I have Swedflight's Kastrup (EKCH) scenery and I just downloaded a free addon for the Oresund Bridge. I installed the addon bridge but the default bridge still shows up. How do I delete the default bridge? Not only does the addon one look better, but the default brdge is in the wrong place!(I got the addon scenery from FSnordic file library in the Sweden section)

I recently discovered what I perceive to be a problems with the aircraft exterior lights, the Nav,Rotating Beacon and strobe lights can hardly be seen during day operations and even at night they can hardly be seen, also during night operations the passenger cabin lights are not visible (guess they all sit in the dark) all the afor-mentioned should be visible clearly on the outside view of the A/C.Further when loading the Panel state for a particular flight in the passenger config. and select either long or short time the A/C is on the ground, only the freight config. loads properly, in the passenger config. it should load with engines turned off, APU off and on external…

Is it possible to download the repaints for this anywhere else other than Capt. Sims website? I've found it so aggravating I swear I'll never buy from them again.Thanks,Todd

Now I have migrated to Windows 7, I really, really miss the great a/c sounds that I used to get at airports with FSHotSFX installed in Windows XP. That programme's setup will sadly not run in Win7 - I have read a number of people who have posted saying they won't change to Win7 precisely because you have to go without FSHotSFX. Well, I get so much better performance in Windows 7 64-bit than I got in XP 64-bit, I am not about to change back, but I can positively hear (so to speak) how quiet my airports are now. Very sad the creators of FSHotSFX abandoned it.I have had word that a couple of well-know FS software designers are considering their own replacement of FSHotSFX (y…

Having removed my installation of FS2004 and cleared the many related files from "strange" locations I have re-installed the software from new discs. When I select "run" it clicks and whirrs for a short time and then shows the following message"Aircraft Initialisation Failure Citation Paint1 Minimal_VC"Does anybody have any suggestions please?Happichap.

Hi,I installed nVidia Inspector (apparently nHancer won't work with my 260.099 drivers?) and, not finding any post to say FS9 should be done any differently, set FS9 as recommended here:file:///I:/nhancer-settings-for-new-drivers-updated-v1932_topic36586.htmlBefore doing that, I made a video of the problems I have been having (PC specs are per my signature) - link below (problems only really show properly if you see the video in full screen). Now, things have improved rather, but I still have the same problems - lines (airports markings, joins between flaps and wing on a/c, etc.) that literally 'go to pieces' when there's the slightest movement and run around like rodents…

Hello,I'm thinking about getting all the GE and UT packages for FS9 but I'm confused about the installation process. What would be the proper installation order? Do I have to buy both the GE Pro and GE 2006?Also, would everything run fine under Windows 7 64 bit?Thanks in advance!

Hello,I have spent a fair amount of time googling for this, and maybe I'm not searching for the right terms (English is not my first language). But what I'm looking for is an external application that would connect to FS2004, and display a list of departure/arrivals for a specified airport, similar to the displays they have in actual airports. Did anyone ever hear of such a beast?thanks!

Hi all.. I´ve had this problem for a while, but finally decided to solve it...Sometimes, when I start a flight at day/dusk that runs into night, the light gets "stuck" at dusk and the "dark" night textures does not load... (It will eventually get totally dark in the sky, but that total darkness would occur around 01:30 local time at KSEA, this time of year, is laughable!It´s a little hard to explain, but normally you would see dark textures on the ground and on other objects/aircrafts etc.. In my case all that is not illuminated or a "lit up" texture itself, remains totally black.. (except some AI-traffic that gets its´ "normal" night textures, (a bit too light actually))…

I would like to find out why there is a difference between the altimeter on the planes and the actual height. There is a difference between the altimeter and the 'control Z' function that is a part of the FS program. What is the reason there is any difference between the altimeter and the 'control Z' function? In a flight between Zantaa and Heathrow just flown, there was a 500 ft. flight difference. If anyone has an idea please let me know if this is fixable and if not , why not.

HiWhich one is better.LatinVFR or Tropicalsim SBGR.Thanks Edin

Hallo everybodyI use FS2004, using a Joystick and the parameter "autorudder" is on.When I am taxying on the ground, and I would like to turn left or tight, some aircrafts react very slowly to my command, especially to return to the neutral position. When I want to continue stright ahead, it takes a "long time" until the aircraft is really going stright forward. For example: I want to turn left, so I put my joystick to left. After the turn isalmost completed and I want to go stright forward, I have to put my joystick to right for a short time.This happens not to all aircrafts. Some of them are going stright forward, with no need of any correction.I also tryed to test with…

Hi,Since a week ago I discovered that the a great central part of Spain is sunk and only water parts and airports are on normal level. The sunk part appears in squares when I fly over it, just like the normal evolution of the scenery in squares. I don't know what I did wrong. I use FS9 and have a lot of freeware and payware scenery of Spain, but as far as I know no mesh.I would very appreciate if someone could give me some hints about what is wrong here. RegardsRob

