The FS2004 (FS9) Forum

Hi all,I've been downloaded an A319CJ but its range is the same as the normal A320. Could you help me how to edit its range to make it larger?Or just how to edit its fuel consumptiion, to get bigger range in that way? :( Thank you so much!

Hello all,I just bought FSX deluxe. I still fly with FS2004 so I was wondering can I have both installed on the same computer and still be able to play both?Thanks StAu

Now that ACES has been mothballed, we all wonder when there will be a new version of FS released. While FSX is great program, there are still many, many people who will not be moving to FSX, in favor of staying with FS9, because with today's faster hardware, FS9 is more enjoyable than ever. What I'm trying to say is, FS9 is going to be a viable, money-making platform for all developers until the end of the financial crisis, when ACES is reopened. It only makes sense to continue to develop your payware products with both FS9 and FSX compatability. Under the current economic conditions, many of us are unlikely to upgrade our hardware any time soon, so staying with FS9 makes…

Can anyone help me I am trying to finish the install of the 737-600 but this is what comes up Installtion cannot continue your registry does not show a valid FS 9 Installation location could someone step by step show me how I can fix this thanks

HelloI have an ATC problem?? (I think). I took off IFR from Toronto RWY 33R for Boston Mass. Flight plan said first leg to turn to 105 degrees But ATC says 155 degrees and if I follow ATC instruction later they tell me to head to 200 plus degrees which will head me roughly to Chicago lol. So its not the flight plan but ATC that's incorrect. Can anyone help me solve the problem please?PS: This pro occurs on the NY JFK, & Ottawa and all points East of Toronto.

I'm trying to install FS9 onto a vista machine, but my addon terrain mesh FSGlobal SE won;t install (Vista, I expect). I've copied my old XP install across and overwritten the whole install, and it works, but it seems the terrain mesh is the old FS9 and not the Ultimate terrain mesh. Where are the terrain mesh files, and anyone any ideas why they don;t seem to be copied over, or work once they are?I had this problem a while back when I was copying over an install to a new drive. Then I simply reinstalled the FSGlobal, but that isn't an option now. Oh all the addon scenery seems to be added and selected.I did try this over on the scenery design board, but it seems pretty s…

Hi there, just wondering if anyone has a wiper and a switch for the PMDG 2d Landing view. ive found a couple of wipers but i cant edit the XML file so the wiper works properly. thanks for reading this, hope someone can help.

Hey everyone, ever since I installed Mexican Airports, my ATC is messed up. Messed up as in I cannot hear the transmission when my pilot talks to ATC. Also, when I am tuned into approach/departure/center, I hear random Spanish chatter. What I want is to get it back to the default. I just need to know what CD is on and where I need to extract it to in the FS folder.Thanks,Danny

Here (I hope) is sort of a screen shot of the problem I have been having with Real Environment Pro that I asked about in another Topic-"Real Environ Pro-ghosts" (Obviuosly I haven;t figured out Corel Paint Shop Pro yet. :>)But the forum rules say screen shots can only be uploaded in the FIRST post, so I started another topic. Hope that's ok.How do I get rid of this weird effect?Thanks,Bill

My friend and I finally hooked up on two or three servers via "Chocolates" "FSHOST_Spy"...it seemed everytime my friend inputed a attitude change the server dropped him?We changed our frame rates in FS9 to fixed 20...Could it be because we were not flying at the "designated" airport?Last week on my first multiplayer session with an other fellow, neither of us experienced a dropped server.Are we looking at a lack of computer memory in my friend's machine/Any hints...Dave

I've been using Fly Tampa's Miami airport scenery and it has served me pretty well but I FRF has come out with one as well. I have some of their other sceneries which aren't bad at all. I hate to give up a scenery that works but the FRF looks pretty interesting with the new J Terminal and all. How does it work for you?

