The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

I'm considering getting an iMac and was wondering if MS Flight Simulator works on it. I'm sure this has been covered somewhere on the forum but I couldn't locate it.Any and all input, advice, thoughts, etc. is [email protected]

nevermind. my mistake.db.

For the first time I'm installing VOZ 1.8 and actually piece mealing everything in to FS9. That way I can be sure of what it's doing and why. I didn't point the installer to my actual FS9 install but to a temporary folder. So if the installer was supposed to be deleting and moving things around on my behalf, I didn't let it happen.One issue I've run into is with the original FS9 "Scenery\Cities\Sydney\Texture" folder. There are 25 duplicated textures and 5 duplicated agn files which VOZ places in the "Scenery\World\texture" folder.The bitmaps are different in each location but the file names are the same. Anyone know if I should disable the original FS9 Sydney folder or l…

Dear Simmers,Ok Finally after reading your advices also read some posts, I decided to go for Windows 7 Ultimate ( As I'm fomatting my PC). Now my question is shall I go for the 64 Bit or 32 Bit? As I really need to make 100% use of my PCMy specs are Intel Core 2 Quad, Asus P5NT-Deluxe Mobo, BFG 8800 GTX OC, 150 GB WD HD,Sound Blaster Xfi fatality pro, 4 GB RAM.I'm awaiting your answers :)Regards,Cpt Zammit

When selecting the Active runway at Kai Tak at sim start up, the AC is slightly off angle to the runway center line. I suspected this might have had something to do with the AFCAD, but after changing the degree heading in runway properties, the AC (any AC) is still off center to the centerline. Is there another setting that needs to be changed? BTW, the AFCAD is the "Randomized" one from 9Dragons as is the complete 9Dragons scenery.Thx

I just read a post where someone was explaining the Scenery Library's numbering system in Fs2004 and stated the following: "The number is the scenery priority as shown in the scenery library (bigger number = higher priority"I always thought that in the numbering system of the scenery library that the LOWER the number the HIGHER the priority; e.g. scenery #2 has a HIGHER priority that scenery #6. Have I been wrong all of these years? Being right or wrong does NOT mean anything to me. I just want to know what is correct. example: I thought that the entry, "Alaska Glaicer Bay Scenery", #2 had a HIGHER priority than "Misty Fjords Scenery", #6 which would mean that the BI…

Hi all,For a while I've been getting a strange problem where the wrong heading is being displayed on my aircraft. E.g. I'll be lined up on runway 18, but my aircraft might be showing a heading of 240. I've tried a variety of aircraft, default and add on, and the problem prevails. The problem also exists in different geographic areas and i don't think it started when i added any scenery. Really confused so any help would be appreciated. My system specs are below. Many thanks,KevIntel E86004gb RAMNvidia 9800GTVista 64bitfs9.1Active Sky Advanced (problem still happens when not using ASA)

Are there any replacement wheel textures for overland 777? Like the POSKY 777 ones? I don't really like the overland wheels, they look unreal.Please reply

I've got a Project Open Sky 777-200, and I'm trying to move the opensky_conden.fx effect. I want to move the effect origin point back and up slightly. However, no matter what I do, I cannot get the origin point to move further than a certain point, which isn't quite far enough. Is there a reason for this, and a way around it? I'm editing the [smokesystem] entry in the airplane's .cfg file using wordpad, in the coordinates area. I can put huge values in and yet the origin point will not move any further up or back on the model.

Finally, it's there. I'll get it once I have money, because I love these old birds!http://secure.simmarket.com/sky-simulation...-9-fs2004.phtml

Hi,I have a strange & persisting issue with Wilco's 737 PIC. While FS2004 (or FS9 - whatever) runs very smoothly on my Vista-32 machine, when using the 737 PIC the framerates seem to cycle: for example, setting the max frame rate at 28 fps, the actual fps alternates between 17 and 28. Setting the max frame at 17, fps alternates between 8 and 17 etc. This causes a stuttering sensation in the outside views which is annoying at best...All 'standard' aircraft run very smooth, fps up to 60 even. I have tinkered with all kinds of settings, both in FS9 and the 737 PIC set up - does anyone else experience this problem and know how to fix it??

