The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

Hello,New to these forums, so please be easy on me if the question has been asked a gillion bazillion times! I tried to search for it ahead of time, so please forgive me!!! :( So, I got a new rig, with all the bells and whistles, and Vista. Slapped in FSX and I am ok with it. However, I have so many add ons with FS 2004, I am thinking about adding FS 2004 back. I know Vista will work with FS 2004, but I wonder about all my add ons. I have: MegaScenery USA 2004 for Microsoft Flight Simulator Volume 3PMDG Boeing 737 NG 600/700 Flight 1 Ultimate Traffic Iron Knuckles DC-9PC Aviator Mega City USA 2005 San FranciscoPSS Dash 8-300Oh yeah, and PMDG B1900So will any of the above …

I recently installed megascenery southern california V2 and it appears that all the gates and other surrounding objects for KSAN are now missing. I found that if I deactivate the SOCobjects folder, KSAN returns to what I had before. I renamed the KSAN file in the SOCobjects folder hoping that it was the culprit, but it was not the problem. Now I am confused! What file or file(s) are causing the problem? Should I just deactivate the whole SOCobjects folder? Is this a priority issue?Thanks for any help or suggestions! :( Airbus

Hello AllI'm using a 32" monitor as my primary display and two identical 19" monitors for the PFD/ND displays. I would like to use full screen mode (alt + enter) but when I do this the two 19" monitors display blurry images.I have been told this is an FS issue but I don't personally know.If anybody has any suggestions they would be gratefully recieved.Thank you.

Hi im new here and i need some help with my ai traffic.I am trying to update my ai traffic using WOAI. So i want to replace some of my current airlines to the new WOAI textures and flightplans. The firsthing i did was use AI traffic mover and remove my current flightplans. Then i removed my current airline textures so it wont waste space on my hard drive. When i start up at a airport i see the new WOAI traffics i just put in but i still see my old airline but there are no textures on it. It is just a gray plane. How do i remove that gray plane?Thanks

Hey folks,I'm having a hard time deciding what to install. I already have quite a variety of aircraft which I am very pleased. Boeing heavies from Project Opensky, Airbus heavies from CLS, A319 from Project Airbus, 737-3/4/500 from 50North 737NG from Project Opensky, Regional Jets from Project Opensky, etc....My preferences is something between Freeware and PMDG quality. I love changing views during flight to wing view so (dynamic) flexing wings is very important. Apart from the 737-3/4/500 from 50N (which I currently can live with without) all my aircraft have dynamic flexing wings and I'm sure you'll agree decent FDE. Now I prefer to get a good mix of great visual (incl…

I've always thought that Mesh layers should be below any other addons, followed by Landclass layers, followed by the Scenery (airports, object, etc) layers.Recently I read in the documentation of a New Zealand addon (don't recall which one) that Mesh should always be on top!Now I'm confused :( So; is there a optimal order that needs to be adhered to in the Scenery Library and if so, what should it be?Thanks for your help.Best regards,Frank

I recently downloaded this file and installed in FS9 following the instructions provided.When I start FS2004 the program finds the airplane but when I press "fly now", FS2004 hangs up and eventually reports an error and shuts down.I have already installed FS9 update.Does any body have had this experience with this airplane?I will thank any help.Thanks.Jorge

Does anyone know when the SWA SI paint scheme plane is coming out and not the AI plane .

Hi Everyone,I'm taking a break from FSX and enjoying flying some of my old favorites in FS9. One of these is the FSD Aerostar, but for some reason, I can't get the pressurization to work. Air valves on, cabin door sealed, rate set, but the cabin pressure climbs past the selected altitude, right with the aircraft altitude. I'm not getting the warning light on the panel above 10,000 ft, just the gauges indicate no pressure. I did install the update FSD provided last April, but no change to the pressurization.I checked the FSD support forum, and others are having the problem also, but the best FSD came up with is to follow the checklist (I did). Has anyone on this forum had …

Hey there!Yesterday i decided to install a new mesh for the portuguese territory and while doing a short test flight, descending on to my destination the terrain textures instantly turned to an extremely low definition mess that reminded me of the 486 era.I disabled all the potentially incompatible sceneries and this didn't solve the problem, so i went ahead and started messing with my display settings.I finally managed to solve the texture problems by resetting everything to the default settings and then trying to apply the same setting i think i had before.However after doing this the color became terrible. Looks as though FS is running through one of those old 256 colo…

Hello; when using any add-on scenery should Dynamic scenery always be checked in fs9. Thanks ,David

Hi,in my FS the standard ground roll (bnroll.wav) is permanently playing, even when the plane has stopped and the power is off. Happens with every plane that has bnroll.wav as rolling sound, does not happen with planes with a different ground roll sound.Filemon says: fs9.exe READ bnroll.wavWhat might that be?RegardsBoris

Hey Everyone,Got a question, I just installed FS9 after not playing it for a long time and when I turn only going about 5mph on the ground, the plane tilts as if the wings are going to hit the ground. I use the CH Pro Pedals and the problem happens in all of my planes. I also have FSX installed and I have never had a problem so I am assuming its something with FS9. I really appreciate all the help. BTW I have Vista 32bit. I searched the forum and came up with nothing of my specific problem.Thanks,Kevin

Yesterday I did a flight to Almaty International Airport (UAAA) and I was wondering if there was any mesh files that cover that area? There are some big mountains right near the runway at UAAA.

