automatically calculate my V speeds and approach speeds? I just got the A300/310/Beluga add on from CLS and it's an F-Lite model. I have other F-Lite models but this one is a little too "lite". There is no working FMC, so I can't get my speeds. Been doing my Vr between 140-150 knots and approach at around 160. Just treating it like a default plane at the moment.

Hi I am looking for textures for the Dreamwings F-50 in Air Iceland ( Flugfelag Islands ) and new Skyways colours. Apparantly textures seem to be available : http://forum.flightm...D=287&pageNo=84 http://www.vfr-fligh...opic.php?p=7210 I just can't find them on any of the usual FS sites ( and links on the 2 webpages are dead ). Is there anybody who knows where to find these textures - or can email them to me if you have them ? Regards Rene

Hi there. I am using GE Pro, Ultimate terrain, REX, fs genesis mesh, Zinertek night environment. Now, when flying at night, my textures are blurry. Textures near my aircraft load up faster, which is obvious to me, but the ones further away don't and are not as "crisp" as the nearby ones. Is this because my computer is having to take time to load up the textures? Is there any setting i can use to minimize the time required to load the textures or do i have to change GE Pro or Ultimate terrain or something? 2 images: EXAMPLE 1: http://postimage.org/image/4lgbhju3z/ EXAMPLE 2: http://postimage.org/image/6y26vqpoh/ This happens during the daytime too. Not just a…

I am currently running Zinertek Night environment, GE Pro night textures and Ultimate Terrain night lights. Is it best to use all 3 at once? Is there a specific order to update the textures and such, such as installing the Ultimate terrain textures then GE Pro. I understand that it doesn't matter the order they are installed for use in flight sim (i.e. you can click the icon, load up what you want applied to fs, you know what i mean...?), but applying them, does it make a difference? GE Pro and Ultimate terrain it doesn't matter in the order they're installed, but does it matter when Zinertek is installed? Because fs upgrades when you install Zinertek, not like GE Pro and…

I do like using the Wilco/Feelthere ERJ, but night flying is not so great as the panel light textures are bound to the landing lights. There is a panel lights switch, but the overhead panels lights only turn off and on with the landing lights. Is anybody aware of a fix?

Hello simmers, Has anybody been able to make/acquire winglet textures for the Southwest Airlines 737-700 by Project Opensky? I recently flew Southwest, KAUS (Austin-Bergstrom Intl)-KDEN (Denver Intl)-KMSP (Minneapolis-St. Paul Intl), and I was lucky enough to get a window seat right on the wing. I took some great pictures, and I decided to recreate this flight on my FS2004/FS9. I already had wing views installed, and as I was taking off from Austin-Bergstrom, I looked out my window, and realized that my winglets were just generic blue, red, and gold. THIS MADE ME VERY ANGRY!!! Could somebody please tell me where I could find winglet textures for the Project OpenSk…

OK I am just learning how to use the FMC, I have gotten as far as programming it understanding the difference between LNAV and VNAV so here we go. I decided to give it a shot I programmed the FMC I took off With LNAV ON once the wheels where airborn i engaged the vNAV to control the climb, then the plane stalled I took over and recovered the stall just about 4000 feet up in the air I've decided to engage the VNAV once again the plane started climbing on its own, so everything started working smothly and the LVNAV was doing its job in directing the plane to its destination and the VNAV was controlling the speed and climb to the preset altitude i programed into the…

And Rob?

Hello I have removed all my light triangles from my AI but I am having serious trouble removing them from FAIB 737 series. Sometimes I am left with no Aircraft at all, anfd other anomlies, has any one got the mdl code to alter please? Regards Nic