First of all: ProFlight2000 / PFE works just great by itself on either a primary or secondary computer through WideFS6 for FS9, or WideFS7 for FSX. If you don't require voice recognition, to my knowledge there is no issue and I highly recommend this offering. If you desire voice recognition, the combination of ProFlight2000/PFE and GameCommander2 has worked great for me ever since it was made available (On my previous 32 bit system). With an upgrade to 64 bit, I have had to jump through a few hoops, but more than worth it to me personally.My goal was to have PF2000/PFE and GameCommander2 operate on my secondary computer for voice recognition. I found that it would not wor…

HelloAlthough $51 seems quite high, you do get the entire DC-9 range with freighter variants as wellThe DC9-30 and DC-9-51 are different enough in the cockpit that they arguably could have split themup as separate products at $25 each.The Flight1 Iron Knuckles is still $24.95 and that is for the DC9-30 only, which is a fs2002 aircraft ported over into FS9

Hi, I recently have not been able to load a flights in the Caribbean. Other areas seem fine. I have not added any software in the area recently since I have successfully flown there last.I do have Fly Tampa's TNCM, Imagine Sim's TJSJ, AES and various other scenery that has been installed for some time. Other Imagine Sim, Fly Tampa and AES Scenery load just fine. The last change I made was installing AES 2.03 and FSDT's KFLL - both add ons seem to be running fine. The crash happens after you press fly - at 15% when loading a flight at TNCM, TISX or TJSJ (those are the airports I tested), it reverts to the desk top with no error message. I checked the event viewer and it do…

HelloI've run into some strange behaviour with the in-built real weather in FS9, When I select download real weather updates from Jeppesen it does this okay then presents me with current weather for the weather station close to my airport. Its a H great perfect for flying. So I naturally accept and what do I discover on returning to my cockpit its overcast and pouring with rain, Yet the weather downloaded tells me its a H with clear skies and unlimited visability.???? Got me puzzled.Cheers :( :(

Hello,I have downloaded and installed Project Opensky's A330 v2 and 747-400 v4 series, and I've installed the Cathay Pacific textures for both. However, it really bothers me that in the game, if I request to taxi to a gate in either plane. I get sent off to some far away location which is actually labeled parking in AFCAD, as i checked.I've checked the aircraft.cfg, and the airline parking code is CPA for cathay, and i checked in AFCAD, the gates are CPA. or basically, this is part of my aircraft.cfg for my A330. But the thing is, the parking works fine for the AI Cathay Pacific planes. I checked their parking code, it's also CPA. I've even used an AI plane and requeste…

Hi there!As per the postdescription, I have this odd issue. it seems my effects get their texture replaced with "halo.bmp" if viewed from enough distance. this is no problem for lights, but when your black engine smoke turns to a bright star-treck-looking trail at night it is a bit more than a nuisance... why is this happening? I just ignored it until now, but is there any solution?

Any time that I start a flight from the active runway at FlyTampa's KSEA, it places my aircraft about 15 to 20ft from the runway center line. I went ahead and checked the start locations for all runways and they appear to be correct. I only have one Afcad which is the one distributed with the airport. What am I missing here...Mark

In flying jets, in normal operations, which engine is started first, 1 or 2? why? during what circumstances is it done the other way? what about in 4-engine aircraft? thanks,-j

Which one is better model? POSKY or Overland 777 series?As in more real...height of the ground of the wheels etc.Just waqnt your opinion(In real life do the last 2 wheels on a 777 main landing gear bogie move under 15kts like POSKY one?)

I have my profile in there, I have connected it to the FS9.exe - what else have I not done in order to have nHancer start automatically?ThanksNicholas

I was wondering what you all think is the best AI CRJ-200? In my opinion, its the AI Malcontent CRJ but for some reason, those files are all still missing. So until those are back online, what is the next best thing?Is there anywhere else to find those? I noticed the AI Malconent website is down and flightsim.com doesnt have many either.Thanks!

I have a question if anybody has a answer. During fs9, it get hesitation during the game. At the beginning when I taxi out and during desent especially, and sometimes it stop for two to four seconds before it works itself out. It seems like the video card or something is trying to catch up. I have a amd athlon 64 dual core 4200. 2.2gig. 3.4gig momery. sapphire hd 3850 8x agp, 512md gddr3. asus av8 deluxe mb. Appreciate any help!

What do I need to modify in my ini file to make the textures come into focus in a wider perimeter around my aircraft?Thanks
