On my old computer i had something called ACLoader that helped plan payloads..I tried to find that program but I find it is no longer available..failing that, is there a program that is available that would be equivalent?Herb Dykeman

Since the ILS doesnt work properly (intercepting the LOC is screwed up, descends and climbs too much etc when intercepting, not a smooth interception) if i replace the PSS [autopilot] section-which is from the PSS aircraft.cfg-with the POSKY [autopilot] section?If it works it'll solve soo many peoples problems with the ILS on the merge.Here:PSS one (currently being used in PSS POSKY 777 merge)[autopilot]autopilot_available=1 flight_director_available=1 default_vertical_speed=1800.0 autothrottle_available=1 autothrottle_arming_required= 1autothrottle_max_rpm = 108.5autothrottle_takeoff_ga= 1pitch_takeoff_ga=8 ;max_pitch=10.0max_pitch_acceleration=1.0max_pitch_velocity_lo_a…

Hello.I have a litte problem. If i fly plane in Airliner Pilot (dont know maybe it also happens in free flight) sometimes my plane is being heavily draggd off course ... meaning heading changes - autopilot turns back to heading it has ... airspeed jumps higher or lower and it really ####### me off. And if i set weather option to "clear all weather" it dosn't happen anymore. Also i have turbulance set off. Does anyone know how to get rid of it?Thank You.- PhOeNiX

Hi. Does anyone know if there is a document (similar perhaps to 'AircraftContainerSDKFS2004.doc' for the aircraft.cfg file) that explains all the elements of an FS9 .flt file? I assume there isn't such a thing or I'd have probably come across it by now??On occasions I want to make manual alterations or additions to an existing flight plan. This is usually OK, but can anyone tell me what the values in the lines WpInfo0,WpInfo1,WpInfo2 etc. are (in the section "GPS-Engine")? The penultimate value in each line (a two or three-figure number and a decimal place) represents what exactly for example?Many thanks!Martin

Hi, Just a quick question regarding the Bloom mod in FS9, Can anyone confirm that they have it working with multiple monitors? My setup is TrackIR with a 42" screen running VC and two 17" monitors running undocked panels (EICAS,starter switches etc) I only ask because I tried it a long time ago and couldn't get it to work, so maybe someone found a fix?Thanks

So, being into FSX for pretty much.. ever now keep in mind I'm not here to start a FSX vs FS9 thread, I'm just simply explaining my frustration in hopes of someone relating to them, like I was saying I've been in FSX for probably about 3 years now, i've never really considered FS9 being more satisfying until very recently when I explored it a lot more, the Ariane, all the addon scenery for pretty much every airport I fly from and to, so much more than FSX. I have a fairly tough system, from 2008: Core i7 920 @ 3.8, asus p6t 12gig ddr3, 4870x2.. some of you might know ronaldcgriffin on youtube, which happens to be me, maybe not so much if you're not into FSX but the big qu…

Hello, I have lost all of the default scenery (airports) in FS2004. If I go to select an airport to place my plane in Switzerland I can only see the 14 add on scenery airports. I have followed slewing and aircraft that was flying from LFSB (Basle-Mulhouse) to Lugano, when it reached Lugano it started circling the area at 6,000 ft. Lugano does not show in the FS 2004 Map window any more. and when I placed my aircraft via slewing in Lugano I get the tower the buildings and grass, no tarmac or runway (look at picture). The other issue is that if I slew my plane over Switzerland really fast I will get a black screen and FS9 will restart. IT looks like I lost some of my origin…

HiFor unknown reason I have wrong heading on all airports.Something screwed up my fs9.For example if I choose LDZA rwy 05 (rwy hdg 046DEG), it points to 180DEG.And it is visible on all a/c. And IRS reset on payware a/c does not helps.Same with PMDG and Wilco.Any advice.ThanksEdin

Hey guys i know there's an application out there that speeds up AI traffic once on ground, and it also seperate traffic in the air. Can anybody direct me to such file, i have used it in the past.

