I picked up the DC-2 payware Uiver airplane yesterday. Very, very nice! Especially nice VC.What I cant find are the supposed extra liveries for this bird. Especially the American Airlines scheme and the Marines scheme Im interested in.Anybody know where those are? I didnt see a download section on the developers site.Eric

Hi, I am currently en route toward the cold Sweden from the warm Portugal with my A319 Wilco merged with the Project Airbus. Well, I had several problems to follow the route inserted into the MCDU. For example, three or four times my aircraft followed very strange heading quite different than the next waypoint's heading (e.g. waypoint on heading 040, ND suddenly modified from 040 to 240, then the aircraft turns left or right to follow that heading).Did you have any kind of similar problems? How did you fix it?p.s.: the Eric Marciano MCDU upgrade fix all problems about TOD?Thanks, bye.RR

I have been merging the PMDG 737NG Panel with the POSKY 737 Model for last few days and I have now, what I deem to be, a pretty good package.........bar one problem!I only use the 2D panel but I don't use PMDG's panel bitmaps, I use the panel bitmaps from the Skydecks B737NG. i.e. Front Left.bmp, Left.bmp, Back Left.bmp, Back.bmp, Back Right.bmp, Right.bmp, Front right.bmpI was wondering if there is anyways of altering the brightness of the bitmaps so they are pretty well matched to the darkness of the PMDG Main Panel (at night time!!!!!!!!!).I have attached a picture of the main panel and the front right view to show the difference in the lighting.I hope there is a solut…

I was recently flying a B737 from Frankfurt Main(EDDF) to Helsinki Vantaa (EFHK) I had FS Commander 8.6 rolling map open on a widefs driven laptop, so I could see my plane, flightplan, and AI planes. Upon reaching cruising altitude at FL310 and a few miles NW of Berlin, I noticed on the Map display a B747F of Korean Air Cargo flying in an opposite direction bound for EDDF decending thru 26,000ft. I went to spot view on FS9 to see the 747 which at that time was on my 12 o'clock, I saw the red letters on the display first, then the plane. As it was about to pass 6500 feet underneath my plane it just disappeared. from the screen, the yellow plane icon on FSC also dissapeared…

Hi all!I'm new here, and actually i didn't find a topic which can help me, that's why i opened it. First of all sorry for my english, i'm not perfect.So my problem is a littlebit unusual, i just start to use Wilco ERJ145 in FS2004, and everything is so good, i really like this modell becouse more realistic than the other wilco software. But one thing is not ok, when i'm using virtual cockpit, anyway i always use VC, i wanna chose any selector or button but i even not click just i drag my mouse above the selector a small window blinking up to explain what selector or button is that. And this is why the Simulator is lagging for a second. And this little thing is s…

When i am trying to fly happens that during the loading of a flight or going to an airport FS2004 stops and return to desktop or approaching an airport.Some suggesion

Hello people,I have been looking at FSCommander recently. The moving map seems very useful and a fun thing to have, and also the flightplanner looks good. However, already having FSBuild and vroute, I was wondering whether FSCommander is worth buying. What do you think of it? Is it a good program?

Hello all,I am looking for the beautiful repaint that made by Pablo Diaz for the Alphasim's F4D Skyray. (a few very nice shots can be seen here: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/295214-trying-new-clouds/page__p__1827019__hl__skyray__fromsearch__1#entry1827019 )It was in the Avsim's library (and probably on Flightsim.com as well) but missing. Do any of you have the idea where can I find it? Any help appreciated.Thanks in advance.Tamas

HI all,here is something for ifly737, if you don't like default yellowish night lights in virtual cockpit...File should appear soon in AVSIM library. Name is "ifly737_ckpt.zip"Also here is lights configuration, but unfortunately, you must have PMDG and Ariane models installed, for this to work.[LIGHTS] //Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landinglight.0 = 3, -60.15, 0.00, 4.35, fx_shockwave_navwhi.fx ,light.1 = 1, -4.07, 0.00, -7.80, fx_shockwave_beaconb.fx ,light.2 = 1, 4.00, 0.00, 6.90, fx_shockwave_beaconh.fx ,light.3 = 4, 38.25, 0, -0.22, ariane_737ng_vc_display_light.fx,light.4 = 5, 7.50, 7.75, -3.20, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow_old.fx…

I have "attempted" to install World of AI and several packages to my FS9 which has so many aircraft, flight plans, gauges and panels which should have merited a better consideration. It is all my fault, nothing to do with the files installed. To add to the injury I also "installed" Traffic Tools and the Visibility program which wouldhide AI aircraft from the aircraft listing.Dumb me - now FS9 will not start and the dreaded message of a problem encountered and the need to close is all that is left.Have searched and read that traffic 030528.bgl in World/Scenery might be a problem - have removed it as well as all the WoaI .bgl files which I had installed. No go.Is that a fin…

