Hi!Is there any way to "rename" the Aircraft folder by changing some parameter in FS9.cfg or in the shortcut for FS9.exe, so that when FS9 starts it will use a folder called "Aircraft 2" instead of the regular "Aircraft"?Also, is it possible to do the same with the scenery.cfg, i.e. to make FS9 read a file called "scenery2.cfg" instead of the normal one?Cheers!/ Markus

Hey guys, unknown whether this topic has been brought up before. I recently installed a clean install of fs9.1 and installed some of my addon scenery. I then installed Flightscenery KPDX and Flytampa KSEA. I also have ultimate terrain and have installed the UT patch. I now get a CTD upon loading either KSEA or KPDX. I have never run into this problem before with other re-installations. The FlightZone website is down, so I thought I would try my luck here. If anyone can help or knows a fix for this problem I would be very thankful.L.P

I flew into CYYJ last night and asked the stock FS9 ATC to direct me to parking, not to the stand. I turned on the progressive taxi and followed it to where ATC wanted me to park. I pulled my aircraft into the parking spot and the little pink arrow disappeared, or so I thought. So I then setup my aircraft to fly to CYVR. When I opened the window to ask for taxi clearance the ATC text still had "Turn Off Progressive Taxi" displayed. I taxied my aircraft forward about 15 feet and the progressive taxi arrow appeared again! Now this happens periodically and at different airports and was wondering if anyone knows why and how to fix it. The main issue being that you cannot rec…

When on final and I move the rudder the nose whell also moves, how do i stop this? Overland 777 and possibly others-not sure- (I mostly fly 777)

I've searched the forum (although I'm not too good at it!) but couldn't find anything to help with a strange FS9.1 problem. One of my airports, Liverpool, UK (EGGP) has disappeared. It is a pure stock airport, I don't even have an AFCAD for it.If I fly to the area I can see the flattened tiles where it should be but there is nothing else. It seems to me that the bgl file for the airport has become corrupted but my problem is which one? I know some of you understand the numbering/allocation of these files so wondered whether you could advise me please? Thanks.Iain Smith

Hello all,I've just downloaded a very nice set of "high definition" clouds by Pablo Diaz off of http://www.escuadron69.net/v20/foro/index.php?They are great looking, but I'm having problems when certain clouds pass in front of one another. It seems that certain clouds are more transparent than others, and the cloud appears behind a cloud in the distance, although it is passing by me faster (since it is closer to the aircraft). The effect is hard to describe, but it makes farther clouds look like they are closer than the clouds right near the aircraft. I'm chalking it up to a transparency issue, but was wondering if there was a solution?

Hello all,I'm running a brand new system but have noticed a sound problem that's been bugging me the past few flights in FS9. It seems like at unpredictible configurations and intervals, my engine sounds will begin crackling (almost like a screw rattling against some plastic). Adjusting the FS sound quality does not make a difference but all of my other sounds are just fine...packs/AC, seatbelt signs, alarms, etc. Switching the view to VC or external removes the problem but switching back to 2d brings it right back.I run i7 975 @ 3.33 GHz|6.00 GB RAM|Vista Home Premium 64-bit SP1|ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 with a Creative SB X-Fi sound card (my drivers should be up-to-date)…

Dear Simmers,Just 1 question. Yesterday I installed AES v2 for fs9 but I think I might have a problem. The thing is that I can hear sounds like " Blocks in position or please release parking brake etc) however I can't hear the sound of the moving vehicles neither boarding / de boarding environment sounds/ jetty warning + others :(Have anyone met with this problem before? if yes are there any fixes available?I thank you in advance :)Regards,Bus Driver

I've been thinking about adding this bird to my FS9 since their 2.2 patch was release. I know for 10 euros I can just buy it and try. But there are two things I don't like about getting a plane that I don't end up being happy with. One is to figure out how to completely remove it. (yet I am obsessed with keeping my FS clean). And two is the tweaking if I decide to keep it, like what I did with the Carenado Arrow. I ended up completely redoing the CFG and AIR files.So for those who are flying the 757, please kindly offer some of your opinions, among which showstoppers are most appreciated.Thanks!