I want to reinstall my FS9.1 update and want to make sure what files are going to be affected by the default FS9.1 files so I can reinstall those add-ons to prevent any weird stuff going on in FS9.Thanks in advance

I use Flightaware.com's extensive information when doing flight planning for my various AC. Unfortunately, Flightaware.com only covers the US when it comes to AP and procedure information. Does anyone know if there's a decent global source for AP and procedure information outside of the US? How do our European FS brethren handle flight planning?

Hi I have just downloaded a Antonov An-124 (an124.zip) Author Thomas Ruth plane created 2003 approx for FS9In install.txt he lists"Usual" animations All control surfaces, Gear, Nose door loading, Pax doors...."Unusual" animations (for which you have to assign keys to) are:Wingfold Open & close all upper deck pax doorsConcorde Nose Open & close engine cowlingTailhook Open & close rear cargo rampWater Rudder Open & close upper cargo deck emergency exitsAll work lovely except what is the usual key for Nose door loading? I have gone thru all key commands assigned and unassigned and nothing seems appropriate. This is the 'peace de resistance' for this plane…

I am waiting for my new rig to be finished - hopefully tonight - and I wanted to clear something up:my FS9 is on a separate HD - 7200rpm, not alas a 10000rpm Raptor - and I was wondering if there would be any advantage or disadvantage in installing FS Global, FE, GE Pro etc, in separate folders on the HD outside of FS9.ThanksNicholas

Just wondering if there are any high quality amphibian aircraft add-ons. Maybe something like a DeHavilland Twin Otter or a Cessna 208 amphibian? I'd specifically like an amphibian, not a float-only plane, if possible.

I decided to change my old pc : a P4 2.8 with 1 G of ram, ATI 1600 ....to something that would hopefully run FS2004 with all the bells and whistles, all slidersto the right. I will fly mostly in Europe with addons such as : Aerosoft german and spanish airports as wellas others. Full traffic with woai, Ground Environment 2006 , Ultimate terrain Europe, PMDG 737 andREX for FS9 when available....My new system would be a : Intel dual E8600 at 3.33 Ghz, 2X1 gigs of DDR ram, G9800 GTX+ 5122 seagate 500 Gs 7200 32m in raid 0, Win XP SP3.I need some advise on a good mobo for this system and would like to know if i would see a increase or performance with DDR3 ram vs DDR2 ramAnyon…

Hi,I switched to Vista Ultimate-64 a week ago and everything runs flawless except for AIS. The module sees neither FS2004 nor FSUIPs (registered). Any suggestions how to resolve this issue?ThanksDmitriy

Hi everyone,I know this is a hard and boring question, but I'm out of idea regarding my problem, after HOURS of googling and searching.Maybe someone here will have THE idea.Here's the problem: I got random CTD on FS9 after years of no problem.My spec: Core2Duo E6600, 2 Gigs of RAM, 7950GT, windows XP.I fly short hauls everyday without problems, but when I fly long hauls ( 10 hours +), I got CTD in 75% of cases, not in all cases. All my flights are on IVAO.Add-ons: AS, GE Pro, Utlimate Terrain. I fly 100% PMDG (737, 747, MD11 even on short hauls), and had already the problem some weeks before installing the MD11.Kind of CTD: 100% of CTD cases, just minutes before landing o…

Hi all. I am running both fsx and fs9 under vista 64my x52 runs perfectly under fsx , the only issue is that when i am taxing or on the rolling on the runway the nosewheel is a bit too sensitive.in fs9 however, the nosewheel continually goes to the left Once in the air it works perfectly. I tried to adjust the sensitivity but that does not work. Has anyone seen this before. Im not sure if it is a adjustment or a driver issue. How do i adjust the axis that controls the nosewheel. The nosewheel steering just has a mind of it [email protected]

In 2004 I bought the Reality 530XP v2.0 GPS. I tried to install it in a new computer. It seems to be installed correctly because the aircraft configutor came up and installed it into my new Flight One X-treame King Air B200. The three gauges show up in my King Air but the MAIN GPS gauge that is on top of the other two gauges will not "TURN ON" ! I've tried to read all of the instructions and have also reinstalled "the trainer GPS". I find this very, very complicated. Could someone please tell me how to turn on (power up) the main GPS. Thanks jerrycwo4

Hi AllIt would seem I have messed up while trying to deleat my default AI. I believe FS9 is now drawing AI from the disk despite replacing the traffic bgl and renaming it "bak". Is it poss to redirect away from the disk and back to the original bgl as I cannot deleat default AI. If it is, then very simple instructions are required for a simple person. :( All help gratefully recieved and many thanks in advance.Best regardsMalcolm Hancock (Rooster)
