The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

My AI props propellers are shown either as rotating squares or black circles. There was a fix for this but I can't remember what I did. Do anyone remember the fix to correct this???Thanks in advance

Pilots,Recently there was another post on how to remove the VC (& cabin) from Wilco's ERJs and E-jets. I have now removed these VC's using a HEX editor and I must say I am very pleased with the results.Now, I was wondering: is there anyway to remove the VC from the Wilco Airbus (series 1 & 2)?Thanks.Eric

Can FS play on a laptop? I have a new samsung R730 3GB 400GB?FS9 or FSX. :( :(

I am re installing my scenery (after a recent haard drive crash) and I need some help with Flight Zone Rhode Island. I have my registration key but I don't have the exe file for the scenery. Is there anywhere I can download the Rhode Island exe file? I bought the scenery when it first came out and I am pretty sure I bought it from Flight Zones website. But they are gone now. Is there anything I can do or will I have to buy it again from Simmarket?

I was just wondering if the new LIPQ scenery from Tropical Sim was worth replacing the LIPQ2009 by Alberto Pastorutti? Please advise and thanks!Mark

Hi Everyone,Well, it was good while it lasted, service for Jeppesen SimCharts ended April 1, 2010. It was a great program that I will miss, I hope they have a change of heart, maybe charge for a renewable subscription to keep the service going.

I would like to know if it is possible to install only one type of an aircraft out of a package from PAI. I have the WOAI FedEx package already installed, but for some reason, I have no MD-11 traffic. Lots of DC-10's but no MD-11's.What I want is to install the FedEx package from PAI and just use the MD-11's and flightplans from that. Is there a way this can be done? If not, will there be issues if I just install the entire package on top of the one I already have, or am I going to have duplicate flights everywhere?I've never gotten deep into AI traffic where I manually install models and paints and flightplans, but would be interested in doing this if I had to with t…

HELP!!!!I just got FSG 2010. I have uninstalled FSG08 for FS9 then installed FSG 2010 for FS9, I started FS9 and looked in the scenery library and no FSG2010. I tried manual addition of scenery areas but it fail. How do I fix this without yet another fraking formatting of HD and reinstalling everything "AGAIN". ThanksBest Regards,77L

I have been having some relatively nice flights with Wilco's Airbus Volume 1, despite the fact that it took me some time to get it flying due to various issues. Now that I'm in the air, there is one thing that irritates me a lot. After I have updated the navdata to 1002 (it was 0610 previously), I can't access any SID or STAR. They just don't appear in the list. It's as if they don't exist. This is weird, because the navdata the Airbus uses is the same one as the 737 PIC uses, and in the latter plane I can see all the SIDs and STARs. I know Navigraph does not officially support the Wilco Airbus Volumes, but does anybody have any idea how to fix this anyway? It's a highly …

Hello,I have a problem with my main screen changing from the cockpit view to the virtual cockpit view without anycommands being entered by me. I was sharing my screen with a friend on Skype today and it was happening so often that wehad to close out the session due to multiple changes of the views. I am wondering if anyone else has ever encountered this problem and, if so, did you find a wayto eliminate it? I am using FS9. Also, why am I not able to see the cursor while typing my message? Is there something I'm missing here as well as in the FS9 program?I thank you in advance for any help and/or advice you may have to offer.Clay

I have been thinking about the best option when flying very high (above normal airliners altitude) and in heavy Jets. Is FS9 the simulator to use or should I buy planes for FSX? Heavy Jets would realistic mean flying into big cities so performence could be a problem in FSX. But I think I have read that FSX is more realistic for airmass simulation at very high altitudes but I'm not certain. For example the very high flying Concorde is now available for both FSX and FS9. Would you buy the Concorde for FS9 or FSX? And the Blackbird SR 71 also flighs at extreme altitudes. Do we miss something with regard to realism by using FS9 instead of FSX? One example I come to think abou…

Im pretty sure everyone knows the autothrottle problem when you merge the PSS 777 panel with the Overland model, but is there any solution yet? Or do i have to use the POSKY model, but that too has problems. Any updates on this?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has seen this problem before. FS9 only draws the water textures at the appropriate detail very close to the aircraft, as you can see from the pictures below. From altitude this results in very abrupt lines. I've searched the forums for help on blurry textures and have tinkered with the fs9.cfg and my nvidia settings but without success. This problem affects the water apparently, the land looks great. The major add-ons I'm using that are relevant are ActiveSky 6.5, Ground Environment, Ultimate Terrain and Real Environment Pro (for the water textures). My comp right now is a Pentium D 2.8GHz with 2Gb ram and an nvidia geforce 9600gt…

