Hi all, I am facing a problem using AFCAD 2.21. I tried opening existing airports and all I got was AFCAD has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. How do I resolve this? I am not and IT expert. Many thanks.

Hello to you all, My friend Bartek "Holo" of Kazhol Designs who repainted my "Five Star Charter" VH-CAC has very kindly released it to and for the AVSIM repaint library. This aircraft was conceived many years ago as a tribute to my lovely Indonesian wife, Candra Awianingsih. That is the name of the aircraft and it was featured in a topic "My baby is born" a few months ago. (September 26) Look it up if you do not remember the post. This aircraft was lovingly designed by myself, and Bartek has done an incredible job in the repaint and contributed the tail design of the five white stars. My initial design was going to be a five pointed Green Star with a gold figu…

Hello All, Couple of days ago I have purchased the FS2Crew Airbus Special Edition V1.1 from Wilco Publishing. The installation was successful untilI exited from the instal program. However, there is a fault message in red "Error 404- not found" The requested URL was not found on this server. Please check the URL or contact the webmaster. I have de-installed FS9, re-installed, only installed the Airbus Vol1 and update, but the error keeps coming up either no publication or just the URL. When I look at my installation in Total Commander (FS2Crew) all pulications are present (2off) I have approached Wilco by e-mail, but do not get any responses out of them. I would …

I am searching for a Douglas DC-4E. It has a triple tail similar to the Constellation. I would like one for both FS9 and FSX, but I will take what I can get. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would consider paying for one to be built if that is the option that is available. I am going to have it painted, so no livery is necessary. Thank you, Jon

Will my Sandel His work in the Dreamfleet baron 58 in vc as it does in 2D?

Hi, Just purchased the v9 of fsmeteo running fs9 with win7-64. Connect to server and get local metar and then goes to setting global weather & K61W -please wait. Program just hangs-hrs. Tried default & local connection and all 3 weather modes-fsmeteo,vatsim,ivao. Sent e-mail to Marc to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Thank-You

Hello. I have a bit of an unusual question. All of a sudden today the overall sound in FS9 is about half of what it was before today and I can't figure out why. No new sound card. No new sound drivers. No changes to the actual sound settings. And it's only affecting FS9 as far as I can tell. Windows in general and other programs seem perfectly normal. The only thing that was done is yesterday a reran the "MakeRwys.exe" application due to some changes with an airport so that the FsRaas program would recognize things. But I don't see how that would affect anything to do with sound. I can't figure it out and it's making me rather upset. Does anyone…

Looks like yet another FS2004 scenery! http://www.drzewiecki-design.net/prodBaku2017.htm

Good Evening, I have just watched a you tube clip about FS 2004 (Why Am I Still Using FS2004?!?) and i was very impressed by the ground textures and grass. What is the best pay ware or freeware to improve things. I do have all the UK VFR scenery by Horizon but wondered where the you tube textures are likely to come from. Thanks Jonathan

Due to family priorities ive not really fired up fs9 for the past year or so but now I'm slowly getting some time to get back on it. I noticed today that as6.5 won't download any new weather so i suppose it's just too old and no longer suported. Not even weather from vatsim seems to download. I got fsmetar up and running for now(its pretty good for an old freeware program) At some point I'd like to venture out and pay for some new weather program but are there any that are supporting fs9 right now?

Does anybody out there have the TrackIR software for Windows XP. I lost mine and the website doesn't have it anymore, Gregg.

A very interesting concept: http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/128306-vfr-simulator-preview/

Hello all, Win 10 has completed the final destruction of my beloved FS2004. I have just spent a couple of days reinstalling Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit and then reinstalling FS9. After full installation of VOZ1.8 (Australia) and some additional airport sceneries, I then installed Evo 2015 with the 2018 updates and moved on to FE 1.3. I actually tested a flight with the stock Baron after each new airport scenery and after EVO. After installing FE (Full Environment) I started up FS2004 (or tried to at least) and got a message unfamiliar with me. "Flight Simulator is incompatible with Direct X 9.0C. so I re-downloaded and installed Direct X. This achieved absolute…

Something weird is going on here. Yesterday everything was working fine, but today the taxi and landing light switches on all aircraft (even default) do not work. They switch on momentarily then immediately switch off. What I mean by this is that the toggle switch (on the default Cessna for example) moves back to the 'off' position. I have even tried using the keyboard command and view from the outside. I see the landing light flash for a split second then it is off again. It is especially strange as I have not modified anything in FS9. I did, however, install a Win7 update yesterday, although I cannot see how that would affect anything like this. Has anyone com…

