The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

Hi, I have encountered a serious problem concerning Level-D 767 FMS.I started my flight in cold and dark. After aircraft preparation and FMC initialaization , I entered the route waypoints and selected the appropriate SID. All waypoints appeared in the ND as I expected. According to the SID ,the aircraft was to turn left after takeoff and by reaching the first waypoint of the SID , turn to right toward INTC. As you know the next step is entering ZFW and CRZ ALT.My problem started from here on.After entering the Cost Index (80), the route suddenly changed in the ND, appeared as a direct line, ignoring the first waypoint before the INTC.When I activated LNAV, VNAV and CMD a…

I have about had it with just about any aircraft engine configuration in FS needing carb. heat and I'll bet I am not alone. This BUG seems to show up with some (if not all) Jets, Turbojets, and Inject recip models as well as applicable engines that require it.Granted it is simple enough to use an assigned key for carb heat, but invariably without any panel indication I will forget whether I have it engaged or not. I also use my "H" key for heading reset and forget whether I have "Ctrl+H" or "Shift+H" as my alternate assignment (Yea, I know my memory leaves something to be desired, call it senior moments). In either case, being that there is no panel indication, trying eac…

Aerosoft are having a 40% off sale on all Wilco products. The only one that really interests me is the ERJ Vol 2. It got a good review on AVSIM last year but I'm a bit hesitant to go for it as I've been disappointed in the past in their products. Can anyone give me some feedback on this package? Screen shots look good etc but I already have a hangar full of aircraft I don't bother to fly anymore and don't really need to add to the collection, sale or not. Opinions?Thanks guysIanps. The sale does not show up on Aerosfot's US site but if you go to the European site you will find it.

FSDT has just released an updated V2 version of KORD. It's for FS9 AND FSX AND IT'S FREE FOR EXISTING CUSTOMERS!!!!! It just doesn't get much better than that!

Is any of the payware companies have any thanksgiving/after thanksgiving sales? I got a email from FSDT saying they are having a thanksgiving sale, but I have all of their products.

Does anyone else have this issue? Sometimes it seems random but when I select the aircraft from the menu, it crashes the sim. What could be the issue??

Just installed the new Evolution for Win7 64 as I had CTD in FS9 & FSX with the previous series as this was not for 64bits.As in the previous series I have a CDT in FS9 & FSX when changing a Wilco aircraft to another texture, Wilco aircraft, or another non Wilco aircraft.I am having the same problem with the new Evolution. Only tested in FS9 at the moment using the download liveries.Could this be due not registering the product, asked after install, which I think is more for update info etc.Or that I am running the MSE virus scanner.I am the only user, and according to properties I am certain I have full rights, as this was asked when I bought the PC the shop in…

Evening all,I am about to head out for the night but i was hoping maybe someone could give me some pointers on things to do to improve visual and texture performance in the FS9 config....be great to get some real good improvement entries...Thanks

Afternoon all,I am struggling to work out how to get the virtual cockpit applied to the 777-200....Also i believe theres a VC for the PA A321....again how would i apply that?Ive been away from FS for over a year and ive forgotten alot!

I purchased the Airbus Evolution bundle (Vol1+Vol2), and I'm having the same problem: I'm having trouble trying to keep the descent path in managed mode. I start descent about 5 NM before TOD and everything goes OK until I reach (DECEL). From there, the aircraft can't keep anymore the vertical path since it struggles to reach green dot speed. Speedbrakes don't help that much, and I usually end up doing 1-2 360° turns while I lose altitude.I've seen here some people that report everything fine about the Wilco Airbus. Am I doing something wrong? Or there must be something I have to edit in the plane/MCDU? This is the only thing that does not leave me satisfied with these pl…

Hi all.My Spad is not seeing FS9 and I cannot find a reason why. I am running FS9. Yesterday it was fine today, nothing, I start it and it says waiting for FS connection. I have and use FSUIPC installed registered. To be honest I just cannot find any reason. Can anyone give some pointers please.................TIA..............John

Hi there,I was wondering if someone else has notice the main landing gear in the beautyful B767-300 from SkySpirit2010 , maybe I'm wrong, but the gear hang with the front wheels(in the buggy) up(just like a normal gear, B757,B747 etc.) and in the real thing the wheels hang the other way around, front wheels lower than the back ones, the rest of the model is 100 % perfect(well, at list for me!)Please, some feedback!!Cub51

