The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

I have a FS2002 scenery of St. John's International Airport installed in FS2004. It works and looks good except that part of the terminal building has blurry textures. The textures do go back to normal when I move closer to them. Is there anything I can do to stop the textures from becoming blurry?(the scenery was made by Craig Mosher and Steve Mosher)

Just a heads up

1. Has anyone figured out how to get the landing lights to stay on even when the gear is retracted? The way it is now, whenever the gear go up the landing lights go off, and the light effect is embedded in the model, so I can't fix it in the aircraft.cfg. All I'm realy looking for is for the light map to stay on the fuselage, showing the light reflection, instead of disappearing when the gear is raised. This happens regardless of the model I'm using (i.e. project airbus/posky/pss/overland)2. I'm getting an annoying control surface flutter (visually, not actually interms of flight dynamics) when watching a replay of the aircraft with FSRecorder. Come to think of it, I have…

Hello!I've some problems with the sound of my propeller aircrafts and unfortunately I get no clue how to solve that. Well, let's discribe the troubles: If I load a aircraft which has a piston engine and propeller, the outside sound is muted or it disappears if the RPM goes up. At first I thought it could be sound.dll, but it wasn't. After that I expected that something is wrong with the fs9.cfg, but it wasn't it too. And the worst thing is, even a reinstallation doesn't fit it. Could it be a gauge of an addon-aircraft, or something other?I love to fly with props and it hurts really, that i have no working sounds. Does anyone have the same problem? Or could help me?Best re…

For some reason after assigning a KSAN gate to a flightplan (FSBuild) using gatekeeper, the aircraft always appears somewhere mid-field. I checked FlyTampa site and didn't see an updated AFCAD. I have no issues with any other addon airfield. I typically transfer the AF2.xx.bgl to my addon scenery folder to make the parking/airline gates appear in gatekeeper. I did that with KSAN and got the mid-field parking spot (even though it said gate 8 or 12, etc). I put the AF2 file back and it still does the same thing. I also ran ScanAFD to see if there was a duplicate somewhere...there isn't. Puzzled.Thanks in advance.Rich Perry

GE Pro is better than GE 2006, are they made by same people etc? What are major differences apart from ASv6 feature with GE pro...Cheers (want definitive answer which ones better)

I have spent two days installing FS9 in Windows 7 64-bit: an utter disaster.. I know some people say they have done so successfully, but I wonder if installing FS9 in a folder other than the Program Files x86 folder is a good idea, given it's an x86 programme? In addition to the following problem:http://forum.avsim.net/topic/301172-fs9-menu-bar-problem/I have a number of other serious issues - fs9.exe still appearing in Task manager after the programme has been closed, flickering/black screens on loading/changing aircraft etc. - FS9 failing to load at all in the end (maybe because FS9.exe was still in the task manager - I'm not sure now if it was or not). Whatever, I have…

Hi everyone!I have a general question about Flight Sim 2004. I know how to watch replays, but is it posible in FS2004 to reposition the aircraft, like it is in real life simulators. For example, could I reposition myself 10nm out on an ILS approach, and do the approach again, instead of going around and completing the entire procedure. Or even going back in time, say to go back 5 minutes and do the manoeuvre again?Thanks very much!Alicia.

After building a new rig and installing Windows7-64bit OS I am unable to get the LevelD B767 and PMDG aircraft working in FS9 (and in FSX)When trying to open PMDG aircraft FS9 freezes and when starting FS9 after installation of LevelD it says: unable to load LVLD.dll.I could not find any topic adressing this issue. If I missed something please guide me to it.System:MB ASUS M4A87TDCPU AMD PhenomIIX4955BEGC XFX Radeon HD5670Memory 4 gigOS Windows7-64bit

Hi guys,I am having problems with Blurry textures while I am on the ground, switching my views. Its the same as people are having in the air,but I am only having it on the ground. Sometimes its there sometimes its not there. I just installed fs9, and zinertek night 2010, and zinertek water advanced. I had ge pro installed before but I thought it might be ge pro which was the cause, but as it seems its still there even with the basic.Do you guys have any idea what it could be? I tryed all settings within cfg etc, but it worked perfectly before so I dont whats wrong.

