The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

I've got JF 757 Pro and it's very nice...just curious if someone can give a comparison between QW757 and JF757...I had CS 757 a couple years ago and wasn't very keen on it. ThanksRich Perry

For a few days now all taxiways (and only the taxiways) in all airports (except a few payware) have become white, with no markings. Latest downloads were UHHH and Irkutsk.Can somebody tell me help how to solve this problem?Thank you.Eserice

Hi AllI need a little help here. I'm doing a fresh install of FS9 and I want to have my global aircraft quality in display settings on high,(that's what it was on before if I recall) but without aircraft reflections on. it seems if I turn off reflections the setting revert to medium low and I get things like black spinners on my Digital Aviation Piper Cheyenne props instead of the highly polished ones. :( So I need settings high but I don't want reflections, any way to do this please.Many thanksMalcolm "Rooster" Hancock

Hello, Quick one, i'm using REX clouds and AS 6.5.Max Thickness...is that size of the clouds, right/left, or up/down, or both? What is the, let's say, some natural value of it, if there is any? Stratus separation...to separate what from what? No matter what value i put in second one, clouds go one through another.( Force lowest ceiling CHECKED).Thanks in advance... :(

Serious problem with changing viewAfter loading a flight, the only view that works is the cockpit view. If I try to change view using S key or the top menu, it remains in cockpit (although the sound changes). Movable controls in the cockpit also work fine. Outside view doesn't move either. When giving it some speed, the outside image is like frozen. But using the top hat on my joystick to see left/right from virtual cockpit works, and when looking forward again, the plane has moved.I tried to change screen resolution, and for some reason after that I could cycle through the views until I got to the virtual cockpit, then it stopped again.I even reinstalled FS9, but the pr…

Could someome please explain what this quote from the forum means? Pertains to new update in AES "There is also a fine new feature that allows passengers to walk to the aircraft instead of getting on the bus, important for some positions" I installed the new update and I dont see anything differant? Thanks jerrycwo4

I have the v4 model of the 744. I have the posky util installed correctly, and all the animations work and show up, but the catering trucks and airstairs have no textures. My posky 777's work great.I just need to know the filenames for the catering trucks textures files. I downloaded the painkit but still no catering trucks.My pushback tug doesn't show up at all either... :(

It started as a question regarding cloud base of high elevated airports in the HiFiSim support forum and ended up in an issue about visibility.It revealed that FS9 itself at the example airport of Samedan LSZS (Europe's highest elevation airport at 5,600ft) does not set the visibility as it should.http://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?&showtopic=273090If you position at Samedan LSZS and set this kind of weather LSZS 281650Z 18006KT 140V210 7000 -SN FEW010 BKN050 OVC080 M00/M03 Q1001do you also not get the reduced visibility ?For Active Sky users its the offline weather file of 28 February 20z cycle.If yes, any clues as to why ?

Recently I started volunteering at the Estrella Warbird's Museum at the Paso Robles, California airport periodically running their F-18 flight simulator. see this link: http://www.ewarbirds.org/flightsimulator.htmlIt was acquired awhile back from Lemoor Naval Air Station (near Fresno, CA). My years learning and flying MSFS (since the late 1980's) certainly helped me to understand this sim and "come up to speed" quickly during my mentoring by one of the other operators. One thing that I had to learn while sitting in that real cockpit was how to do carrier approaches. Again I picked it up quickly. I've never really gotten into combat sims during my many years (s…

Hello, I have REX and I love what it does for FS9, but I can't come up with water settings that look real. I guess a lot of it is determined by the sim but the pulsating waves are driving me nuts. Even with it set to calm it doesn't look right. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all,Not sure if I am on the right forum for my question, but will try anyway.I recently purchased the above aircraft and flew the first tutorial with no problem but since then ran into a brickwall, which is the the FMC for this aircraft.I usual program my flights using the FS create a flight section and as such I program a flight from A to B using the available high level airways system, take off and transition to the airway system in done manually, then switch to autoflight for the enroute portion and then fly the ILS approach manually to a complete landing.The MD-11 has not even got a NAV radio display for manually input of ILS frequencies and since I use no STAR or …

Anyone using DBS Studios Airport GPS? I just downloaded and installed Update 1.3 for FS2004. After the installation I had to "run" the Airport Database Module about 15 times before the "blinking cursor would go all the way across the "status bar" from left to right. When I tried to start FS2004 I go a nasty message stating that I could continue with Fs2004 but that some aircraft or software would be disabled. When I clicked on the DBS "icon" at the top of the FS2004 window, Airport GPS was gone ! It was no longer there. I'm going to uninstall the program and reinstall it and only put update 1.2 back on until the company fixes the problem. I think it is a Japaneese c…

seems to me I heard of something but not sure of the link anymore..anyone??thanksBS