Hello I have installed tinmouse V_40 on my computer alf flies ok but no sound.....:-(I read this about the problem:A related error, "0x7e cannot load FS2Audio.dll" can be caused if your DirectX version is too old, or if windows\system32 is not, for some reason, in your system path. To update DirectX, go to support.microsoft.com and get the latest DX update. Just because you have DirectX 9.0C already installed does NOT mean you have a current DirectX 9 version--DX9.0c has been updated every few months since it first was released, and if you have never updated it yourself, it's likely that your version is too old to properly run the Microsoft XACT engine used by the audio m…

Hey,I'm wondering if any other Eaglesoft Cirrus drivers out there can help me out here --- how long does the battery last when the Engine isn't running? Lately I seem to be having this problem where I can barely get the preflight stuff done and get my flight plan filed before the battery quits on me (probably < 5 minutes from battery on to totally dead.) Of course, starting the engine makes everything come alive again, but it's annoying to reset all the stuff again.Is this what others are experiencing? Can any real Cirrus pilots out there comment on how long the real battery lasts?In any event, is there some config file entry I can adjust to get a little more juice out…

Hi everyoneFor the first time ever, I've finally seen the fabled birds in FS9. I was parked at USSS (Sochi), looked out the left window and there they were, circling around 500m away. As my Sochi is a freeware addon, I wonder if they are from it? I've taken a screenshot, although I don't know how to post it.edit - just checked again, and the birds have disappeared in the time it's taken me to write this. Maybe you do have to be quick!Cheers, SLuggy

I recently merged the Fanda and dreamwings Dash 8 200/300 The issue I am having is that the center of gravity is all the way forward making the plane impossible to fly correctly. On take off roll, the planes nose sinks into the ground and the aircraft wont become airborne until about 160kts. Is there a fix for this? I have searched high and low to no avail.Thanks

Uploaded to AVSIM. Enjoy!Shez

Has anyone done it and if so, is it flyable in FS9? There is a gorgeous Challenger 300 that I saw that I would love to have for FS9.Chris

I have a b727 (Vistaliners) in which the overspeed setting seems wrong - the whole a/c judders in flight if I exceed certain speeds - but the speeds are not correct. Under 10,000' for instance, much over 220 KIAS and the shaking starts. Is it possible to fix this or is it written into the model? If it's in the .air file, what are the parameters I'd need to edit? - I can't see anything in AirEd ...Thanks,Martin

Hello, I have a few requests regarding planes and other things - Firstly, would anyone happen to know where to get detailed "operators instructions" for PMDG 737-8/900, Wilco 777 and "something" 757....who makes it completely escapes me, I am not at my own PC. Basically, I dont know how to fly these :SAlso, I have a query regarding airspeed - I was flying a 777 and in ascending about v/s 1800, the speed was dropping off at alarming rates, to the point I had to level off and try and build up speed, although I was still nearly 10 degrees relative. Even in level flight I was only achieving about 230 kias, which means that the King Air P90 I flew after was faster...How can th…

Hello to all you Flt Simmers, When using GPS 500 (default) I just figured out how to program the ILS runway to land on after several years of Flt Sim. For example I want to choose SLC ILS 34R in which default is runway 35, I programmed in, 34R and it VTF to BESBE (just outside of SLC airport) I tried the load or activate to vectors but after all the loaded info it directs me still to land on runway 35. My question is does this really work? or is it because it is a flight sim and not the real world. It is a lot of info to program in just for nothing. I would like to get some possible feedback on this topic, I would greatly appreciate it from all the Flt Simmers out ther…

Yesterday I purchased an LG LCD 42" 42LK450 Television. I was told that it would also make an excellent computer monitor. I hooked up an HDMI cable from my graphics card to the TV, it seamlessly works great. Picture quality looks amazing, and the sim looks good too. Only one issue. While flying the screen seems to be having a hard time "keeping up" with the outside movement. Its hard to explain. While in a turn, the screen doesnt tear, or show artifacts, but instead a horizontal break goes down from the top to the bottom of the screen refreshing the terrain. This "line" isnt black, its colorless, and blends in with the terrain. Its almost like a wavy transparent 1 inch th…

Hi, is it possible to tie down a float plane in fs so it doesn't float away or just keep bumping into the dock ?Thanks.

hi,I wonder if there's a way to get AI SWA flights to appear at FTs KSFO... I have tried to add the SWA code to the affected gates in the AFCAD but they still don't show up. I use an AI pack by WOAI so there a schedules flights by SWA to KSFO. The parking radius of the gates are also sufficient for the B737. any ideas?/Johan