Hi. I originally posted this in the PMDG forum, but I now see it's happening with other a/c that have options in the fs9 menu bar like Level-D, so I hope posting the problem here too is OK.I have just reinstalled FS9 onto a new PC running Windows 7. I have a two-monitor setup, each working independently of the other.Everything works fine until I press the 'Alt' key and choose one of the PMDG (for instance) options from the FS9 menu: the screen just goes black. If I exit full-screen mode and go to window mode I see that the options window has been opened behind FS9 (which, as I say, is now black). I can drag it to my second monitor, make my selection and go back to FS9 (wh…

Hello allCan someone please enlighten me with regard to the landing gear operating when I select a switch on my CH yoke?There is no assignment anywhere in FS own assignments-I have deleted these because my assignments are routed elsewhere. Yet no matter what I do this switch continues almost as default to be assigned to the landing gear!!!I have a registered copy of FSUIPC and there is no assignment there either!Any advice gratefully received. Thank youAW

So now we can use FS to fly from F1 race to F1 race with Formula1 2010... I know there were others interested when it came up a few months ago so I figured I would pop back in and let everyone know it is out. I am thoroughly enjoying it so far. I went with the instant download via Steam and now that I have some laps under my belt you guys can go get it too LOL... Now we can all fly from site to site for our races :)Cheers,-P

I am having this issue, whenever I try to start a flight from KCLE, KPIT, KCMH, or any other airport in that area my flightsim (FS2004) won't load and crashes back to desktop! Now Chicago works fine, Burlington Vermont and Boston area airports are good also. It just seem to be when I'm flying over Ohio, Michigan and Penn, WV, Indiana...

i have encountered a strange problem with my level d 767(sp3) - when I press the heading select button the plane will always turn to a heading that's 1 degree off the desired value. For example MCP heading select heading - 180, when I press shift n z (or go to fs2004 map mode) to check the heading it tells me my aircraft is flying at 179 degreeAlready tried level d support forum no luckany hint will be appreciated!!

Hey all, is it me or is the real 787 taking too long to come out? Now my graphics aren't all that, but I at least try to have very good models, such as the Overland, Wilco, Captain Sim, etc.... The 747-8 has been released by both POSKY and I think it's is fantastic. PMDG released the 747-8i expansion. I haven't tried the PMDG 747since I think it's to expensive. I still wonder why anyone hasn't come out with a really good 787. The CamSim 787 just doesn't cut it and the Abacus 787 is just a sad story really. Does anyone know anything about a new 787 being released in the near future? Hope to read responses from you guys!!Alex. R

Hello All,I've noticed a curious behavior in my FS9 lately. As a rule, I always pick my departure and arrival airports in the default FS9 editor, click "Find Route," and then add all the waypoints in between based on what the actual flight has filed (via flightaware). However lately, if I pick two airports on the east coast of the US, i.e. KTPA and KISP, as soon as I hit "Find Route," FS9 freezes for which I have to ctrl+alt+del to close it. So as a workaround, I used FSNavigator to pick just those dep and arr airports and exported to .pln. I was able to load the flight plan into FS at that point and select the appropriate waypoints to follow the real-world flight. But wh…

FS2004 now blurry, check the attachment...Only happened when I installed some GE Pro "Ground Environment Professional Textures", can't seem to install the "Ground texture set" cause i don't have cdh00.dll in system32 folder...any help on this? (file not found cdh00.dll - once it has finished installing the textures, so I don't think any of them are installed) I even changed my fs9.cfg:[DISPLAY]UPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT=20TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=400[TERRAIN]TERRAIN_ERROR_FACTOR=50.000000TERRAIN_MIN_DEM_AREA=10.000000TERRAIN_MAX_DEM_AREA=100.000000TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=19TERRAIN_TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=7TERRAIN_AUTOGEN_DENSITY=2TERRAIN_USE_GRADIENT_MAP=1TERRAIN_EXTENDED_TEXTURES=1TE…

