The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

Hi All.I am wondering if anyone knows what could be causing this strange tile effect on the coast lines, I have not added any scenery lately etc.I'm running GE Pro and FE along with FS Global SE.Thanks for any help in advance.

Any other global mesh out there besides fs global. Ive searched the forums and the web but with no luck. Thanks

I've Googled this for an hour and can find nothing relevant (just the odd mention of the airport in blogs):http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q...earch&meta= - and half of those come with a warning that the site 'may harm your computer'!SPWT is (supposedly) Malvinas airport in Peru (not Falklands). I have a scenery for it on FS9, but the ICAO code of SPWT draws a blank online, and at all my known airport database sites. It's as if it doesn't exist - but it does, it's certianly there in Google Earth (S11 51 20 - W72 56 23).There's no default FS9 airport there, nor in FSX. Anyone able to find anything at all about this airport? I've never looked for an airport onl…

What does FS9 ATC "look at" to decide when to tell you to begin your descent? Is there a "hard number" for an aircraft's default vertical speed, written in one of it's files (.MDL, .AIR, .CFG, etc)? I occasionally have FS9 ATC ordering my descent much too late to be able to make the runway without popping every passenger's eardrums! What drives FS9's ATC to begin a descent when it does? Thanks!

To all FS2004 autopilot users:Ever since starting with FS2002, I've been frustrated by the way most autopilots capture a VOR radial, then overshoot from left to right for miles and miles. My alternative is to use heading hold and adjust as needed to stay on course. However, when the same overshoot problem occurs while capturing an ILS localizer, I didn't think there was any way to fix it.Then a thread of messages started here in late February and ended on March 4th. The subject, "FS9 Approach Capture Tweak", discussed some of these issues but never came to a conclusion that was shared with the forum. But something was suggested that I had never been aware of before. In FS…

Last night I loaded up a demo of Abacus EZ Scenery and after that loaded up a small airfield around the Seattle area to see if the demo worked good enough for me...well while loading it up after the field got to 19% terrain it stopped and a few seconds later I got an error stating that it was the Terrain.dll that caused the error so I tried another field and got the same thing. Iuninstalled ez scenery and tried it again and the same thing happened again.....the strange thing is this is only happening to areas from SFO North to YVR and BOI to the W-coast all other fields work fine...I have tried recycling the fs9.cfg and swaped out the Terrain.dll file as well with no posi…

I have just recently noticed (overnight really) that all digital readouts (i.e. autopilot display windows, radio frequency displays) have gone blank on almost all of my add on aircraft. I notice this on the CLS 747, Wilco 737 and PMDG 747F and maybe others I am yet to check. I am sure this is some kind of guage issue but seeing this across many different developers is very weird. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Bucslax

My disc 4 has developed a few cracks. I am unable to properly copy the disc as it is copy-protected..... What can I do? /Mats

Hello People,As most Airbus simmers like myself have seen in the project airbus website (www.pairbus.com), project airbus has announcedto seize operations and the making of the A380 and any further projects that were planned. B) All files will remain available for download and all repaints that have been done by other painters that are not officialy by project airbus.Their website will close soon but for now, the files archive can still be accessed.I would like to give a big thank you to project airbus for all their amazing A32X series. The A320, A319, and A318. I was hoping they would soon make the A321, but I can't hope for that anymore. Thank you project airbus for wha…

I am trying to install the 9.1 update but receive it freezes when it gets to the modules.Please see the attached photo.As far that I can check I have the original fs9. exe and modules in the main FS2004 folder which is on my "D" HD.Someone advice me to remove the files then run the CD 1 set up and try and find the repair which did not show up.Without this file I cannot download the add-on manager from FSDreamteam which needs the update.I used to be able to d/l their sceneries without this up-date the a couple of weeks ago all their scenery files changed at the same time & my Dreamteam Add-on Manager disappeared from the task bar in FS9.Please advice me how I can d/l …

Hello AllI like to think I am now a fairly competent simmer.No problems with ILS flights,using FSNav for flight planning and all the other bits and pieces of flying the passenger jets.I have as well got to grips with some of the more complex panels (Alain Capt MD11,The grabowski ERJ panel and recently the BAE panel project panel for the BAE 146 )so I am no novice.However I have just downloaded and installed the VAS freeware FMC that now comes as a ready installed version in the project airbus A 320( as well as there original stand alone version still available)Now I was sure I was beginning to get the hang of this flying malarkey what with all these complex panels and…

Hi All expertsI suddently observed a never before seen menu Item. It is possibel it has been there for some time without my notice. Se attached picture.Anyone knows what it is? :( RegardsHenrikGreenland