Is there anyway to remove the VC and Cabin from the wilco ERJ 145, 135, 145XR and the ERJ170/190? It just uses up unnecessary frame rates because I just never even use them. I don't like that feelthere never gives you an option to remove the vc and cabin like other developers do. Scott

I'm having a huge problem where I always experience a CTD at a point somewhere over Eastern Europe. I haven't been at the computer when the CTD happens, so I can only guess that it's happening somehwere over Poland, Belarus, or Western Russia. I have lots of scenery installed, so I'm doing to try and start disabling things to see if I can find the problem.My question is what should I concentrate on disabling? Should I've allready tried clearing the scenery from those countries, and I got a CTD somewhere over the area while going from ZBAA to LFPG. Should I just try removing everything that I'm not using?Or maybe the CTD isn't caused by a scenery package? All I get is an e…

Hello AllI am a great fan of the FFX-VISTALINERS aircraft.I have lots of there 737 300 400 500 dreds .One thing I have noticed when setting up a flight, I go to the fuel and payload screen in FS9, and in that screen where it shows the aircraft centre of gravity indicator it is always right on the nose of my selected aircraft.When I load my payload and fuel that indicator still remains on the aircrafts nose.This is not a problem(the FFXs are so user friendly to take off and land) I was just wondering why this is. PS Is your PC getting a little long in the tooth?Then you should try the FFXers they are so frame rate friendly (I do convert to dxt3 though)and I get beautifu…

I am using Aryus Works really good Cessna Citation Excel XLS (560) and I am looking for a good panel to go with it. Can anyone recommend a good one?

On my old computer I had a free FS9 addon called REP. The program enchnced runways, water, the sun and other environment features within the sim. Would somebody direct me to where I can find a copy of this addon. I can not remember the actual flie name of the program.ThanksTom

hi, i am thinking of buying a new graphic card. i have two choice cause of several reasons (budget, case fit etc) first: ati 4870 512 mb; i read before this card is very bad at fs9 aa and af .second: gts 250, this card worse than 4870 but, many people say nvdia better than ati at msfs.i am using 8800gt sonic. i am not happy with that card at fs2004 because of jaggies and poor performance.

Hi. Does anyone have any idea where I can get a gauge called 737200? I don't know if it's a cab or a gau type gauge. It's probably a FS2004 gauge. I need it for a DC-9-50 panel that calls it out but did not give the gauge. Thanks, regards, Bob.

This is the last turn on the PZ416 SID at Venezia Tessera giving the pax a nice view! PZ416 has no restrictions :( vololiberista

Howdy folks!Decided o bring out my 742 out of the hangar and noticed a problem i have with the flapstruts.Is it normal that they extend all the way down when selecting just a Flap 5 setting?(note pic)I also downloaded the latest model files from the posky site and my flaps section in the aircraft.cfg looks like this:[flaps.0]type = 1 // 1 - tail, 2 - leadspan-outboard = 0.8 // 0.0 .. 1.0extending-time = 25 // secondsflaps-position.0 = 0 // degreesflaps-position.1 = 5 // degreesflaps-pos…

Time to refresh my navigation skills, fellow captains! :)I've hereby attached a simple illustration to better explain the problem. Pls use it for reference!Ok, imagine a situation when you're flying in a light GA aircraft with no autopilot and GPS on-board to determine your position along the established route - only "basic" navigation instruments. Now, let's assume that you're flying a flightplan which should take you from the airport / intersection shown as VOR1 on the image to a heading A first. To fly this route, it would be logical to tune the VOR receiver to the frequency of VOR1, and (knowing the distance from VOR1 to A) to keep the VOR needle centered along the co…

I have Fly Tampa's San Deigo scenery installed and close to the airport is one of those large default water tanks (or is it a fuel tank?). At night the whole tank disappears and all you can see is the lights. Is there something that can fix this? I thought I remember seeing a fix for this but couldn't find anything.

Dear All,On Saturday, I was conducting a routine FS9 when the PC came up with a strange error message and I had to shut the program down. I have just repeated the same flight and once again the FS9 shut down at exactly the same point. This time, I wrote down the error message, which wasThe instruction "0x2077660c" referenced memory at "0x09612874" the memory could not be written. Click OK to terminate the program.Any ideas what the problem is?I wasn't flying near any built up areas or where intensive flight activity was happening, as far as I could tell.I would appreciate any help on this as I am truly baffled by it.Best regards,Peter Keenan