There have been some fantastic discussions and contributers over on the Screen Shot forumn on how to best integrate enbseries into Flight Sim. Some of the results have been spectacular. However, I seem to be stuck in as much as the various settings don't seem to work on my system. The problem I have is that the clouds (see attached screen shot) seem to be over saturated, washed out even. My settings are as follows. [PROXY]EnableProxyLibrary=0InitProxyFunctions=0ProxyLibrary=[GLOBAL]UseEffect=1AlternativeDepth=1AllowAntialias=1BugFixMode=0SkipShaderOptimization=0QuadVertexBuffer=0EnableShaders_3_0=1UseMRTRendering=0AdditionalConfigFile=enbseries2.ini[EFFECT]EnableBloom=1En…

Rushing to get liveries I didn't read the fine print (FSX only, FS9 will be available soon). Knowing developers chock this up as stellar FSX sales I'm a little ticked at myself for this. I won't be diving into FSX until around or after 2012 (if the world is still around by then). I'll keep the liveries but a careless mistake just the same on my part... :(

I've had UT USA for a couple of years and I finally broke down and purchased UT Europe. I may have made an error during the installation of the software on to my computer. After installing the base package to my sim, I checked for FS9 patches on the UT Web Site. I found three update patches were available, 1.1, 1.11 and 1.12. I installed all three patches. I later discovered that I only needed to install the 1.12 patch, the version that I had purchased was already patched to version 1.12. My first test flight was from Zurich to Rome in a SR22. That is when I found that the lakes and oceans were a problem. Instead of seeing rounded or jagged shorelines, I'm seeing …

Hello(!),Just thought I'd give this a try. I'm looking for the side and rear views etc. (cockpit panel bitmaps) produced by Stefan Leppek for the Eric Marciano freeware A320 panel. The Eric Marciano webpage has the link to the file StefanLeppek.zip but the link doesn't work. Does anyone by any chance have the file on their system and could they possibly forward it to me or provide a link. I think it's still freeware so it should be ok I think.Any help appreciated.Many thanks,Pierre

Does anyone know which texture controls the color of the haze/fog? I just installed an environmental package which I really like but I want to change the fog color from light blue to white, without affecting anything else.

Hello, I have a dell laptop, 4GB ram, dual core processor, running Vista Home 64 bit. I installed flight simulator 2004, and it works fine, but when I get to a flight, some things happen. When I start, I am in the plane, everything looks good. However, when I go to change the view, to either spot, virtual, anything, I hear the view sound change, but I am still in the cockpit. For instance if I am in the cockpit, and hit change to spot plane view, I will hear the pllane engines from the outside, the same sound you get in spot, view, but it is still in cockpit view. For some reason the screen wont change to match the sound. #####?? What is this?

Hi guys,Alicante Airport by Eiresim! Not yet in completion but looking brilliant as you will probably agree with me! ;)http://www.eiresimforum.info/index.php?topic=350.0

Hi,What setttings do I adjust in FS9 to allow viewing two screens on my monitor, which will allow viewing pdf in one screen and actively run FS9 on the other without the sim freezing?Berne AFA3564

Hi, to get a better Airbus addon for FS9, I was thinking about this. Wilco Airbus 320 has a good panel, but a bad MCDU, so is it possible (and how) to merge it with the VASFmc gauges (only the MCDU, which seems to be very nice)?Thanks, bye.RR

Hello,I am using Active Sky for many years now and everything looks fine with it. But if I do not use Active Sky, the visibility settings are not working correctly anymore. If I set the visibility to 20mi or higher, I get unlimited visibility only.Does anybody know about this problem? What could be the solution? Which files are responsible for settiing reduced visibility?Thank you for any help!OlivePS: I'm using also Flight Environment

Hi guys! My aircraft 747 got these problems!- The autopilot control the flight quite well until the t/d. It keep descending good, but didn't reduce the throttle. I did switch a/t but it seems not to be activated coz the speed didn't stop at the mark.- The FMC always show 'Route discontinuity' although I put all the waypoint into that. - I've read through the tutorial on smithplanet.com to start up the 747 but I couldn't turn the ELEC ENG COTROL switches to norm after turning on the battery and stanby power (I've downloaded the cold and dark panel state provided as well). So I always use the way on YouTube. Is that problem on my aircraft?