To begin, the two things I use to create routes is flightaware and FsBuild. I get the route from flight aware and input it into FsBuild to build a flight plan for Fs2004 and my fmc or fmgs. Flight aware is getting increasingly inaccurate for routes to Asia and Europe. http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/117132-route-analysis-with-fr24-and-skyvector/ This article shows that by using csv files (csv files contain location (lat,long), alt, etc.) from flight radar 24, you can use the csv of a historical flight and put it into an excel file the author made and it would put out coordinates that could be used in freeware and payware flight planning software (e.g.…

every time i press a button is triggers 2 buttons on screen i really need help on that thank you!

Hi There, I installed FS Global Special Edition recently in my FS2004. And I tried AI Aircraft plane spotting, at my Payware Aerosoft Mega Airport (Amsterdam Schipol) this afternoon, and now landing AI Aircraft land there, but with the wheels slightly above the ground rather than touching the tarmac. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem ? Any help would be appreciated. Regards Eddie

Hey! Good day, Is there anybody who can explain Why some tree textures in my FS2004 scenery EBLG made by Papy31 are missing and show wrongly? I've tried many things to make these textures visible, but did not succeed. Please tell me what could be the origin of this defect. Jive1 - Belgium

Dear friends simmers and lovers of Como Lake - Italy,We are pleased to bring to your attention our project "VFR on Lario", which began last year.With its 17 locations, this work intends to cover the entire area of the lake and surrounding mountainswith land photoreal (multiseasons and night) mounted on exceptional and realistic meshes.An accurate and widespread autogen, along with many other library objects and dedicated ones by GMax,complete the best vision in detail.Finally, the inclusion of seaplanes AI traffic give you a great sense of realism when flying VFR in sight.The project, clearly ambitious, will require adequate time for its completion, but anyway,we are stil…

Hi All I planned to do a repaint for the wilco 737-400 in the ASL airlines livery now they seem to be repainting their fleet from the old TNT livery to their own. I have had a search on the library here, no luck and google brings me to old dead links. Does anyone have, or have a link the paint kit for the 737-400 (or also 300 & 500) please? Thanks!

Hello all, Apologies for this thread, I have an incredibly unusual problem, at least for me. I flew last night FS2004 and all was normal. I started a post requesting a good add on installer after my flight yesterday, but as said, all was normal when I turned off the computer. Today I tried to fly with FS2004 and when I clicked on the shortcut icon nothing happened I tried the FS registry fixer and that indicated success. I clicked on the shortcut icon again and the same result ... FS9.exe the same. Next I went into the regedit route .... and path was ok. Tried again ... same result. I uninstalled FS2004 ... reformatted the SSD and rein…

Hello. I'm hoping someone might be able to help here. I am using the v6 scenery for PANC from FRF but the approaches that appear in the GPS are all wonky. https://www.dropbox.com/s/a88vd9dpk19g0dl/PANC_Approaches.jpg Is it possible this can be fixed? If so I'm hoping someone can help me do this. Thanks!

Hello all, In another post I was having problems with not being able to launch FS2004. That problem has been resolved but only with a full format and re-install of Windows 10 (with all the peripherals) and then a reformat and re-install of FS2004. This has worked beautifully and I am very happy except for one small thing. Every time I start a flight or change aircraft, I now have to reconfigure all my controls. None of the buttons/keys assignments or the Axis assignments are being saved. I have actually seen a thread on this, but do you think I can find the bloody thing. Googling simply gets FSX responses which to me are as useful as udders on a boar p…

I'm capable of compiling and recompiling using TTools. I can change an airport ICAO and then edit the flightplans for the newly created ICAO. My question is, how could I get AI to stop going to an old airport and instead fly to a newly created airport that is close to the old but not in the same location? I'm looking at the old Bangkok airport which is VTBD. The new one is VTBS but the location is different. I'm happy to change VTBD in the TTools airports text list to VTBS and change all flightplans from VTBD to VTBS. If I change VTBD to VTBS and add the new coordinates for VTBS to the TTools airport text file will the AI fly there? My next question is how do I fin…

Hi, after reinstalling fs9 on my new system I have noticed that my mouse cursor turns black when not pointing to clickable areas on my panels. Is there a way to fix this? It turns white (normal) when it finds a clickable spot on the panel. Thanks
