    Hello pilots! I have a new PC and now I fly with more than 100fps! But I see a small problam that obviously is not from my machine! Some distant ground textures are very late to load and they look very blurry (uloaded) unless I come very close! What can I do for that? Is some configuration in the sim or in my card that can fix this?

    All Robinson fans probably found the problem with strobe light - switch is not working correctly, it is dummy and you cant turn on the strobe on the tail. The solution is quite simple.Find this line in aircraft.cfg (aircraft.cfg is located in your "Flight Simulator 9/Aircraft/Robinson_R22" directory) file:light.3 = 1, -18.90, 0.04, 2.58, fx_beaconReplace it with this:light.3 = 2, -18.90, 0.04, 2.58, fx_beaconBasically I changed the number after '=' symbol so FS would detect it as a strobe, not beacon light, because the switch in the cocpit controlls only strobe lights.***Looks like MS didn't allow the R22 gauge creator to communicate with the one who created the aircr…

    I am still with FS9 as I don't have the cash to buy new stuff and a more powerful PC. FS9 works great and all, but I was hoping to find a CDU/FMC that could run on an iPad so I have touch screen capabilities. I have a small Raspberry Pi designed touch screen (7") and it works OK, but the buttons are very small. I know that Remote CDU won't work with the PDMG 737NG that I have as tried out the free version just to make sure. Does anyone know of an app to get a CDU/FMC on an iPad that is compatible with the PDMG 737NG and FS9? I certainly don't have the hundreds to buy an actual hardware CDU/FMC. Thanks. John

    Hello pilots! I have a gauge for GPWS warnings and altitude callouts. This gauge finds a folder called "GPWS" in the main FS sound folder and make the job done! Now I have found GPWS sounds from Airbus with "retard, retard, retard" and I have put them in the main FS sound folder in a subfolder called "GPWS1". My question is, how I can make a gauge to direct my Airbus aircrafts to read this GPWS1 folder?

    Hello pilots, Does anybody know what is the fs9 temperature that contrails appear by default? I have installed AI contrails and I choosed -27, but the AI cobtrails start in lower altitude than mine! So, I want to configure the right temperature in AI contrails so they start appear at the same altitude for all the sim (AI and mine) Thank you!

    I don't know if this has been covered elsewhere in this forum. But I've noticed that some POSKY 747s (namely their VC-25 and E4B models) include passenger stairs, but their commercial 747s apparently do not. Does anybody know why this is? And is there any way to include the stairs on their 747-200s? Or am I missing something?

    Hi Since days ago in my FS9 kneeboard there isn't any kind of information. No checklists, no references, no briefings, nothing. After search in the forum I've read some information related to a compatibility problem with internet explorer (one example in this post). They suggest, as solution, uninstall ie 11 to a previous version 8, but I think it's a extreme solution. I would appreciate if someone can confirm this compatibilty problem with newer iexplorers and the kneeboard before to start to think about reinstall my FS9 copy. My specs are: W7 64bits + ie11 (although my main browser is firefox) + FS9.1 Regards

    Hi Folks, Try as I might I cannot get the FSRealWX lite program to actually update the weather in FS9. All appears to download correctly and I have confirmed that the METARS I am getting are accurate and up to date. But none of the buttons for writing the wx to the sim do anything at all! Strangely though the "Clear WX" button does work. This is the VATSIM download, as the NOAA option just hangs. I am not getting any upper winds either, despite ticking the relevant check box. I have tried several older version of the program and on several computer too, all with the same effect. Nothing! (I have version 1.07.1522.) The PC I wish to use this on runs XP, so I …