I installed Real Environment Pro last nigh and thought the install went ok.But.. there is a kind of 'ghost' that follows whatever aircraft I use when I am over water.. a series of soft, thick light brownish vertical stripes enveloping the aircraft and moving with it.. at a slight distance...Notes--1-I backed up the original FS9 cfg2- when either installing or when selecting textures, something flashed by really quickly.. something maybe about-- could not replace a file.. I'm not sure.3- The install instructions say... "If you plan on using our Enhanced lights option please read the following:******BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR FS9 CONFIG FILE AS FOLLOWS******[DISPLAY]RUNWAY…

I am having problems loading the correct date and system time into fs2004. I'm using windows vista 64, never had this problem before with xp. Not sure what to do.thanksanthony

My friend and I have just started using multiplayer...during one flight we only see a text label in the sky saying "x" plane at at "y" altitude....though I did see a virtual view of the plane as it landed...Is it possible to see a wingman's plane in a flight/DaveCYEL

Hi,Anxious for their upcomming Daytona Beach v2 scenery, I check the Tropicalsim website www.tropicalsim.com on a daily basis.Since beginning of this week, I get a message from "HastyHost" "This Account Has Been Suspended".Does anyone know what happened? Are they out of business (surely hope not... they make some good scenerys).Regards,Frank

For those of you who take the trouble to make your fs9.exe process high priority in Task Mangler like I do just before takeoff - I found a neat little utility that will do it for you. In fact, it will make whichever window you have up the high priority task. I.E. when you switch windows, it makes the new window "High" priority and the one you just left is demoted to "Normal" priority. I have scanned the file with AVG and have tested it both at work and here on my home PC and have found no issues. Free at http://www.tucows.com/preview/428031Works on XP and Vista. It is only 1.8MB in size and stays in your tray. Right click the icon for options. Dolph

Did anyone ever make a payware scenery for Kos (LGKO) Greece? I thought I remember seeing one, but can't find it and don't remember who made it. I thought it was Aerosoft or Simwings, but neither one have it on their website.Never mind I found it. It was Aerosoft.

Hi,I was using "cmd /c start

Hello All,First time posting here but hoping to get some help.I have been running into issues with my PMDG 744 product not loading its options.dll. I think however that I have another issue or one which is somehow related to this one. Basically FS9 does not show me any tabs in my display options panel and all of the features currently shown are shaded out so I can not access them. Does anyone have an idea where to start with this.I have recently installed Imaginesim KATL as well as Mega City Dallas, Cloud 9 EHAM, FsDream Team KJFK and KORD, Georender Alaska Vol1.KATL, KDFW, KORD and the Alaska Scenery were all installed around the time when this started. KJFK and EHAM…

Hi y'all, I have just installed FS2004 on my new computer (which has the juice to run it - dual core processor at 4 gHz, Geforce 9200 card, 4 GB of ram), but I'm having a very bizarre problem. The external views won't refresh. I can't really even describe it that well. For instance, sitting at KSEA in the default 172, I can tell that FS is running fine, because when I throttle up, the gauges all reflect the increase (pressure increases, RPM increases, so forth); in fact, if I release the brakes, I can even get up to speed and take off, as reflected by the airspeed indicator, artificial horizon, altimeter, VSI, etc. etc. But the view outside the cockpit is still just looki…

Hi there,Does anyone know how to make AI Aardvark planes to show up with the "Explorer" plug in under TOOLS menu? It's the utility that comes with TRAFFIC SDK from FS2004. I do have the AI traffic planes installed but I only see them when they are assigned to a flightplan. thanks

Hello,I downloaded the Project tupolev tu-154B2, which is great (though not as great as the tu-154M) but the textures are blurred when look in front of the airplane. This problem occured also with the FsFrance Concorde except with one texture (exactly the same format as the other).

Hi all,I knew BAV were going off-line Jan 26th. But thinking they may be up and running by now I tried logging in, to no avail.Does anyone have any info on the status of this VA?Regards JohnT

Hi.Anyone got this?The rwys have changed designation, but what ever AFCAD I try from Avsim to fix this, nothing happens.Please help.Eddie

I have given up trying to adapt my Aerosoft ACP Compact control unit to my new computer so I will give it away FREE to the first person that sends me the postage to ship it to you. I paid $301.95 for it in 2001 and used it with my FS2002. There is a "update" to use it in FS2004 if you can hook it up to your computer. It has two cables on it. Both cables have the old style DIN 5 connectors on them. One cable connects to your computer and the other one connects to your keyboard. I tried adapters going from a DIN 5 to a SP/2 and then to a USB connection but that didn't work. I gave up and bought new GO FLIGHT gear. This was a great unit and controls about everything for yo…