Good day FS9-er's.I have a slight problem with my setup. I have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick (on my left hand side) to operate Airbuses but it does not activate the ailerons or elevators. It does however activate the rudder. It sometimes activates the ailerons and elevators, for a split second but the control surfases become "centered" again, though I hold in a control surface command. It does this with all my AC add-on's, but it is most annoying with my Wilco Airbuses, as I dont fly them with a yoke (I also have Saitek yoke, rudder pedals and throttles).I had to wipe clean my FS9 installation and re-innstall everything again (because of other problems) and th…

I have an AFCAD file that has minimal taxiways. Can someone share the instuctions for modifying the file?thanksDom

Is it possible to kill the tooltip telling me my altimiter is set wrong? Tooltips are already turned off and since I fly with RC4 and mainly in Euroe, I don't need FS to constantly tell my I have my altimiter set wrong. It does that since FS uses the US setting of FL180 to set the altimiter to 1013/29.92.In Europe that setting is different, event between countries.

Somtimes when I am flying in a 2d cockpit, I mouseclick the view menu to set the front view to .70 which I use on final approach. Can anyone tell me how I can set this permanently in fs9.ThanksPaul

Hi,I recently migrated to brand new system i7-920, 6GB RAM, 8800GT/512, Viewsonic 24' monitor with 1900x1080 resolution and Vista Ultimate 64bit. While overall performance is fine, I'm constantly receiving MSVCR70.dll error and subsequent CTD with LevelD especially during ground preparation and taxit for TO.I found this dll file in root FS2004 folder and according to advices from AVSIM.com forum, I moved this file (together with MSVCP70) into both System 32 and sysWOW64 folders in VISTA64.Nevertheless, I'm still experiencing this MSVCR70.dll errors especially during switching views from Spot to 2D and VC almost everytime with LevelD 767, occassionally with PMDG747 and nev…

Hi; Can i use FE, GE Pro and REP without any conflicts. Like them all and would like to see them together. Thanks for any help.

Simple, just freezes my fs and forces me to shut down my fs.It happens when I try to open panel via ALT fs menu. Will it help if I install the icon for it on the panel?Please reply, need help, no-one read my earlier post on this.

Hi, can anyone advise me of the easy way to remove gary summons static aircraft? I have used the uk2000 setup programme, but they just come back. Is it the bgl in uk2000 scenery files that I need to remove, the ones with stat in the lines. Is it better to just rename them, or place them in another folder?many thanks

Anybody using AirHauler? Any good?

http://www.digital-aviation.de/site/?page_id=22http://www.digital-aviation.de/site/For those who doubted the development of the DA CRJ, well, it's being worked on as hinted in a couple PMDG threads a while back. I'm very excited for this plane and it looks to be for FS9 and FSX. I only care about FS9 myself, so I hope that platform is still supported in the end.I hadn't seen anyone comment on this, but I wanted to make sure everyone knew so they could keep up with it. I don't know why they opted to put the Fokker before the CRJ, however, I'm just happy the CRJ is coming. This will surely outsell the Fokker, even though the Fokker looks amazing and the two DA products …

I have seen an option for vertical air movement in Active Sky 6.5 which is enabled. Then I loaded a flight in FS9 with the F1 C172 taking of from rwy 9 at TNCM Juliana airport. This took me over some hills shortly after takeoff and than later I reached some clouds. Than I did the same in FSX with the same plane but with FSX built in realtime weather instead of Active Sky and again over the same hills and than later into some clouds. The comparison yielded this conclusion.Yes turbulence and vertical air movement is indeed different in FSX compared to FS9. In FSX I first noted that there was more of turbulence and I encountered it directly after takeoff. Than when passing o…

Hi all I felt this needed a thread for those that might be looking for there hometown airport or in airport that they would have liked to see in fs but didn't know about there developments, from other websites. here's my list so far please add to any scenery development going on that is not listed here for others to check out. ;)Philadelphia Int'l airport scenery for FSX and FS9 http://www.sunskyjet.com/index.php?action=sceneriesLas Vegas KLAS http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?board=17.0SLC Int'l Airport for FS2004/X http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11679Dublin airport http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6695Halifax Air…

I downloaded and installed "gap_mega_kerkyra_2009_255849.zip" from here, and I'm positive it's installed correctly.When I start at this airport, all of the textures on the island are blurry, including default planes, autogen, and the actual ground. The only things that are crisp are add-on AI and the runway, terminal textures. I suspect this has something to do with the way fs9 prioritizes with resources....Does this sound plausible: the game is being overwhelmed by all of the extra buildings, etc. that come with the scenery, devoting most of the GPU power to them, and then treating default textures as a last priority and leaving them blurry? When I first start the flight…