Greetings All, I have been trying to locate EFSim's payware Jodel series for FS9, without success. The website seems to be no longer working. I would like to purchase this series of add-ons (currently Jodel D9, D11, & training extras), but cannot find an online store anymore. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

http://www.1011tristar.com/Apparently you can still preorder this, but I doubt this project is still alive. Anyone have any info on this? I think they should take down the part where you can put your credit card number into it so that some FS noob doesn't accidentally place an order for this. The project was looking pretty nice though at the time :(

Hey gang! It's been over a year since I've flown, due to a dead system. I just haven't had the money to throw at a new desktop. I miss simming dearly and need to get flying again! Anyway, I'm looking to get into the best bang-for-your-buck system to run FS9. Here were my OLD system's settings (that worked very well for FS9):3ghz P4 HT2 gigs of RAMRadeon 9800XT 256mb video card.Aside from FS, I am not a gamer. It's FS and internet. That's about it. So, based on the old-school tech I had, what products are out there that would be cheap and offer a step-up in performance? Maybe some year-old + technology that is in abundance? Products to avoid? Does this all make …

Question???If I wanted to purchase FS Addon Manager how would I purchase it? I tried using the method that the product offers but just went around in ever decreasing circles and got nowhere. Does anyone else use the program? If so maybe you could point me in the right direction please. TIA.......John

Hi GuysAnyone know what has happened to the HTAI website? Been unavailable for a couple of weeks now.

I just got this scenery working, and it's great, considering how old it is, but I have one question...If you look at the land past RW5, or at the islands to the SW, their meshes are blocky and indistinct, and they form big triangles poking out of the water. If I move closer, they pop into focus at close range. Once they do come into focus, they look fantastic, but is there any way to increase the level of detail that I see from farther away without having this annoying, pop-up terraforming effect?thanks

Has anyone configured the FS9 DreamFlight 727 series for A2A/Shockwave 3D Lights Redux? I have searched their forums and cannot find anything. If you have a config that works, I'd be grateful if you would share it or post it on their forum.A related problem is that the taxi lights illuminate the ground just great in spot view but there is no discernible effect when taxiing from the cockpit, which is usually the prefered position. :( Any ways to tweak this? The landing lights do seem to throw some very discreet spots way out in the distance - not particularly helpful in my view but at least they do something. The runway turn off lights do not seem to work - are they just …

This is going to sound really dumb, so I'm very sorry!When you click the box to download the weather every 15mins or so in fs9, how big is the actual download in mb? And does that vary depending on whether you're using a 3rd party wx add-on - like as6 etc?Any help appreciated. (unless you think it's a really dumb question!)Jon.

Hey everyone,I was looking for a couple of FZ PDX files that I can no longer find that were on the Flightscenery site that no longer exists. The most important one being the UT compatibility patch that fixes the coastline around SEA. The second was the GA flightplans for the smaller airports in the scenery. If anyone has theses, please send me a PM.THANKS!Danny

Hi All I did tag this question on the end of an old topic but thought I may have more luck starting afresh. Could someone possibly post what they believe the best AI Smooth settings are. I have version 1.20 and yet I have AI flying past me on finals, or turning in short for a landing, and I constantly have to do go rounds due to traffic on the runway that have jumped the queue ahead of me. I have already set runway and taxi speeds to 35 and 20, but need help with other elements, which I haven't really touched. All help appreciated.Best regardsMalcolm "Rooster" Hancock

Downloaded my company 737-700 from swavirtual.com. I believe it's a Posky. I'm getting the message (unable to load aircraft or software, file rp733.gau), however if you continue to push the "ok" button in these message eventually I can get into FS9 and the plane loads, however, the radios, in my panel don't work.Are these two problems are one? Any ideas?

http://forum.avsim.net/topic/317076-universal-overhead-panel/Wasn't getting replies fast enough on that forum, so i thought i'd try out on this forum, as the overhead will probably be for FS2004/FS9 and it'll require some software for FS2004/FS9. Any ideas loyal FS2004 users!Help appreciated, need help on deciding what to buy etc quick, as i want to begin making it as soon as possible.

Since getting a GTX460 graphics card I have had really bad panel flickering in the PMDG 747 and Leonard Maddog (these are the two I have tried so far). I didn't have the flickering when I had an ATI 4870 card. It's making flying in FS horrible. Any way of stopping it?I am running FS9, W7 64 bit. Andy S

Completed these in fs2002,are there any known issues patches,tips tricks? for fs9 ? old timer struggling BobG
