I have recently installed World of AI, and am very pleased with the way this has livened up my airports and made them more realistic. However I have come across some strange behavioural issues: 1. A few days ago I was taxiing behind a queue of aircraft to take off from London Gatwick. For some reason the first aircraft lined up on the runway but didn't take off. The aircraft behind it also lined up, but didn't take off either. I soon had around 4-5 aircraft all superimposed on top of each other lined up on the runway, but none would take off. So I had to turn my aircraft around and line up via a taxiway further down the runway so that I could take off. 2. Yesterda…

April is turning into a very very busy month at the dedicated Ford Tri-Motor Web Site. April is not yet half expired and the following NEW items have become available at the site. I have used only thumbnails to represent the different aspects - feel free to check out the full images on the site. Firstly the big launch of the Historical Ford Factory Scenery Circa 1930's - a massive project with many unique models created specifically for the project - most of them done by Sidney Schwartz. This project is the culmination of many hundreds of development hours. Also included a batch of American AI traffic transiting between Ford Factory and CYKF. But wait - th…

Is anyone aware of any merges for the Overland Simmersky panel and Project Airbus A318-320. Afew things arent working when trying to use the Overland panel with the PA320 model, for example the door interface. and Can the Overland Virtual Cockpits be used on the Project Airbus A319,320?

Okay someone in the controller got ###### when I was flying online, my bad, thought I knew a bit about VOR but I don't know s**t.. well my question is, how do we know when we are drifted by wind when flying with VOR navigation, which indicator (needle) tells me that I have to make a heading correction due to crosswind? I haven't had a chance to re-read the basic manual. Thanx

First of all many thanks to all who have downloaded my panel updates. I hope that you find it a more immersive experience being closer to reality! Also if you have any suggestions for improvement let me know. Two bmp files from the nav-Info suite decided to go on holiday and missed the boat. So I have had to add a small extra download see here:- http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=new+vc10+panel&CatID=root&Go=Search Apologies for the oversight vololiberista

Even all: Need some support for FSBuild please as I am unable to post on their website. Issue is with "Inserting" waypoints in plan mode. If I want to build a flight plan from KSFO-KLAX via OSI, AVL, RZS and use "Insert" (right clicking on the waypoint), FSBuild always puts the last selected waypoint first. So the flight plan lands up being KSFO-RZS-AVL-OSI-KLAX. Any advice or settings to correct this backwards inserting issue would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi I have the following environments for FS 2004 FS Global, Flight Environment, Ground Environment, Ultimate Terrain Europe, and REX I am not sure which one to install or should I install all? If I need to install all then which order? What the implications of being overwritten? Please help! Thanks

Forget all the cfg. tweaks this program is brilliant. Works with fs9 and fsx and improves both simulators instantly, so smooth! why have I not heard about it before?

Hi, trying to populate a new version of DNAA that a mate and I have done. In order too make it realistic decided to build up a fleet of Nigerian Air planes . Iv'e found plenty of 737's and installed them via Traffic 2005. But I wanted something a bit larger, i.e 767 etc. After much searching found the aim_b762 and a texture aim_762_nigeria. Installed this and modified the .air file using Aired in order to see it in the aircraft selection drop down. At first it showed but no textures visible, then FS9 crashed. On reboot I could not see it in the aircraft list and after several re-installs gave up. I then tried the Aardvark version, downloaded the aia762ge.zip alongwit…

Hi just found this fs9 aircraft video on YT. okay obviously I have missed something, how do we add this shaking effect? It's pretty cool (so is the merge :P). regards

Hello all So heres my problem.. I downloaded SWA, American Airlines, united and Delta traffic packages from woai for KLAX. Initially, none of them showed up at the airport, so i uninstalled the offending packages and reinstalled, and then all was fine again. Or so I thought. I'm pretty sure you'd all agree that KLAX is one of the busiest airports in the world, and thus you'd expect to see a great deal of AI traffic at KLAX. Not the case. Heres a screenshot showing an overhead view of KLAX and the parked AI traffic. Not a lot, as you can see. My AI density slider is moved all the way to 100%, so that can't be the problem, and all my other airports are appropriately…

I just wunder if I am the only one who wonders what happens with Imaginesim VIDP scenery. They have made several announcement about this scenery but nothing happens. Their latest announcement says it should be ready by the end of marts, but no further details are given. Does anyone know anything ?

