The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

Browsing the iFly forum yesterday I was introduced to and fascinated by this relatively new technolgy. Thanks to one erase the following link was provided:- http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=fsraas11.zip&CatID=root&Go=Search I commend all heavy simmers research this, download and run Dongjin Shin's brilliant program which, although free, is FAR more worthy than recently released payware. Blue skies. :Just Kidding:

Hello, I have recently downgraded from FSX To FS9, And I am receiving EXTREMELY Low FPS On addon aircraft. I understand FS9 Does not take advantage of multi cores. For Example, On the Ifly 737, And REX on minimum, I get 5-10FPS In The VC, Exterior 10 to 20, 2D, 10 to 15? My specs are I7-2630QM 2GHZ Boost 2.9GHZ [Enabled turbo boost with FS9] GT525M 1.6GB [Overclocked while FS9 Is on] 6GB Ram I also Use Game Booster 3.0 I have a friend who has a weaker system than me, And he gets 25FPS In the Ifly VC With aerosoft airports and REX Maxed. Any Ideas? I dont see a point on going to FS9, If I get higher FPS In FSX :/[With addons] On default, 20FPS …

Maybe one of you guys can give me an idea that will help me fix an issue with KONT2012. The night lighting for the main, FedEx and UPS ramps does not display correctly. All I get are huge bright white and gray blocks with (barely) visible gate markings. All other night lighting appears normal in this and all other sceneries. Tried the following without success: 1. Completely removed previous scenery and did not find any duplicate AFCAD or any other files that may be related to KONT. 2. Tried a half dozen of different graphic drivers. Have an ATI 5850 graphic card. 3. Disabled all addon scenery and tested for conflicts. Does anybody know any adjustments in the …

Does anyone know if Jim Vile's AFCAD for KATL is available anywhere? It used to be in the library and it no longer is. thanks

Is there any freeware to improve the really overlarge and overly bright unrealistic taxi light beams for AI planes at night? And what is the file name that causes this? Is it the halo?

One consistent theme on here is how FS9 has been radically improved over the years and now far surpasses anything we would have considered possible all those years ago when it was first released. I have been wondering if there might be someone who would be willing to do an upgrade of the autogen objects? (Payware or freeware).. It seems to me that with newer techniques we can now have beautifully rendered objects that have insignificant performance penalties. With addons like REX and GE Pro etc we have a radically improved visual presentation - but with the same old clunky "default objects" littering the landscape... I have no idea how difficult it would be, but …

I'm currently in the process of reinstalling FS9, and now with the PSS airbus the display windows for the FCU, where you enter heading/speed/altitude, are blank, in both the 2d and vc panels. All the other gauges and displays work fine, and it's as if some font is missing. Does anyone have any ideas? This happens with both the a340/a330 and with the A320 series. thanks

Hi! Good morning: Recently I experienced for the first time some problems concerning base default scenery, as follows: 1 - default scenery area around Venice (LIPZ) is not correct,,,coast profile shows a sort of "geometrical squares"...there is ground where it should be water... 2- default scenery area around Madrid (LEMD) collapsed... airport area only has a corerct altitude. all around 0 feet !!! I really can't understand. Thanks for helping. Bye Giorgio Ribotta Italy

So the Shockwave Lights addon...i uninstalled this small addon and found that default aircraft had various lights missing...all the lights on the Bell Helicopter apart from the nose light were missing including the cockpit light, also the cessnas wing lights were all missing....whats happened?!

Hi, I have been searching around in forums, but I have not been able to find answers to my specific question, so, I will give it a try here :-) I have a 2d view on five monitors in FS9 in order to cover both pilot and co-pilot seat in my home-made simulation, using Eyefinity. However, this will give a quite big "crabbing effect" since the center view is actually on the center screen in the view, which is located between the pilot and the co-pilot seat, making procedures such as visual landings very hard, and gives a unrealistic feeling. For that, I would like to set up a solution, where the centre of the view can be set on two points. One for the second scree…

Hello! I am dealing with a rather annoying problem in FS9. My Level Of Deatail radius (I believe it's called) is soooo loooow. First, take a look at these pics: As you see in this pic, my ground textures are completely messed up... And in the left corner, the REX water has stopped loading More crappy resolution textures Here is probably the worst one. 1400ft and the runway textures hasn't even loaded yet?! And the ground textures in front of the plane are just messed up. I have ALL sliders at max in the FS9 settings, I believe that should make a little bit better than this? Does anyone know what's wrong? Regards,

Maybe someone can assist ? :unknw: I'm trying to solve the mesh issue around this airport. Fs2004, I'm using FSglobal 2010 with the HSP scenery.