Hi,I was just wondering if anyone knows of a way to export all customized keyboard/yoke assignments? My yoke for some reason was cleared of all assignments randomly so I had to re-do all of them, was just hoping there is a way to save them in case it happens again!Thanks,Matt

HiI'm interested in buying Majestic Dash Q300 Pilot Edition.I'm confused, because I think I read somewhere that VNAV is not simulated?!Can somebody confirm that.If this is the case, this addon is to expensive and basic FMS function is not simulated.ThanksEdin

Presently for my weather I use FSMeteo for FS9 and the FSX default weather for FSX. In the past I also used Cris Clouds in FS9 but since my curent upgrade to an i7 975 CPU and 64 bit system did not reinstall them. I have debated upgrading to Active Sky for years but have really never been too picky or critical relative to clouds so I have procrastinated (Something I am very good at). However, particularly with my new system one item does bug me. My home area is in West Virginia and particularly during this time of year there are a multitude of low level clouds hanging in between the mountains. The thing I don't like is that under these conditions, the clouds below make i…

Hi allI have a problem especially at London Heathrow.I have FS9 installed as well as British Airports and VFR Photographic Scenery UK.Once I install the EGLL Mega Airport some buildings are to close to the taxiway as well as most of the taxy name boxes and runway boxes are actually on the taxiway itself. I also do get this at Frankfurt airport.Does anyone have an idea what is happening here. Which of the installed software should I get rid off. Or can this be solved in another way.Thx for any suggestions Ian

Hi all the frist screen shots of Vhhh have been put up by imagnasim go check it out, :) http://www.imaginesim.com/future01.htm :(

Dear Simmers :)Just one question for you. I am running fs9 under Windows 7 and I must say that it's running very smooth. I locked it to 30 fps and for me it's enough to run it like that,however when i tried to set it to unlimited the fps jumed between 60 -70 fps. So my question is what is best? to leave the sim locked or set to unlimited?I look forward to hear from you Regards,Cpt ZammitSpecs - Intel Core 2Quad, BFG 8800 GTX OC, WD 150 GB HD, Creavtive SB Fatality Pro.

For a while now I've had problems with stuttering on FS9. I have an HP laptop with these specs:Intel Core Duo T5750 @ 2ghz (I realize this could be bringing me down)3 GB RamVista 32 Geforce 8600M GSMy performance in clouds and at complex airports suck. I'm in the process of downloading vista SP2 and defragging and the whole works. Is it true that with vista 32 that I can only use 2 gb per app or RAM? If so is there a workaround for this? What are some other tips and tweaks I can do to help with my performance?

They're not online or is it because I'm in OZ and they're doing early morning backups?Mark

Hi!In the Tunis scenery by FsNaBisso the cars are used as aircraft in the FS folder. Without a sound folder the cars sounds like a Cessna 172 due to the linkage in FS. I did download a car soundpack. But it

Hi I also posted this in the pain forum, but seeing as how there is more traffic here I thought I'd fish here also. I have a couple helicopters that I fly that have reflective windows and because of that I can't see the AI helicopters from the Heli Traffic 2009 program. Long story short, I've been told that if I change the Alpha texture for the windows to zero or if I paint them white and get full transperancy it should solve the problem. So I did a little research and found out I needed DXTbmp to open the textures and then an editor like photoshop to tweak the texture. I have photoshop 7.0 and I went and got DXTbmp. So last night I fired both programs up and I got the t…

Hi. I do like my PMDG aircraft but know from bitter experience that when flying from busy airports like EGLL to other busy airports like LFPG (both 'heavy' payware addons on my setup) my little system resource LCD is likely to show a very heavy drain, sometimes leading to an out of memory error on touchdown. I have to be very careful not to swap views too much, especially with AS6, UTraffic, UTerrain etc. etc. taking up a sizeable chunk of memory themselves..I've also noticed for a long time that if you choose to save the flight, so that the screen goes black for a while, you can get at least 5% of the system resources back (drop from say 85% used to 80% used, which can m…

Hi, I've got a problem with my Saitek X52 Joystick.....before everyone yells 'whoopee' :( A couple of days ago I thought I'd tune up the up and down trim buttons, which are located on the top right of the j/s! That was where it all went pear shaped! Because I went to Fs9/assignments and deleted the existing button assignment shown. Since then I've not been able to use those two buttonsI Those buttons are ex buttons, dead, not useable!! :( I would appreciate it is someone could help me bring them back to life; hopefully not involving re-installing?Ken

Has anyone seen a decent AI T-28 Trojan? I have Tim Conrad's T-28 which is a flyable aircraft but would like to find a strictly AI version. Please advise and thanks!Mark