HiDon't know of someone can help but I seem to have a problem, I think scenery related with 9Dragons.Installed Version 2 of Kai Tak and was ok. Installed update slightly after and now I have these, what can only be discribed as vertical grey crosses when looked at from above. They seem to be mainly placed around the buildings at the edge of the runway.I have searched Kai Tak in the FS9 forums but to no avail unfortunatelyAny help would be appreciatedMany thanksTerry.SOS is Vista Home Premium 32 bitComputor: Dell XPS 720. 3.0 Ghz Quad Core. 4 Gig Ram

I want to update a few of the airports. Can someone please show me (within the AVSIM forum system) where I can find a tutorial/or info on the proper way to use AFCADs ....or....if there isn't any, would you please walk me thru the best way to do it?Thanks,Mike

Hi all:I'm an avid FS user (over 23 years) and fly FS2004 (under WinXP SP3) using lots of GoFlight hardware, 4 monitors using TH2G and (sometimes TrackIR) flying GA aircraft mostly (especially the CitX - Eaglesoft version, Pilatus PC-12, Carenado C182 and PA Seneca, PMDG B1900, and the Beech Super King Air 200). I have many of FlyTampa's airports, several ImagineSim airports, FSDreamTeam airports, and use UT, GEPro, Ultimate Traffic, AES, Flight Environment etc. I am now very interested in adding a few more airports in areas that I usually don't fly in....specifically Fly Tampa's St. Maartans and Kai Tak. I have perused many forums on these and it is obvious that ot…

THis is now on the Avsim Forum main page:"British Airports for FS2004 have been available in boxed format for many years and have proved a must have for many FS users. We have now made these great-value packages available in download format." These scenery packages were developed by UK airport specialist Gary Summons - originally for FS2002 & FS2004 - and provide a great selection of airports in each area, ranging from small local airfields to international airports such as Stansted, Manchester & Heathrow.Volumes 1 & 2 - East & South-East England (61 airports)Volumes 3 & 4 - South, South-West & Central England (64 airports)Volumes 5 & 6 - Wales…

Hello guys,since POSKY model is much better than FT someone have tried to merge these two birds?Thank you

Is there a VFR photographic scenery for the UK for Fs2004? If there is I cannt find it ?? Thanks jerrycwo4

NOTE: Although this is a FS 8 question, I'm posting it here in the FS 9 forum for lack of a better location. :( Hello!I have a question to ask... I have installed a couple of aircraft that were 'FS 2002/ FS 2004' compatible, and for some reason when I load the sim, the A/C's engine(s) shut down and won't restart. Also, moving the throttle will not increase engine RPM's. Please note that prop trim/ mixture are not affected... the RPM's just won't increase on the tachometer.Anybody ever come across this? Here is one of the A/C in question:http://www.flightsim.com/kdl.php?fid=93064It's a B-17 Shark Fin (although in the description it's called a 'G' Model).Any help &…

Hi Guys,I need some help here... I keep getting an APU FAIL when I try to start the APU. What is that I am missing? I think of Boeing procedures 737... when flying this for the first time.Any considerations or something I might have missed?I went through the overhead and everything seems to be the way it should be.Thanks and best regards,J.

HiAfter long time using XP 32 bit with fs9 I decide to try XP64 bit OS.No difference between XP 32 and XP 64 regarding FS9.If You don't do 3Gb patch even on XP64 bit You will have OOM message.After patching fs9.exe to use >2Gb you won't have OOM (if you have solved memory leak, if You didn't solve memory leak it will happen sooner or later), but new problem arrives.After 3Gb patch I have more frequent CTD with g3d.dll. Never have it without patch.Because of fs9 limit to use <2gb even without memory leak You will have OOM for example complex scenery+complex a/c.I spend days trying to find the cause of CTD on route LDZA-EGLL, near EBBR (Aerosoft), no progress.CTD with…

I know this is paint related but it is really urgent!I have just edited a tail on a 777-200 and when I open FSREPAINT all my other edited fuselage is ok except from the tail! It just looks like bare metal! Any ideas?

Hi.I have an older rig now, and untill I can get it together for an up-grade I was thinking about something.I have been given 4 Gigs of DDR RAM, and although my machine has 2 Gigs in there right now, one of them is bad. So I thought about ripping them both out and putting in the two sticks of 2GB.Has anyone else done this? did it do anything for FS at all?I know that Win XP Pro 32Bit won't see it all, aparently it will see 3.25 G. But what the heck it's here so I might as well use it.Just curious.Thanks for any insight.

For some reason lately iv been seenin my old default AI commerical traffic show up with my WOAI traffic at certain airports. The default trafficXXXXX.bgl isnt in my scenery library anymore either. Any thoughts?