I asked some questions about my vc problems in the Maddog 2010 Review-Topic. Since not all of my concerns could be solved and some more issues have come up and I couldn't find a similar entry, I decided to open this new topic.My issues:- As mentioned in the other topic: How can I move around the vc of Maddog 2008 without using the module FS1view.dll? Since I deinstalled it, I can rotate buttons (which really is a lot of fun! It's just like the real thing.) but I cannot move backwards or forward, left or right any longer.- All the screens (FMC, ...) remain black, even though they are on in the 2D-panel. How can I get them alive in the vc as well?Thanks for sharing your kno…

Now I know that the OoMs are not caused by a lack of memory (physical or virtual) per se - it's an issue of address space I understand: I've read dozens of posts here on this subject and contributed to quite a few too. This post is to ask a specific question though.I run FS9.1 on a Windows XP SP2 32-bit system. I am toying with the idea of changing to Windows 7 64-bit, (though I'm not 100% confident yet that my machine will fully support it, but that's an issue I can sort out elsewhere). Meanwhile however, I wonder whether I can prevent some of my OoM CTDs by increasing my physical RAM. If I change my 2 x 1GB sticks to 2 x 2GBs (DDR2 PC2-6400), surely that will make a dif…

I'm having a rather strange problem recently, with all of my aircraft in FS2004.When on final approach, the aircraft locks onto the ILS localizer and glideslope. However the middle marker symbol & glideslope indicator are not displayed on the cockpit display.Would appreciate it, if anyone would be kind to guide me how to resolve this?Thanks in advanceMark

Hi allIt's been a good (if not expensive!) few weeks recently for new FS9 scenery and this morning, when I came on line, I found that Blueprint had released KIAH. As I had the old SimFlyers version of KIAH installed, I was a bit reluctant to buy the Blueprint version but after studying the available screenshots I decided to take the plunge and I thought I would give some feedback for anyone who might be considering buying it.Like all Blueprint scenery this is not in the top league (Mega Airport, Fly Tampa, FSDT, UK Extreme) of scenery, but, to be fair to Blueprint they essentially make this clear on their homepage and they do offer reasonable quality scenery at a reasonab…

Hello simmers,I know this probably doesn't go here but I'm at wits ends trying to figure this out.I bought a product from a sim store and when I clicked on the file to install it. it was all Greek to me. A bunch of computer talk. I thought an Adobe product was supposed to change that stuff to English. Evidentlywrong.Has anyone had this problem and able to get around it.Thanks, Mike

Hi to all...I'm encountering a very annoying problem in FS9...my setup crashes enroute...I was flying from Manila to Puerto Princesa in Palawan, and about halfway on the flight, the sim crashed...I tried flying other routes, but they were perfectly fine...I tried some fixes that I knew... removing AI traffic and flight plans, placed an afcad fix... but still the problem persisted...I have an active GPS that time, actually, the GPS was integrated in the cockpit panel (for both cockpit & VC windows)...the error report says that the scenery.cfg and FS9.exe files were contributory to the crash...for that, I reinstalled the sim, and put back the modifications... but it sti…

Hi guys,Interesting little point.Downloaded durban_fs9 a couple of days ago. This relates to the new King Shaka airport FALE.So far so good but where is the VOR ?It is listed as KING 115.60. No sign of it !!It is a TVOR so I flew a little closer, still no VOR.I looked into the AF2 file with Afcad 221 and found that the Vor elevation was over 30,000ft !!I ammended this to 304ft (the airfield elevation).I restarted and voila.......there was the TVOR with the correct indications.Hope this is of help to someone.controller
