The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

For some reason I never did purchase Aerosoft's Lukla scenery. Is there anywhere where I can still buy this scenery (the FS9 version)?

Hi all, Does anyone know where I can download the above AI repaint? Looked in the library here and a few other places, but no luck. Thanks in advance. J.C.

I just bought the heli-development as350 and took it for a test flight and I noticed that none of the models have the rescue basket on the side of the helicopter. I see in the screenshots that there is a model that has the rescue basket. How come the rescue basket is not showing in my sim on any of the helicopters?

Help the main panel on my fs9 only functions if I undock the ouside view, virtual cockpit functions perfectly ! Nick

I have recently downloaded the Calgary CanUK scenery for FS9 and would like to pay to unlock the demo version. Does anyone know how to get ahold of any one at CanUK? Thank you, R Jones

Does anyone know where I can download this livery? I have looked all over both Avsim's library, and Flightsim.com's library and have had zero luck. I only have a image of the livery, but no file. Please reply if you happen to have the file or know where I can go to download it has got to be my no.1 favorite livery of all time for this aircraft. All that I know is that it allegedly was for the FS2004/FSX version of the TDS Boeing 727-100. Beyond that, I have no other clue about it. I have posted this on flightsim.com's FS2004 forums, but unsurprisingly, have received no help. I am hoping that my experience with Avsim's forums will be different. https://www.fl…

Am having a problem when I open my 2004 in my win 7 laptop. The screen flickers a bit and then comes up with a picture that only covers about half the screen and seems to be a very blown up view of the control panel where one would go to make changes to the picture. Cannot get out of this screen and must shut down the computer to get rid of it.

I have FS2004. The Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 stopped working & it's been replaced with a AMD 8GB Sapphire Radeon RX 570 NITRO+ graphics card. FS9 doesn't recognise it & I don't know what to do. As it stands, I cannot get it to go full screen, & in the scenery window terrain & water effects are grey. In Hardware the device name is empty & the rendering section is greyed out as is the case in cloud detail in weather. I've searched the web for help but saw nothing to help me, except to get the latest AMD drivers which I've done but that doesn't work. I'd be grateful if someone can suggest a solution. Thanks, Terry Wallis.

I've followed the instructions on NVidia's website to connect the HDMI output on my GTX 560 Ti card to the HDMI input on my monitor. The picture quality is significantly worse than using the standard VGA connection which is very disappointing as I have read that HDMI is so much better than VGA. Has anyone else had the same experience as me? Many thanks for any comments. Dijvid

UK2000 have just released Norwich Airport EGSH. Dijvid

Okay, I am absolutely stumped on this one. I have been downloading and installing new aircraft almost as long as I have been doing flight sims, and have had few problems and none that couldn't be resolved, until now. They have worked through last year, but my first attempts to download new aircraft this year failed because of a failure of the .air files to install. I get an error message saying the installer is broken and I should download a new one from the source. The source is Adobe and the installer is the Adobe .AIR Installer. I have downloaded, unzipped and loaded this program and still cannot get new aircraft to install and still get the same message. I c…

I am still grounded - 4 months now - having been updated to Windows 10 from 7 and unable to run FS9. I have uninstalled and re-installed from my disks 8 times now in the order install, add FS9.1 update, copy no-cd to FS9.exe file. I have an icon on screen but when I click on it I am told the following files are missing MSVCR 70.dll MSVRCP70.dll MFC70.dll What am I doing wrong? I would add that I have deleted every file and aircraft that was not part of the original FS9 disks. How do I check that I have the latest video card updates for my computer? Thanks in advance for your help. Exasperated.

Hello guys! I'm trying to fit condensation effects (from FSFX Immersion - I have licensed product) on the wing of my Posky/PSS 777 merge. The problem is that when I'm using the airplane with its panel (PSS), the effects don't appear. When I remove the panel, the effects appears. Does anyone have any idea why this happens? Thanks in advance. Cláudio

Not the usual AVSIM fare, RAF Gutersloh is a fest of fine modelling from Airfield Construction Group members Manfred Schyma and Pete Beeby. Concurrently, John Young has released a Harrier AI pack to complement the static scenery This was a frontline NATO base of a previous era. It was closed on the day this scenery was released! FS9 has never looked better... files are over at flightsim.com

I noticed that my POSKY Boeing 737-900 does not produce the "light glow effect" on the taxi way. The landing lights glow effrect shows up fine and the taxi light does appear on the aircraft when turned on, but the taxi way remains dark. Anybody recall a solution for this?

Hi Folks, Just wanted to ask you something about a strange behavior I regognize since some time. I keep my upper framerate locked in FS9 by tuning it to 30fps in the settings. But, after one or maybe a few flights, FS9 tunes the target frame rate by itself to lets say 29, or 28. Changing it back to 30 does the job, but the next time I start FS9......... and so on. This is not a huge problem but it annoys me because I'd like to keep these 30fps for V-Sync reasons. Any ideas? Thank you & regards Sebastian

Several people have commented to me that their aircraft preview window has returned in both windowed and full-screen modes of fs9. This is because the new Creator Edition of Windows 10 has become available recently. The return of the aircraft preview is somehow linked to that update. Not a big deal, but better than a kick in the teeth. By the way, I have not experienced any negative effects on fs9 since I installed the update.

Hey! I'm re-installing my FS2004 system, and I see that many of the sceneries don't show the right coastlines, e.g. some islands of the Caribean just show tiles, squares, and not the real coastlines... How can I make these coastlines correct? Greetz Jive1 - Belgium

This freeware "Harrier Hides" add-on for the fabulous RAF Gutersloh (ETUO) scenery is now available for download from the library. I am interested in user comments, as I have not been able to getting working AI traffic at either of the two hides provided in the package. The detail in the hides is incredible and changes with the time of year, as the hides were only operational in the summer months. Because of the this the assembly and disassembly of the temporary operational areas is depicted during certain dates. Your feedback on the installation and operations of this remarkable add-on would be appreciated.

Hello Folks! Is there any tutorial regarding converting effects or any texture from FSX to FS2004? Wich programs can I use to convert textures? I have Gimp2 and DXTBmp.

Hi everybody I have been an avid fs2004 user for many years and used a fantastic utility called FSHOTFX which worked fine when using windows xp but when I upgraded to windows 8.1 it no longer works. Well I have tried to get FSHOTFX to work and have had some success using Virtual windows called VM Ware after installing windows xp into the virtual windows, but the problem that I am having is that FSHOTFX runs and loads but cannot see fs9 in the host pc outside virtual windows xp. Now if the virtual windows xp becomes associated to the Microsoft flight simulator folder on the host pc running windows 8.1 then I feel that that we have cracked the problem of FSHOTFX not workin…