Anybody have any good bush flying routes for Alaska ? Working on some new youtube videos would like some good routes.

Hello all, I recently received this popup when starting FS9. MSFS Has Stopped Working A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. I won't hold my breath waiting for Windows. Has anyone received a message such as this? I re- moved the last program I added to FS9 thinking it might be corrupt but get the same message. Thanks, Mike

I hope someone can help, but my FS9 has stopped working. The splash screen will come up, then that's it nothing will happen.

Hey all! Im looking for any open suggestions to a very good sound pack (freeware/payware) for the A330 GE engine? Found one free ware before but my old computer crashed so I forgot where i found it. Been looking all over again now but no results! There are some good ones but its annoying that you get this distorted sound, eg; it sounds rough on the speakers, not smooth as it should.. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Chris

Go here http://library.avsim...=root&Go=Search The new update has many new features including a marshaller, completely integrated pressure/oxygen system with oxygen mask and risk of blackout. Plus many other new features. Hope you will like it. vololiberista

I downloaded the DHC-3PZL otter and installed it into my FS2004. I also downloaded the DEAN instrument panel for the round engine. The engine sound is terrific and sounds just like the 1000 HP PZL engine. My problem, in both VC and 2 D modes there are no intruments, A/S ,ALT, Engine instruments for starters are missing . The basic T form of flight instruments for IFR. . The King Avonics package works fine. Also the mouse will not move the throttle, prop or mixture controls. I like the Wipline float installation I have flow the real A/C in Canada on straight floats out of Warbush and Schefferville. Would realy like to get the panel square away to enjoy flying this …

Dear Simmers, I have looked in various forums for the solution but I just found the same problem itself, nevertheless maybe in the meantime there is a solution: so I have ISD scenery of LIMC for years without problem but yesterday I noticed that the area of the airport was totally green, runways (but interestingly the runway numbers on the concrete were missing) and buildings were there and AI traffic. I cancelled the ISD LIMC libraries from the scenery library but the problem remained the same, no standard MSFS airport and textures at LIMC :((. LIMC basic and LIMC terrain layers were ok, I have reinstalled the scenery but nothing have changed. This is a bgl pro…

Hi, Whenever I load up FS2004 the airport is always set as Seattle Tacoma guessing that is default. Can I change that to London Heathrow or something because it's quite annoying always trying to change the airport before starting to fly. Also I fly in europe mostly and hardly ever in Seattle Tacoma. Thank You

I recently downloaded the m7260 Maule plane , which is considered one of the best freeware for FS2004. Well I installed everything correctly, and put regular Gauge files into Gauges. But the aircraft does not in turn have virtual cockpit textures. There are 4 winrar files in the gauges file that have XML and bitmap files in them. Are these whats needed for the VC, if so how do I install them ? Ive tried putting them into gauges. I really need this plane for my videos. Thanks! Link to plane file here: http://www.flightsim.com/file.php?cm=SEARCH1&fname=m7260_*

I am trying to encourage someone to produce a scenery package for FS9 of the Tompkins Regional Airport located in Ithaca, New York. It is a neat little airport located in the Central Southern Tier of New York State. A package was produced of this airport for FSX, but the creator has no plans of doing it for FS9. KITH has an ILS runway, 32, and has hills and Cayuga Lake that border it. I have no talent regarding scenery creation, so I would really appreciate it if someone would take a look at this airport and place it on AVSIM.com or Flightsim.com for all to enjoy. Thank you for taking the time to read this post. Hope someone is willing to take on this request. …

Does anybody know why my PSS Dash 8 does not follow the Glide Slope down. I have the correct IAS, correct ILS frequency the GS gets picked up but then the aircraft just continues at the same height and does not follow the GS down. Any ideas please. Thanks John

Hi all, after installing a different video card on my system I have noticed that my shockwave white wing tip lights and the aft fuselage lights are no longer a yellowish white color. They are almost the same green nav light color. Is there any place where I can adjust the color of that particular light? The rest of the lights are fine, landing lights, strobes, and the green and red nav. Thanks, Bill