Hi, I recently downloaded a freeware addon scenery for the City of Kuala Lumpur. However, some of the landmark buildnings from the default scenery is still there, leaving duplicates of e.g. the Petronas Towers. I wonder, if possible, how do I remove these "old" versions? Kind regards, Johan

Hi, Everyone! As the title suggest I'm having problems with the ground service module for the sd yak-40. It will not allow me to load/unload passengers or fuel everything is grayed out except for "External Electrical Power". Below is a screenshot so you can better understand my problem. (warning large image) http://hostthenpost....363f3267556.jpg Has anyone had this problem before or know how to fix it? Thanks, Ryan

I have the FRF-KPBIv2 scenery installed, but it would be real nice to have a nice Palm Beach Int' Airport of the quality of FlyTampa or FSDreamteam standards. Is there any KPBI in the works by any of the big time developers? I think it would be nice to finally have KPBI properly represented (esp now that we have an updated KMIA and FSDreamteam's KFLL).

Friends, just a moment ago I left FS9 on pause:- Feelthere EMB175, LOT livery at EPKK (Krakow) by Drzewiecki Design utilising the new EPKK AES texture set for ground support vehicles. Sheer bliss!!

Hello all, Just when I thought I've seen most of the FS9 problems imaginable over the last 8 years. Here's another that I've noticed today that has me puzzled. In my assorted default and some freeware sceneries, I've noticed that default vehicles such as pushback tugs and baggage carts are now missing at every airport I've previously seen them at. Having just noticed this at KCOS today, I can't really speculate how long this has been for (otherwise I'd just do a system restore or change any recent settings). Anyone have any idea what bgl or other files may pertain to default ground vehicles? Thanks!

Hi Folks. Please see attached image. Does anybody know why or how to remedy the problem shown here. As can be see my HSI and compass align to gether (160'), ok, but the GPS is showing 58'. This makes following the track when A/P is set to NAV, impossible. Hopefully someone knows what's wrong here. Thanks John

Hi, Having a strange problem with the new Latin VFR KMIA. All of my AI that are parked at the F terminal and some at the G terminal are disappearing after receiving their IFR clearance from ATC (i.e. not pushing back or anything, just vanishing) Any ideas about what could be the culprit? Thanks J.C.

Hi, I just installed FSGlobal 2010 and wondering how it should be layered. According to the FSGlobal website, it should have the highest priority, like I always thought mesh should have the lowest priority in FS2004 scenery.cfg, just above the default terrain entry. Can someone confirm the above picture is correct? Egbert

Hi I was just wondering if anyone is using Taxi2Gate's version of KSTL in FS9? I currently have a freeware version of this airport but was considering updating it to this recently released payware, but it is expensive and I am not sure whether it is worth the price, quality-wise. Any feedback on this product would be appreciated as, thus far, I cannot find any reviews on SimMarket or elsewhere to help me make a decision. Bill

Hello All Last night I tried to create a flightplan from KFRG to KPBI using the 'Calculate auto route' option in FSNav,I selected the 'Low altitude' airways option,but this resulted in a lock up ,with no plan being generated and eventually forcing me to shut down FS and start again.On my second attempt I again tried the same flight but tried the 'High alt 'airways option but with the same result lock up and restart.At this point I gave up and selected a new flight and created its plan with no further problems. .This has happened to me on a couple of occasions (cant remember the other flights details , something like KMIA-to somwhere in Latin America. To be fair to FS…

I was watching the progress of a very nice looking scenery of Palermo Punta Rasi airport by Thomas Lo Gerfo at FSDeveloper: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=28633Some time ago Thomas released his scenery for FSX. He promised to consider an FS9 version but, seemingly, found no time for it.And to my surprise I found the FS9 version today in the AVSIM file library (licj-2012.zip). Francesco Salsano adopted the scenery for FS9.Nice landings on Sicilly! B)Off to request AES support for this little gem.