Hello simmers!I installed Tileproxy (latest Beta) and followed ALL the instructions, and the configurations, and when I start TP it fires up OK, then says 'ready to fly'. I start FS9 and go to whatever area I want to fly in (say Jersey -UK). And then potter around in a cessna for 20 minutes or so.In the meantime I get JPEG decoding errors at level 14, 15 and so on.I dont get any photoreal tiles, and left with my default Scenery (Real Environment Extreme FS2004)! What am I doing wrong?!I have placed the Earth Scenery LOD8 folder ontop of whatever I had before, then several (but not all) of the scenery folders from the cache directory on top of LOD8. Still no joy.Can some1 …

I have been flying Flight Sims for 12 years and my favorite aircraft is the Level-D 767. I's about the only large airliner that I fly. I have had a MAJOR computer update and it now is using Windows 7 and like a lot of you trying to use Windows 7 and the FS 2004 LVLD-767 it does not work too good. Just about click on any window and the screen goes completely black. But you also know that. I can usually get my "picture" back by clicking around on the top of the screen and pulling the "window" down a little..... but its really frustrating as you know. I've tried for years to get into and/or sign up for the LVLD forum, but for whatever reason , I can't so I cannot get any hel…

Hello everyone!I have been looking for virtual cockpits ( for every model i can find really) but without any luck !Can someone point me to the right location? Especially for MD-83 ( I love that little thing) !Thanks in advance

All, I had seen a post that mentioned an FSBuild profile in the AVSIM lib for the DA PA-31 Cheyenne... It was also mentioned - it was lost in the crash... Would anyone have said file and be willing to share it - if it doesn't violate the author's EULA ??? Please just PM me and I'll send my email address...Regrads,Scott

I have noticed that when I am flying over ocean or any water, I notice this lines in the textures, they don't look as they are part of the textures, as they remain in same exact position as related to the aircraft. Does anybody knows what they are and how to get rid of them, I see them whith Zinertek water textures and REX as well.ThanksJuan

Hi. I have the Sky Simulations MD-11 but it's a very long time since I flew it. All is OK, but I have a problem with the panel. Does anyone else who has this a/c have the same thing, or is it just me?The fuel usage is very odd. On the overhead panel there are five tanks shown. Fuel is used up from one tank at a time - first the 'AUX TANKS', then, when that is almost empty, 'TANK 3', then 'TAIL TANKS' and finally 'TANK 2'. The fuel in the left tank, 'TANK 1' is never touched and if all the other tanks have been used up the aircraft engines switch off, even though TANK 1 may be full (verified in the FS9 fuel window). As each tank is almost empty a 'FUEL LOW' warning appears…

i prefer 2D when i'm going to land or take off, because in FS2004 has buggy panels...

Hi,I wonder if anyone experienced jagged textures with ATI Cards and photoreal repaint. How did you fix it? In these days I did a repaint of Posky 777ER with a Singapore Airlines livery. Well, when I applied those by hand textures I had not problems: all textures were crisp and not jagged, with any view angle and zoom distance.But, when I apply photoreal textures to the model (which are about 90% of repaints available on the web) I often suffer of jagged textures, shimmering and flickering problem. It seems like if I don't have AA on, but for texture this filter does not apply.In other forums I read that nVidia users have not this problem, it is more frequent for ATI user…

I've been adding a lot of scenery lately, both payware (as in the World Airport series, FlyTampa's US Airports1 and Seattle, and Aerosoft's France 2) and freeware. I've seen my frame rate drop from the low 20s to half that and more. I've tried adjusting the texture, autogen, AI traffic, and weather settings. It seems like, particularly with the first three items, making drastic reductions results in little, if any, improvement in the frame rate. I think some of the aircraft I have may be partly to blame. The Fokker Project's F28 in particular is a HUGE memory hog causing my frame rate while using the ONT2006 scenery for KONT drop from 10 or 12 fps to less than 5 afte…

Does anyone have the configuration to add the 3D lights to the POSKY B777-300ER, and POSKY B747-400v4? ThanksBrgdsMike

Hello all,I have encountered a strange problem in FS2004 recently. It started when I did a de-frag of my hard disk, and cleaned out some clutter from it. I must have deleted something from FS2004 because I have a strange proglem going on. It has to do with ATC. On airport property, ATC is fine (clearance delivery, ground, tower for takeoff, departure), but then departure control never hands me off to anybody else, even though I have filed an IFR flightplan. When I get close to my arrival airport (100 miles or so) and am preparing for descent, I get no ATC communications whatsoever. Sometimes, all I get in my ATC command box is the option "Nearest Airport List." It …
