The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

After about 90 minutes of flight FS9 crashes with Scenery cache error messages.The first time it happened I had to click on a whole load of dialogues before I could retstart, each for a different scenery in my library, each apparently missing a file or several files.The most recent I got just one error message.The most curious thing is that the error messages concern sceneries whole continents away from where I was flying - example: over Denver and getting an error for Helsinki.Any ideas?

Hey all, I just got the Overland model of the 747 and I have the TSS sound packs and I wish to add them to those models. My problem is that there is only one sound folder and I can only use one sound when I have RR, GE, and P&W models..Does anyone have a solution to this? Thanks, Alex R.

Just thought I'd start a thread about the new updates coming out for Feelthere's Airbus. As an FS9er these days this is welcome news as many other FS plane developers have jumped ship. What do you guys think of this upcoming release?

Anyone tried to install EZ-Scenery v1.03 with Windows installer v3.1? I'm getting a Can't find the Windows installer message from XP32 SP2. Any ideas...Please advise and thanks!Mark

Having been a big complainer over the years - I've never been good at holding my opinions to myself -- and having been very outspoken when we had the last forum change, I just wanted to let Tom Allensworth and the rest of the crew know that this new format is a definite improvement over the last version and the Modernization is greatly appreciated. Everything seems much clearer, better organized and much easier on the eyes. Although I still don't see what was wrong with the forums of "yore" I wanted to express my heartfelt thaks to the "highly paid" staff here at AVSIM for taking the time and spending the energy to get 'er done and with a minimum of drama this time.<…

I like the smoke that comes out of the Concorde....I'd like to have this type of smoke on my other add-ons...Does anyone know if there's an add-on that will add engine smoke? To make it more realistic?

I have noticed that the coastlines in FS2004 are all square and was wondering why this is and if there is any way I can improve the visual effect. I have VFR photographic scenery and also SRTM-EB90 (channel Islands).Any help would be much appreciated.regardsBrian

Hello, I'm hoping someone can answer a question for me.After not updating EditVoicepack for quite some time I did it today. After I did this I noticed that after landing the tower does not tell me to "exit next taxiway" anymore.Does anyone know if this is happening now because of a specific mod that was made to EditVoicepack and has now been installed for me?I'm thinking it must be in there somewhere and I'd kind of like to know where it is. I reverted back to my saved version (before updating) and the message returned.If anyone has any info on this I'm very curious.Thanks!

As a long time FS9 user, I have come across a problem I'm sure I didn't have before.With all my aircraft, engine sounds now increases and decreases in audible steps whenever I open or close the throttle.Grateful for any ideas as to what may be causing this.Thanks.

Hi..The last week I got this problem:Some textures close to coasts and wirepaths are now red/brown...Does anyone know which texture this is, so that I can replace it with the original from FS9 CDs? I guess the texture was changed in the "world scenery" folder sometime during the installation of one of the following freeware sceneries:FACT, FAJS, LIMC, Tioman (Malaysia) or JakartaHere´s what the texture looks like outside KSEA:Any help much appreciated!/Johan

Hi, all of a sudden I

Problem: After I use the "y" key to "slew" move the aircraft to a location, say to a parking spot, then use the "y" key to quit the slew mode the aircraft then travels at a high speed and won't stop. This happens on some aircraft not all. What needs to be done so the aircraft will not race across the screen in a uncomanded move.KSPIThanks, CP

So I'm going to spend a little time upgrading my Scenery.cfg renumbering utility. I was researching just where the [General] section actually had to be in the file and couldn't find any written statement from Microsoft, (or anyone else for that matter), explicitly confirming that requirement. I have always gone under the assumption that it had to be the first section in the file. So does anyone know if there is a required position of the [General] section in the Scenery.cfg file or can it reside anywhere? Please advise and thanks!Mark

I'm trying to track down repaints for Wiggins Airways...specifically the Beech 99 and the DHC-6 used for UPS feeder flights. There used to be some files here before the Avsim crash but now they're probably gone for good. If anyone has these files I would really appreciate them.Thanks in advance,Markus

I use a Just Flight Program and GA Traffic to control my AI aircraft. Recently my TCAS notified me of a conflict. I was at FL310 controling a Dreamfleet 727-100 and was suprised to find that the conflict was with a BE58 also flying at FL310. I don't think that should happen. What type of software is needed to reset the BE58 max Alt to something more realistic? This is the only AI aircraft that I have seen to date on my system with this type of a problem.I tried looking at the air file of the BE58 with Windows Word Pad but all I could see was garbage. Thanks again for your help.Tom

Hi,I use the visibility settings in FSUIPC to allow for a layer of mist near the horizon as I think this is much more realistic than being able to see forever on a clear day.The only problem is that the visibility settings only work when using a weather program like AS6. Now I dont always run with real weather as sometimes I dont have long to play so I jump straight in to a quick flight or adventure. When I do this the visibility is disabled. When you then go back to using real weather, you have to remeber to re-tick the setting to turn it back on again.Is there a way to get the visibility working all the time? Im sure it does not have to be linked to real weather as the …

Hey Everyone !!!!!!Anyone know of any repaints of the Alphasim B-2 Spirit? if yes could you direct me to the websites i appreciate any help

Do I need to place AI aircraft into the FS2004 scenery library?regardsBrian

Has anyone notice that AIs actually have the same approach speeds? a piper, a cessna, a baron, dash, etc. these small planes are actually faster than a user 747 during cleared approach. and the thing is, ATC has this sneaky trick of letting them cut you off during approach. so even if you are 9NM apart, when they are cleared to land, their speed suddenly jumps to the slowest speed that by the time you are cleared to land they are still making their finals and you end up going around. if they are even 2NM away from you at the cleared approach path you'll have a hard time overtaking them and surely, they'll get ATC clearance before you do.is there a way to control their cle…

I have just purchased the Dream Liner from Abacus. What a botched job. First flight no airspeed tape. Checked with Abacus support site. Need update No2. Flight dynamics awaful in pitch on autopilot. No OBS adjustments thatI can find.Anyone else had any better experiences or is just me?

Hi all, I see the A-300 for FSX has been released by Thomas Ruth.Does anyone know if an FS9 version is on the way? the Vc looks really good.Stan

Hi,A very simple question that I haven't been able to find an answer to:Unless I have my "Terrain Mesh Complexity" slider set to 100, I won't have any benefit from a higher resolution add-on mesh, right?Thanks!

Can someone give me straight instructionn on how to do this. As in which bgl's to delete etc. Do we just install both as in settings > scenery in fs2004 unselect the Samsoft WSSS scenery? Is there options in the scenery selector for both scenery and airport separately? Can you tell me what to install with any patches neccessary in the correct order (eg Samsoft then samsoft patch then imaginesim WSSS?) then what to delete.Thx

Tried to install Fsdreamteam's new KDFW, but had a CTD. During install, it found the old freebie version of Zurich (offered years ago) and said to go to the website and download a new one. Dire warning that FS would stop if in area. Anyway, removed the old LSZH completely, since it had now disappeared. The CTD also screwed my FS cfg and after straightening that out, another install attempt opened to KDFW, but with a froze system. So, a complete uninstall, and again reinstalled settings wiped out in the FS cfg. Another FS check now reveals an error about some bglman.dll error and aircraft won't load. Never saw that before....but I will try to fix it. Anyone know wheth…
