Hi all I have posted and got help before about this problem but I have lost the fix for it. I think it was Mark that helped me and it was a while ago too. The problem is...Arrow down Icon brings up Electrical Panel instead of the Pushback control box. Hope somebody can help. Thanks in advance...............John

Hi guys,For some reason before, when having my joystick throttle at idle thrust, N1 would always be around 18 or 17. No it's above 20 when having idle thrust, and this does not make any sense. :( I checked the control panel on my joystick and it seems to work fine. I don't understand why this is happening. Never happened before :(could it have to do with FSUIPC?Thanks and best regards,James W.

I've been having this problem for a while and it's driving me crazy-In the menu settings, there is an option that says something like "pause task on exit" or something like that. Whenever I right click or open up a menu, the screen goes black for a second and then comes back. While that menu is open, the game pauses. This happens even when the above option is unchecked. When I close the menu, I get the black stutter, and then the game continues. Why does the game keep pausing and stuttering whenever I open a menu? It happens for anything- overhead menu, right-click menu, and the kneeboard. Anyone have any ideas?Second, does anyone know how to have the overhead menu up whe…

A few months ago the website went back under construction and now the forums are gone.What happened to them?Link: http://nextlevel.wepax.com/

hey guys,does anyone know a good FS9 scenery for Toronto

Folks. I know that Corey Ford's CS 757 repaints vanished with the database here on avsim. Apparently, he's deleted all CS repaints from his PC, so I was hoping that one of you out there has both repaints and is willing to email them to me.Thanks in advance.Steffen

After installing all of my AES ( Airport Enhancement Service) airports to a new computer I was given a new choice that I had never seen before. I have been using AES ever since it came out a few years ago. After installing Imagine Simulations New Orleans (KMSY) airport I gave it a try with my Level-D 767. Right after I had picked the gate that I wanted to be led too, I was given a choice that I had never seen before:Activate Push Into PositionF1. Select PUSH into positionF2. Select normal TAXI into postionWhere in the world did this come from????? I had already installed and tried AES "equipted" airports, KSEA, KPDX, KSFO, KSAN, KJFK, KBOS and KDEN. None of these e…

Just to let everyone know: Historic Jetliners Group issued their summer update yesterday. Includes many new textures for most of the aircraft, and panel/FDE updates for the 727's among other items. www.simviation.com/hjg Mike

Just checking...I have some scenery, (that was an after thought), in MegaScenery's PNW. I'd like to find something a bit more enhanced if possible. Also, there is a lot of scenery at the Canadian border like the "Peace Arch" that would be kind of cool to have. Many of you fly high and fast but some of us like to use "Dead Reckoning" to travel :)Anyway, if you do happen to come across this scenery do give a holler...some of us might actually want it!Mark

Hi everyone,I am trying to figure out a way to make floatplanes perform more realistically on the water. It seems with the default FS9 settings that I am attempting to taxi, takeoff or land on wet cement instead of water. In reality, if a floatplane is not tied up and the engine is running, it will move forward and always try to weathercock into the wind. In FS9, a large amount of power needs to be added to get a plane moving on the water, and it is virtually impossible to maintain a normal taxi speed....it's either you're stopped, or you going too fast. Is there a water friction setting or similar somewhere in the .cfg file that will make water more "slippery"? I'd appre…

Just wondering if anyone else getting issues with lack of response from Active Camera? After having to reinstall my hard disc sent them an activation request on saturday and to date no response.Appreciate feedback. May be holidays but they say response usually next day at the latest. If necessary will change to Walk and Follow as had AC few years nowJohn

Hey I tried to install some of the skin packs for the FSS Saab 340 1.1, but the repaints aren't showing up in the choose aircraft menu. All I see are the default liveries and not the ones I installed. I followed the directions, but I got nowhere!

To use the program, FS2Crew Level-D 767, one of the requirements is that you have "service pack 3 or later" installed. I have just reinstalled the Level-D 767-300 into a new computer and dont remeber what version it was or if it had any service pack(s) installed. How can I tell what version it is and what service packs have been installed on my Level-D 767? Thanks jerrycwo4PS I'm also looking for a checklist tor my version 1.7 of Flight Deck Companion (FDC) to be installed. The one I made myself is not very good or complete.

Hey!I've installed a scenery of Ljublijana which I downloaded from Flightsim.com. ( scenery name is LJLJ2007.zip )Inside that zip, there is another zip containing 3 jetway sceneries ( jetwaybn - jetwaygy - jetwaywh ) each of them containing 1 bgl and a few texture files.I've never played with jetways in airports.Who can explain me what I must do and how these things work, because there is almost no explanation inside, so I don't know how te install nor to use...GreetzJive1

Hello! I have recently been souping up the Killeen, TX airport (KGRK) and trying to make it look like what it looks like in real life (it is empty on FS).And anyways, in real life there in a large hill that is right next to the airport and on the game it is all flat around the airport. Can you please tell me how to create a simple hill or give me links that can get me started?Thanks! Btw, my OS is Vista (if that means anything) and I am trying to create this hill for FS2004.

Now that FSX has been out for some time, is there anyone keeping the nav data up for fs2004? I'm looking for USA stuff only.

Just throwin' it out there...Does anyone happen to have the MC-130P repaint for the Captain Sim C-130? Or does anyone know where I can find it other than the CS website which directs you to AVSIM's file library...Thanks everyone!!

i am transferring FS9 to another PC. This has a Radeon 9800XT.0 video card. The PC is home-built and all I know is that it's an AMD XP3200+ 2.21 GHz with 1 Gig of RAM.I'm getting 60 fps with the dlider set to unlimited with the stock C182 and UK VFR secnery. I'd not too happy with the quality of the display and would welcome adcive on settings for the card and for FS9.

hey guys, I looked this up in the search, but the answers given did not make sense. The issue: When on final (usually very short) I get a trim runaway condition. It happened today on short final into DEN in the MD-11. I am flying a visual for rwy 07 when at about 200 ft, I get a "stabilizer motion" followed by a consistent and sudden nose down pitch. I was able to easily recover given my already nose high trim/pitch. This has only happened twice before. Once in the A320, and once in the 757. Answers given in previous posts, and my rebuttals to said answers:A stall: Just not the case. Especially when the airspeed is being controlled by the autothrottle. Someb…

Hi everyone

Hi guys, I upgraded my Vista to Win7 recently, and after the update I can hear no sounds when in external view (looking at the airplane from outside). From the cockpit I can hear all sounds perfectly. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?Thank you.

Looking to add the home of Airbus to my FS9....anyone know of either freeware or payware.ThanksRandy

I am having trouble with fs9 not seeing some parts of my keyboard. I tried changing keyboards but it will recognize some keys but not others any ideas would be greatly appreciated. PS I am pretty lame with computers so please walk me thru any fixes. Thanks in advance. Fly on

So through all of the tweaks and the endless hours of forgetting what you installed last, sometimes its all worth it...I run in 1920x1200 so this shot is pretty small :) MarkOh, by the way Shez rocks...

Ok FS9 is not seeing some keys during flight. Every key works fine in all other programs. For instance it does not see ctrl shift enter but sees p. I am sure I screwed something up I was in the aircraft config editor turning off glare for the just flight C130 any ideas
