The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

I am having an issue with the FMS. After I dload a route into the fms(from VROUTE) I cannot get the fms to show any speeds or altitude in the legs page. i also cant seem to be able to manually insert them either. Where the speed and altitude should be is just the dashes. its very frustrating and the manual is not specific about it at all.

Recently have been looking at getting the 737 by Wilco.Can someone please advise on the fidelity of this package.I have searched for reviews and opinions and they seemed varied.Already own 767 by lvl d,pmdg 747,flight1 atr,tu154, etc,so I like realism.An objective opinion would be appreciated.Regards,dimitri.

Hello all,I just recently picked up a GTX 570 for my system (primarily for FSX but I also still use FS9 for a bulk of my heavy iron flying). With a GTX 570, and latest drivers, is it still necessary to install/use nHancer or NVidia inspector? Anti aliasing is working for me in windowed mode on FSX but I can't seem to get it working on FS9. Has anyone had success with this in a similar configuration? Granted, it is better than my previous ATI 4870, but I can't seem to get entirely smooth edges.Any chance anyone might have some insight? Thanks

I have a new computer running Windows 7 and I am running FS2004. I installed FDC Live Cotpit 3.8.3 (updated to v 3.14) and Radar Contact4 (ver4.3). I can run each of the programs by themselfs and they run very soomth. If I try to run BOTH programs togather I have problems with lockups, black windows, windows slow to "come up" and other problems. I have these two programs running well on another computer running Windows XP. Can anyone advise me as to what the problem is running them togather on my new computer CPU 4.0 GHz and 12 GB of ram. Thanks jerrycwo4

The default AI aircraft in FS 9 have suddenly disappeared. Does'nt matter which airport I go to, there are absolutely no visible planes, and no AI ATC.I am running XP Pro, Ver. 2002 SP3, on a P4 2.8, with 1 GB Hard Drive,(only using 270 gb) and 2 Gb Ram, with ATI Radeo x 1659 Video Card. Up to now it has never been a problem. Does any one out there have any ideas of why this happened and how to fix it. Thank you in advance.Mike

Am Looking for a 757, 767 or a 777. What is the best payware one out there. Have been gone for a few years and I know back then (2004 or so) that PSS was the best but heard there gone now. Any Suggestions? Thanks

Coast line around Seattle is messed up when FZ02 portland is installed with UT-USA, looked all over for a solution but I can't solve this one. I had it running fine before, but I made the bad decision of trying to re-install FZ02 and wasn't able to undo this recent re-install.I have the FZ02-UT fix file and after running it the coast line did improve, but still streets show up in the water (most annoying at night).Any advice on fixing this?Thanks,Pat

If you would like to try your hand at flying something rather unusual, check out the Lunar Pilot package from this link:http://www.things-to....com/downloads/This is the formerly payware "Things to Come" offerings which are now free!. A great way to start the New Year.There are several to choose from including the Lunar Lander and a Jet Pack! Videos are also available so you can see what is in store if you try one or more of them.Hope this "heads up" is helpful.

I think I figured a way out. As it is known, the PSS airbus series are hard to handle in time-acceleration, due to PSS's insist on real-simulation. I have no opinion on that matter. Some people prefer, by their own right, real-time. However, some people who are short of time, using FSP or other matters, want to avoid the crusing time.Anyway, I have these planes from PSS, but I prefer to merge them with other plane models, whist using the PSS panels. I have these configurations.Panel PlanePSS 757 = Posky 757Gets violent at 4X. Still haven't figured that out.PSS 777 = Meljet 777Can get up to 16x with no overall configuration.PSS A2X = IFDG A32XShaking at 4XPSS A32X = Ov…

Hi - Does anyone know how I can cause guage representations to appear in the screen spaces for the PFD/ND as opposed to the normal PFD/ND display in PMDG B737 600/700 for FS9? The effect I am trying to achieve is this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WYLmlscNWI&feature=recentlikI emailed the youtube poster and he said he found it in the options, but I cannot. Is he using a more recent B737 programme? Mine is about 3y old.Thanks

Hi guys,I've just installed Bangkok (VTBS) into FS9.As it's a new airport in FS, how do I get AI traffic to arrive, park and leave the airport?Cheers,Ben

After installing it, none of the gauges show, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no luck.Downloaded it from the file library a while ago and I still have the original file.Here's a picture (sorry for the quality but I have no clue what happened when I uploaded it :()I hope someone can help me, thanks a lot.

Can someone please advise on a fix for this.I have attached a screen of klas,but the problem also exists at other default airports.I also have several third party airports like flightzone kpdx where the problem also occurs.Is there a way around this via different layering of the scenery?I am running GePro,Ultimate Terrain,Fs Genesis mesh,and a 3rd party detail1.bmp.Dimitri.HNY.

I see where FSGlobal Ultimate Mesh was recently released on 12 DVDs, including a "tool to fix airport errors" caused by the mesh, supposedly by adjusting airport elevations. Of course there aren't any before and after photos of the tool at work, and even more suspicious is the fact that they don't call them "airport plateau" errors, like everyone else does. :( Does anyone have any of their products, and does this tool work? Is the mesh as good as FSGenesis' mesh? I already have a lifetime membership at FSGenesis so I've supported him as much as I can, but I'm am absolutely horrified lately with the look of my beautiful payware versions of KDEN, KLAS, etc. when using F…

Hi,Has anyone tried Roger Martin's new snowflake texture?If so, what video card do you have and how does it compare with the default?Happy New Year :(

Hi guysJust want to ask how does the Ifly 737 compares to PMDG old NG in FS9. I planning to buy it just want to see if it is worth it.. Or better get the new videocard and wait for the PMDG NGX.

"A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL"I have been trying to find this patch for the last hour or more and have had no success at all. Can anyone help please?....................................JohnPS: It's supposed to help cure a KLAS plateau.

Can someone please advise if it is possible to increase the tree density in fs9 by editing the autogen xml,or by another method.Dimitri.

Hi allThe blue prop lever on my CH Eclipse yoke is recognised by the CH config manager and also in the calibration section within FS9 itself. However, no matter what aircraft I fly which has prop control the lever doesn't work in either the 2D or VC panels. I've deleted the fs9.cfg file and rebuilt it to no effect.Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this problem?TIADavid

Ok i posted other ad about blouchyness. it kinda hard to catch it in a screenshot but i tried, im running flight sim 2004. my graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce GT430.Before i got that it was intergrated. I dont really see a big diffrence but the light and some thing are brighter. While in flight there are times when you cant see ground scenery it is just blocks of green, my screen res is set at 1280 x 1040 i think im running the same in flight sim 2004 also. ill include with this a screen shot i took in flight. at first you might say well thats fog but its not, i have it out lined and pointing to where i see the issues it might not be an issues and it might be thats all …

Have been reading about config the tcas2v7.ini file. Just did a search on my computer and it's not there. The tcas2v7.dll file is but no ini file. Any way to get this without reinstalling FS. Thanks

My panning speed from the yoke hatswitch is too fast and I forgot where it is and how to change it. Would someone please remind me. Thanks jerrycwo4
